Isaiah 17
1 The oracle on Damascus, —Lo! Damascus, is to be removed from being a city, And shall become a heap of ruins:
ダマスコにかかはる重負の預言いはく 視よダマスコは邑のすがたをうしなひて荒墟となるべし
2 Forsaken, are the desolate cities, —For flocks, shall they serve, Which shall lie down and have none to make them afraid.
アロエルの諸邑はすてられん獸畜のむれそこにすみてその伏やすめるをおびやかす者もなからん
3 Then shall the fortress cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus and the remnant of Syria, —Like the glory of the sons of Israel, shall they be, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
エフライムの城はすたりダマスコの政治はやみスリアの遺れる者はイスラエルの子輩のさかえのごとく消うせん是は萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, That the glory of Jacob, shall be diminished, And, the fatness of his flesh, shall be wasted;
その日ヤコブの榮はおとろへその肥たる肉はやせて
5 And it shall come to pass—That, as the harvestman gathereth standing corn, And with his arm—the ears, he reapeth, Yea it shall come to pass—That, so, shall he be who gleaneth ears, in the vale of Rephaim;
あだかも收穫人の麥をかりあつめ腕をもて穂をかりたる後のごとくレパイムの谷に穂をひろひたるあとの如くならん
6 Yet shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive-tree, —Two-three berries in the head of the tree-top, —Four—five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh God of Israel.
されど橄欖樹をうつとき二つ三の核を杪にのこしあるひは四つ五をみのりおほき樹の外面のえだに遺せるが如く採のこさるるものあるべし是イスラエルの神ヱホバの聖言なり
7 In that day, shall the son of earth look to him that made him, —And his eyes unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;
その日人おのれを造れるものを仰ぎのぞみイスラエルの聖者に目をとめん
8 And he shall not look unto the altars the work of his own hands, —Nor to what his own fingers have made, shall his eye be turned, Whether Sacred Stems or Sun-pillars.
斯ておのれの手の工なる祭壇をあふぎ望まずおのれの指のつくりたるアシラの像と日の像とに目をとめじ
9 In that day, shall his fortified cities become Like a neglected bough and a topmost branch, Which they neglected because of the sons of Israel, —So shall there be desolation.
その日かれが堅固なるまちまちは昔イスラエルの子輩をさけてすてさりたる森のなか嶺のうへに今のこれる荒跡のごとく荒地となるべし
10 Because thou didst forget the God of thy salvation, And thy Rock of refuge, thou didst not remember, For this cause, shalt thou plant very pleasant plants, And, the slip of a stranger, shalt thou set:
そは汝おのがすくひの神をわすれ己がちからとなるべき磐を心にとめざりしによるこのゆゑになんぢ美くしき植物をうゑ異やうの枝をさし
11 In the day when thou plantest, fence thou in, And in the morning, cause thou, thy slip, to blossom, —A harvest will have waved in the day of destiny, and mortal pain.
かつ植たる日に籬をまはし朝に芽をいださしむれども患難の日といたましき憂の日ときたりて收穫の果はとびさらん
12 Alas! the booming of many peoples, Like the booming of the seas, shall they boom, —And the rushing of nations! Like the rushing of mighty waters, shall they rush.
唉おほくの民はなりどよめけり海のなりどよめく如くかれらも鳴動めけりもろもろの國はなりひびけり、戸じ大水のなりひびくが如くかれらも鳴響けり
13 Though nations like the rushing of many waters, shall rush, Yet shall one rebuke him, And he shall flee far away, —And be chased As the chaff of the mountains before a wind, And as whirling stubble before a storm!
もろもろの國はおほくの水のなりひびくがごとく鳴響かんされど神かれらを攻たまふべしかれら遠くのがれて風にふきさらるる山のうヘの粃糠のごとくまた旋風にふきさらるる塵のごとくならん
14 At eventide, lo! terror, Before morning, he is not! This, is the portion of them who plunder us, And the lot of them who make of us a prey.
視よゆふぐれに恐怖ありいまだ黎明にいたらずして彼等は亡たり これ我儕をかすむる者のうくべき報われらを奪ふもののひくべき鬮なり
