Joel 2
1 Blow ye a horn in Zion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land, tremble, —for coming is the day of Yahweh, for it is near!—
汝らシオンにて喇叭を吹け 我聖山にて音たかく之を吹鳴せ 國の民みな慄ひわななかん そはヱホバの日きたらんとすればなり すでに近づけり
2 A day of obscurity and deep gloom, a day of cloud, and thick darkness, as dusk, spread over the mountains, —a people, many and bold, like whom, hath not been from age-past times, and, after whom, shall not be again unto the years of generation after generation.
この日は黑くをぐらき日雲むらがるまぐらき日にしてしののめの山々にたなびくが如し 數おほく勢さかんなる民むれいたらん かかる者はいにしへよりありしことなくのちの代々の年にもあることなかるべし
3 Before him, hath a fire, devoured, and, after him, shall a flame, consume, —As the garden of Eden, is the land before him, but, after him, a desert most desolate, Moreover also, escape, giveth he none.
火彼らの前を焚き火熖かれらの後にもゆ その過さる前は地エデンのごとくその過しのちは荒はてたる野の如し 此をのがれうるもの一としてあることなし
4 As the appearance of horses, is his appearance, and, as war-horses, so, shall they run:
彼らの状は馬のかたちのごとく其馳ありくことは軍馬のごとし
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, shall they rattle along, like the noise of a flame of fire, devouring dry straw, —like a people bold, arrayed for battle.
その山の嶺にとびをどる音は車の轟聲がごとし また火の稗株をやくおとの如くしてその樣強き民の行伍をたてて戰陣にのぞむに似たり
6 Because of him, shall peoples’, be in anguish, —all faces, have withdrawn their colour.
そのむかふところ諸民戰慄きその面みな色を失ふ
7 Like heroes, shall they run, like men of war, shall they mount a wall, —and, every one—along his own road, shall they march along, and shall not change their paths;
彼らは勇士の如くに趨あるき軍人のごとくに石垣に攀のぼる 彼ら各々おのが道を進みゆきてその列を亂さず
8 Nor, against each other, shall they strike, Each—on his own highway, shall they march, —though, in among the weapons, they fall, they shall not stop.
彼ら互に推あはず各々その道にしたがひて進み行く 彼らは刄に觸るとも身を害はず
9 Upon the city, shall they leap, on the wall, shall they run, up the houses, shall they climb, —through the windows, shall they enter, like a thief,
彼らは邑をかけめぐり石垣の上に奔り家に攀登り盗賊のごとくに窓より入る
10 Before him, hath quaked the earth, have trembled the heavens, —the sun and the moon, have become dark, and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining;
そのむかふところ地ゆるぎ天震ひ日も月も暗くなり星その光明を失ふ
11 And, Yahweh, hath uttered his voice, before his host, for great indeed is his camp, for bold is he who executeth his word, —for great is the day of Yahweh, and awful exceedingly, Who then shall endure it?
ヱホバその軍勢の前にて聲をあげたまふ 其軍旅はなはだ大なればなり 其言を爲とぐる者は強し ヱホバの日は大にして甚だ畏るべきが故に誰かこれに耐ることを得んや
12 Even now, therefore, urgeth Yahweh, Turn ye unto me, with all your heart, —and with fasting and with weeping, and with lamentation;
然どヱホバ言たまふ 今にても汝ら斷食と哭泣と悲哀とをなし心をつくして我に歸れ
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, turn therefore, unto Yahweh your God, —for, gracious and full of compassion, is he, slow to anger, and abundant in loving- kindness, and will grieve over calamity.
汝ら衣を裂かずして心を裂き汝等の神ヱホバに歸るべし 彼は恩惠あり憐憫ありかつ怒ることゆるく愛憐大にして災害をなすを悔たまふなり
14 Who knoweth, he may turn and grieve, —and leave behind him, a blessing, a meal-offering and a drink-offering, to Yahweh your God?
誰か彼のあるひは立歸り悔て祝福をその後にとめのこし汝らをして素祭と灌祭とをなんぢらの神ヱホバにささげしめたまはじと知んや
15 Blow ye a horn, in Zion, —hallow a fast, call a solemn assembly:
汝らシオンにて喇叭を吹きならし斷食を定め公會をよびつどへ
16 Gather the people, hallow a convocation, collect the elders, gather the children, and the sucklings of the breasts, —let the bridegroom, come forth, from his chamber, and the bride from her bower:
民を集めその會を潔くし老たる人をあつめ孩童と乳哺子を集め新郎をその室より呼いだし新婦をその密室より呼いだせ
17 Between the porch and the altar, let the priests, weep, the attendants of Yahweh, —and let them say—Look with pity, O Yahweh, upon thy people, and do not deliver thine inheritance to reproach, that the nations, should mock them, Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
而してヱホバに事ふる祭司等は廊と祭壇の間にて泣て言へ ヱホバよ汝の民を赦したまへ 汝の產業を恥辱しめらるるに任せ之を異邦人に治めさする勿れ 何ぞ異邦人をして彼らの神は何處にあると言しむべけんや
18 And Yahweh became jealous for his land, —and took pity on his people;
然せばヱホバ己の地にために嫉妬を起しその民を憐みたまはん
19 Then answered Yahweh, and said to his people: —Behold me! sending you the corn, and the new wine and the oil, so shall ye be satisfied therewith; and I will not make you, any more, a reproach among the nations.
ヱホバ應へてその民に言たまはん 視よ我穀物とあたらしき酒と油を汝におくる 汝ら之に飽ん 我なんぢらをして重ねて異邦人の中に恥辱を蒙らしめじ
20 And, the Northerner, will I remove far from you, and drive him into a land parched and desolate, with, his face, toward the eastern sea, and, his rear, toward the hinder sea, —then shall come up his ill odour, yea his stench, shall ascend, because he hath shown himself great in doing.
我北よりきたる軍を遠く汝らより離れしめうるほひなき荒地に逐やらん 其前軍を東の海にその後軍を西の海に入れん その臭味立ちその惡臭騰らん 是大なる事を爲たるに因る
21 Be not thou afraid, O soil, —exult and rejoice, because Yahweh, hath shown himself great, in doing.
地よ懼るる勿れ 喜び樂しめ ヱホバ大なる事を行ひたまふなり
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field, for sprouted have the pastures of the wilderness, —for, the tree, hath borne its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine, have yielded their wealth.
野の獸よ懼るる勿れ あれ野の牧草はもえいで樹は果を結び無花果樹葡萄樹はその力をめざすなり
23 Ye sons of Zion, then, exult and be glad in Yahweh your God, for he hath given you the seed-rain, in right manner, —Yea he hath caused to descend for you a down-pour, of seed-rain and of the harvest-rain in the first month;
シオンの子等よ 汝らの神ヱホバによりて樂め喜べ ヱホバは秋の雨を適當なんぢらに賜ひまた前のごとく秋の雨と春の雨とを汝らの上に降せたまふ
24 So shall the threshing-floors, be filled, with corn, —and the vats, overflow, with new wine and oil.
打塲には穀物盈ち甕にはあたらしき酒と油溢れん
25 Then will I make good to you the years which were eaten by the swarming locust, the grass locust, and the corn locust and the creeping locust, —even my great army, which I sent among you.
我が汝らに遣しし大軍すなはち群ゐる蝗なめつくす蝗喫ほろぼす蝗噬くらふ蝗の觸あらせる年をわれ汝らに賠はん
26 And ye shall eat and eat, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Yahweh your God, who hath dealt with you wondrously, —so shall my people, not be abashed, unto times age-abiding.
汝らは食ひ食ひて飽き よのつねならずなんぢらを待ひたまひし汝らの神ヱホバの名をほめ頌へん 我民はとこしへに辱しめらるることなかるべし
27 So shall ye know that, in the midst of Israel, I am, and that, I, Yahweh, am your God, and none else, —and my people, shall not be abashed, unto times age-abiding.
かくて汝らはイスラエルの中に我が居るを知り汝らの神ヱホバは我のみにて外に無きことを知らん 我民は永遠に辱かしめらるることなかるべし
28 And it shall come to pass, afterwards, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters, shall prophesy, —your old men, shall dream, dreams, your young men, shall see, visions;
その後われ吾靈を一切の人に注がん 汝らの男子女子は預言せん 汝らの老たる人は夢を見 汝らの少き人は異象を見ん
29 Moreover also, upon the servants and upon the handmaids—in those days, will I pour out my spirit;
その日我またわが靈を僕婢に注がん
30 And I will set forth wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, —blood, and fire, and columns of smoke:
また天と地に徴證を顯さん 即ち血あり火あり煙の柱あるべし
31 The sun, shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh.
ヱホバの大なる畏るべき日の來らん前に日は暗く月は血に變らん
32 And it shall come to pass, whosoever, shall call on the name of Yahweh, shall be delivered, —For in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, shall be a delivered remnant, just as Yahweh hath said, and among the survivors, whom Yahweh doth call.
凡てヱホバの名を龥ぶ者は救はるべし そはヱホバの宣ひし如くシオンの山とヱルサレムとに救はれし者あるべければなり 其遺れる者の中にヱホバの召し給へるものあらん
