< Joel 3 >
1 For lo! in those days, and at that time, —when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
觀よ我ユダとヱルサレムの俘囚人を歸さん その日その時
2 Then will I gather all the nations, and bring them down into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —and will enter into judgment with them there, concerning my people, and mine inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, and, my land, they apportioned;
萬國の民を集め之を携へてヨシヤパテの谷にくだりかしこにて我民我ゆづりの產なるイスラエルのために彼らをさばかん 彼らこれを國々に散してその地を分ち取りたればなり
3 And, for my people, they cast lots, —and gave a boy for a harlot, and a girl sold they for wine—and drank.
彼らは籤をひきて我民を取り童子を娼妓に換へ童女を賣り酒に換て飮めり
4 Moreover also, what have, ye, to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the circuit of Palestine? A recompense, are ye paying back unto me? But, though ye should make a recompense unto me, swiftly, speedily, would I return your recompense upon your own head.
ツロ、シドンよベリシテのすべての國よ 汝ら我と何のかかはりあらんや 汝ら我がなししことに返をなさんとするや 若し我に返報をなさんとならば我忽ち迅速に汝らがなししことをもてその首に歸らしめん
5 Because, my silver and my gold, ye took away, —and, my richly beautiful things, carried ye into your temples;
是は汝らは我の金銀を取り我のしたふべき寶を汝らの宮にたづさへゆき
6 And, the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem, ye sold to the sons of Greece, —that they might be far removed from their own boundary.
またユダの人とヱルサレムの人をギリシヤ人に賣りてその本國より遠く離らせたればなり
7 Behold me! rousing them up out of the place whither ye sold them, —So will I bring back your dealing upon your own head.
視よ我かられを起して汝らが賣りたる處より出し汝らがなししことをもてその首にかへらしめん
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to Sabeans, unto a nation afar off, —for, Yahweh, hath spoken.
我はなんぢらの男子女子をユダの人の手に賣り彼らは之を遠き民なるシバ人に賣らん ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 Proclaim ye this, among the nations, Hallow a war, rouse the mighty ones, let them draw near, come up, all the men of war!
もろもろの國に宣つたへよ 戰爭の準備を爲し勇士をはげまし軍人をことごとくちかより來らしめよ
10 Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears, —as for the weak, let him say, mighty, I am.
汝等の鋤を劍に打かへ汝らの鎌を鎗に打かへよ 弱き者も我は強しと言へ
11 Give help—and come in, all ye nations on every side, and gather yourselves together, —Thither, bring down, O Yahweh, thy mighty ones!
四周の國々の民よ汝ら急ぎ上りて集れ ヱホバよ汝の勇士をかしこに降したまへ
12 Let the nations, be roused, and come up, into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —for, there, will I sit to judge all the nations, on every side.
國々の民よ起て上りヨシヤパテの谷に至れ 彼處に我座をしめて四周の國々の民をことごとく鞫かん
13 Thrust ye in the vintage knife, for, grown ripe, is the vintage, —Go in, tread down, for full is the winepress, flow over do the vats, for abundant is their wickedness.
鎌をいれよ 穀物は熟せり 來り踏めよ酒榨は盈ち甕は溢る 彼らの惡大なればなりと
14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the vale of strict decision, —for near is the day of Yahweh, in the vale of strict decision.
かまびすしきかな無數の民審判の谷にありてかまびすし ヱホバの日審判の谷に近づくが故なり
15 The sun and the moon, have become dark, —and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining,
日も月も暗くなり星その光明を失ふ
16 And, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble, —but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons of Israel.
ヱホバ、シオンよりよびとどろかしヱルサレムより聲をはなち天地を震ひうごかしたまふ 然れどヱホバはその民の避所イスラエルの子孫の城となりたまはん
17 So shall ye know that, I, Yahweh, am your God, making my habitation in Zion my holy mountain, —So shall, Jerusalem, be, holy, and, foreigners, shall pass through her no more.
かくて汝ら我はヱホバ汝等の神にして我聖山シオンに住むことをしるべし ヱルサレムは聖き所となり他國の人は重ねてその中をかよふまじ
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow down with milk, and, all the channels of Judah, shall flow down with waters, —and, a spring, out of the house of Yahweh, shall come forth, and shall water the torrent-valley of the acacias.
その日山にあたらしき酒滴り岡に乳流れユダのもろもろの河に水流れヱホバの家より泉水流れいでてシッテムの谷に灌がん
19 Egypt, to a desolation, shall be turned, and, Edom, to a desert most desolate, shall be changed, —because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in that they shed innocent blood in their land.
エジプトは荒すたれエドムは荒野とならん 是はかれらユダの子孫を虐げ辜なき者の血をその國に流したればなり
20 But, Judah, age-abidingly, shall remain, and, Jerusalem, to generation after generation.
されどユダは永久にすまひヱルサレムは世々に保たん
21 And I will free from their blood-guiltiness them whom I had not freed, —for, Yahweh, is about to make his habitation in Zion.
我さきにはかれらが流しし血の罪を報いざりしが今はこれをむくいん ヱホバ、シオンに住みたまはん
