Joel 1
1 The word of Yahweh, which came unto Joel, son of Pethuel.
ペトエルの子ヨエルに臨めるヱホバの言
2 Hear this, ye elders, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land, —hath this ever happened in your days? or in the days of your fathers?
老たる人よ汝ら是を聽け すべて此地に住む者汝ら耳を傾けよ 汝らの世あるは汝らの先祖の世にも是のごとき事ありしや
3 Concerning it, to your children, tell ye the story, —and your children, to their children, and their children, to the generation following: —
汝ら之を子に語り子はまた之をその子に語りその子之を後の代に語りつたへよ
4 That which was left by the creeping locust, hath the swarming locust eaten, and, that which was left by the swarming locust, hath the grass locust eaten; and, that which was left by the grass locust, hath the corn locust eaten.
噬くらふ蝗虫の遺せる者は群ゐる蝗虫のくらふ所となりその遺せる者はなめつくすおほねむしのくらふ所となりその遺せる者は喫ほろぼす蝗虫の食ふ所となれり
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, —over the new wine, because it hath been cut off from your mouth.
醉る者よ汝ら目を醒して泣け すべて酒をのむ者よ哭きさけべ あたらしき酒なんぢらの口に絶えたればなり
6 For, a nation, hath come up over my land, bold, and without number, —his teeth, are the teeth of a lion, and, the fangs of a lioness, hath he!
そはことなる民わが國に攻よすればなり その勢ひ強くその數はかられずその齒は獅子の齒のごとくその牙は牝獅子の牙のごとし
7 He hath turned my vine to a waste, and my fig-tree to splinters, —he hath, barked it clean, and cast it down, bleached are its branches.
彼等わが葡萄の樹を荒しわが無花果の樹を折りその皮をはぎはだかにして之を棄つ その枝白くなれり
8 Wail thou, like a virgin girded with sackcloth, for the owner of her youth.
汝ら哀哭かなしめ 貞女その若かりしときの夫のゆゑに麻布を腰にまとひて哀哭かなしむがごとくせよ
9 Cut off are the meal-offering and the drink-offering, from the house of Yahweh, —In grief are the priests, the attendants on Yahweh: —
素祭灌祭ともにヱホバの家に絶えヱホバに事ふる祭司等哀傷をなす
10 Laid waste is the field, in grief is the soil, —for laid waste is the corn, abashed is the new wine, languisheth the oil.
田は荒れ地は哀傷む 是穀物荒はて新しき酒つき油たえんとすればなり
11 Turn pale, ye husbandmen, howl, ye vinedressers, over the wheat, and over the barley, —for perished is the harvest of the field.
こむぎ大麥の故をもて農夫羞ぢよ 葡萄をつくり哭けよ 田の禾稼うせはてたればなり
12 The vine, is abashed, and, the fig-tree, languisheth, —pomegranate, palm also, and apple—all the trees of the field, have withered, Yea abashed is gladness, away from the sons of men.
葡萄樹は枯れ無花果樹は萎れ石榴 椰子 林檎および野の諸の樹は凋みたり 是をもて世の人の喜樂かれうせぬ
13 Gird yourselves and beat the breast—ye priests, howl, ye attendants of the altar, go in and wrap yourselves for the night in sackcloth, ye attendants on my God, —for, withholden from the house of your God, are the meal-offering and the drink- offering.
祭司よ汝ら麻布を腰にまとひてなきかなしめ 祭壇に事ふる者よ汝らなきさけべ 神に事ふる者よなんぢら來り麻布をまとひて夜をすごせ 其は素祭も灌祭も汝らの神の家に入ことあらざればなり
14 Hallow ye a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather, O elders, all the inhabitants of the land, unto the house of Yahweh your God, —and make ye outcry unto Yahweh.
汝ら斷食を定め集會を設け長老等を集め國の居民をことごとく汝らの神ヱホバの家に集めヱホバにむかひて號呼れよ
15 Alas for the day! For near is the day of Yahweh, and, as a veritable Destruction from the Destroyer, shall it come.
ああその日は禍なるかな ヱホバの日近く暴風のごとくに全能者より來らん
16 Is it not, before our eyes, that, food, hath been cut off? From the house of our God, rejoicing and exultation.
我らがまのあたりに食物絶えしにあらずや 我らの神の家に歡喜と快樂絶えしにあらずや
17 Rotted hath the seed, under their clods, Laid waste are their stores, Thrown down are the garners, —Yea abashed is the corn.
種は土の下に朽ち倉は壞れ廩は圯る そは穀物ほろぼされたればなり
18 How do the beasts groan! Perplexed are the herds of oxen, because there is no pasture for them, —even, the flocks of sheep, are destroyed!
いかに畜獸は哀み鳴くや 牛の群は亂れ迷ふ 草なければなり 羊の群もまた死喪ん
19 Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I cry, —for, a fire, hath consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and, a flame, hath set ablaze all the trees of the field.
ヱホバよ我なんぢに向ひて呼はらん 荒野の諸の草は火にて焼け野の諸の樹は火熖にてやけつくればなり
20 Even the beasts of the field, moan unto thee, —because dried up are the channels of water, and, a fire, hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
野の獸もまた汝にむかひて呼はらん 其は水の流涸はて荒野の草火にてやけつくればなり
