Isaiah 17
1 [the] oracle of Damascus there! Damascus [is] about to be removed from a city and it will be a ruin of a ruin.
ダマスコについての託宣。見よ、ダマスコは町の姿を失って、荒塚となる。
2 [will be] abandoned [the] cities of Aroer for flocks they will be and they will lie down and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
その町々はとこしえに捨てられ、家畜の群れの住む所となって、伏しやすむが、これを脅かす者はない。
3 And it will cease fortress from Ephraim and kingship from Damascus and [the] remnant of Aram like [the] glory of [the] people of Israel they will be [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
エフライムのとりではすたり、ダマスコの主権はやみ、スリヤの残れる者は、イスラエルの子らの栄光のように消えうせると万軍の主は言われる。
4 And it will be in the day that it will become low [the] glory of Jacob and [the] fatness of flesh its it will be made lean.
その日、ヤコブの栄えは衰え、その肥えたる肉はやせ、
5 And it will be like [the] gathering of a harvest of standing grain and arm his ears of grain someone will reap and it will be like [one who] gathers ears of grain in [the] valley of Rephaim.
あたかも刈入れ人がまだ刈らない麦を集め、かいなをもって穂を刈り取ったあとのように、レパイムの谷で穂を拾い集めたあとのようになる。
6 And it will be left in it gleanings like [the] beating of an olive tree two three olives at [the] top of [the] tree-top four five on branches its fruit-bearing [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
オリブの木を打つとき、二つ三つの実をこずえに残し、あるいは四つ五つをみのり多き木の枝に残すように、とり残されるものがあるとイスラエルの神、主は言われる。
7 In the day that he will look person on maker his and eyes his to [the] holy [one] of Israel they will see.
その日、人々はその造り主を仰ぎのぞみ、イスラエルの聖者に目をとめ、
8 And not he will look to the altars [the] work of hands his and [that] which they have made fingers his not he will see and the Asherah poles and the incense altars.
おのれの手のわざである祭壇を仰ぎのぞまず、おのれの指が造ったアシラ像と香の祭壇とに目をとめない。
9 In the day that they will be - [the] cities of refuge his like [the] forsaken [place] of the forest and the tree-top which they abandoned because of [the] people of Israel and it will be a desolation.
その日、彼らの堅固な町々は昔イスラエルの子らのゆえに捨て去られたヒビびとおよびアモリびとの荒れ跡のように荒れ地になる。
10 For you have forgotten [the] God of salvation your and [the] rock of refuge your not you have remembered there-fore you plant plantations of pleasantness and [the] vine branch of a stranger you sow it.
これはあなたがたが自分の救の神を忘れ、自分の避け所なる岩を心にとめなかったからだ。それゆえ、あなたがたは美しい植物を植え、異なる神の切り枝をさし、
11 On [the] day of planting your you cause to grow and in the morning seed your you cause to sprout a heap a harvest in a day of [being] sick and pain incurable.
その植えた日にこれを成長させ、そのまいた朝にこれを花咲かせても、その収穫は悲しみと、いやしがたい苦しみの日にとび去る。
12 Woe to! [the] tumult of peoples many as roar [the] seas they roar! and [the] uproar of nations like [the] uproar of waters mighty they are in an uproar!
ああ、多くの民はなりどよめく、海のなりどよめくように、彼らはなりどよめく。ああ、もろもろの国はなりとどろく、大水のなりとどろくように、彼らはなりとどろく。
13 Nations like [the] uproar of waters many they are in an uproar! and he will rebuke it and it will flee from a distance and it will be chased like chaff of mountains before a wind and like whirling dust before a storm-wind.
もろもろの国は多くの水のなりとどろくように、なりとどろく。しかし、神は彼らを懲しめられる。彼らは遠くのがれて、風に吹き去られる山の上のもみがらのように、また暴風にうず巻くちりのように追いやられる。
14 To a time of evening and there! sudden terror before morning there not [is] it this [will be] [the] portion of [those who] plunder us and [the] lot of [those who] despoil us.
夕暮には、見よ、恐れがある。まだ夜の明けないうちに彼らはうせた。これはわれわれをかすめる者の受くべき分、われわれを奪う者の引くべきくじである。
