Isaiah 19
1 A declaration about Egypt. See, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt; the idols of Egypt quake before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within themselves.
エジプトにかかる重負のよげんいはく ヱホバははやき雲にのりてエジプトに來りたまふエジプトのもろもろの偶像はその前にふるひをののきエジプト人のこころはその衷にて消ゆかん
2 “I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: A man will fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city will be against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
我エジプト人をたけび勇ましめてエジプト人を攻しめん斯てかれら各自その兄弟をせめおのおのその鄰をせめ邑は邑をせめ國はくにを攻べし
3 The spirit of Egypt will be weakened from within. I will destroy his advice, though they sought the advice of idols, dead men's spirits, mediums, and spiritualists.
エジプト人の靈魂うせてその中むなしくならんわれその謀略をほろぼすべしかれらは偶像および呪文をとなふるもの巫女魔術者にもとむることを爲ん
4 I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a harsh master, and a strong king will rule over them— this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.”
われエジプト人を苛酷なる主人の手にわたさんあらあらしき王かれらを治むべし是主萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
5 The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will dry up and become empty.
海の水はつき河もまた涸てかわかん
6 The rivers will become foul; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up; the reeds and flags will wither away.
また河々はくさき臭をはなちエジプトの堭はみな漸次にへりてかわき葦と蘆とかれはてん
7 The reeds along the Nile, at the mouth of the Nile, and every sown field beside the Nile will become parched, will be driven away, and will be no more.
ナイルのほとりの草原ナイルの岸にほどちかき所すべてナイルの最寄にまきたる者はことごとく枯てちりうせん
8 The fishermen will wail and mourn, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will grieve.
漁者もまた歎きすべてナイルに釣をたるる者はかなしみ網を水のうへに施ものはおとろふべし
9 The workers in combed flax and those who weave white cloth will turn pale.
練たる麻にて物つくるもの白布を織ものは恥あわて
10 The cloth workers of Egypt will be crushed; all who work for hire will be grieved within themselves.
その柱はくだけ一切のやとはれたる者のこころ憂ひかなしまん
11 The princes of Zoan are completely foolish. The advice of the wisest advisors of Pharaoh has become senseless. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of wise men, a son of ancient kings?”
誠やゾアンの諸侯は愚なりパロの最もかしこき議官のはかりごとは癡鈍べし然ばなんぢら何でパロに
12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and make known what Yahweh of hosts plans concerning Egypt.
あなたの賢い者はどこにおるか。彼らをして、万軍の主がエジプトについて定められたことをあなたに告げ知らしめよ。
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have made Egypt go astray, who are the cornerstones of her tribes.
ゾアンの君たちは愚かとなり、メンピスの君たちは欺かれ、エジプトのもろもろの部族の隅の石たる彼らは、かえってエジプトを迷わせた。
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of distortion into her midst, and they have led Egypt astray in all she does, like a drunk staggering in his vomit.
主は曲った心を彼らのうちに混ぜられた。彼らはエジプトをして、すべてその行うことに迷わせ、あたかも酔った人の物吐くときによろめくようにさせた。
15 There is nothing anyone can do for Egypt, whether head or tail, palm branch or reed.
エジプトに対しては、頭あるいは尾、しゅろの枝あるいは葦が共になしうるわざはない。
16 In that day, the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the upraised hand of Yahweh of hosts that he raises over them.
その日、エジプトびとは女のようになり、万軍の主の彼らの上に振り動かされるみ手の前に恐れおののく。
17 The land of Judah will become a cause of staggering to Egypt. Whenever anyone reminds them of her, they will be afraid, because of the plan of Yahweh, that he is planning against them.
ユダの地は、エジプトびとに恐れられ、ユダについて語り告げることを聞くエジプトびとはみな、万軍の主がエジプトびとにむかって定められた計りごとのゆえに恐れる。
18 In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to Yahweh of hosts. One of these will be called The City of the Sun.
その日、エジプトの地にカナンの国ことばを語り、また万軍の主に誓いを立てる五つの町があり、その中の一つは太陽の町ととなえられる。
19 In that day there will be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a stone pillar at the border to Yahweh.
その日、エジプトの国の中に主をまつる一つの祭壇があり、その境に主をまつる一つの柱がある。
20 It will be as a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
これはエジプトの国で万軍の主に、しるしとなり、あかしとなる。彼らがしえたげる者のゆえに、主に叫び求めるとき、主は救う者をつかわして、彼らを守り助けられる。
21 Yahweh will become known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will acknowledge Yahweh on that day. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings, and will make vows to Yahweh and fulfill them.
主はご自分をエジプトびとに知らせられる。その日、エジプトびとは主を知り、犠牲と供え物とをもって主に仕え、主に誓願をたててこれを果す。
22 Yahweh will afflict Egypt, afflicting and healing. They will return to Yahweh; he will hear their prayer and will heal them.
主はエジプトを撃たれる。主はこれを撃たれるが、またいやされる。それゆえ彼らは主に帰る。主は彼らの願いをいれて、彼らをいやされる。
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come to Egypt, and the Egyptian to Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
その日、エジプトからアッスリヤに通う大路があって、アッスリヤびとはエジプトに、エジプトびとはアッスリヤに行き、エジプトびとはアッスリヤびとと共に主に仕える。
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
その日、イスラエルはエジプトとアッスリヤと共に三つ相並び、全地のうちで祝福をうけるものとなる。
25 Yahweh of hosts will bless them and say, “Blessed be Egypt, my people; Assyria, the work of my hands; and Israel, my inheritance.”
万軍の主は、これを祝福して言われる、「さいわいなるかな、わが民なるエジプト、わが手のわざなるアッスリヤ、わが嗣業なるイスラエル」と。
