Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
うみべの荒野にかかる重負のよげん いはく／荒野よりおそるべき地より南のかたの暴風のふきすぐるが如くきたれり
2 A grievous vision is declared to me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler plundereth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all its sighing have I made to cease.
われ苛き默示をしめされたり 欺騙者はあざむき荒すものはあらすべし エラムよ上れメデアよかこめ 我すでにすべての歎息をやめしめたり
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
この故にわが腰は甚だしくいたみ 產にのぞめる婦人の如き苦しみ我にせまれり われ悶へ苦しみて聞ことあたはず我をののきて見ことあたはず
4 My heart panted, fearfulness terrified me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear to me.
わが心みだれまどひて慴き怖ること甚だし わが樂しめる夕はかはりて懼れとなりぬ
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
彼らは席をまうけ筵をしきてくひのみす もろもろの君よたちて盾にあぶらぬれ
6 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
ヱホバかく我にいひ給へり 汝ゆきて斥候をおきその見るところを告しめよ
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
かれ馬にのりて二列にならび來るものを見 また驢馬にのりたると駱駝にのりたるとをみば 耳をかたぶけて詳細にきくことをせしめよと
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my post whole nights:
かれ獅の如く呼はりて曰けるは わが主よわれ終日やぐらに立よもすがら斥候の地にたつ
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken to the ground.
馬にのりて二列にならびたる者きたれり 彼こたへていはくバビロンは倒れたり 倒れたりそのもろもろの神の像はくだけて地にふしたり
10 O my threshing, and the grain of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared to you.
蹂躙らるるわが民よわが打場のたなつものよ 我イスラエルの神萬軍のヱホバに聞るところのものを汝につげたり
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
ドマに係るおもにの預言 いはく／人ありセイルより我をよびていふ 斥候よ夜はなにのときぞ 斥候よ夜はなにの時ぞ
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
ものみ答へていふ 朝きたり夜またきたる 汝もしとはんとおもはば問 なんぢら歸りきたるべし
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
アラビヤにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／デダンの客商よなんぢらはアラビヤの林にやどらん
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they met with their bread him that fled.
テマの地のたみよ水をたづさへて渇ける者をむかへ 糧をもて逃遁れたるものを迎へよ
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
かれらは刃をさけ 旣にぬきたる劍すでに張たる弓およびたたかひの艱難をさけて逃きたれり
16 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
そは主われにいひたまはく 傭人の期にひとしく一年のうちにケダルのすべての榮華はつきはてん
17 And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
そののこれる弓士のかずとケダルの子孫のますらをとは少なかるべし 此はイスラエルの神ヱホバのかたり給へるなり
