Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab. For in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

モアブにかかる重負のよげん曰く モアブのアルは一夜の間にあらされて亡びうせモアブのキルは一夜のまに荒されてほろびうせん

2 They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

かれバイテおよびデボンの高所にのぼりて哭きモアブはネボ及びメデバの上にてなげきさけぶおのおのその頭を禿にしその鬚をことごとく剃たり

3 In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

かれら麁服をきてその衢にあり屋蓋または廣きところにて皆なきさけび悲しむこと甚だし

4 Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

ヘシボンとエレアレと叫びてその聲ヤハズにまで聞ゆこの故にモアブの軍兵こゑをあげその靈魂うちに在てをののけり

5 My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.

わが心モアブのために叫びよばはれりその貴族はゾアルおよびヱグラテシリシヤにのがれ哭つつルヒテの坂をのぼりホロナイムの途にて敗亡の聲をあぐ

6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

ニムリムの水はかわき草はかれ苗はつきて緑蔬あらず

7 Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows.

このゆゑに彼等はその獲たる富とその藏めたる物をたづさへて柳の河をわたらん

8 For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim.

その泣號のこゑはモアブの境をめぐり悲歎のこゑはエグライムにいたりなげきの聲はべエルエリムにいたる

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.

デモンの水は血にて充われデモンの上にひとしほ禍害をくはへモアブの遁れたる者とこの地の遺りたるものとに獅をおくらん
