Habakkuk 2
1 On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof.
我わが觀望所に立ち戍樓に身を置ん 而して我候ひ望みて其われに何と宣まふかを見 わが訴言に我みづから何と答ふべきかを見ん
2 And Jehovah answereth me and saith: 'Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.
ヱホバわれに答へて言たまはく 此默示を書しるして之を板の上に明白に鐫つけ奔りながらも之を讀むべからしめよ
3 For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.
この默示はなほ定まれる時を俟てその終を急ぐなり 僞ならず 若し遲くあらば待べし 必ず臨むべし 濡滯りはせじ
4 Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
視よ彼の心は高ぶりその中にありて直からず 然ど義き者はその信仰によりて活べし
5 And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples, (Sheol h7585)
かの酒に耽る者は邪曲なる者なり 驕傲者にして安んぜず彼はその情慾を陰府のごとくに濶くす また彼は死のごとし 又足ことを知ず 萬國を集へて己に歸せしめ萬民を聚めて己に就しむ (Sheol h7585)
6 Do not these — all of them — against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
其等の民みな諺語をもて彼を評し嘲弄の詩歌をもて彼を諷せざらんや 即ち言ん己に屬せざる物を積累ぬる者は禍なるかな 斯て何の時にまでおよばんや 嗟かの質物の重荷を身に負ふ者よ
7 Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?
汝を噬む者にはかに興らざらんや 汝を惱ます者醒出ざらんや 汝は之に掠めらるべし
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
汝衆多の國民を掠めしに因てその諸の民の遺れる者なんぢを掠めん 是人の血を流ししに因る また強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼせしに因るなり
9 Woe [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil,
災禍の手を免れんが爲に高き處に巣を構へんとして己の家に不義の利を取る者は禍なるかな
10 Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul.
汝は事を圖りて己の家に恥辱を來らせ衆多の民を滅して自ら罪を取れり
11 For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.
石垣の石叫び建物の梁これに應へん
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
血をもて邑を建て惡をもて城を築く者は禍なるかな
13 Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
諸の民は火のために勞し諸の國人は虚空事のために疲る 是は萬軍のヱホバより出る者ならずや
14 For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.
ヱホバの榮光を認むるの知識地上に充て宛然海を水の掩ふが如くならん
15 Woe [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.
人に酒を飮せ己の忿怒を酌和へて之を酔せ而して之が陰所を見んとする者は禍なるかな
16 Thou hast been filled — shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour.
汝は榮譽に飽ずして羞辱に飽り 汝もまた飮て汝の不割禮を露はせ ヱホバの右の手の杯汝に巡り來るべし 汝は汚なき物を吐て榮耀を掩はん
17 For violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
汝がレバノンに爲たる強暴と獣を懼れしめしその殲滅とは汝の上に報いきたるべし 是人の血を流ししに因りまた強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼししに因るなり
18 What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation — to make dumb idols?
雕像はその作者これを刻みたりとて何の益あらんや 又鑄像および僞師は語はぬ偶像なればその像の作者これを作りて賴むとも何の益あらんや
19 Woe [to] him who is saying to wood, 'Awake,' 'Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid — gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
木にむかひて興ませと言ひ 語はぬ石にむかひて起たまへと言ふ者は禍なるかな 是あに敎晦を爲んや 視よ是は金銀に着せたる者にてその中には全く氣息なし
20 And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!
然りといへどもヱホバはその聖殿に在ますぞかし 全地その御前に默すべし
