Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of Moab — It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was Kir of Moab — It hath been cut off.

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 He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places — to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads [is] baldness, every beard 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 its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth — going down with weeping.

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 And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.

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 [is] toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third [year], For — the ascent of Luhith — With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.

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 are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.

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 the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.

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 gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling.

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 have been full of blood, For I set on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the remnant of Adamah!

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
