Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. 'Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful 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 hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused 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 filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
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 Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a 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 Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, 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 said the Lord unto me: 'Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
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 hath seen a chariot — a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention — He hath increased attention!
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 crieth — a lion, 'On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed 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 lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: 'Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
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 son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have 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. Unto me is [one] calling from 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 hath said, 'Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, 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 on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers 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 To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
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 from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
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 said the Lord unto me: 'Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
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 remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'
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
