Zephaniah 3
1 Woe [to] the rebellious and polluted, The oppressing city!
此暴虐を行ふ悖りかつ汚れたる邑は禍なるかな
2 She hath not hearkened to the voice, She hath not accepted instruction, In Jehovah she hath not trusted, Unto her God she hath not drawn near.
是は聲を聽いれず敎晦を承ずヱホバに依賴まずおのれの神に近よらず
3 Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
その中にをる牧伯等は吼る獅子の如くその審士は明旦までに何をも遺さざる 夜求食する狼のごとし
4 Her prophets unstable — men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law.
その預言者は傲りかつ詐る人なり その祭司は聖物を汚し律法を破ることをなせり
5 Jehovah [is] righteous in her midst, He doth not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment he giveth to the light, It hath not been lacking, And the perverse doth not know shame.
その中にいますヱホバは義くして不義を行なひたまはず朝な朝な己の公義を顯して缺ることなし 然るに不義なる者は恥を知ず
6 I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
我國々の民を滅したればその櫓は凡て荒たり 我これが街を荒凉れしめたれば往來する者なし その邑々は滅びて人なく住む者なきに至れり
7 I have said: Only, ye do fear Me, Ye do accept instruction, And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all their doings.
われ前に言り 汝ただ我を畏れまた警敎を受べし 然らばその住家は我が凡て之につきて定めたる所の如くに滅されざるべしと 然るに彼等は夙に起て己の一切の行状を壞れり
8 Therefore, wait for Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, For the day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them Mine indignation, All the heat of Mine anger, For by the fire of My jealousy consumed is all the earth.
ヱホバ曰たまふ 是ゆゑに汝らわが起て獲物をする日いたるまで我を俟て 我もろもろの民を集へ諸の國を聚めてわが憤恨とわが烈き忿怒を盡くその上にそそがんと思ひ定む 全地はわが嫉妬の火に燒ほろぼさるべし
9 For then do I turn unto peoples a pure lip, To call all of them by the name of Jehovah, To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
その時われ國々の民に清き唇をあたへ彼らをして凡てヱホバの名を呼しめ心をあはせて之につかへしめん
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present.
わが散せし者等の女即ち我を拜む者エテオピアの河々の彼旁よりもきたりて我に禮ものをささぐべし
11 In that day thou art not ashamed because of any of thine actions, Wherewith thou hast transgressed against Me, For then do I turn aside from thy midst The exulting ones of thine excellency, And thou dost add no more to be haughty, In My holy mountain.
その日には汝われに對てをかしきたりし諸の行爲をもて羞を得ことなかるべし その時には我なんぢの中より高ぶり樂む者等を除けば汝かさねてわが聖山にて傲り高ぶることなければなり
12 And I have left in thy midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the name of Jehovah.
われ柔和にして貧き民をなんぢの中にのこさん 彼らはヱホバの名に依賴むべし
13 The remnant of Israel do no perversity, nor speak lies, Nor found in their mouth is a deceitful tongue, For they have delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling.
イスラエルの遺れる者は惡を行はず 謊をいはず その口のうちには詐僞の舌なし 彼らは草食ひ臥やすまん 之を懼れしむる者なかるべし
14 Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
シオンの女よ歡喜の聲を擧よ イスラエルよ樂み呼はれ エルサレムの女よ心のかぎり喜び樂め
15 Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, [is] in thy midst, Thou seest evil no more.
ヱホバすでに汝の鞫を止め汝の敵を逐はらひたまへり イスラエルの王ヱホバ汝の中にいます 汝はかさねて災禍にあふことあらじ
16 In that day it is said to Jerusalem, 'Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble.
その日にはエルサレムに向ひて言あらん 懼るるなかれ シオンよ 汝の手をしなえ垂るるなかれと
17 Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'
なんぢの神ヱホバなんぢの中にいます 彼は拯救を施す勇士なり 彼なんぢのために喜び樂み愛の餘りに默し汝のために喜びて呼はりたまふ
18 Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered, from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake reproach.
われ節會のことにつきて憂ふるものを集めん 彼等は汝より出し者なり 恥辱かれらに蒙むること重負のごとし
19 Lo, I am dealing with all afflicting thee at that time, And I have saved the halting one, And the driven out ones I do gather, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all the land of their shame.
視よその時われ汝を虐遇る者を盡く處置し足蹇たるものを救ひ逐はなたれたる者を集め彼らをして其羞辱を蒙りし一切の國にて稱譽を得させ名を得さすべし
20 At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah!
その時われ汝らを携へその時われ汝らを集むべし 我なんぢらの目の前において汝らの俘囚をかへし汝らをして地上の萬國に名を得させ稱譽を得さすべし ヱホバこれを言ふ
