イザヤ書 13
1 アモツの子イザヤが示されたるバビロンにかかる重負の預言
The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
2 なんぢらかぶろの山に旂をたて聲をあげ手をふり彼等をまねきて貴族の門にいらしめよ
Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
3 われ旣にきよめ別ちたるものに命じ わが丈夫ほこりかにいさめる者をよびて わが怒をもらさしむ
I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
4 山におほくの人の聲きこゆ大なる民あるがごとし もろもろの國民のよりつどひて喧めく聲きこゆ これ萬軍のヱホバたたかひの軍兵を召したまふなり
The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
5 かれらはとほき國より天の極よりきたる これヱホバとその忿恚をもらす器とともに全國をほろぼさんとて來るなり
They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
6 なんぢら泣號ぶべしヱホバの日ちかづき全能者よりいづる敗亡きたるべければなり
Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
7 この故にすべての手はたれ凡の人のこころは消ゆかん
Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
8 かれら慴きおそれ艱難と憂とにせまられ 子をうまんとする婦のごとく苦しみ互におどろき 相みあひてその面は燄のごとくならん
And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
9 視よヱホバの日苛くして忿恚とはげしき怒とをもて來り この國をあらしその中よりつみびとを絶滅さん
Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
10 天のもろもろの星とほしの宿は光をはなたず 日はいでてくらく月は その光をかがやかさざるべし
For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
11 われ惡ことのために世をつみし 不義のために惡きものをばつし 驕れるものの誇をとどめ 暴ぶるものの傲慢をひくくせん
And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
12 われ人をして精金よりもすくなくオフルの黄金よりも少なからしめん
I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
13 かくて亦われ萬軍のヱホバの忿恚のとき烈しき怒りの日に天をふるはせ地をうごかしてその處をうしなはしむべし
Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 かれらは逐るる鹿のごとく集むるものなき羊のごとくなりて各自おのれの民にかへりおのれの國にのがれゆかん
And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
15 すべて其處にあるもの見出さるれば 刺れ 拘留らるるものは劍にたふされ
Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
16 彼等の嬰兒はその目前にてなげくだかれ その家財はかすめうばはれ その妻はけがさるべし
Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
17 視よわれ白銀をもかへりみず黄金をもよろこばざるメデア人をおこして之にむかはしめん
Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
18 かれらは弓をもて若きものを射くだき腹の實をあはれむことなく小子をみてをしむことなし
With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
19 すべての國の中にてうるはしくカルデヤ人がほこり飾となせるバビロンはむかし神にほろぼされたるソドム、ゴモラのごとくならん
And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
20 ここに住むもの永くたえ世々にいたるまで居ものなく アラビヤ人もかしこに幕屋をはらず牧人もまたかしこにはその群をふさすることなく
It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
21 ただ猛獸かしこにふし 吼るものその家にみち 鴕鳥かしこにすみ 牡山羊かしこに躍らん
But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
22 豺狼その城のなかになき野犬えいぐわの宮にさけばん その時のいたるは近きにあり その日は延ることなかるべし
And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
