イザヤ書 16
1 なんぢら荒野のセラより羔羊をシオンの女の山におくりて國の首にをさむべし
Send yee a lambe to the ruler of the worlde from the rocke of the wildernesse, vnto the mountaine of the daughter Zion.
2 モアブの女輩はアルノンの津にありてさまよふ鳥のごとく巣をおはれたる雛のごとくなるべし
For it shall be as a birde that flieth, and a nest forsaken: the daughters of Moab shall be at the foordes of Arnon.
3 相謀りて審判をおこなひ 亭午にもなんぢの蔭を夜のごとくならしめ 驅逐人をかくし 遁れきたるものを顯はすなかれ
Gather a cousel, execute iudgement: make thy shadowe as the night in the midday: hide them that are chased out: bewray not him that is fled.
4 わが驅逐人をなんぢとともに居しめ 汝モアブの避所となりて之をそこなふ者のまへより脱れしめよ 勒索者はうせ害ふものはたえ暴虐者は地より絶れん
Let my banished dwell with thee: Moab be thou their couert from the face of the destroyer: for the extortioner shall ende: the destroyer shalbe consumed, and the oppressour shall cease out of the land.
5 ひとつの位あはれみをもて堅くたち眞實をおこなふ者そのうへに坐せん 彼ダビデの幕屋にをりて審判をなし公平をもとめて義をおこなふに速し
And in mercy shall the throne be prepared, and hee shall sit vpon it in stedfastnesse, in the tabernacle of Dauid, iudging, and seeking iudgement, and hasting iustice.
6 われらモアブの傲慢をきけり その高ぶること甚だし われらその誇とたかぶりと忿恚とをきけり その大言はむなし
We haue heard of the pride of Moab, (he is very proud) euen his pride, and his arrogancie, and his indignation, but his lies shall not be so.
7 この故にモアブはモアブの爲になきさけび民みな哭さけぶべし なんぢら必らず甚だしく心をいためてキルハレステの乾葡萄のためになげくべし
Therefore shall Moab howle vnto Moab: euery one shall howle: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourne, yet they shalbe striken.
8 そはヘシボンの畑とシブマのぶだうの樹とは凋みおとろへたり その枝さきにはヤゼルにまでいたりて荒野にはびこりのびて海をわたりしが 國々のもろもろの主その美はしき枝ををりたり
For ye vineyards of Heshbon are cut downe, and the vine of Sibmah: the lordes of the heathen haue broken the principal vines thereof: they are come vnto Iaazer: they wandred in the wildernesse: her goodly branches stretched out them selues, and went ouer the sea.
9 この故にわれヤゼルの哭とひとしくシブマの葡萄の樹のためになかん ヘシボンよエレアレよわが涙なんぢをひたさん そは鬨聲なんぢが果物なんぢが收穫の實のうへにおちきたればなり
Therefore will I weepe with the weeping of Iaazer, and of the vine of Sibmah, O Heshbon: and Elealeh, I will make thee drunke with my teares, because vpon thy sommer fruits, and vpon thy haruest a showting is fallen.
10 欣喜とたのしみとは土肥たる畑より取さられ 葡萄園には謳ふことなく歡呼ばふことなく酒榨にはふみて酒をしぼるものなし 我そのよろこびたつる聲をやめしめたり
And gladnes is taken away, and ioy out of the plentifull fielde: and in the vineyardes shall be no singing nor shouting for ioy: the treader shall not tread wine in the wine presses: I haue caused the reioycing to cease.
11 このゆゑにわが心腸はモアブの故をもて琴のごとく鳴ひびき キルハレスの故をもてわが衷もまた然り
Wherefore, my bowels shall sounde like an harpe for Moab, and mine inwarde partes for Ker-haresh.
12 モアブは高處にいでて倦つかれその聖所にきたりて祈るべけれど驗あらじ
And when it shall appeare that Moab shall be wearie of his hie places, then shall hee come to his temple to praie, but he shall not preuaile.
13 こはヱホバが曩にモアブに就てかたりたまへる聖言なり
This is the word that the Lord hath spoken against Moab since that time.
14 されど今ヱホバかたりて言たまはくモアブの榮はその大なる群衆とともに傭人の期にひとしく 三年のうちに恥かしめをうけ 遺れる者はなはだ少なくして力なからん
And nowe the Lord hath spoken, saying, In three yeres, as the yeeres of a hireling, and the glorie of Moab shall be contemned in all the great multitude, and the remnant shalbe very small and feeble.
