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 a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, To the mountain of the daughter of 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
And it has come to pass, As a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords 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
Bring in counsel, do judgment, Make your shadow as night in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, do not reveal the wanderer.
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
My outcasts sojourn in you, O Moab, Be a secret hiding place for them, From the face of a destroyer, For the extortioner has ceased, Devastation has been finished, The tramplers are consumed 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 the throne is established in kindness, And [One] has sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hastening righteousness.
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 have heard of the pride of Moab—very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath—his boastings [are] not right.
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 Moab howls for Moab, all of it howls, It meditates for the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth, They are surely struck.
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
Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations beat her choice vines, They have come to Jazer, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a 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 I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water you [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For—for your summer fruits, and for your harvest, The shouting has 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 gladness and joy have been removed from the fruitful field, And they do not sing in vineyards, nor shout, The treader does not tread wine in the presses, I have caused shouting 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
Therefore my bowels sound as a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-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 it has come to pass, when it has been seen, That Moab has been weary on the high place, And he has come to his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
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 YHWH has spoken to Moab from 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 now YHWH has spoken, saying, “In three years, as years of a hired worker, The glory of Moab is lightly esteemed, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!”
