イザヤ書 17
1 ダマスコにかかはる重負の預言 いはく／視よダマスコは邑のすがたをうしなひて荒墟となるべし
The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it hath been a heap — a ruin.
2 アロエルの諸邑はすてられん獸畜のむれそこにすみてその伏やすめるをおびやかす者もなからん
Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
3 エフライムの城はすたりダマスコの政治はやみ スリアの遺れる者はイスラエルの子輩のさかえのごとく消うせん 是は萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
4 その日ヤコブの榮はおとろへその肥たる肉はやせて
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.
5 あだかも收穫人の麥をかりあつめ腕をもて穂をかりたる後のごとくレパイムの谷に穂をひろひたるあとの如くならん
And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,
6 されど橄欖樹をうつとき二つ三の核を杪にのこし あるひは四つ五をみのりおほき樹の外面のえだに遺せるが如く採のこさるるものあるべし 是イスラエルの神ヱホバの聖言なり
And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two — three berries on the top of a branch, Four — five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel!
7 その日人おのれを造れるものを仰ぎのぞみイスラエルの聖者に目をとめん
In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
8 斯ておのれの手の工なる祭壇をあふぎ望まず おのれの指のつくりたるアシラの像と日の像とに目をとめじ
And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not — the shrines and the images.
9 その日かれが堅固なるまちまちは 昔イスラエルの子輩をさけてすてさりたる森のなか嶺のうへに今のこれる荒跡のごとく荒地となるべし
In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.
10 そは汝おのがすくひの神をわすれ 己がちからとなるべき磐を心にとめざりしによる このゆゑになんぢ美くしき植物をうゑ異やうの枝をさし
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,
11 かつ植たる日に籬をまはし朝に芽をいださしむれども 患難の日といたましき憂の日ときたりて收穫の果はとびさらん
In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.
12 唉おほくの民はなりどよめけり海のなりどよめく如くかれらも鳴動めけり もろもろの國はなりひびけり大水のなりひびくが如くかれらも鳴響けり
Woe [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted.
13 もろもろの國はおほくの水のなりひびくがごとく鳴響かん されど神かれらを攻たまふべし かれら遠くのがれて風にふきさらるる山のうへの粃糠のごとく また旋風にふきさらるる塵のごとくならん
Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.
14 視よゆふぐれに恐怖あり いまだ黎明にいたらずして彼等は亡たり これ我儕をかすむる者のうくべき報われらを奪ふもののひくべき鬮なり
At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
