イザヤ書 21
1 うみべの荒野にかかる重負のよげん いはく／荒野よりおそるべき地より南のかたの暴風のふきすぐるが如くきたれり
The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
2 われ苛き默示をしめされたり 欺騙者はあざむき荒すものはあらすべし エラムよ上れメデアよかこめ 我すでにすべての歎息をやめしめたり
A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
3 この故にわが腰は甚だしくいたみ 產にのぞめる婦人の如き苦しみ我にせまれり われ悶へ苦しみて聞ことあたはず我をののきて見ことあたはず
Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
4 わが心みだれまどひて慴き怖ること甚だし わが樂しめる夕はかはりて懼れとなりぬ
Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
5 彼らは席をまうけ筵をしきてくひのみす もろもろの君よたちて盾にあぶらぬれ
Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
6 ヱホバかく我にいひ給へり 汝ゆきて斥候をおきその見るところを告しめよ
For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
7 かれ馬にのりて二列にならび來るものを見 また驢馬にのりたると駱駝にのりたるとをみば 耳をかたぶけて詳細にきくことをせしめよと
And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
8 かれ獅の如く呼はりて曰けるは わが主よわれ終日やぐらに立よもすがら斥候の地にたつ
And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
9 馬にのりて二列にならびたる者きたれり 彼こたへていはくバビロンは倒れたり 倒れたりそのもろもろの神の像はくだけて地にふしたり
And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
10 蹂躙らるるわが民よわが打場のたなつものよ 我イスラエルの神萬軍のヱホバに聞るところのものを汝につげたり
O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
11 ドマに係るおもにの預言 いはく／人ありセイルより我をよびていふ 斥候よ夜はなにのときぞ 斥候よ夜はなにの時ぞ
The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
12 ものみ答へていふ 朝きたり夜またきたる 汝もしとはんとおもはば問 なんぢら歸りきたるべし
The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
13 アラビヤにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／デダンの客商よなんぢらはアラビヤの林にやどらん
The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
14 テマの地のたみよ水をたづさへて渇ける者をむかへ 糧をもて逃遁れたるものを迎へよ
O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
15 かれらは刃をさけ 旣にぬきたる劍すでに張たる弓およびたたかひの艱難をさけて逃きたれり
For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
16 そは主われにいひたまはく 傭人の期にひとしく一年のうちにケダルのすべての榮華はつきはてん
For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
17 そののこれる弓士のかずとケダルの子孫のますらをとは少なかるべし 此はイスラエルの神ヱホバのかたり給へるなり
And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
