< イザヤ書 23 >
1 ツロに係るおもにの預言 いはく/タルシシのもろもろの舟よなきさけべ ツロは荒廢れて屋なく入べきところなければなり かれら此事をキツテムの地にて告しらせらる
The oracle on Tyre, —Howl! ye ships of Tarshish, For it is laid too waste to be a haven to enter, From the land of Cyprus, hath it been unveiled to them.
2 うみべの民よもだせ 曩には海をゆきかふシドンの商賣くさぐさの物をかしこに充せたり
Be dumb, ye inhabitants of the Coast, —Whom the merchants of Zidon, passing over the sea, once replenished;
3 ツロは大なる水をわたりくるシホルの種物とナイルがはの穀物とによりて収納をえたり ツロはもろもろの國のつどふ市なりき
Yea on mighty waters, was the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the Nile, was her increase, —And so she became a mart of nations.
4 シドンよはづべし そは海すなはち海城かくいへり曰く われ苦しまずうまず壯男をやしなはず處女をそだてざりきと
Turn thou pale, O Zidon, For spoken hath the sea, the fortress of the sea saying, —I have neither been in pangs nor given birth I have neither brought up young men nor promoted virgins.
5 この音信のエジプトにいたるとき彼等ツロのおとづれによりて甚くうれふべし
Like the report of Egypt, They shall be in pangs at the like report of Tyre.
6 なんぢらタルシシにわたれ 海邊のたみよ汝等なきさけぶべし
Pass ye over to Tarshish, —Howl ye inhabitants of the Coast:
7 これは上れる世いにしへよりありし邑おのが足にてうつり遠くたびずまひせる邑なんぢらの樂しみの邑なりしや
Is this to you an exultation? Though from ancient days, is her antiquity, Yet shall her own feet carry her away, far off to dwell.
8 斯のごとくツロに對ひてはかりしは誰なるか ツロは冕をさづけし邑 その中のあきうどは君 その中の貿易するものは地のたふとき者なりき
Who hath purposed this, against Tyre, The bestower of crowns, —Whose merchants are princes, Her traders the honourable of the earth?
9 これ萬軍のヱホバの定め給ふところにして すべて華美にかざれる驕奢をけがし地のもろもろの貴者をひくくしたまはんが爲なり
Yahweh of hosts, hath purposed it, —To humble the pride of all beauty, To make of little esteem all the honourable of the earth.
10 タルシシの女よナイルのごとく己が地にあふれよ なんぢを結びかたむる帶ふたたびなかるべし
Pass through thy land as the Nile, —O daughter of Tarshish, there is no restraint any longer!
11 ヱホバその手を海の上にのべて國々をふるひうごかし給へり ヱホバ、カナンにつきて詔命をいだしその保砦をこぼたしめたまふ
His hand, hath he stretched out over the sea, He hath shaken kingdoms, —Yahweh, hath given command against the Phoenician coast, To destroy her fortresses.
12 彼いひたまはく虐げられたる處女シドンのむすめよ 汝ふたたびよろこぶことなかるべし 起てキツテムにわたれ彼處にてなんぢまた安息をえじ
Therefore hath he said, —No more, again, do thou exult, Thou violated virgin daughter of Zidon, —To Cyprus, arise and pass over, Even there, shall one find thee no rest.
13 カルデヤ人のくにを視よ この民はふたたびあることなし アツスリヤ人この國を野のけものの居所にさだめたり かれら櫓をたてもろもろの殿をこぼちて荒墟となせり
Lo! the land of the Chaldeans, This is the people that was not, Assyria, founded it for the inhabitants of the desert, —They set up its siege-towers, They demolished its palaces Made it a ruin!
14 タルシシのもろもろの舟よなきさけべ なんぢの保砦はくだかれたり
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, —For laid waste is your fortress.
15 その日ツロは七十年のあひだ忘れらるべし ひとりの王のながらふる日のかずなり七十年終りてのちツロは妓女のうたの如くならん
So shall it be in that day, That Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, According to the days of a certain king: At the end of seventy years, shall it befall Tyre according to the song of the harlot:
16 さきに忘れられたるうかれめよ琴をとりて城市をへめぐり 巧に弾じておほくの歌をうたひ人にふたたび記念らるべし
Take thou a lyre, Go round the city, O harlot forgotten, —Sweetly touch the strings Lengthen out the song, That thou mayest be called to mind.
17 七十年をはりてヱホバまたツロを顧みたまはん ツロはふたたびその利潤をえて地のおもてにあるもろもろの國と淫をおこなふべし
So shall it be, at the end of seventy years, That Yahweh will visit Tyre, And she will return to her hire, —Yea she will play the harlot—with all the kingdoms of the earth, upon the face of the ground.
18 その貿易とその獲たる利潤とはきよめてヱホバに獻ぐべければ之をたくはへず積ことをせざるなり その貿易はヱホバの前にをるものの用となり飽くらふ料となり華美なるころもの料とならん
But her merchandise and her hire, shall be hallowed unto Yahweh, It shall not be stored up, nor hoarded, —For, to them who dwell before Yahweh, shall her merchandise belong, That they may eat to satisfaction And have stately apparel.
