< 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 Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed 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 silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they filled thee.
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
And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is 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
Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up 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
As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the 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 over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
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 your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn.
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 counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of 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
Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of 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 a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.
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 He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath caused kingdoms to tremble, Jehovah hath charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
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
And He saith, 'Thou dost not add any more to exult, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there — there is no rest for thee.'
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 people was not, Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers, They lifted up her palaces, — He hath appointed her for 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 your strength hath been destroyed.
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
And it hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as 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 a harp, go round the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered.
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
And it hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years Jehovah inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift, That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on 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
And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to Jehovah, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting before Jehovah is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!
