イザヤ書 47
1 バビロンの處女よ くだりて塵のなかにすわれ カルデヤ人のむすめよ座にすわらずして地にすわれ 汝ふたたび婀娜にして嬌なりととなへらるることなからん
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For thou shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 礱をとりて粉をひけ 面帕をとりさり袿をぬぎ髓をあらはして河をわたれ
Take the millstones, and grind meal. Remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 なんぢの肌はあらはれなんぢの恥はみゆべし われ仇をむくいて人をかへりみず
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
4 われらを贖ひたまふ者はその名を萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者といふ
Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 カルデヤ人のむすめよ なんぢ口をつぐみてすわれ 又くらき所にいりてをれ 汝ふたたびもろもろの國の主母ととなへらるることなからん
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
6 われわが民をいきどほりわが產業をけがして之をなんぢの手にあたへたり 汝これに憐憫をほどこさず年老たるもののうへに甚だおもき軛をおきたり
I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand. Thou showed them no mercy. Upon the aged thou have laid thy yoke very heavily.
7 汝いへらく我とこしへに主母たらんと 斯てこれらのことを心にとめず亦その終をおもはざりき
And thou said, I shall be mistress forever, so that thou did not lay these things to thy heart, nor remembered the latter end of it.
8 なんぢ歡樂にふけり安らかにをり 心のうちにただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなく我はやもめとなりてをらず また子をうしなふことを知まじとおもへる者よなんぢ今きけ
Now therefore hear this, thou who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of sons.
9 子をうしなひ寡婦となるこの二つのこと一日のうちに俄になんぢに來らん汝おほく魔術をおこなひひろく呪詛をほどこすと雖もみちみちて汝にきたるべし
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day: the loss of sons, and widowhood. In their full measure they shall come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 汝おのれの惡によりたのみていふ 我をみるものなしと なんぢの智慧となんぢの聰明とはなんぢを惑せたり なんぢ心のうちにおもへらくただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなしと
For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
11 この故にわざはひ汝にきたらん なんぢ呪ひてこれを除くことをしらず 艱難なんぢに落きたらん 汝これをはらふこと能はず なんぢの思ひよらざる荒廢にはかに汝にきたるべし
Therefore evil shall come upon thee. Thou shall not know the dawning of it. And mischief shall fall upon thee. Thou shall not be able to put it away. And desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou know not.
12 今なんぢわかきときより勤めおこなひたる呪詛とおほくの魔術とをもて立むかふべしあるひは益をうることあらん あるひは敵をおそれしむることあらん
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou have labored from thy youth, if so be thou shall be able to profit, if so be thou may prevail.
13 なんぢは謀畧おほきによりて倦つかれたり かの天をうらなふもの星をみるもの新月をうらなふ者もし能はば いざたちて汝をきたらんとする事よりまぬかれしむることをせよ
Thou are wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
14 彼らは藁のごとくなりて火にやかれん おのれの身をほのほの勢力よりすくひいだすこと能はず その火は身をあたたむべき炭火にあらず又その前にすわるべき火にもあらず
Behold, they shall be as stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
15 汝がつとめて行ひたる事は終にかくのごとくならん 汝のわかきときより汝とうりかひしたる者おのおのその所にさすらひゆきて一人だになんぢを救ふものなかるべし
Thus shall be the things to thee, in which thou have labored. Those who have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander each one to his quarter. There shall be none to save thee.
