< エレミヤ書 48 >
1 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神モアブの事につきてかくいひたまふ嗚呼ネボは禍なるかな是滅されたりキリヤタイムは辱められて取られミスガブは辱められて毀たる
Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste: Kiriathaim is confounded [and] taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
2 モアブの榮譽は失さりぬヘシボンにて人衆モアブの害を謀り去來之を絕ちて國をなさざらしめんといふマデメンよ汝は滅されん劍汝を追はん
[There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 ホロナイムより號咷の聲きこゆ毀敗と大なる滅亡あり
A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, devastation and great destruction.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 彼らは哭き哭きてルヒテの坂を登る敵はホロナイムの下り路にて滅亡の號咷をきけり
For in the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 逃て汝らの生命を救へ曠野に棄られたる者の如くなれ
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 汝は汝の工作と財寶を賴むによりて汝も執へられん又ケモシは其祭司およびその牧伯等と偕に擄へうつさるべし
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.
8 殘害者諸の邑に來らん一の邑も免れざるべし谷は滅され平地は荒されんヱホバのいひたまひしがごとし
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
9 翼をモアブに予へて飛さらしむ其諸邑は荒て住者なからん
Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away: for its cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them.
10 ヱホバの事を行ふて怠る者は詛はれ又その劍をおさへて血を流さざる者は詛はる
Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 モアブはその幼時より安然にして酒の其滓のうへにとざまりて此器よりかの器に斟うつされざるが如くなりき彼擄うつされざりしに由て其味尚存ちその香氣變らざるなり
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 ヱホバいひたまふ此故にわがこれを傾くる者を遣はす日來らん彼らすなはち之を傾け其器をあけ其罇を碎くべし
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send to him wanderers that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 モアブはケモシのために羞をとらん是イスラエルの家がその恃めるところのベテルのために羞をとりしが如くなるべし
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
15 モアブはほろぼされその諸邑は騰りその選擇の壯者は下りて殺さる萬軍のヱホバと名る王これをいひ給ふ
Moab is laid waste, and gone up [out of] her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the king, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts.
The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 凡そ其四周にある者よ彼のために歎けその名を知る者よ強き竿美しき杖いかにして折しやといへ
All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod!
18 デボンに住る女よ榮をはなれて下り燥ける地に坐せよモアブを敗る者汝にきたりて汝の城を滅さん
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19 アロエルに住る婦よ道の側にたちて闥ひ逃きたる者と脱れいたる者に事いかんと問へ
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done?
20 モアブは敗られて羞をとる汝ら呼はり咷びモアブは滅されたりとアルノンに告よ
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
24 ケリオテ、ボズラ、モアブの地の諸邑の遠き者にも近き者にも臨めり
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 モアブの角は碎け其臂は折たりとヱホバいひたまふ
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
26 汝らモアブを醉はしめよ彼ヱホバにむかひて驕傲ればなりモアブは其吐たる物に轉びて笑柄とならん
Make ye him drunken; for he magnified [himself] against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 イスラエルは汝の笑柄にあらざりしや彼盜人の中にありしや汝彼の事を語るごとに首を搖たり
For was not Israel a derision to thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou hast spoken of him, thou hast leaped for joy.
28 モアブに住る者よ汝ら邑を離れて磐の間にすめ穴の口の側に巢を作る斑鳩の如くせよ
O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 われらモアブの驕傲をきけり其驕傲は甚だし即ち其驕慢矜高驕誇およびその心の自ら高くするを聞り
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 ヱホバいひたまふ我モアブの驕傲とその言の虛きとを知る彼らは僞を行ふなり
I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
31 この故に我モアブの爲に咷びモアブの全地の爲に呼はるキルハレスの人々の爲に嗟歎あり
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [my heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 シブマの葡萄の樹よわれヤゼルの哭泣にこえて汝の爲になげくべし汝の蔓は海を踰え延てヤゼルの海にまでいたる掠奪者來りて汝の果と葡萄をとらん
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants have gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler hath fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 欣喜と歡樂園とモアブの地をはなれ去る我酒醡に酒無からしめん呼はりて葡萄を踐もの無るべし其喚呼は葡萄をふむ喚呼にあらざらん
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the wine-presses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.
34 ヘシボンよりエレアレとヤハヅにいたりゾアルよりホロナイムとエグラテシリシヤにいたるまで人聲を揚ぐそはニムリムの水までも絕たればなり
From the cry of Heshbon [even] to Elealeh, [and even] to Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] to Horonaim, [as] a heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 ヱホバいひたまふ我祭物を崇邱に献げ香をその諸神に焚くところの者をモアブの中に滅さんと
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 この故に我心はモアブの爲に簫のごとく歎き我心はキルハレスの人衆のために蕭のごとく歎く是其獲たるところの財うせたればなり
Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches [that] he hath gotten have perished.
37 人みなその髮を剃り皆その鬚をそり皆その手に傷け腰に麻布をまとはん
For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 モアブにては家蓋の上と街のうちに遍く悲哀ありそはわれ心に適ざる器のごとくにモアブを碎きたればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
[There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the house-tops of Moab, and in its streets: for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which [is] no pleasure, saith the LORD.
39 嗚呼モアブはほろびたり彼らは咷ぶ嗚呼モアブは羞て面を背けたりモアブはその四周の者の笑柄となり恐懼となれり
They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よ敵鷲のごとくに飛來りて翼をモアブのうへに舒ん
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 ケリオテは取られ城はみな奪はるその日にはモアブの勇士の心子を產む婦のごとくになるべし
Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 モアブはヱホバにむかひて傲りしゆゑに滅ぼされて再び國を成ざるべし
And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD.
43 ヱホバいひたまふモアブにすめる者よ恐怖と陷阱と罟汝に臨めり
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
44 恐怖をさけて逃るものは陷阱におちいり陷阱より出るものは罟にとらへられん其はわれモアブにその罰をうくべき年をのぞましむればなりヱホバこれをいふ
He that fleeth from the fear, shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
45 遁逃者は力なくしてヘシボンの蔭に立つ是は火ヘシボンより出で火焔シホンのうちより出てモアブの地および喧閙をなす者の首の頂を燒ばなり
They that fled stood under the shade of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 嗚呼禍なるかなモアブよケモシの民は亡びたり即ち汝の諸子は擄へうつされ汝の女等は執へゆかれたり
Woe be to thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 然ど末の日に我モアブの擄移されたる者を返さんとヱホバいひ給ふ此まではモアブの鞫をいへる言なり
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab.
