ヨブ 記 18

1 シユヒ人ビルダデこたへて曰く

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 汝等いつまで言語を獵求むることをするや 汝ら先曉るべし 然る後われら辨論はん

How long will you continue? forbear, that we also may speak.

3 われら何ぞ獸畜とおもはるべけんや 何ぞ汝らの目に汚穢たる者と見らるべけんや

For therefore have we been silent before you like brutes?

4 なんぢ怒りて身を裂く者よ 汝のためとて地あに棄られんや 磐あに其處より移されんや

Anger has possessed you: for what if you should die; would [the earth] under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations?

5 惡き者の光明は滅され 其火の焔は照じ

But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up.

6 その天幕の内なる光明は暗くなり其が上の燈火は滅さるべし

His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him.

7 またその強き歩履は狹まり 其計るところは自分を陷いる

Let the meanest of men spoil his goods, and let his counsel deceive [him].

8 すなはち其足に逐れて網に到り また陷阱の上を歩むに

His foot also has been caught in a snare, [and] let it be entangled in a net.

9 索はその踵に纒り 羂これを執ふ

And let snares come upon him: he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction.

10 索かれを執ふるために地に隱しあり 羂かれを陷しいるるために路に設けあり

His snare is hid in the earth, and that which shall take him is by the path.

11 怖ろしき事四方において彼を懼れしめ 其足にしたがひて彼をおふ

Let pains destroy him round about, and let many [enemies] come about him,

12 その力は餓ゑ 其傍には災禍そなはり

[vex him] with distressing hunger: and a signal destruction has been prepared for him.

13 その膚の肢は蝕壞らる 即ち死の初子これが肢を蝕壞るなり

Let the soles of his feet be devoured: and death shall consume his beauty.

14 やがて彼はその恃める天幕より曳離されて懼怖の王の許に驅やられん

And let health be utterly banished from his tabernacle, and let distress seize upon him with a charge from the king.

15 彼に屬せざる者かれの天幕に住み 硫礦かれの家の上に降ん

It shall dwell in his tabernacle in his night: his excellency shall be sown with brimstone.

16 下にてはその根枯れ 上にてはその枝砍る

His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above.

17 彼の跡は地に絶え 彼の名は街衢に傳はらじ

Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out.

18 彼は光明の中より黑暗に逐やられ 世の中より驅出されん

Let [one] drive him from light into darkness.

19 彼はその民の中に子も無く孫も有じ また彼の住所には一人も遺る者なからん

He shall not be known amongst his people, nor his house preserved on the earth.

20 之が日を見るにおいて後に來る者は駭ろき 先に出し者は怖おそれん

But strangers shall dwell in his possessions: the last groaned for him, and wonder seized the first.

21 かならず惡き人の住所は是のごとく 神を知ざる者の所は是のごとくなるべし

These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord.
