ハバクク書 2
1 我わが觀望所に立ち戍樓に身を置ん 而して我候ひ望みて其われに何と宣まふかを見 わが訴言に我みづから何と答ふべきかを見ん
I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the watchtower, and I will watch carefully to see what he will say to me and how I should turn from my complaint.
2 ヱホバわれに答へて言たまはく 此黙示を書しるして之を板の上に明白に鐫つけ奔りながらも之を讀むべからしめよ
Yahweh answered me and said, “Record this vision, and write plainly on the tablets so that the one reading them might run.
3 この黙示はなほ定まれる時を俟てその終を急ぐなり 僞ならず 若し遲くあらば待べし 必ず臨むべし 濡滯りはせじ
For the vision is yet for a future time and will finally speak and not fail. Though it delays, wait for it. For it will surely come and will not tarry.
4 視よ彼の心は高ぶりその中にありて直からず 然ど義き者はその信仰によりて活べし
Look! The one whose desires are not right within him is puffed up. But the righteous will live by his faith.
5 かの酒に耽る者は邪曲なる者なり 驕傲者にして安んぜず彼はその情慾を陰府のごとくに濶くす また彼は死のごとし 又足ことを知ず 萬國を集へて己に歸せしめ萬民を聚めて己に就しむ (Sheol h7585)
For wine is a betrayer of the arrogant young man so that he will not abide, but enlarges his desire like the grave and, like death, is never satisfied. He gathers to himself every nation and gathers up for himself all of the peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 其等の民みな諺語をもて彼を評し嘲弄の詩歌をもて彼を諷せざらんや 即ち言ん己に屬せざる物を積累ぬる者は禍なるかな 斯て何の時にまでおよばんや 嗟かの質物の重荷を身に負ふ者よ
Will not all these create a saying to ridicule him and a taunting song about him, saying, 'Woe to the one increasing what is not his! For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?'
7 汝を噬む者にはかに興らざらんや 汝を惱ます者醒出ざらんや 汝は之に掠めらるべし
Will the ones biting at you not rise up suddenly, and the ones terrifying you awaken? You will become a victim for them.
8 汝衆多の國民を掠めしに因てその諸の民の遺れる者なんぢを掠めん 是人の血を流ししに因る また強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼせしに因るなり
Because you have plundered many peoples, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you. For you have shed human blood and acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
9 災禍の手を免れんが爲に高き處に巣を構へんとして己の家に不義の利を取る者は禍なるかな
'Woe to the one who carves out evil gains for his house, so he can set his nest on high to keep himself safe from the hand of evil.'
10 汝は事を圖りて己の家に恥辱を來らせ衆多の民を滅して自ら罪を取れり
You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against yourself.
11 石垣の石叫び建物の梁これに應へん
For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters of timber will answer them,
12 血をもて邑を建て惡をもて城を築く者は禍なるかな
'Woe to the one who builds a city with blood, and who establishes a town in iniquity.'
13 諸の民は火のために勞し諸の國人は虚空事のために疲る 是は萬軍のヱホバより出る者ならずや
Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?
14 ヱホバの榮光を認むるの知識地上に充て宛然海を水の掩ふが如くならん
Yet the land will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea.
15 人に酒を飮せ己の忿怒を酌和へて之を酔せ而して之が陰所を見んとする者は禍なるかな
'Woe to the one who forces his neighbors to drink— you express your anger over and you make them drunk in order to look at their nakedness.'
16 汝は榮譽に飽ずして羞辱に飽り 汝もまた飮て汝の不割禮を露はせ ヱホバの右の手の杯汝に巡り來るべし 汝は汚なき物を吐て榮耀を掩はん
You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink, and you will expose your uncircumcised foreskin! The cup in Yahweh's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 汝がレバノンに爲たる強暴と獣を懼れしめしその殲滅とは汝の上に報いきたるべし 是人の血を流ししに因りまた強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼししに因るなり
The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you and the destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed human blood and you have acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
18 雕像はその作者これを刻みたりとて何の益あらんや 又鑄像および僞師は語はぬ偶像なればその像の作者これを作りて頼むとも何の益あらんや
What does the carved figure profit you? For the one who has carved it, or who casts a figure from molten metal, is a teacher of lies; for he trusts his own handiwork when he makes these mute gods.
19 木にむかひて興ませと言ひ 語はぬ石にむかひて起たまへと言ふ者は禍なるかな 是あに教晦を爲んや 視よ是は金銀に着せたる者にてその中には全く氣息なし
'Woe to the one saying to the wood, Wake up! Or to the silent stone, Arise!' Do these things teach? See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
20 然りといへどもヱホバはその聖殿に在ますぞかし 全地その御前に黙すべし
But Yahweh is in his holy temple! Be silent before him, all the land.”
