ヨエル書 2
1 汝らシオンにて喇叭を吹け 我聖山にて音たかく之を吹鳴せ 國の民みな慄ひわななかん そはヱホバの日きたらんとすればなり すでに近づけり
Blowe the trumpet in Zion, and shoute in mine holy mountaine: let all the inhabitants of the lande tremble: for the day of the Lord is come: for it is at hand.
2 この日は黒くをぐらき日雲むらがるまぐらき日にしてしののめの山々にたなびくが如し 數おほく勢さかんなる民むれいたらん かかる者はいにしへよりありしことなく後の代々の年にもあることなかるべし
A day of darkenesse, and of blacknesse, a day of cloudes, and obscuritie, as the morning spred vpon the mountaines, so is there a great people, and a mighty: there was none like it from the beginning, neither shalbe any more after it, vnto the yeeres of many generations.
3 火彼らの前を焚き火熖かれらの後にもゆ その過さる前は地エデンのごとくその過ぎしのちは荒はてたる野の如し 此をのがれうるもの一としてあることなし
A fire deuoureth before him, and behinde him a flame burneth vp: the land is as the garden of Eden before him, and behinde him a desolate wildernesse, so that nothing shall escape him.
4 彼らの状は馬のかたちのごとく其馳ありくことは軍馬のごとし
The beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall they runne.
5 その山の嶺にとびをどる音は車の轟聲がごとし また火の稗株をやくおとの如くしてその様強き民の行伍をたてて戰陣にのぞむに似たり
Like the noyse of charrets in the toppes of the mountaines shall they leape, like the noyse of a flame of fire that deuoureth the stubble, and as a mightie people prepared to the battel.
6 そのむかふところ諸民戰慄きその面みな色を失ふ
Before his face shall the people tremble: all faces shall gather blackenesse.
7 彼らは勇士の如くに趨あるき軍人のごとくに石垣に攀のぼる 彼ら各おのが道を進みゆきてその列を亂さず
They shall runne like strong men, and goe vp to the wall like men of warre, and euery man shall goe forward in his wayes, and they shall not stay in their paths.
8 彼ら互に推あはず各その道にしたがひて進み行く 彼らは刄に觸るとも身を害はず
Neither shall one thrust another, but euery one shall walke in his path: and when they fall vpon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 彼らは邑をかけめぐり石垣の上に奔り家に攀登り盗賊のごとくに窓より入る
They shall runne to and from in the citie: they shall runne vpon the wall: they shall clime vp vpon the houses, and enter in at ye windowes like ye thiefe.
10 そのむかふところ地ゆるぎ天震ひ日も月も暗くなり星その光明を失ふ
The earth shall tremble before him, ye heauens shall shake, the sunne and the moone shalbe darke, and the starres shall withdraw their shining,
11 ヱホバその軍勢の前にて聲をあげたまふ 其軍旅はなはだ大なればなり 其言を爲とぐる者は強し ヱホバの日は大にして甚だ畏るべきが故に誰かこれに耐ふることを得んや
And the Lord shall vtter his voyce before his hoste: for his hoste is very great: for he is strog that doeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide it?
12 然どヱホバ言たまふ 今にても汝ら斷食と哭泣と悲哀とをなし心をつくして我に歸れ
Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,
13 汝ら衣を裂かずして心を裂き汝等の神ヱホバに歸るべし 彼は恩惠あり憐憫ありかつ怒ることゆるく愛憐大にして災害をなすを悔いたまふなり
And rent your heart, and not your clothes: and turne vnto the Lord your God, for he is gratious, and mercifull, slowe to anger, and of great kindnes, and repenteth him of the euill.
14 誰か彼のあるひは立歸り悔て祝福をその後にとめのこし汝らをして素祭と灌祭とをなんぢらの神ヱホバにささげしめ給はじと知んや
Who knoweth, is he wil returne and repent and leaue a blessing behinde him, euen a meate offring, and a drinke offring vnto ye Lord your God?
15 汝らシオンにて喇叭を吹きならし斷食を定め公會をよびつどへ
Blowe the trumpet in Zion, sanctifie a fast, call a solemne assembly.
16 民を集めその會を潔くし老たる人をあつめ孩童と乳哺子を集め新郎をその室より呼いだし新婦をその密室より呼いだせ
Gather the people: sanctifie the congregation, gather the elders: assemble the children, and those that sucke the breastes: let the bridegrome go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her bride chamber.
17 而してヱホバに事ふる祭司等は廊と祭壇の間にて泣て言へ ヱホバよ汝の民を赦したまへ 汝の産業を恥辱しめらるるに任せ之を異邦人に治めさする勿れ 何ぞ異邦人をして彼らの神は何處にあると言しむべけんや
Let the Priestes, the ministers of the Lord weepe betweene the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and giue not thine heritage into reproche that the heathen should rule ouer them. Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 然せばヱホバ己の地にために嫉妬を起しその民を憐みたまはん
Then will the Lord be ielous ouer his land, and spare his people.
19 ヱホバ應へてその民に言たまはん 視よ我穀物とあたらしき酒と油を汝におくる 汝ら之に飽ん 我なんぢらをして重ねて異邦人の中に恥辱を蒙らしめじ
Yea, the Lord wil answere and say vnto his people, Beholde, I will send you corne, and wine, and oyle, and you shalbe satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproche among the heathen,
20 我北よりきたる軍を遠く汝らより離れしめうるほひなき荒地に逐やらん 其前軍を東の海にその後軍を西の海に入れん その臭味立ちその惡臭騰らん 是大なる事を爲たるに因る
But I will remooue farre off from you the Northren armie, and I will driue him into a land, barren and desolate with his face toward the East sea, and his end to the vtmost sea, and his stinke shall come vp, and his corruption shall ascend, because he hath exalted himselfe to do this.
21 地よ懼るる勿れ 喜び樂しめ ヱホバ大なる事を行ひたまふなり
Feare not, O land, but be glad, and reioyce: for the Lord wil do great things.
22 野の獸よ懼るる勿れ あれ野の牧草はもえいで樹は果を結び無花果樹葡萄樹はその力をめざすなり
Be not afrayde, ye beastes of the fielde: for the pastures of the wildernesse are greene: for the tree beareth her fruite: the figge tree and the vine do giue their force.
23 シオンの子等よ 汝らの神ヱホバによりて樂め喜べ ヱホバは秋の雨を適當なんぢらに賜ひまた前のごとく秋の雨と春の雨とを汝らの上に降せたまふ
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and reioyce in the Lord your God: for he hath giuen you the rayne of righteousnes, he wil cause to come downe for you the rayne, euen the first raine, and the latter raine in the first moneth.
24 打塲には穀物盈ち甕にはあたらしき酒と油溢れん
And the barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.
25 我が汝らに遣しし大軍すなはち群ゐる蝗なめつくす蝗喫ほろぼす蝗噬くらふ蝗の触あらせる年を我汝らに賠はん
And I will render you the yeeres that the grashopper hath eaten, the canker worme and the caterpiller and the palmer worme, my great hoste which I sent among you.
26 汝らは食ひ食ひて飽き よのつねならずなんぢらを待ひたまひし汝らの神ヱホバの名をほめ頌へん 我民はとこしへに辱しめらるることなかるべし
So you shall eate and be satisfied and praise the Name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt marueilously with you: and my people shall neuer be ashamed.
27 かくて汝らはイスラエルの中に我が居るを知り汝らの神ヱホバは我のみにて外に無きことを知らん 我民は永遠に辱かしめらるることなかるべし
Ye shall also know, that I am in the middes of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God and none other, and my people shall neuer be ashamed.
28 その後われ吾靈を一切の人に注がん 汝らの男子女子は預言せん 汝らの老たる人は夢を見 汝らの少き人は異象を見ん
And afterward will I powre out my Spirit vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecie: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and your yong men shall see visions,
29 その日我またわが靈を僕婢に注がん
And also vpon the seruants, and vpon the maydes in those dayes wil I powre my Spirit.
30 また天と地に徴證を顯さん 即ち血あり火あり煙の柱あるべし
And I will shewe wonders in the heauens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 ヱホバの大なる畏るべき日の來らん前に日は暗く月は血に變らん
The sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 凡てヱホバの名を龥ぶ者は救はるべし そはヱホバの宣ひし如くシオンの山とヱルサレムとに救はれし者あるべければなり 其遺れる者の中にヱホバの召し給へるものあらん
But whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued: for in mount Zion, and in Ierusale shalbe deliuerance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant, whom the Lord shall call.
