Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; |
ああ、エチオピヤの川々のかなたなるぶんぶんと羽音のする国、 |
| 18-2 |
that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide! |
この国は葦の船を水にうかべ、ナイル川によって使者をつかわす。とく走る使者よ、行け。川々の分れる国の、たけ高く、膚のなめらかな民、遠近に恐れられる民、力強く、戦いに勝つ民へ行け。 |
| 18-3 |
All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye. |
すべて世におるもの、地に住むものよ、山の上に旗の立つときは見よ、ラッパの鳴りひびくときは聞け。 |
| 18-4 |
For thus hath Jehovah said unto me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. |
主はわたしにこう言われた、「晴れわたった日光の熱のように、刈入れの熱むして露の多い雲のように、わたしは静かにわたしのすまいから、ながめよう」。 |
| 18-5 |
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the spreading branches will he take away and cut down. |
刈入れの前、花は過ぎてその花がぶどうとなって熟すとき、彼はかまをもって、つるを刈り、枝を切り去る。 |
| 18-6 |
They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. |
彼らはみな山の猛禽と、地の獣とに捨て置かれる。猛禽はその上で夏を過ごし、地の獣はみなその上で冬を過ごす。 |
| 18-7 |
In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion. |
その時、川々の分れる国のたけ高く、膚のなめらかな民、遠くの者にも近くの者にも恐れられる民、力強く、戦いに勝つ民から万軍の主にささげる贈り物を携えて、万軍の主のみ名のある所、シオンの山に来る。 |
