7:18 その日が来れば／主は口笛を吹いて／エジプトの川の果てから蠅を／アッシリアの地から蜂を呼ばれる。

7:19 彼らは一斉に飛んで来て／深い谷間や岩の裂け目に宿り／どの茨にも、どの牧場にも宿る。

7:20 その日には、わたしの主は／大河のかなたでかみそりを雇われる。アッシリアの王がそれだ。頭髪も足の毛もひげもそり落とされる。

7:21 その日が来れば／人は子牛一頭、羊二匹の命を救いうるのみ。

7:22 しかし、それらは乳を豊かに出すようになり／人は凝乳を食べることができる／この地に残った者は皆、凝乳と蜂蜜を食べる。

7:23 その日が来れば／ぶどうの木を千株も育てうるところ／銀一千シェケルに値するところもすべて／茨とおどろに覆われる。

7:24 茨とおどろがこの地を覆うので／人は弓矢を持ってそこへ行かねばならない。

7:25 鍬で耕されていた山々にも／人は茨とおどろを恐れて足を踏み入れず／ただ牛を放ち、羊が踏み歩くにまかせる。

ＴＥＶ イザ 7:18-25

7:18 "When that time comes, the Lord will whistle as a signal for the Egyptians to come like flies from the farthest branches of the Nile, and for the Assyrians to come from their land like bees.

7:19 They will swarm in the rugged valleys and in the caves in the rocks, and they will cover every thorn bush and every pasture.

7:20 "When that time comes, the Lord will hire a barber from across the Euphrates-the emperor of Assyria!-and he will shave off your beards and the hair on your heads and your bodies.

7:21 "When that time comes, even if a farmer has been able to save only one young cow and two goats,

7:22 they will give so much milk that he will have all he needs. Yes, the few survivors left in the land will have milk and honey to eat.

7:23 "When that time comes, the fine vineyards, each with a thousand vines and each worth a thousand pieces of silver, will be overgrown with thorn bushes and briers.

7:24 People will go hunting there with bows and arrows. Yes, the whole country will be full of briers and thorn bushes.

7:25 All the hills where crops were once planted will be so overgrown with thorns that no one will go there. It will be a place where cattle and sheep graze."
