moving without Ark

境界線を移し変えて群れを奪った俺が養うために、父親の居ない子のバイクを追い払い、やもめの債券も質物として奪う。俺は貧乏なやつらを道から押し退ける。それと共に地上で苦しんでいる者たちは身を隠していた。荒野のシマウマのように食べ物を探しに行く。荒野は俺の娘のためのパンをそれぞれに与える。俺は邪悪な者の葡萄園を急いで奪う。裸で、寒さの中着る物も覆うものもなく夜を過ごす。山の雨あらしにずぶ濡れになり、避け所がないからやむなく岩を抱く。俺は父親のない子を乳房からさえもぎ取り、苦しむ者の身にあるものを質に取る。裸で、着る物もなく行きめぐり、餓えながら、刈り取った穂を運ばなければならない。露台の壁の間で昼間を過ごす。葡萄搾り場を踏まなければならないがいつも、それでもいつも乾いている。市内からは死にかけている者たちがうめいており、致命傷を受けた者たちの魂が助けを呼び求める。けれども彼はそれを不当なこととして考慮しない。俺について言えば、俺は光に背く者たちのうちにいた。俺はその道を認めず、その通り道にとどまらなかった。夜明けに、殺人者は起き上がり、苦しむ者や貧しい者たちをうち殺し、夜には紛れもない盗人になる。姦淫をする者の目は夕闇を待ち構えて、「誰の目もわたしを眺めることはない」と言った。そして、その顔に覆うものをあてる。闇の中で俺は家々をうがった。昼間は家に引きこもっている。俺は日の光を知らなかった。朝は俺にとって深い陰と一緒だ。俺は深い陰の突然の恐怖がどんなものかを知っているからだ。俺は水の表をすばやく去る。俺の一続きの土地は地の中で呪われる。俺は葡萄園の道には向かわない。旱魃や熱さは雪水を奪い取る。そのように墓も罪を犯した者を奪い取る。胎は俺を忘れるだろう。蛆は喜んで俺に吸い、俺はもはや思い出されることがない。不義は木のように折られる。俺は子を産まないうまずめと交渉をもっており、またやもめとも。俺はこれに良くしてやらない。彼はその力によって強い者たちを引いて行く。俺は立ち上がるが俺の命は確かではない。彼は俺に自信を持つことを許すので俺は自分に頼る。彼の目は俺の道の上にある。俺は暫くは高められたがもういない。俺は低くされた。他の奴らと同じように引き抜かれ、穂先のように断たれる。

a drove I've snatched away, that I may shepherd it
I drive off even the male ass of fatherless boys
I seize the widow's bull as a pledge
I turn aside the poor ones from the way
moving back boundary marks; moving without Ark in the day of the Lord
so the afflicted of the earth have kept themselves hidden
as zebras in the wilderness; I've gone looking for food
the desert plain gives to me bread for my daughter
and the vineyard of the wicked one I hastily despoil
musing in the dark; moving without Ark in the day of the Lord
naked, I pass the night without a garment
and without any covering in the cold
from the rainstorm of the mountains I get drenched
because there's no shelter I have to hug a rock
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
I snatch away a fatherless boy even from the breast
and what is on the afflicted one I take as a pledge
naked, I have to go about without a garment
and, hungry, I have to carry the reaped ears
musing in the dark; moving without Ark in the day of the Lord
between the terrace walls I pass the noontime
winepresses I have to tread, and yet I go thirsty
from out of the city the dying keep groaning
and the soul of deadly wounded ones cries for help
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
he considers it not as anything improper
as for me, I am among the rebels against light
I did not recognize its ways
and I did not dwell in its roadways
mobile does not work; musing in the dark in the day of the Lord
at daylight the murderer gets up
proceeding to slay the afflicted and the poor one
and during the night I become a regular thief
the eye of the adulterer watched for evening darkness
saying, 'No eye will behold me!' and over my face I puts a covering
In the darkness I have dug into houses
by day I must keep myself locked in
I have not known daylight
for morning is the same as deep shadow for me
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
for I recognize what the sudden terrors of deep shadow are
I'm swift on the surface of the waters
my tract of land will be cursed in the earth
I will not turn toward the way of the vineyards
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
the drought, & the heat, snatch away the snow waters
so does She'ol those who have sinned!
the womb will forget me
the maggot will sweetly suck me, I 'll be remembered no more
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
and unrighteousness will be broken just like a tree
I'm having dealings with a barren woman who does not bear
and I am having dealings with a widow, to whom I do no good
he will certainly draw away strong people by his power
moving without Ark; mobile does not work in the day of the Lord
I will rise up and not be sure of my life
he will grant me to become confident that I may support myself
and his eyes will be upon my way
I have become high up a little while, then I am no more
moving without Ark; musing in the dark in the day of the Lord
I've been brought low, like everyone else I am plucked off
like the head of an ear of grain I am cut off
mobile does not work, in the day of the Lord
mobile does not work, in the day of the Lord
musing in the dark; moving without Ark in the day of the Lord
