Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. Jehovah has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name.
もろもろの島よ我にきけ 遠きところのもろもろの民よ耳をかたむけよ 我うまれいづるよりヱホバ我を召し われ母の胎をいづるよりヱホバわが名をかたりつげたまへり
2 And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.
ヱホバわが口を利劍となし我をその手のかげにかくし 我をとぎすましたる矢となして箙にをさめ給へり
3 And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
また我にいひ給はく 汝はわが僕なり わが榮光のあらはるべきイスラエルなりと
4 But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice due to me is with Jehovah, and my recompense with my God.
されど我いへり われは徒然にはたらき益なくむなしく力をつひやしぬと 然はあれど誠にわが審判はヱホバにあり わが報はわが神にあり
5 And now says Jehovah who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God has become my strength),
ヤコブをふたたび己にかへらしめイスラエルを己のもとにあつまらせんとて 我をうまれいでしより立ておのれの僕となし給へるヱホバいひ給ふ(我はヱホバの前にたふとくせらる 又わが神はわが力となりたまへり)
6 yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth.
その聖言にいはく なんぢわが僕となりてヤコブのもろもろの支派をおこし イスラエルのうちののこりて全うせしものを歸らしむることはいと輕し 我また汝をたてて異邦人の光となし 我がすくひを地のはてにまで到らしむ
7 Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of Jehovah who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.
ヱホバ、イスラエルの贖主イスラエルの聖者は人にあなどらるるもの 民にいみきらはるるもの 長たちに役せらるる者にむかひて如此いひたまふ もろもろの王は見てたちもろもろの君はみて拜すべし これ信實あるヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者なんぢを選びたまへるが故なり
8 Thus says Jehovah, In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in a day of salvation I have helped thee. And I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages,
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ われ惠のときに汝にこたへ救の日になんぢを助けたり われ汝をまもりて民の契約とし國をおこし荒すたれたる地をまた產業としてかれらにつがしめん
9 saying to those who are bound, Go forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all bare heights.
われ縛しめられたる者にいでよといひ暗にをるものに顯れよといはん かれら途すがら食ふことをなし もろもろの禿なる山にも牧草をうべし
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them. For he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them even by springs of water.
かれらは饑ずかわかず 又やけたる砂もあつき日もうつことなし 彼等をあはれむもの之をみちびきて泉のほとりに和かにみちびき給ければなり
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
我わがもろもろの山を路とし わが大路をたかくせん
12 Lo, these shall come from far, and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.
視よ人々あるひは遠きよりきたり あるひは北また西よりきたらん 或はまたシニムの地よりきたるべし
13 Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains. For Jehovah has comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.
天ようたへ地よよろこべ もろもろの山よ聲をはなちてうたへ ヱホバはその民をなぐさめその苦むものを憐みたまへばなり
14 But Zion said, Jehovah has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.
然どシオンはいへりヱホバ我をすて主われをわすれたまへりと
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet I will not forget thee.
婦その乳兒をわすれて己がはらの子をあはれまざることあらんや 縦ひかれら忘るることありとも我はなんぢを忘るることなし
16 Behold, I have engraved thee upon the palms of my hands. Thy walls are continually before me.
われ掌になんぢを彫刻めり なんぢの石垣はつねにわが前にあり
17 Thy sons make haste. Thy destroyers and those who made thee waste shall go forth from thee.
なんぢの子輩はいそぎ來り なんぢを毀つもの汝をあらす者は汝より出さらん
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold. All these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, says Jehovah, thou shall surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.
なんぢ目をあげて環視せよ これらのもの皆あひあつまりて汝がもとに來るべし ヱホバ宣給く われは活なんぢ此等をみな身によそほひて飾となし 新婦の帶のごとくに之をまとふべし
19 For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy land that has been destroyed, surely now thou shall be too narrow for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed thee up shall be far away.
なんぢの荒かつ廢れたるところ毀たれたる地は こののち住ふもの多くして狹きをおぼえん なんぢを呑つくししもの遙にはなれ去るべし
20 The sons of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too narrow for me. Give a place to me that I may dwell.
むかし別れたりしなんぢの子輩はのちの日なんぢの耳のあたりにて語りあはん云く ここは我がために狹し なんぢ外にゆきて我にすむべき所をえしめよと
21 Then thou shall say in thy heart, Who has begotten these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my sons, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone, these, where were they?
その時なんぢ心裏にいはん 誰かわがために此等のものを生しや われ子をうしなひて獨居りかつ俘れ且さすらひたり 誰かこれを育てしや 視よわれ一人のこされたり 此等はいづこに居しや
22 Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
主ヱホバいひたまはく 視よわれ手をもろもろの國にむかひてあげ 旗をもろもろの民にむかひてたてん 斯てかれらはその懷中になんぢの子輩をたづさへ その肩になんぢの女輩をのせきたらん
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah, and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.
もろもろの王はなんぢの養父となり その后妃はなんぢの乳母となり かれらはその面を地につけて汝にひれふし なんぢの足の塵をなめん 而して汝わがヱホバなるをしり われを俟望むものの恥をかうぶることなきを知るならん
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?
勇士がうばひたる掠物をいかでとりかへし 強暴者がかすめたる虜をいかで救いだすことを得んや
25 But thus says Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him who contends with thee, and I will save thy sons.
されどヱホバ如此いひたまふ云く ますらをが掠めたる虜もとりかへされ 強暴者がうばひたる掠物もすくひいださるべし そは我なんぢを攻るものをせめてなんぢの子輩をすくふべければなり
26 And I will feed those who oppress thee with their own flesh. And they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine. And all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
我なんぢを虐ぐるものにその肉をくらはせ またその血をあたらしき酒のごとくにのませて酔しめん 而して萬民はわがヱホバにして汝をすくふ者なんぢを贖ふものヤコブの全能者なることを知るべし
