< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
ウジヤの子ヨタムその子ユダヤ王アハズのとき アラムの王レヂンとレマリヤの子イスラエル王ペカと上りきたりてヱルサレムを攻しがつひに勝ことあたはざりき
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
ここにアラムとエフライムと結合なりたりとダビデの家につぐる者ありければ 王のこころと民の心とは林木の風にうごかさるるが如くに動けり
3 Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field.
その時ヱホバ、イザヤに言たまひけるは今なんぢと汝の子シヤルヤシユブと共にいでて布をさらす野の大路のかたはらなる上池の樋口にゆきてアハズを迎へ
4 And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet. Fear not, nor let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
これに告べし なんぢ 謹みて靜かなれ アラムのレヂン及びレマリヤの子はげしく怒るとも二の燼餘りたる煙れる片柴のごとし 懼るるなかれ心をよわくするなかれ
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying,
アラム、エフライム及びレマリヤの子なんぢにむかひて惡き謀ごとを企てていふ
6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach in it for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel,
われらユダに攻上りて之をおびやかし我儕のためにこれを破りとり タビエルの子をその中にたてて王とせんと
7 thus says the lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.
されど主ヱホバいひたまはく この事おこなはれずまた成ことなし
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. And within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that is shall not be a people.
アラムの首はダマスコ、ダマスコの首はレヂンなり エフライムは六十五年のうちに敗れて國をなさざるべし
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
またエフライムの首はサマリヤ、サマリヤの首はレマリヤの子なり 若なんぢら信ぜずばかならず立ことを得じと
10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
11 Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God, ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの神ヱホバに一の豫兆をもとめよ 或はふかき處あるひは上のたかき處にもとめよ (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I test Jehovah.
アハズいひけるは我これを求めじ 我はヱホバを試むることをせざるべし
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David. Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?
イザヤいひけるは ダビデのいへよ請なんぢら聞 なんぢら人をわづらはしこれを小事として亦わが神をも煩はさんとするか
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
この故に主みづから一の豫兆をなんぢらに賜ふべし 視よをとめ孕みて子をうまん その名をインマヌエルと稱ふべし
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
かれ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ころほひにいたりて乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらはん
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhor shall be forsaken.
そはこの子いまだ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ざるさきになんぢが忌きらふ兩の王の地はすてらるべし
17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah-even the king of Assyria.
ヱホバはエフライムがユダを離れし時よりこのかた臨みしことなき日を汝となんぢの民となんぢの父の家とにのぞませ給はん是アツスリヤの王なり
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will whistle for the fly that is in the outermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
其日ヱホバ、エジプトなる河々のほとりの蠅をまねきアツスリヤの地の蜂をよびたまはん
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all pastures.
皆きたりて荒たるたに岩穴すべての荊棘すべての牧場のうへに止まるべし
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor what is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, and it shall also consume the beard.
その日主はかはの外ふより雇へるアツスリヤの王を剃刀として首と足の毛とを剃たまはん また髯をも除きたまふべし
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep.
その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
22 And it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter. For everyone who is left in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
その出すところの乳おほきによりて乳酥をくらふことを得ん すべて國のうちに遺れるものは乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらふべし
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver coins, shall be for briers and thorns.
その日千株に銀一千の價をえたる葡萄ありし處もことごとく荊と棘はえいづべし
24 Men shall come there with arrows and with bow, because all the land shall be briers and thorns.
荊とおどろと地にあまねきがゆゑに人々矢と弓とをもて彼處にゆくなり
25 And all the hills that were dug with the mattock, thou shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
鋤をもて掘たがへしたる山々もいばらと棘のために人おそれてその中にゆくことを得じ その地はただ牛をはなち羊にふましむる處とならん
