Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
酔るものなるエフライム人よなんぢらの誇の冠はわざはひなるかな 酒におぼるるものよ肥たる谷の首にある凋んとする花のうるはしき飾はわざはひなるかな
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
みよ主はひとりの力ある强剛者をもち給へり それは雹をまじへたる暴風のごとく壞りそこなふ狂風のごとく大水のあぶれ漲るごとく烈しくかれを地になげうつべし
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
酔るものなるエフライム人のほこりの冠は足にて踐にじられん
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
肥たる谷のかしらにある凋んとする花のうるはしきかざりは 夏こぬに熟したる初結の無花果のごとし 見るものこれをみて取る手おそしと呑いるるなり
5 In that day, the LORD of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
その日萬軍のヱホバその民ののこれる者のために榮のかんむりとなり美しき冠となり給はん
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
さばきの席にざするものには審判の靈をあたへ軍を門よりおひかへす者には力をあたへ給ふべし
7 They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
然どかれらも酒によりてよろめき濃酒によりてよろぼひたり 祭司と預言者とは濃酒によりてよろめき 酒にのまれ濃酒によりてよろぼひ 而して默示をみるときにもよろめき審判をおこなふときにも躓けり
8 For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
すべて膳には吐たるものと穢とみちて潔きところなし
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
かれは誰にをしへて知識をあたへんとするか 誰にしめして音信を暁らせんとするか 乳をたち懷をはなれたる者にするならんか
10 For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
そは誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にもすこしく敎ふ
11 But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
このゆゑに神あだし唇と異なる舌とをもてこの民にかたりたまはん
12 to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
曩にかれらに言たまひけるは此は安息なり疲困者にやすみをあたへよ 此は安慰なりと されど彼らは聞ことをせざりき
13 Therefore the LORD’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
斯るがゆゑにヱホバの言かれらにくだりて 誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にも少しくをしへん 之によりて彼等すすみてうしろに仆れそこなはれ罟にかかりて捕へらるべし
14 Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
なんぢら此ヱルサレムにある民ををさむるところの輕慢者よヱホバの言をきけ
15 "Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol (Sheol h7585). When the overflowing scourge passes through, it will not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.'"
なんぢらは云り 我ら死と契約をたて陰府とちぎりをむすべり 漲りあふるる禍害のすぐるときわれらに來らじ そはわれら虛僞をもて避所となし欺詐をもて身をかくしたればなりと (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
このゆゑに神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ 視よわれシオンに一つの石をすゑてその基となせり これは試をへたる石たふとき隅石かたくすゑたる石なり これに依賴むものはあわつることなし
17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
われ公平を準繩とし正義を錘とす 斯て雹はいつはりにてつくれる避所をのぞきさり水はその匿れたるところに漲りあふれん
18 Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol (Sheol h7585) shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
汝らが死とたてし契約はきえうせ陰府とむすべるちぎりは成ことなし されば漲り溢るるわざはひのすぐるとき汝等はこれに踐たふさるべし (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
その過るごとになんぢらを捕へん 朝々にすぎ晝も夜もすぐ この音信をきき わきまふるのみにても慴きをるなり
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
その狀は床みじかくして身をのぶることあたはず 衾せまくして身をおほふこと能はざるが如し
21 For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
そはヱホバ往昔ペラヂムの山にて起たまひしがごとくにたち ギベオンの谷にて忿恚をはなちたまひしが如くにいきどほり 而してその所爲をおこなひ給はん 奇しき所爲なり その工を成たまはん 異なる工なり
22 Now therefore do not be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.
この故になんぢら侮るなかれ 恐くはなんぢらの縲絏きびしくならん 我すでに全地のうへにさだまれる敗亡あるよしを主萬軍のヱホバより聞たればなり
23 Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
なんぢら耳をかたぶけてわが聲をきけ懇ろにわが言をきくべし
24 Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
農夫たねをまかんに何で日々たがへし日々その地をすき その土塊をくだくことのみを爲んや
25 When he has leveled its surface, does not he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
もし地の面をたひらかにせばいかで罌粟をまき 馬芹の種をおろし 小麥をうねにうゑ 大麥をさだめたる處にうゑ 粗麥を畔にうゑざらんや
26 For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
斯のごときはかれの神これに智慧をあたへて敎へたまへるなり
27 For the dill is not threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
けしは連耞にてうたず 馬芹はそのうへに車輪をきしらせず罌栗をうつには杖をもちひ 馬芹をうつには棒をもちふ
28 Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses do not grind it.
麥をくだくか否くるまにきしらせ馬にふませて落すことはすれども斷ずしかするにあらず これを碎くことをせざるべし
29 This also comes out from the LORD of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
此もまた萬軍のヱホバよりいづ その謀略はくすしくその智慧はすぐれたり
