Isaiah 45
1 This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:
われヱホバわが受膏者クロスの右手をとりてもろもろの國をそのまへに降らしめ もろもろの王の腰をとき扉をその前にひらかせて門をとづるものなからしめん
2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
われ汝のまへにゆきて崎嶇をたひらかにし 銅の門をこぼち くろがねの關木をたちきるべし
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.
われなんぢに暗ところの財貨とひそかなるところに藏せるたからとを予へ なんぢに我はヱホバなんぢの名をよべるイスラエルの神なるを知しめん
4 For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.
わが僕ヤコブわが撰みたるイスラエルのために我なんぢの名をよべり 汝われを知ずといへどわれ名をなんぢに賜ひたり
5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,
われはヱホバなり 我のほかに神なし 一人もなし 汝われをしらずといへども我なんぢを固うせん
6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
而して日のいづるところより西のかたまで人々我のほかに神なしと知べし 我はヱホバなり他にひとりもなし
7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
われは光をつくり又くらきを創造す われは平和をつくりまた禍害をさうざうす 我はヱホバなり 我すべてこれらの事をなすなり
8 Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
天ようへより滴らすべし 雲よ義をふらすべし 地はひらけて救を生じ義をもともに萌いだすべし われヱホバ之を創造せり
9 Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
世人はすゑものの中のひとつの陶器なるに己をつくれる者とあらそふはわざはひなるかな 泥塊はすゑものつくりにむかひて汝なにを作るかといふべけんや 又なんぢの造りたる者なんぢを手なしといふべけんや
10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
父にむかひて汝なにゆゑに生むことをせしやといひ 婦にむかひて汝なにゆゑに產のくるしみをなししやといふ者はわざはひなるかな
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “How dare you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?
ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者イスラエルを造れるもの如此いひたまふ 後きたらんとすることを我にとへ またわが子女とわが手の工とにつきて汝等われに言せよ
12 It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.
われ地をつくりてそのうへに人を創造せり われ自らの手をもて天をのべ その萬象をさだめたり
13 I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”
われ義をもて彼のクロスを起せり われそのすべての道をなほくせん 彼はわが邑をたてわが俘囚を價のためならず報のためならずして釋すべし これ萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
14 This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ エジプトがはたらきて得しものとエテオピアがあきなひて得しものとはなんぢの有とならん また身のたけ高きセバ人きたりくだりて汝にしたがひ繩につながれて降り なんぢのまへに伏しなんぢに祈りていはん まことに神はなんぢの中にいませり このほかに神なし一人もなしと
15 Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
救をほどこし給ふイスラエルの神よ まことに汝はかくれています神なり
16 They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.
偶像をつくる者はみな恥をいだき辱かしめをうけ諸共にはぢあわてて退かん
17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
されどイスラエルはヱホバにすくはれて永遠の救をえん なんぢらは世々かぎりなく恥をいだかず辱かしめをうけじ
18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
ヱホバは天を創造したまへる者にしてすなはち神なり また地をもつくり成てこれを堅くし徒然にこれを創造し給はず これを人の住所につくり給へり ヱホバかく宣給ふ われはヱホバなり我のほかに神あることなしと
19 I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.
われは隱れたるところ地のくらき所にてかたらず 我はヤコブの裔になんぢらが我をたづぬるは徒然なりといはず 我ヱホバはただしき事をかたり直きことを告ぐ
20 Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.
汝等もろもろの國より脱れきたれる者よ つどひあつまり共にすすみききたれ 木の像をになひ救ふことあたはざる神にいのりするものは無智なるなり
21 Speak up and present your case— yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.
なんぢらその道理をもちきたりて述よ また共にはかれ 此事をたれか上古より示したりや 誰かむかしより告たりしや 此はわれヱホバならずや 我のほかに神あることなし われは義をおこなひ救をほどこす神にして我のほかに神あることなし
22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
地の極なるもろもろの人よ なんぢら我をあふぎのぞめ然ばすくはれん われは神にして他に神なければなり
23 By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
われは己をさして誓ひたり この言はただしき口よりいでたれば反ることなし すべての膝はわがまへに屈み すべての舌はわれに誓をたてん
24 Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
人われに就ていはん正義と力とはヱホバにのみありと 人々ヱホバにきたらん すべてヱホバにむかひて怒るものは恥をいだくべし
25 In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
イスラエルの裔はヱホバによりて義とせられ且ほこらん
