Isaiah 49
1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
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 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me 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 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
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 in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is 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 the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is 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 He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends 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 the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
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 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
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 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.
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 will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside 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 I will turn all My mountains into roads, and My highways will be raised up.
我わがもろもろの山を路とし わが大路をたかくせん
12 Behold, they will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Aswan.”
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 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
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, “The LORD has forsaken me; 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 nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
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 inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever 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 Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
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 your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on 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 your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will 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 Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
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 you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
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 This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on 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 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never 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 Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant 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 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
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 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your 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
