< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.
ヱホバ、ヤコブを憐みイスラエルをふたたび撰びて之をおのれの地におきたまはん異邦人これに加りてヤコブの家にむすびつらなるべし
2 And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.
もろもろの民はかれらをその處にたづさへいたらん而してイスラエルの家はヱホバの地にてこれを奴婢となし曩におのれを虜にしたるものを虜にしおのれを虐げたるものを治めん
3 And it will be, in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your trouble, and from the hard yoke which they had put on you,
ヱホバなんぢの憂と艱難とをのぞき亦なんぢが勤むるからき役をのぞきて安息をたまふの日
4 That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;
なんぢこの歌をとなヘバビロン王をせめていはん虐ぐる者いかにして息みしや金をはたる者いかにして息みしやと
5 The stick of the evil-doers, the rod of the rulers, is broken by the Lord;
ヱホバあしきものの笞ともろもろの有司の杖とををりたまへり
6 He whose rod was on the peoples with an unending wrath, ruling the nations in passion, with an uncontrolled rule.
かれらは怒をもてもろもろの民をたえず撃てはうち忿恚をもてもろもろの國ををさむれどその暴虐をとどむる者なかりき
7 All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.
今は全地やすみを得おだやかを得ことごとく聲をあげてうたふ
8 Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.
實にまつの樹およびレバノンの香柏さへもなんぢの故により歡びていふ汝すでに仆たれば樵夫のぼりきたりてわれらを攻ることなしと
9 The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats. (Sheol h7585)
下の陰府はなんぢの故により動きて汝のきたるをむかへ世のもろもろの英雄の亡靈をおこし國々のもろもろの王をその位より起おこらしむ (Sheol h7585)
10 They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?
かれらは皆なんぢに告ていはん汝もわれらのごとく弱くなりしや汝もわれらと同じくなりしやと
11 Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの榮華となんぢの琴の音はすでに陰府におちたり蛆なんぢの下にしかれ蚯蚓なんぢをおほふ (Sheol h7585)
12 How great is your fall from heaven, O shining one, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the earth, low among the dead bodies!
あしたの子明星よいかにして天より隕しやもろもろの國をたふしし者よいかにして斫れて地にたふれしや
13 For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north.
汝さきに心中におもへらくわれ天にのぼり我くらゐを神の星のうへにあげ北の極なる集會の山にざし
14 I will go higher than the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
たかき雲漢にのぼり至上者のごとくなるべしと
15 But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts. (Sheol h7585)
然どなんぢは陰府におとされ坑の最下にいれられん (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will be looking on you with care, they will be in deep thought, saying, Is this the troubler of the earth, the shaker of kingdoms?
なんぢを見るものは熟々なんぢを視なんぢに目をとめていはんこの人は地をふるはせ列國をうごかし
17 Who made the world a waste, overturning its towns; who did not let his prisoners loose from the prison-house.
世を荒野のごとくしもろもろの邑をこぼち捕へたるものをその家にときかへさざりしものなるかと
18 All the kings of the earth are at rest in glory, every man in his house,
もろもろの國の王たちはことごとく皆たふとき状にておのおのその家にねぶる
19 But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.
然どなんぢは忌きらふべき枝のごとくおのが墓のそとにすてられその周圍には劍にて刺ころされ坑におろされ石におほはれたる者ありて踐つけらるる屍にことならず
20 As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.
汝おのれの國をほろぼしおのれの民をころししが故にかれらとおなじく葬らるることあたはずそれ惡をおこなふものの裔はとこしへに名をよばるることなかるべし
21 Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.
先祖のよこしまの故をもてその子孫のために戮場をそなへ彼等をしてたちて地をとり世界のおもてに邑をみたすことなからしめよ
22 For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.
萬軍のヱホバのたまはく我立てかれらを攻めバビロンよりその名と遺りたるものとを絶滅しその子その孫をたちほろぼさんとこれヱホバの聖言なり
23 And I will make you a heritage for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will go through it with the brush of destruction, says the Lord of armies.
われバビロンを刺蝟のすみかとし沼とし且ほろびの箒をもてこれを掃除かんとこれ萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
24 The Lord has taken an oath, saying, My design will certainly come about, and my purpose will be effected:
萬軍のヱホバ誓をたてて言給はくわがおもひし事はかならず成わがさだめし事はかならず立ん
25 To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.
われアツスリヤ人をわが地にてうちやぶりわが山々にてふみにじらんここにおいて彼がおきし軛はイスラエル人よりはなれ彼がおはせし重負はイスラエル人の肩よりはなるべし
26 This is the purpose for all the earth: and this is the hand stretched out over all nations.
これは全地のことにつきて定めたる謀略なり是はもろもろの國のうへに伸したる手なり
27 For it is the purpose of the Lord of armies, and who will make it of no effect? when his hand is stretched out, by whom may it be turned back?
萬軍のヱホバさだめたまへり誰かこれを破ることを得んやその手をのばしたまへり誰かこれを押返すことを得んや
28 In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet:
アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
29 Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.
曰くペリシテの全地よなんぢをうちし杖をれたればとて喜ぶなかれ蛇の根より蝮いでその果はとびかける巨蛇となるべければなり
30 And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword.
いと貧しきものはものくひ乏しきものは安然にふさんわれ飢饉をもてなんぢの根をしなせ汝がのこれる者をころすべし
31 Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.
門よなげけ邑よさけべペリシテよなんぢの全地きえうせたりそはけぶり北よりいできたりその軍兵の列におくるるものなし
32 What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.
その國の使者たちに何とこたふべきや答ヘていはんヱホバ、シオンの基をおきたまへりその民のなかの苦しむものは避所をこの中にえん
