Isaiah 42
1 See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
わが扶くるわが僕わが心よろこぶわが撰人をみよ 我わが靈をかれにあたへたり かれ異邦人に道をしめすべし
2 He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
かれは叫ぶことなく聲をあぐることなくその聲を街頭にきこえしめず
3 He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
また傷める蘆ををることなくほのくらき燈火をけすことなく 眞理をもて道をしめさん
4 His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
かれは衰へず喪膽せずして道を地にたてをはらん もろもろの島はその法言をまちのぞむべし
5 God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
天をつくりてこれをのべ 地とそのうへの產物とをひらき そのうへの民に息をあたへ その中をあゆむものに靈をあたへたまふ神ヱホバかく言給ふ
6 I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
云くわれヱホバ公義をもてなんぢを召たり われなんぢの手をとり汝をまもり なんぢを民の契約とし異邦人のひかりとなし
7 To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
而して瞽の目を開き俘囚を獄よりいだし 暗にすめるものを檻のうちより出さしめん
8 I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
われはヱホバなり是わが名なり 我はわが榮光をほかの者にあたへず わがほまれを偶像にあたへざるなり
9 See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.
さきに預言せるところはや成れり 我また新しきことをつげん 事いまだ兆さざるさきに我まづなんぢらに聞せんと
10 Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.
海にうかぶもの 海のなかに充るもの もろもろの島およびその民よ ヱホバにむかひて新しき歌をうたひ 地の極よりその頌美をたたへまつれ
11 Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.
荒野とその中のもろもろの邑とケダル人のすめるもろもろの村里はこゑをあげよ セラの民はうたひて山のいただきよりよばはれ
12 Let them give glory to the Lord, sounding his praise in the sea-lands.
榮光をヱホバにかうぶらせ その頌美をもろもろの島にて語りつげよ
13 The Lord will go out as a man of war, he will be moved to wrath like a fighting-man: his voice will be strong, he will give a loud cry; he will go against his attackers like a man of war.
ヱホバ勇士のごとく出たまふ また戰士のごとく熱心をおこし 聲をあげてよばはり大能をあらはして仇をせめ給はん
14 I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.
われ久しく聲をいださず默して己をおさへたり 今われ子をうまんとする婦人のごとく叫ばん 我いきづかしくかつ喘がん
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.
われ山と岡とをあらし且すべてその上の木草をからし もろもろの河を島としもろもろの池を涸さん
16 And I will take the blind by a way of which they had no knowledge, guiding them by roads strange to them: I will make the dark places light before them, and the rough places level. These things will I do and will not give them up.
われ瞽者をその未だしらざる大路にゆかしめ その未だしらざる徑をふましめ 暗をその前に光となし 曲れるをその前になほくすべし 我これらの事をおこなひて彼らをすてじ
17 They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.
刻みたる偶像にたのみ鑄たる偶像にむかひて汝等はわれらの神なりといふものは退けられて大に恥をうけん
18 Give ear, you whose ears are shut; and let your eyes be open, you blind, so that you may see.
聾者よきけ 瞽者よ眼をそそぎてみよ
19 Who is blind, but my servant? who has his ears stopped, but he whom I send? who is blind as my true one, or who has his ears shut like the Lord's servant?
瞽者はたれぞ わが僕にあらずや 誰かわがつかはせる使者の如き瞽者あらんや 誰かわが友の如きめしひあらんや 誰かヱホバの僕のごときめしひあらんや
20 Seeing much, but keeping nothing in mind; his ears are open, but there is no hearing.
汝おほくのことを見れども顧みず 耳をひらけども聞ざるなり
21 It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.
ヱホバおのれ義なるがゆゑに大にしてたふとき律法をたまふをよろこび給へり
22 But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.
然るにこの民はかすめられ奪はれて みな穴中にとらはれ獄のなかに閉こめらる 斯てその掠めらるるを助くる者なく その奪はれたるを償へといふ者なし
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will give attention to it for the time to come?
なんぢらのうち誰かこのことに耳をかたぶけん たれか心をもちゐて後のために之をきかん
24 Who gave up Jacob to those who took away his goods, and Israel to his attackers? Did not the Lord? he against whom they did wrong, and in whose ways they would not go, turning away from his teaching.
ヤコブを奪はせしものは誰ぞ かすむる者にイスラエルをわたしし者はたれぞ 是ヱホバにあらずや われらヱホバに罪ををかし その道をあゆまず その律法にしたがふことを好まざりき
25 For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.
この故にヱホバ烈しき怒をかたぶけ 猛きいくさをきたらせ その烈しきこと火の如く四圍にもゆれども彼しらず その身に焚せまれども心におかざりき
