Esias 41
1 Hold a feast to me, you islands: for the princes shall renew [their] strength: let them draw near and speak together: then let them declare judgement.
もろもろの島よわがまへに默せ もろもろの民よあらたなる力をえて近づききたれ 而して語れ われら寄集ひて諭らはん
2 Who raised up righteousness from the east, [and] called it to his feet, so that it should go? shall appoint [it] an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks?
たれか東より人をおこししや われは公義をもて之をわが足下に召し その前にもろもろの國を服せしめ また之にもろもろの王ををさめしめ かれらの劍をちりのごとくかれらの弓をふきさらるる藁のごとくならしむ
3 And he shall pursue them; the way of his feet shall proceed in peace.
斯て彼はこれらのものを追 その足いまだ行ざる道をやすらかに過ゆけり
4 Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM.
このことは誰がおこなひしや たが成しや たが太初より世々の人をよびいだししや われヱホバなり 我ははじめなり終なり
5 The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew near, and came together,
もろもろの島はこれを見ておそれ地の極はをののきて寄集ひきたれり
6 every one judging for his neighbour and [that] to assist his brother: and one will say,
かれら互にその隣をたすけ その兄弟にいひけるは なんぢ雄々しかれ
7 The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, [and] forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved.
木匠は鐵工をはげまし鎚をもて平らぐるものは鐵碪をうつものを勵ましていふ 接合せいとよしと また釘をもて堅うして搖くことなからしむ
8 But you, Israel, are my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraam, whom I have loved:
然どわが僕イスラエルよ わが選めるヤコブわが友アブラハムの裔よ
9 whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called you, and said to you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I have not forsaken you.
われ地のはてより汝をたづさへきたり地のはしよりなんぢを召 かくて汝にいへり 汝はわが僕われ汝をえらみて棄ざりきと
10 Fear not; for I am with you: wander not; for I am your God, who have strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with my just right hand.
おそるるなかれ 我なんぢとともにあり 驚くなかれ我なんぢの神なり われなんぢを強くせん 誠になんぢを助けん 誠にわがただしき右手なんぢを支へん
11 Behold, all your adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all your opponents shall perish.
視よなんぢにむかひて怒るものはみな恥をえて惶てふためかん なんぢと爭ふものは無もののごとくなりて滅亡せん
12 You shall seek them, and you shall not find the men who shall insolently rage against you: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against you shall not be.
なんぢ尋ぬるとも汝とたたかふ人々にあはざるべし 汝といくさする者はなきものの如くなりて虚しくなるべし
13 For I am your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you,
そは我ヱホバなんぢの神はなんぢの右手をとりて汝にいふ 懼るるなかれ我なんぢを助けんと
14 Fear not, Jacob, [and you] Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, he that redeems you, O Israel.
またヱホバ宣給ふ なんぢ虫にひとしきヤコブよイスラエルの人よ おそるるなかれ我なんぢをたすけん汝をあがなふものはイスラエルの聖者なり
15 Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff:
視よわれ汝をおほくの鋭歯ある新しき打麥の器となさん なんぢ山をうちて細微にし岡を粃糠のごとくにすべし
16 and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.
なんぢ簸げば風これを巻さり 狂風これを吹ちらさん 汝はヱホバによりて喜びイスラエルの聖者によりて誇らん
17 And the poor and the needy shall exult; for [when] they shall seek water, and there shall be none, [and] their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them:
貧しきものと乏しきものと水を求めて水なくその舌かわきて衰ふるとき われヱホバ聽てこたへん 我イスラエルの神かれらを棄ざるなり
18 but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses.
われ河をかぶろの山にひらき泉を谷のなかにいだし また荒野を池となし乾ける地を水の源と變ん
19 I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar:
我あれのに香柏 合歎樹 もちの樹 および油の樹をうゑ沙漠に松 杉 及び黄楊をともに置ん
20 that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has wrought these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them].
かくて彼等これを見てヱホバの手の作たまふところイスラエルの聖者の造り給ふ所なるをしり且こころをとめ且ともどもにさとらん
21 Your judgement draws near, says the Lord God; your counsels have drawn near, says the King of Jacob.
ヱホバ言給く なんぢらの道理をとり出せ ヤコブの王いひたまはく 汝等のかたき證をもちきたれ
22 Let them draw near, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell [us] what things were of old, and we will apply [our] understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things:
これを持來りてわれらに後ならんとする事をしめせ そのいやさきに成るべきことを示せ われら心をとめてその終をしらん 或はきたらんとする事をわれらに聞すべし
23 tell us, declare you to us the things that are coming on at the last [time], and we shall know that you are gods: do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time
なんぢら後ならんとすることをしめせ我儕なんぢらが神なることを知らん なんぢら或はさいはひし或はわざはひせよ 我儕ともに見ておどろかん
24 whence you are, and whence is your works: they have chosen you an abomination out of the earth.
視よなんぢらは無もののごとし なんぢらの事はむなし なんぢらを撰ぶものは憎むべきものなり
25 But I have raised up him that [comes] from the north, and him that [comes] from the rising of the sun: they shall be called by my name: let the princes come, and as potter's clay, and as a potter treading clay, so shall you be trodden down.
われ一人を起して北よりきたらせ我が名をよぶものを東よりきたらしむ 彼きたりもろもろの長をふみて泥のごとくにし陶工のつちくれを踐がごとくにせん
26 For who will declare the things from the beginning, that we may know also the former things, and we will say that they are true? there is no one that speaks beforehand, nor anyone that hears your words.
たれか初よりこれらの事をわれらに告てしらしめたりや たれか上古よりわれらに告てこは是なりといはしめたりや 一人だに告るものなし一人だに聞するものなし 一人だになんぢらの言をきくものなし
27 I will give dominion to Sion, and will comfort Jerusalem by the way.
われ豫じめシオンにいはん なんぢ視よ かれらを見よと われ又よきおとづれを告るものをヱルサレムに予へん
28 For from amongst the nations, behold, [there was] no one; and of their idols there was none to declare [anything]: and if I should ask them, Whence are you? they could not answer me.
われ見るに一人だになし かれらのなかに謀略をまうくるもの一人だになし 我かれらに問どこたふるもの一人だになし
29 For [these] are your makers, [as you think], and they that cause you to err in vain.
かれらの爲はみな徒然にして無もののごとし その偶像は風なりまた空しきなり
