Esias 9
1 Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
今くるしみを受れども後には闇なかるべし 昔しはゼブルンの地ナフタリの地をあなどられしめ給ひしかど 後には海にそひたる地ヨルダンの外の地 ことくに人のガリラヤに榮をうけしめ給へり
2 O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
幽暗をあゆめる民は大なる光をみ 死蔭の地にすめる者のうへに光てらせり
3 The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
なんぢ民をましその歡喜を大にしたまひければ かれらは收穫時によろこぶがごとく掠物をわかつときに樂むがごとく汝の前によろこべり
4 Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
そは汝かれらがおへる軛とその肩の笞と虐ぐるものの杖とを折り これを折りてミデアンの日のごとくなし給ひたればなり
5 For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
すべて亂れたたかふ兵士のよろひと血にまみれたる衣とはみな火のもえくさとなりて焚るべし
6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
ひとりの嬰兒われらのために生れたり 我儕はひとりの子をあたへられたり 政事はその肩にあり その名は奇妙また議士 また大能の神とこしへのちち 平和の君ととなへられん
7 His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgement and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
その政事と平和とはましくははりて窮りなし 且ダビデの位にすわりてその國ををさめ今よりのちとこしへに公平と正義とをもてこれを立これを保ちたまはん 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
8 The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
主一言をヤコブにおくり之をイスラエルの上にのぞませ給へり
9 And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
すべてのこの民エフライムとサマリヤに居るものとは知ならん かれらは高ぶり誇る心をもていふ
10 The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
瓦くづるるともわれら斫石をもて建 くはの木きらるるともわれら香柏をもて之にかへんと
11 And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
この故にヱホバ、レヂンの敵をあげもちゐてイスラエルを攻しめ その仇をたけび勇しめたまはん
12 [even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
前にアラム人あり後にペシリテ人あり 口をはりてイスラエルを呑んとす 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
13 But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
然どこの民はおのれをうつものに歸らず萬軍のヱホバを求めず
14 So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
斯るゆゑにヱホバ一日のうちに首と尾と椶櫚のえだと葦とをイスラエルより斷切たまはん
15 the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
その首とは老たるもの尊きもの その尾とは謊言をのぶる預言者をいふなり
16 And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
この民をみちびく者はこれを迷はせその引導をうくる者はほろぶるなり
17 Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
このゆゑに主はその少壯者をよろこびたまはず その孤兒と寡婦とを憐みたまはざるべし 是その民はことごとく邪まなり惡をおこなふ者なり おのおのの口は愚かなる言をかたればなり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
18 And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
惡は火のごとくもえ棘と荊とを食つくし茂りあふ林をやくべければみな煙となりむらがりて上騰らん
19 The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
萬軍のヱホバの怒によりて地はくろく燒 その民は火のもえくさとなり人々たがひに相憐むことなし
20 But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
人みぎに攫めどもなほ饑 ひだりに食へども尚あかず おのおのその腕の肉をくらふべし
21 For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
マナセはエフライムを エフライムはマナセをくらひ 又かれら相合てユダを攻めん 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
