Isaiah 14
1 Her time is drawing near, and her days will not be prolonged. For the Lord will take pity on Jacob, and he will still choose from Israel, and he will cause them to rest upon their own soil. And the new arrival will be joined to them, and he will adhere to the house 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, and lead them to their place. And the house of Israel will possess them, in the land of the Lord, as men and women servants. And they will take captive those who had taken them captive. And they will subjugate their oppressors.
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 this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,
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 you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?
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 Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,
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 which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.
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 has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.
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 The evergreens, too, have rejoiced over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: ‘Since you have slept, no one has ascended who would cut us down.’
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 Hell below was stirred up to meet you at your advent; it has awakened the giants for you. All the leaders of the earth have risen from their thrones, all the leaders among the nations.” (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 Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.
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 arrogance has been dragged down to Hell. Your body has fallen dead. The moths will be strewn beneath you, and the worms will be your covering. (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 is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?
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 And you said in your heart: ‘I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.
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 ascend above the tops of 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
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 lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: ‘Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook 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 into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’”
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 nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own 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 have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.
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 You will not be associated with them, even in the grave. For you have destroyed your own land; you have slain your own people. The offspring of the wicked ones will not be called upon for eternity.
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 Prepare his sons for the slaughter, according to the iniquity of their fathers. They will not rise up, nor inherit the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
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 But I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts. And I will perish the name of Babylon and its remnants: both the plant and its progeny, 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 appoint it as a possession for the hedgehog, with swamps of water. And I will sweep it out and wear it away with a brush, says the Lord of hosts.
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 of hosts has sworn, saying: Surely, just as I have considered it, so shall it be, and in the same manner as I have drawn it through my mind,
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 so shall it occur. So shall I crush the Assyrian in my land, and I will trample him upon my mountains, and his yoke will be taken away from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulder.
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 plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the 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 the Lord of hosts has decreed it, and who is able to weaken it? And his hand is extended, so who can avert it?
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 in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:
アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
29 You should not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod of him who struck you has been crushed. For from the root of the serpent will go forth a king snake, and his offspring will engulf that which flies.
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 firstborn of the poor will be pastured, and the poor will rest in faithfulness. And I will cause your root to pass away by famine, and I will put to death your remnant.
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 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! All of Philistia has been prostrated. For a smoke will arrive from the north, and there is no one who will escape his army.
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 And what will be the response to this news among the nations? It will be that the Lord has established Zion, and that the poor of his people will hope in him.
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
