Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious adornment, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine.
酔るものなるエフライム人よなんぢらの誇の冠はわざはひなるかな 酒におぼるるものよ肥たる谷の首にある凋んとする花のうるはしき飾はわざはひなるかな
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail [and] a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might.
みよ主はひとりの力ある强剛者をもち給へり それは雹をまじへたる暴風のごとく壞りそこなふ狂風のごとく大水のあぶれ漲るごとく烈しくかれを地になげうつべし
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet;
酔るものなるエフライム人のほこりの冠は足にて踐にじられん
4 and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down.
肥たる谷のかしらにある凋んとする花のうるはしきかざりは 夏こぬに熟したる初結の無花果のごとし 見るものこれをみて取る手おそしと呑いるるなり
5 In that day will Jehovah of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people;
その日萬軍のヱホバその民ののこれる者のために榮のかんむりとなり美しき冠となり給はん
6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
さばきの席にざするものには審判の靈をあたへ軍を門よりおひかへす者には力をあたへ給ふべし
7 But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are they gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are overpowered by wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they have erred in vision, they have stumbled [in] judgment.
然どかれらも酒によりてよろめき濃酒によりてよろぼひたり 祭司と預言者とは濃酒によりてよろめき 酒にのまれ濃酒によりてよろぼひ 而して默示をみるときにもよろめき審判をおこなふときにも躓けり
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit, so that there is no [more] place.
すべて膳には吐たるものと穢とみちて潔きところなし
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts?
かれは誰にをしへて知識をあたへんとするか 誰にしめして音信を暁らせんとするか 乳をたち懷をはなれたる者にするならんか
10 For [it is] precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. ...
そは誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にもすこしく敎ふ
11 For with stammering lips and a strange tongue will he speak to this people;
このゆゑに神あだし唇と異なる舌とをもてこの民にかたりたまはん
12 to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear.
曩にかれらに言たまひけるは此は安息なり疲困者にやすみをあたへよ 此は安慰なりと されど彼らは聞ことをせざりき
13 And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
斯るがゆゑにヱホバの言かれらにくだりて 誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にも少しくをしへん 之によりて彼等すすみてうしろに仆れそこなはれ罟にかかりて捕へらるべし
14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
なんぢら此ヱルサレムにある民ををさむるところの輕慢者よヱホバの言をきけ
15 For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢらは云り 我ら死と契約をたて陰府とちぎりをむすべり 漲りあふるる禍害のすぐるときわれらに來らじ そはわれら虛僞をもて避所となし欺詐をもて身をかくしたればなりと (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.
このゆゑに神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ 視よわれシオンに一つの石をすゑてその基となせり これは試をへたる石たふとき隅石かたくすゑたる石なり これに依賴むものはあわつることなし
17 And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
われ公平を準繩とし正義を錘とす 斯て雹はいつはりにてつくれる避所をのぞきさり水はその匿れたるところに漲りあふれん
18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
汝らが死とたてし契約はきえうせ陰府とむすべるちぎりは成ことなし されば漲り溢るるわざはひのすぐるとき汝等はこれに踐たふさるべし (Sheol h7585)
19 As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report.
その過るごとになんぢらを捕へん 朝々にすぎ晝も夜もすぐ この音信をきき わきまふるのみにても慴きをるなり
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it.
その狀は床みじかくして身をのぶることあたはず 衾せまくして身をおほふこと能はざるが如し
21 For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act.
そはヱホバ往昔ペラヂムの山にて起たまひしがごとくにたち ギベオンの谷にて忿恚をはなちたまひしが如くにいきどほり 而してその所爲をおこなひ給はん 奇しき所爲なり その工を成たまはん 異なる工なり
22 Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and [one] determined, upon the whole land.
この故になんぢら侮るなかれ 恐くはなんぢらの縲絏きびしくならん 我すでに全地のうへにさだまれる敗亡あるよしを主萬軍のヱホバより聞たればなり
23 Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
なんぢら耳をかたぶけてわが聲をきけ懇ろにわが言をきくべし
24 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he [all day] opening and breaking the clods of his land?
農夫たねをまかんに何で日々たがへし日々その地をすき その土塊をくだくことのみを爲んや
25 Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border?
もし地の面をたひらかにせばいかで罌粟をまき 馬芹の種をおろし 小麥をうねにうゑ 大麥をさだめたる處にうゑ 粗麥を畔にうゑざらんや
26 His God doth instruct him in [his] judgment, he doth teach him.
斯のごときはかれの神これに智慧をあたへて敎へたまへるなり
27 For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.
けしは連耞にてうたず 馬芹はそのうへに車輪をきしらせず罌栗をうつには杖をもちひ 馬芹をうつには棒をもちふ
28 Bread [corn] is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses [over it], he would not crush it.
麥をくだくか否くるまにきしらせ馬にふませて落すことはすれども斷ずしかするにあらず これを碎くことをせざるべし
29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
此もまた萬軍のヱホバよりいづ その謀略はくすしくその智慧はすぐれたり
