Isaiah 31

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!

助をえんとてエジプトにくだり馬によりたのむものは禍ひなるかな 戰車おほきが故にこれにたのみ騎兵はなはだ强きがゆゑに之にたのむ されどイスラエルの聖者をあふがずヱホバを求ることをせざるなり

2 But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity.

然はあれどもヱホバもまた智慧あるべし かならず禍害をくだしてその言をひるがへしたまはず 起てあしきものの家をせめ また不義を行ふ者の助をせめ給はん

3 And the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.

かのエジプト人は人にして神にあらずその馬は肉にして靈にあらず ヱホバその手をのばしたまはば助くるものも蹟き たすけらるる者もたふれてみなひとしく亡びん

4 For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.

ヱホバ如此われにいひたまふ 獅のほえ壯獅の獲物をつかみてほえたけれるとき 許多のひつじかひ相呼つどひてむかひゆくとも その聲によりて挫けずその喧譁しきによりて臆せざるごとく 萬軍のヱホバくだりてシオンの山およびその岡にて戰ひ給ふべし

5 As birds with outstretched wings, so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem; covering, he will also deliver, passing over, he will rescue [it].

鳥の雛をまもるがごとく萬軍のヱホバはヱルサレムをまもりたまはん これを護りてこれをすくひ踰越てこれを援けたまはん

6 Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, ye children of Israel;

イスラエルの子輩よなんぢらさきには甚だしく主にそむけり 今たちかへるべし

7 for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your sinful hands have made unto you.

なんぢらおのが手につくりて罪ををかしし白銀のぐうざう黄金の偶像をその日おのおのなげすてん

8 And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary;

爰にアツスリヤびとは劍にてたふれん されど人のつるぎにあらず 劍かれらをほろぼさん されど世の人のつるぎにあらず かれら劍のまへより逃はしりその壯きものは役丁とならん

9 and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

かれらの磐はおそれによりて逝去り その君たちは旗をみてくじけん こはヱホバの御言なり ヱホバの火はシオンにありヱホバの爐はヱルサレムにあり
