< Isaiah 51 >
1 Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock [whence] ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye were digged.
義をおひ求めヱホバを尋ねもとむるものよ我にきけ なんぢらが斫出されたる磐となんぢらの掘出されたる穴とをおもひ見よ
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him when he was alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
なんぢらの父アブラハム及びなんぢらを生たるサラをおもひ見よ われ彼をその唯一人なりしときに召しこれを祝してその子孫をまし加へたり
3 For Jehovah shall comfort Zion, he shall comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.
そはヱホバ、シオンを慰め またその凡てあれたる所をなぐさめて その荒野をエデンのごとくその沙漠をヱホバの園のごとくなしたまへり 斯てその中によろこびと歡樂とあり感謝とうたうたふ聲とありてきこゆ
4 Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will establish my judgment for a light of the peoples.
わが民よわが言にこころをとめよ わが國人よわれに耳をかたぶけよ 律法はわれより出づ われわが途をかたく定めてもろもろの民の光となさん
5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples: the isles shall wait for me, and in mine arm shall they trust.
わが義はちかづきわが救はすでに出たり わが臂はもろもろの民をさばかん もろもろの島はわれを俟望み わがかひなに依賴ん
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
なんぢら目をあげて天を觀また下なる地をみよ 天は烟のごとくきえ地は衣のごとくふるびその中にすむ者これとひとしく死ん されどわが救はとこしへにながらへ わが義はくだくることなし
7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their revilings.
義をしるものよ心のうちにわが律法をたもつ民よ われにきけ 人のそしりをおそるるなかれ人のののしりに慴くなかれ
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
そはかれら衣のごとく蠧にはまれ羊の毛のごとく蟲にはまれん されどわが義はとこしへに存らへ わがすくひ萬代におよぶべし
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, [as in] the generations of passed ages. Is it not thou that hath hewn Rahab in pieces, [and] pierced the monster?
さめよ醒よヱホバの臂よちからを着よ さめて古への時むかしの代にありし如くなれ ラハブをきりころし鱷をさしつらぬきたるは汝にあらずや
10 Is it not thou that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
海をかわかし大なる淵の水をかわかし また海のふかきところを贖はれたる人のすぐべき路となししは汝にあらずや
11 So the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
ヱホバに贖ひすくはれしもの歌うたひつつ歸りてシオンにきたり その首にとこしへの歡喜をいただきて快樂とよろこびとをえん 而してかなしみと歎息とはにげさるべし
12 I, [even] I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou fearest a man that shall die, and the son of man that shall become as grass;
我こそ我なんぢらを慰むれ 汝いかなる者なれば死べき人をおそれ草の如くなるべき人の子をおそるるか
13 and forgettest Jehovah thy Maker, who hath stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and thou art afraid continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepareth to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
いかなれば天をのべ地の基をすゑ汝をつくりたまへるヱホバを忘れしや 何なれば汝をほろぼさんとて豫備する虐ぐるものの憤れるをみて常にひねもす懼るるか 虐ぐるものの忿恚はいづこにありや
14 He that is bowed down shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
身をかがめゐる俘囚はすみやかに解れて 死ることなく穴にくだることなく その食はつくること無るべし
15 And I am Jehovah thy God, who raiseth the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
我は海をふるはせ波をなりどよめかする汝の神ヱホバなり その御名を萬軍のヱホバといふ
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and covered thee with the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens, and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
我わが言をなんぢの口におきわが手のかげにて汝をおほへり かくてわれ天をうゑ地の基をすゑ シオンにむかひて汝はわが民なりといはん
17 Arouse thyself, arouse thyself, stand up, Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury. Thou hast drunk, hast drained out the goblet-cup of bewilderment:
ヱルサレムよさめよさめよ起よ なんぢ前にヱホバの手よりその忿恚のさかづきをうけて飮み よろめかす大杯をのみ且すひほしたり
18 — there is none to guide her among all the children that she hath brought forth; neither is there any to take her by the hand of all the children that she hath brought up.
なんぢの生るもろもろの子のなかに汝をみちびく者なく 汝のそだてたるもろもろの子の中にてなんぢの手をたづさふる者なし
19 These two [things] are come unto thee; who will bemoan thee? — desolation and destruction, and famine and sword: how shall I comfort thee?
この二のこと汝にのぞめり誰かなんぢのために歎んや 荒廢の饑饉ほろびの劍なんぢに及べり我いかにして汝をなぐさめんや
20 Thy children have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an oryx in a net: they are full of the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
なんぢの子らは息たえだえにして網にかかれる羚羊のごとくし街衢の口にふす ヱホバの忿恚となんぢの神のせめとはかれらに滿たり
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
このゆゑに苦しめるもの酒にあらで酔たるものよ之をきけ
22 thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, and thy God, who pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I take out of thy hand the cup of bewilderment, the goblet-cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
なんぢの主ヱホバおのが民の訟をあげつらひ給ふ なんぢの神かくいひ給ふ 我よろめかす酒杯をなんぢの手より取除き わがいきどほりの大杯をとりのぞきたり 汝ふたたびこれを飮ことあらじ
23 and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
我これを汝をなやますものの手にわたさん 彼らは曩になんぢの靈魂にむかひて云らく なんぢ伏せよわれら越ゆかんと 而してなんぢその背を地のごとくし衢のごとくし彼等のこえゆくに任せたり
