Isaiah 59
1 Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear;
ヱホバの手はみぢかくして救ひえざるにあらず その耳はにぶくして聞えざるにあらず
2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he doth not hear.
惟なんぢらの邪曲なる業なんぢらとなんぢらの神との間をへだてたり 又なんぢらの罪その面をおほひて聞えざらしめたり
3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:
そはなんぢらの手は血にてけがれ なんぢらの指はよこしまにて汚れ なんぢらのくちびるは虚僞をかたり なんぢらの舌は惡をささやき
4 none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trust in vanity, and speak falsehood; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
その一人だに正義をもてうつたへ眞實をもて論らふものなし 彼らは虚浮をたのみ虚僞をかたり 惡しきくはだてをはらみ不義をうむ
5 They hatch serpents' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
かれらは蝮の卵をかへし蛛網をおる その卵をくらふものは死るなり 卵もし踐るればやぶれて毒蛇をいだす
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
その織るところは衣になすあたはず その工をもて身をおほふこと能はず かれらの工はよこしまの工なり かれらの手には暴虐のおこなひあり
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths;
かれらの足はあくにはしり罪なき血をながすに速し かれらの思念はよこしまの思念なり 殘害と滅亡とその路徑にのこれり
8 the way of peace they know not, and there is no judgment in their goings; they have made their paths crooked: whoso goeth therein knoweth not peace.
彼らは平穩なる道をしらず その過るところに公平なく又まがれる小徑をつくる 凡てこれを踐ものは平穩をしらず
9 Therefore is justice far from us, and righteousness overtaketh us not: we wait for light, and behold darkness; for brightness, [but] we walk in obscurity.
このゆゑに公平はとほくわれらをはなれ正義はわれらに追及ず われら光をのぞめど暗をみ 光輝をのぞめど闇をゆく
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at midday as in the twilight; amongst the flourishing we are as the dead.
われらは瞽者のごとく牆をさぐりゆき目なき者のごとく模りゆき正午にても日暮のごとくにつまづき 強壯なる者のなかにありても死るもののごとし
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn grievously like doves: we look for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, [but] it is far from us.
我儕はみな熊のごとくにほえ鴿のごとくに甚くうめき 審判をのぞめどもあることなく 救をのぞめども遠くわれらを離る
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us; and our iniquities, we know them:
われらの愆はなんぢの前におほく われらのつみは證してわれらを訟へ われらのとがは我らとともに在り われらの邪曲なる業はわれら自らしれり
13 in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
われら罪ををかしてヱホバを棄われらの神にはなれてしたがはず 暴虐と悖逆とをかたり虚僞のことばを心にはらみて説出すなり
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbleth in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
公平はうしろに退けられ正義ははるかに立り そは 眞實は衢間にたふれ 正直はいることを得ざればなり
15 And truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw [it], and it was evil in his sight that there was no judgment.
眞實はかけてなく惡をはなるるものは掠めうばはる／ヱホバこれを見てその公平のなかりしを悦びたまはざりき
16 And he saw that there was no man, and he wondered that there was no intercessor; and his arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness, it sustained him.
ヱホバは人なきをみ中保なきを奇しみたまへり 斯てその臂をもてみづから助け その義をもてみづから支たまへり
17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
ヱホバ義をまとひて護胸とし救をその頭にいただきて兜となし 仇をまとひて衣となし 熱心をきて外服となしたまへり
18 According to deeds, so will he repay: fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
かれらの作にしたがひて報をなし敵にむかひていかり仇にむかひて報をなし また島々にむくいをなし給はん
19 And they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and from the rising of the sun, his glory. When the adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah will lift up a banner against him.
西方にてヱホバの名をおそれ 日のいづる所にてその榮光をおそるべし ヱホバは堰ぎとめたる河のその氣息にふき潰えたるがごとくに來りたまふ可ればなり
20 And the Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.
ヱホバのたまはく贖者シオンにきたりヤコブのなかの愆をはなるる者につかんと
21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
ヱホバいひ給く なんぢの上にあるわが靈なんぢの口におきたるわがことばは 今よりのち永遠になんぢの口よりなんぢの裔の口より汝のすゑの裔の口よりはなれざるべし わがかれらにたつる契約はこれなりと此はヱホバのみことばなり
