< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
ウジヤの子ヨタムその子ユダヤ王アハズのとき アラムの王レヂンとレマリヤの子イスラエル王ペカと上りきたりてヱルサレムを攻しがつひに勝ことあたはざりき
2 And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
ここにアラムとエフライムと結合なりたりとダビデの家につぐる者ありければ 王のこころと民の心とは林木の風にうごかさるるが如くに動けり
3 And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
その時ヱホバ、イザヤに言たまひけるは今なんぢと汝の子シヤルヤシユブと共にいでて布をさらす野の大路のかたはらなる上池の樋口にゆきてアハズを迎へ
4 and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
これに告べし なんぢ 謹みて靜かなれ アラムのレヂン及びレマリヤの子はげしく怒るとも二の燼餘りたる煙れる片柴のごとし 懼るるなかれ心をよわくするなかれ
5 Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
アラム、エフライム及びレマリヤの子なんぢにむかひて惡き謀ごとを企てていふ
6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
われらユダに攻上りて之をおびやかし我儕のためにこれを破りとり タビエルの子をその中にたてて王とせんと
7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
されど主ヱホバいひたまはく この事おこなはれずまた成ことなし
8 for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
アラムの首はダマスコ、ダマスコの首はレヂンなり エフライムは六十五年のうちに敗れて國をなさざるべし
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
またエフライムの首はサマリヤ、サマリヤの首はレマリヤの子なり 若なんぢら信ぜずばかならず立ことを得じと
10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
11 Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの神ヱホバに一の豫兆をもとめよ 或はふかき處あるひは上のたかき處にもとめよ (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
アハズいひけるは我これを求めじ 我はヱホバを試むることをせざるべし
13 And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
イザヤいひけるは ダビデのいへよ請なんぢら聞 なんぢら人をわづらはしこれを小事として亦わが神をも煩はさんとするか
14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
この故に主みづから一の豫兆をなんぢらに賜ふべし 視よをとめ孕みて子をうまん その名をインマヌエルと稱ふべし
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
かれ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ころほひにいたりて乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらはん
16 For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
そはこの子いまだ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ざるさきになんぢが忌きらふ兩の王の地はすてらるべし
17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
ヱホバはエフライムがユダを離れし時よりこのかた臨みしことなき日を汝となんぢの民となんぢの父の家とにのぞませ給はん是アツスリヤの王なり
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
其日ヱホバ、エジプトなる河々のほとりの蠅をまねきアツスリヤの地の蜂をよびたまはん
19 and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
皆きたりて荒たるたに岩穴すべての荊棘すべての牧場のうへに止まるべし
20 In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
その日主はかはの外ふより雇へるアツスリヤの王を剃刀として首と足の毛とを剃たまはん また髯をも除きたまふべし
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
22 and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
その出すところの乳おほきによりて乳酥をくらふことを得ん すべて國のうちに遺れるものは乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらふべし
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
その日千株に銀一千の價をえたる葡萄ありし處もことごとく荊と棘はえいづべし
24 with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
荊とおどろと地にあまねきがゆゑに人々矢と弓とをもて彼處にゆくなり
25 And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
鋤をもて掘たがへしたる山々もいばらと棘のために人おそれてその中にゆくことを得じ その地はただ牛をはなち羊にふましむる處とならん
