Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
アモツの子イザヤがユダとエルサレムについて示された言葉。
2 And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
終りの日に次のことが起る。主の家の山は、もろもろの山のかしらとして堅く立ち、もろもろの峰よりも高くそびえ、すべて国はこれに流れてき、
3 And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
多くの民は来て言う、「さあ、われわれは主の山に登り、ヤコブの神の家へ行こう。彼はその道をわれわれに教えられる、われわれはその道に歩もう」と。律法はシオンから出、主の言葉はエルサレムから出るからである。
4 And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
彼はもろもろの国のあいだにさばきを行い、多くの民のために仲裁に立たれる。こうして彼らはそのつるぎを打ちかえて、すきとし、そのやりを打ちかえて、かまとし、国は国にむかって、つるぎをあげず、彼らはもはや戦いのことを学ばない。
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
ヤコブの家よ、さあ、われわれは主の光に歩もう。
6 For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
あなたはあなたの民ヤコブの家を捨てられた。これは彼らが東の国からの占い師をもって満たし、ペリシテびとのように占い者となり、外国人と同盟を結んだからである。
7 Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
彼らの国には金銀が満ち、その財宝は限りない。また彼らの国には馬が満ち、その戦車も限りない。
8 And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
また彼らの国には偶像が満ち、彼らはその手のわざを拝み、その指で作ったものを拝む。
9 And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
こうして人はかがめられ、人々は低くされる。どうか彼らをおゆるしにならぬように。
10 Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
あなたは岩の間にはいり、ちりの中にかくれて、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避けよ。
11 The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
その日には目をあげて高ぶる者は低くせられ、おごる人はかがめられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
12 Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
これは、万軍の主の一日があって、すべて誇る者と高ぶる者、すべておのれを高くする者と得意な者とに臨むからである。
13 And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
またレバノンの高くそびえるすべての香柏、バシャンのすべてのかしの木、
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
またすべての高い山々、すべてのそびえ立つ峰々、
15 And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
すべての高きやぐら、すべての堅固な城壁、
16 And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
タルシシのすべての船、すべての麗しい船舶に臨む。
17 And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
その日には高ぶる者はかがめられ、おごる人は低くせられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
18 And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
こうして偶像はことごとく滅びうせる。
19 And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
主が立って地を脅かされるとき、人々は岩のほら穴にはいり、また地の穴にはいって、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
20 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.
その日、人々は拝むためにみずから造ったしろがねの偶像と、こがねの偶像とを、もぐらもちと、こうもりに投げ与え、
21 And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
岩のほら穴や、がけの裂け目にはいり、主が立って地を脅かされるとき、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
22 Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
あなたがたは鼻から息の出入りする人に、たよることをやめよ、このような者はなんの価値があろうか。
