Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
わが扶くるわが僕わが心よろこぶわが撰人をみよ 我わが靈をかれにあたへたり かれ異邦人に道をしめすべし
2 He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
かれは叫ぶことなく聲をあぐることなくその聲を街頭にきこえしめず
3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
また傷める蘆ををることなくほのくらき燈火をけすことなく 眞理をもて道をしめさん
4 He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
かれは衰へず喪膽せずして道を地にたてをはらん もろもろの島はその法言をまちのぞむべし
5 Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
天をつくりてこれをのべ 地とそのうへの產物とをひらき そのうへの民に息をあたへ その中をあゆむものに靈をあたへたまふ神ヱホバかく言給ふ
6 I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
云くわれヱホバ公義をもてなんぢを召たり われなんぢの手をとり汝をまもり なんぢを民の契約とし異邦人のひかりとなし
7 That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
而して瞽の目を開き俘囚を獄よりいだし 暗にすめるものを檻のうちより出さしめん
8 I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
われはヱホバなり是わが名なり 我はわが榮光をほかの者にあたへず わがほまれを偶像にあたへざるなり
9 The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
さきに預言せるところはや成れり 我また新しきことをつげん 事いまだ兆さざるさきに我まづなんぢらに聞せんと
10 Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
海にうかぶもの 海のなかに充るもの もろもろの島およびその民よ ヱホバにむかひて新しき歌をうたひ 地の極よりその頌美をたたへまつれ
11 Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
荒野とその中のもろもろの邑とケダル人のすめるもろもろの村里はこゑをあげよ セラの民はうたひて山のいただきよりよばはれ
12 They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
榮光をヱホバにかうぶらせ その頌美をもろもろの島にて語りつげよ
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
ヱホバ勇士のごとく出たまふ また戰士のごとく熱心をおこし 聲をあげてよばはり大能をあらはして仇をせめ給はん
14 I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
われ久しく聲をいださず默して己をおさへたり 今われ子をうまんとする婦人のごとく叫ばん 我いきづかしくかつ喘がん
15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
われ山と岡とをあらし且すべてその上の木草をからし もろもろの河を島としもろもろの池を涸さん
16 And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
われ瞽者をその未だしらざる大路にゆかしめ その未だしらざる徑をふましめ 暗をその前に光となし 曲れるをその前になほくすべし 我これらの事をおこなひて彼らをすてじ
17 They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
刻みたる偶像にたのみ鑄たる偶像にむかひて汝等はわれらの神なりといふものは退けられて大に恥をうけん
18 Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
聾者よきけ 瞽者よ眼をそそぎてみよ
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
瞽者はたれぞ わが僕にあらずや 誰かわがつかはせる使者の如き瞽者あらんや 誰かわが友の如きめしひあらんや 誰かヱホバの僕のごときめしひあらんや
20 Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
汝おほくのことを見れども顧みず 耳をひらけども聞ざるなり
21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
ヱホバおのれ義なるがゆゑに大にしてたふとき律法をたまふをよろこび給へり
22 But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
然るにこの民はかすめられ奪はれて みな穴中にとらはれ獄のなかに閉こめらる 斯てその掠めらるるを助くる者なく その奪はれたるを償へといふ者なし
23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
なんぢらのうち誰かこのことに耳をかたぶけん たれか心をもちゐて後のために之をきかん
24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
ヤコブを奪はせしものは誰ぞ かすむる者にイスラエルをわたしし者はたれぞ 是ヱホバにあらずや われらヱホバに罪ををかし その道をあゆまず その律法にしたがふことを好まざりき
25 And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
この故にヱホバ烈しき怒をかたぶけ 猛きいくさをきたらせ その烈しきこと火の如く四圍にもゆれども彼しらず その身に焚せまれども心におかざりき
