Isaiah 55
1 All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price.
噫なんぢら渇ける者ことごとく水にきたれ 金なき者もきたるべし 汝等きたりてかひ求めてくらへ きたれ金なく價なくして葡萄酒と乳とをかへ
2 Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness.
なにゆゑ糧にもあらぬ者のために金をいだし 飽ことを得ざるもののために勞するや われに聽從へ さらばなんぢら美物をくらふをえ脂をもてその靈魂をたのしまするを得ん
3 Incline your ear and come to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.
耳をかたぶけ我にきたりてきけ 汝等のたましひは活べし われ亦なんぢらととこしへの契約をなしてダビデに約せし變らざる惠をあたへん
4 Behold I have given him for a witness to the people, for a leader and a master to the Gentiles.
視よわれ彼をたててもろもろの民の證とし又もろもろの民の君となし命令する者となせり
5 Behold thou shalt call a nation, which thou knewest not: and the nations that knew not thee shall run to thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
なんぢは知ざる國民をまねかん 汝をしらざる國民はなんぢのもとに走りきたらん 此はなんぢの神ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者のゆゑによりてなり ヱホバなんぢを尊くしたまへり
6 Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found: call upon him, while he is near.
なんぢら遇ことをうる間にヱホバを尋ねよ 近くゐたまふ間によびもとめよ
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.
惡きものはその途をすて よこしまなる人はその思念をすててヱホバに反れ さらば憐憫をほどこしたまはん 我等の神にかへれ豐に赦をあたへ給はん
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
ヱホバ宣給くわが思はなんぢらの思とことなり わが道はなんぢらのみちと異なれり
9 For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
天の地よりたかきがごとく わが道はなんぢらの道よりも高く わが思はなんぢらの思よりもたかし
10 And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
天より雨くだり雪おちて復かへらず 地をうるほして物をはえしめ 萌をいださしめて播ものに種をあたへ 食ふものに糧をあたふ
11 So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.
如此わが口よりいづる言もむなしくは我にかへらず わが喜ぶところを成し わが命じ遣りし事をはたさん
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall sing praise before yen, and all the trees of the country shall clap their hands.
なんぢらは喜びて出きたり平穩にみちびかれゆくべし山と岡とは聲をはなちて前にうたひ野にある樹はみな手をうたん
13 Instead of the shrub, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle tree: and the Lord shall be named for an everlasting sign, that shall not be taken away.
松樹はいばらにかはりてはえ岡拈樹は棘にかはりてはゆべし 此はヱホバの頌美となり並とこしへの徴となりて絶ることなからん
