< Isaiah 57 >

1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
義者ほろぶれども心にとむる人なく 愛しみ深き人々とりさらるれども義きものの禍害のまへより取去るるなるを悟るものなし
2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
かれは平安にいり 直きをおこなふ者はその寐床にやすめり
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
なんぢら巫女の子 淫人また妓女の裔よ 近ききたれ
4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
なんぢら誰にむかひて戯れをなすや 誰にむかひて口をひらき舌をのばすや なんぢらは悖逆の子輩いつはりの黨類にあらずや
5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
なんぢらは橿樹のあひだ緑りなる木々のしたに心をこがし 谷のなか岩の狹間に子をころせり
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
なんぢは谷のなかの滑かなる石をうくべき嗣業とし これをなんぢが所有とす なんぢ亦これに灌祭をなし之にそなへものを献げたり われ之によりていかで心をなだむべしや
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.
なんぢは高くそびえたる山の上になんぢの床をまうけ かつ其處にのぼりゆきて犠牲をささげたり
8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.
また戸および柱のうしろに汝の記念をおけり なんぢ我をはなれて他人に身をあらはし 登りゆきてその床をひろくし かれらと誓をなし 又かれらの床を愛し これがためにその所をえらびたり
9 And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢ香膏とおほくの薫物とをたづさへて王にゆき 又なんぢの使者をとほきにつかはし陰府にまで己をひくくせり (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
なんぢ途のながきに疲れたれどなほ望なしといはず なんぢ力をいきかへされしによりて衰弱ざりき
11 For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.
なんぢ誰をおそれ誰のゆゑに慴きていつはりをいひ 我をおもはず亦そのことを心におかざりしや われ久しく默したれど汝かへりて我をおそれざりしにあらずや
12 I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.
我なんぢの義をつげしめさん なんぢの作はなんぢに益せじ
13 When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.
なんぢ呼るときその集めおきたるもの汝をすくへ 風はかれらを悉くあげさり 息はかれらを吹さらん 然どわれに依賴むものは地をつぎわが聖山をうべし
14 And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
また人いはん 土をもり土をもりて途をそなへよ わが民のみちより躓礙をとりされと
15 For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
至高く至上なる永遠にすめるもの聖者となづくるもの如此いひ給ふ 我はたかき所きよき所にすみ 亦こころ碎けてへりくだる者とともにすみ 謙だるものの靈をいかし碎けたるものの心をいかす
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.
われ限なくは爭はじ我たえずは怒らじ 然らずば人のこころ我がまへにおとろへん わが造りたる靈はみな然らん
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.
彼のむさぼりの罪により我いかりて之をうちまた面をおほひて怒りたり 然るになほ悖りて己がこころの途にゆけり
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
されど我その途をみたり 我かれを愈すべし 又かれを導きてふたたび安慰をかれとその中のかなしめる者とにかへすべし
19 I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
我くちびるの果をつくれり 遠きものにも近きものにも平安あれ平安あれ 我かれをいやさん 此はヱホバのみことばなり
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.
然はあれど惡者はなみだつ海のごとし 靜かなること能はずしてその水つねに濁と泥とをいだせり
21 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
わが神いひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなしと

< Isaiah 57 >
