< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
アモツの子イザヤが示されたるユダとヱルサレムとにかかる言
2 In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
すゑの日にヱホバの家の山はもろもろの山のいただきに堅立ち もろもろの嶺よりもたかく擧り すべての國は流のごとく之につかん
3 People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
おほくの民ゆきて相語いはん 率われらヱホバの山にのぼりヤコブの神の家にゆかん神われらにその道ををしヘ給はん われらその路をあゆむべしと そは律法はシオンよりいでヱホバの言はヱルサレムより出べければなり
4 The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
ヱホバはもろもろの國のあひだを鞫き おほくの民をせめたまはん 斯てかれらはその劒をうちかへて鋤となし その鎗をうちかへて鎌となし 國は國にむかひて劒をあげず戰鬪のことを再びまなばざるべし
5 Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
ヤコブの家よきたれ 我儕ヱホバの光にあゆまん
6 For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
主よなんぢはその民ヤコブの家をすてたまへり 此はかれらのなかに東のかたの風俗みち 皆ぺリシテ人のごとく陰陽師となり 異邦人のともがらと手をうちて盟をたてしが故なり
7 Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
かれらの國には黄金白銀みちて財寶の數かぎりなし かれらの國には馬みちて戰車のかず限りなし
8 Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
かれらの國には偶像みち皆おのが手の工その指のつくれる者ををがめり
9 These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
賤しきものは屈められ尊きものは卑せらる かれらを容したまふなかれ
10 Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
なんぢ岩間にいりまた土にかくれてヱホバの畏るべき容貌とその稜威の光輝とをさくべし
11 Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
この日には目をあげて高ぶるもの卑せられ 驕る人かがめられ唯ヱホバのみ高くあげられ給はん
12 The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
そは萬軍のヱホバの一の日あり すべて高ぶる者おごる者みづからを崇るものの上にのぞみて之をひくくし
13 He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
またレバノンのたかく聳たるすべての香柏バシャンのすべての橿樹
14 He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
もろもろの高山もろもろの聳えたる嶺
15 He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
すべてのたかき櫓すべての堅固なる石垣
16 He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
およびタルシシのすべての舟すべての慕ふべき美はしきものに臨むべし
17 The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
この日には高ぶる者はかがめられ 驕る人はひくくせられ 唯ヱホバのみ高くあげられ給はん
18 Idols will completely vanish away.
かくて偶像はことごとく亡びうすべし
19 People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
ヱホバたちて地を震動したまふとき人々そのおそるべき容貌とその稜威の光輝とをさけて巌の洞と地の穴とにいらん
20 On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
その日人々おのが拝せんとて造れる白銀ぐうざうと黄金のぐうざうとを鼹鼠のあな蝙蝠の穴になげすて
21 They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
岩々の隙けはしき山峽にいりヱホバの起て地をふるひうごかしたまふその畏るべき容貌と稜威のかがやきとを避ん
22 Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
なんぢら鼻より息のいでいりする人に倚ることをやめよ斯るものは何ぞかぞふるに足らん
