Isaiah 25
1 Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
ヱホバよ汝はわが神なり 我なんぢを崇めなんぢの名をほめたたへん 汝さきに妙なる事をおこなひ 古時より定めたることを眞實をもて成たまひたればなり
2 You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
なんぢ邑をかへて石堆となし 堅固なる城を荒墟となし 外人の京都を邑とならしめず永遠にたつることを得ざらしめたまへり
3 Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
この故につよき民はなんぢをあがめ 暴びたる國々の城はなんぢをおそるべし
4 But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
そはなんぢ弱きものの保砦となり 乏しきものの難のときの保砦となり 雨風のふききたりて垣をうつごとく暴ぶるものの荒きたるときの避所となり 熱をさくる蔭となりたまへり
5 like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
なんぢ外人の喧嘩をおさへて旱ける地より熱をとりのぞく如くならしめ 暴ぶるものの凱歌をとどめて雪の陰をもて熱をとどむる如くならしめたまはん
6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
萬軍のヱホバこの山にてもろもろの民のために肥たるものをもて宴をまうけ 久しくたくはへたる葡萄酒をもて宴をまうく 膸おほき肥たるもの久しくたくはへたる清るぶだう酒の宴なり
7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
又この山にてもろもろの民のかぶれる面帕と もろもろの國のおほへる外帔をとりのぞき
8 He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
とこしへまで死を呑たまはん 主ヱホバはすべての面より涙をぬぐひ 全地のうへよりその民の凌辱をのぞき給はん これはヱホバの語りたまへるなり
9 At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
その日此如いはん これはわれらの神なり われら俟望めり 彼われらを救ひたまはん 是ヱホバなり われらまちのぞめり 我儕そのすくひを歡びたのしむべしと
10 The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
ヱホバの手はこの山にとどまり モアブはその處にてあくたの水のなかにふまるる藁のごとく蹂躙られん
11 They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
彼そのなかにて游者のおよがんとして手をのばすが如く己が手をのばさん 然どヱホバその手の脆計とともにその傲慢を伏たまはん
12 Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
なんぢの垣たかき堅固なる城はヱホバかたぶけたふし 地におとして塵にまじへたまはん
