< Isaiah 36 >

1 In the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, attacked and conquered all the fortified towns of Judah.
ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアツスリヤの王セナケリブ上りきたりてユダのもろもろの堅固なる邑をせめとれり
2 The king of Assyria sent his army general, along with a large army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. He stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer's Field.
アツスリヤ王ラキシよりラブシヤケをヱルサレムに遣はし大軍をひきゐてヒゼキヤ王のもとに往しむ ラブシヤケ漂工の野のおほぢの傍なる上の池の樋にそひてたてり
3 Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went out to speak with him.
この時ヒゼキヤの子なる家司エリアキム 書記セブナ、アサフの子なる史官ヨア出てこれを迎ふ
4 The Assyrian army general said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What are you trusting in that gives you such confidence?
ラブシヤケかれらにいひけるは なんぢら今ヒゼキヤにいへ大王アツスリヤの王かくいへり なんぢの恃とするその恃むところは何なるか
5 You say you have a strategy and are ready for war, but these are empty words. Who are you relying on, now that you have rebelled against me?
我いふ なんぢが説ところの軍のはかりごととその能力とはただ口唇のことばのみ 今なんぢ誰によりたのみて我にさかふことをなすや
6 Now look! You're trusting in Egypt, a walking stick that's like a broken reed that will cut the hand of anyone leaning on it. That's what Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is like to everyone who trusts in him.
視よなんぢエジプトに依賴めり これ傷める葦の杖によりたのめるがごとし もし人これに倚もたれなばその手をつきさされん エジプト王パロがすべて己によりたのむものに對するは斯のごとし
7 If you tell me, ‘We're trusting in the Lord our God,’ well didn't Hezekiah remove his high places and his altars, telling Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You have to worship at this altar in Jerusalem’?
汝われらはわれらの神ヱホバに依賴めりと我にいはんかそは曩にヒゼキヤが高きところと祭壇とをみな取去てユダとヱルサレムとにむかひ汝等ここなる一つの祭壇のまへにて拜すべしといへる夫ならずや
8 Why don't you accept a challenge from my master, the king of Assyria? He says, I'll give you two thousand horses, if you can find enough riders for them!
いま請わが君アツスリヤ王に賭をせよ われ汝に二千の馬を與ふべければ汝よりこれに乗ものをいだせ 果して出しうべしや
9 How could you defeat even a single officer in charge of the weakest of my master's men when you're trusting in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
然ばいかで我君のいとちひさき僕の長一人をだに退くることを得んや なんぞエジプトによりたのみて戰車と騎兵とをえんとするや
10 More than that—would I have come to attack this place without the Lord's encouragement? It was the Lord himself who told me, ‘Go and attack this land and destroy it.’”
いま我のぼりきたりてこの國をせめほろぼすはヱホバの旨にあらざるべけんや ヱホバわれにいひたまはく のぼりゆきてこの國をせめぼろぼせと
11 Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah, said to the army general, “Please speak to us, your servants, in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew while the people on the wall are listening.”
爰にエリアキムとセブナとヨアと共にラブシヤケにいひけるは請スリアの方言にて僕輩にかたれ我儕これをさとりうるなり石垣のうへなる民のきくところにてはユダヤの方言をもてわれらに語るなかれ
12 But the army general replied, “Did my master only send me to say these things to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall? They too, just like you, are going to have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine!”
ラブシヤケいひけるは わが君はこれらのことをなんぢの君となんぢとにのみ語らんために我をつかはししならんや なんぢらと共におのが糞をくらひおのが溺をのまんとする石垣のうへに坐する人々にも我をつかはししならずや
13 Then the army general shouted out in Hebrew, “Listen to this from the great king, the king of Assyria!
斯てラブシヤケたちてユダヤの方言もて大聲によばはりいひけるは なんぢら大王アツスリヤ王のことばをきくべし
14 This is what the king says: Don't let Hezekiah trick you! He can't save you!
王かくのたまへり なんぢらヒゼキヤに惑はさるるなかれ 彼なんぢらを救ふことあたはず
15 Don't believe Hezekiah when he tells you to trust in the Lord, saying, ‘I'm certain the Lord will save us. This city will never fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.’
ヒゼキヤがなんぢらをヱホバに賴しめんとする言にしたがふなかれ 彼いへらく ヱホバかならず我儕をすくひこの邑はアツスリヤ王の手にわたさるることなしと
16 Don't listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king says: Make a peace treaty with me and surrender to me. That way everyone will eat from their own vine and their own fig tree, and drink water from their own well!
ヒゼキヤに聽從ふなかれ アツスリヤ王かくのたまへり なんぢらわれと親和をなし出できたりて我にくだれ おのおのその葡萄とその無花果とをくらひ かのおのその井の水をのむことを得べし
17 I will come and take you to a land that's like your own, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
遂には我きたりて汝等をほかの國にたづさへゆかん その國はなんぢの國のごとき國にして 穀物 ぶだう酒 パンおよび葡萄園あり
18 But don't let Hezekiah trick you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have any of the gods of any nation ever saved their land from the power of the king of Assyria?
おそらくはをヒゼキヤなんぢらに説てヱホバわれらを救ふべしといはん 然どももろもろの國の神等のなかにその國をアツスリヤ王の手より救へる者ありしや
19 Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim? Were they able to save Samaria from me?
ハマテ、アルバデの神等いづこにありや セバルワイムの神等いづこにありや 又わが手よりサマリヤを救出しし神ありや
20 Which one of all the gods of these countries has saved their land from me? How then could the Lord save Jerusalem from me?”
これらの國のもろもろの神のなかに誰かその國をわが手よりすくひいだしし者ありや さればヱホバも何でわが手よりヱルサレムを救ひいだし得んと
21 But the people remained silent and didn't say anything, for Hezekiah had given the order, “Don't answer him.”
如此ありければ民は默して一言をもこたへざりき そは之にこたふるなかれとの王のおほせありつればなり
22 Then Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebna the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they told him what the Assyrian army general had said.
そのときヒルキヤの子なる家司エリアキム書記セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨアころもを裂てヒゼキヤにゆき之にラブシヤケの言をつげたり
