< Isaiah 50 >

1 This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
ヱホバかくいひ給ふ わがなんぢらの母をさりたる離書はいづこにありや 我いづれの債主になんぢらを賣わたししや 視よなんぢらはその不義のために賣られ なんぢらの母は汝らの咎戻のために去られたり
2 When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
わがきたりし時なにゆゑ一人もをらざりしや 我よびしとき何故ひとりも答ふるものなかりしや わが手みぢかくして贖ひえざるか われ救ふべき力なからんや 視よわれ叱咤すれば海はかれ河はあれのとなりそのなかの魚は水なきによりかわき死て臭氣をいだすなり
3 I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
われ黑きころもを天にきせ麁布をもて蔽となす
4 The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
主ヱホバは敎をうけしものの舌をわれにあたへ言をもて疲れたるものを扶支ふることを知得しめたまふ また朝ごとに醒しわが耳をさまして敎をうけし者のごとく聞ことを得しめたまふ
5 The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
主ヱホバわが耳をひらき給へり われは逆ふことをせず退くことをせざりき
6 I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
われを撻つものにわが背をまかせわが鬚をぬくものにわが頬をまかせ 恥と唾とをさくるために面をおほふことをせざりき
7 The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
主ヱホバわれを助けたまはん この故にわれ恥ることなかるべし 我わが面を石の如くして恥しめらるることなきを知る
8 The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
われを義とするもの近きにあり たれか我とあらそはんや われら相共にたつべし わが仇はたれぞや近づききたれ
9 The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
主ヱホバわれを助け給はん 誰かわれを罪せんや 視よかれらはみな衣のごとくふるび蠧のためにくひつくされん
10 Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
汝等のうちヱホバをおそれその僕の聲をきくものは誰ぞや 暗をあゆみて光をえざるともヱホバの名をたのみおのれの神にたよれ
11 Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
火をおこし火把を帶るものよ汝等みなその火のほのほのなかをあゆめ 又なんぢらの燃したる火把のなかをあゆめ なんぢら斯のごとき事をわが手よりうけて悲みのうちに臥べし
