Isaiah 7
1 It was during the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Aram, marched to attack Jerusalem. Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, joined in the attack, but they couldn't conquer the city.
ウジャの子ヨタムその子ユダヤ王アハズのときアラムの王レヂンとレマリヤの子イスラエル王ペカと上りきたりてヱルサレムを攻しがつひに勝ことあたはざりき
2 When the royal family of Judah was told, “Aram and Ephraim have an alliance,” Ahaz and his people were terrified and they shook like trees in the forest tossed about by the wind.
ここにアラムとエフライムと結合なりたりとダビデの家につぐる者ありければ王のこころと民の心とは林木の風にうごかさるるが如くに動けり
3 Then the Lord told Isaiah, “Take your son Shear-jashub with you and go and meet Ahaz. He'll be at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, by the road to the laundry field.
その時ヱホバ、イザヤに言たまひけるは今なんぢと汝の子シヤルヤシユブと共にいでて布をさらす野の大路のかたはらなる上池の樋口にゆきてアハズを迎へ
4 Tell him, ‘Calm down and keep quiet. Don't be afraid or scared over a couple of smoldering bits of firewood, over the burning anger of Rezin and Aram, and of Remaliah's son.
これに告べしなんぢ謹みて静かなれ アラムのレヂン及びレマリャの子はげしく怒るとも二の燼餘りたる煙れる片柴のごとし懼るるなかれ心をよわくするなかれ
5 Aram has plotted to destroy you together with Ephraim and Remaliah's son saying,
アラム、エフライム及びレマリヤの子なんぢにむかひて惡き謀ごとを企てていふ
6 Let's go and attack Judah! We'll terrorize it and conquer it for ourselves, and make Tabeel's son its king.”
われらユダに攻上りて之をおびやかし我儕のためにこれを破りとりタビエルの子をその中にたてて王とせんと
7 But this is what the Lord God says, “This plan won't materialize—it just won't happen!
されど主ヱホバいひたまはくこの事おこなはれずまた成ことなし
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. In addition, within sixty-five years Israel as a nation will be destroyed.
アラムの首はダマスコ、ダマスコの首はレヂンなり エフライムは六十五年のうちに敗れて國をなさざるべし
9 The head of Israel is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you don't trust in me, then you won't survive.”
またエフライムの首はサマリヤ、サマリヤの首はレマリヤの子なり 若なんぢら信ぜずばかならず立ことを得じと
10 Later the Lord sent another message to Ahaz,
ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
11 “Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether as deep as where people are buried or as high as heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの神ヱホバに一の豫兆をもとめよ或はふかき處あるひは上のたかき處にもとめよ (Sheol h7585)
12 “No, I'm not going to ask,” Ahaz replied. “I refuse to put the Lord to the test.”
アハズいひけるは我これを求めじ 我はヱホバを試むることをせざるべし
13 Then Isaiah said, “Listen, royal family of Judah! Isn't it enough for you to wear people out? Do you have to wear my God out too?
イザヤいひけるはダビデのいへよ請なんぢら聞 なんぢら人をわづらはしこれを小事として亦わが神をも煩はさんとするか
14 This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
この故に主みづから一の豫兆をなんぢらに賜ふべし 視よをとめ孕みて子をうまんその名をインマヌエルと稱ふべし
15 He will eat curds and honey until the time he knows to refuse evil and choose the good.
かれ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知 ころほひにいたりて乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらはん
16 For before the boy knows to refuse evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you're afraid of will be deserted.
そはこの子いまだ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ざるさきになんぢが忌きらふ兩の王の地はすてらるべし
17 The Lord will make you, your people, and the royal family experience a time unlike anything since the day Ephraim split from Judah. He will bring the king of Assyria to attack you!”
ヱホバはエフライムがユダを離れし時よりこのかた臨みしことなき日を汝となんぢの民となんぢの父の家とにのぞませ給はん是アツスリヤの王なり
18 At that time the Lord will whistle to call flies from the distant rivers of Egypt and bees from the country of Assyria.
其日ヱホバ、エジプトなる河々のほとりの蠅をまねきアツスリヤの地の蜂をよびたまはん
19 They will all come and descend on the steep valleys and rock crevices, on all the thorn bushes and waterholes.
皆きたりて荒たるたに岩穴すべての荊棘すべての牧場のうヘに止まるべし
20 At that time the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave you from head to toe, including your beards.
その日主はかはの外ふより雇へるアツスリヤの王を剃刀として首と足の毛とを剃たまはんまた髯をも除きたまふべし
21 At that time a someone who manages to keep a young cow and two sheep alive
その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
22 will eat curds, because they produce so much milk—for everyone who survives in the land will eat curds and honey.
その出すところの乳おほきによりて乳酥をくらふことを得んすべて國のうちに遺れるものは乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらふべし
23 At that time everywhere that once had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels will only have brambles and thorns.
その日千株に銀一千の價をえたる葡萄ありし處もことごとく荊と棘はえいづべし
24 People will go hunting there with bows and arrows because the land will be covered with brambles and thorns.
荊とおどろと地にあまねきがゆゑに人々矢と弓とをもて彼處にゆくなり
25 In fact, all the hills that were once tilled by the hoe you won't want to go to because you'll worry about the brambles and thorns there. They'll just be where cattle are let loose and where sheep roam.
鋤をもて掘たがへしたる山々もいばらと棘のために人おそれてその中にゆくことを得じ その地はただ牛をはなち羊にふましむる處とならん
