Isaiah 1
1 This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
アモツの子イザヤがユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤのときに示されたるユダとヱルサレムとに係る異象
2 Heavens, listen! Earth, pay attention! For the Lord has spoken! I brought up children, I cared for them, but they have rebelled against me.
天よきけ地よ耳をかたぶけよ ヱホバの語りたまふ言あり 曰く われ子をやしなひ育てしにかれらは我にそむけり
3 An ox knows its owner, and a donkey knows its feeding trough; but my people don't know me, they don't understand me.
牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの廐をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
4 What a sinful nation—a people carrying such a load of guilt, an evil generation, corrupt children! They have abandoned the Lord. They have despised Israel's Holy One. They have become strangers. They have gone backwards.
ああ罪ををかせる國人よこしまを負ふたみ 惡をなす者のすゑ壞りそこなふ種族 かれらはヱホバをすてイスラエルの聖者をあなどり之をうとみて退きたり
5 Are you wanting to be punished? Are you going to continue to rebel? The whole of your head is damaged, and your heart is totally giving out.
なんぢら何ぞかさねがさね悖りて猶撻れんとするか その頭はやまざる所なくその心はつかれはてたり
6 You're injured from head to toe, bruised and sore, with open wounds that haven't been cleaned or bandaged or treated with olive oil.
足のうらより頭にいたるまで全きところなくただ創痍と打傷と腫物とのみなり 而してこれを合すものなく包むものなく亦あぶらにて軟らぐる者もなし
7 Your country has been devastated, your towns burned down, your fields stripped bare by foreigners right in front of you, as they turn it all into a wasteland.
なんぢらの國はあれすたれなんぢらの諸邑は火にてやかれなんぢらの田畑はその前にて外人にのまれ既にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shack in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under attack.
シオンの女はぶだうぞのの廬のごとく瓜田の假舎のごとくまた圍をうけたる城のごとく唯ひとり遺れり
9 If the Lord Almighty hadn't let a few of us survive, we would have become like Sodom and Gomorrah.
萬軍のヱホバわれらに少しの遺をとどめ給ふことなくば我儕はソドムのごとく又ゴモラに同じかりしならん
10 Listen to what the Lord has to say, you rulers of Sodom! Pay attention to the instructions of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
なんぢらソドムの有司よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらゴモラの民よわれらの神の律法に耳をかたぶけよ
11 What use are all your many sacrifices to me? asks the Lord. I am sick and tired of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of sacrificial animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats!
ヱホバ言たまはくなんぢらが獻ぐるおほくの犠牲はわれに何の益あらんや我はをひつじの燔祭とこえたるけものの膏とにあけり われは牡牛あるひは小羊あるひは牡山羊の血をよろこばず
12 When you come to appear before me in worship, who asked you to proudly tramp around my courts?
なんぢらは我に見えんとてきたる このことを誰がなんぢらに要めしや 徒らにわが庭をふむのみなり
13 Don't bring me any more meaningless offerings; your incense is offensive to me. Your new moon festivals and Sabbath observations and your calling of special religious meetings—I can't stand them because they're evil, as are your solemn assemblies.
むなしき祭物をふたたび携ふることなかれ 燻物はわがにくむところ 新月および安息日また會衆をよびあつむることも我がにくむところなり なんぢらは聖會に惡を兼ぬ われ容すにたへず
14 I detest your new moon and yearly festivals with my whole being! They've become just a burden to me—I can't bear them anymore!
わが心はなんぢらの新月と節會とをきらふ 是わが重荷なりわれ負にうみたり
15 When you hold up your hands to me in prayer, I'll look away. Even though you pray many prayers, I won't pay attention to them, because your hands are full of blood.
我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈祷をなすときも聞ことをせじ なんぢらの手には血みちたり
16 Wash yourselves and clean yourselves up. Get rid of your sins—I don't want to see them! Stop doing evil!
なんぢら己をあらひ己をきょくしわが眼前よりその惡業をさり惡をおこなふことを止め
17 Learn to do good; strive for justice, condemn those who oppress others; support the rights of orphans, take up cases to defend widows.
善をおこなふことをならひ 公平をもとめ虐げらるる者をたすけ 孤児に公平をおこなひ寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
18 Come on, let's argue this out, says the Lord. Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow. Even though they are red like crimson, they will become like wool.
ヱホバいひたまはく 率われらともに論らはん なんぢらの罪は緋のごとくなるも雪のごとく白くなり紅のごとく赤くとも羊の毛のごとくにならん
19 If you really want this, and if you do as you're told, then you yourselves will eat the best things that the land produces.
若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美産をくらふことを得べし
20 But if you are defiant, and if you are rebellious, you'll be killed by the sword. This is what the Lord has declared!
もし汝等こばみそむかば劍にのまるべし 此はヱホバその御口よりかたりたまヘるなり
21 The city that used to be faithful has turned into a prostitute! Once she operated on principles of justice and followed what was right, but now only murderers live there.
忠信なりし邑いかにして妓女とはなれる 昔しは公平にてみち正義その中にやどりしに今は人をころす者ばかりとなりぬ
22 Your silver has become worthless waste; you wine has been watered down.
なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢ葡萄酒は水をまじへ
23 Your leaders are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and want to get kickbacks. They don't defend the rights of orphans, and refuse to take cases to help widows.
なんぢの長輩はそむきて盗人の伴侶となり おのおの賄賂をよろこび贈財をおひもとめ 孤児に公平をおこなはず寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづるとと能はず
24 So this is what the Lord says, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will take satisfaction in punishing my enemies, by paying back those who hate me!
このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの全能者のたまはく 唆われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
25 I will turn against you. I will refine you in a furnace, removing all impurities.
我また手をなんぢの上にそへ なんぢの滓をことごとく淨くし なんぢの鉛をすべて取去り
26 I will give you good leaders as you used to have before, wise counselors as you had in the beginning. After that you will once again be called the City of Integrity, the Faithful City.
なんぢの審士を舊のごとく なんぢの議官を始のごとくに復すべし 然るのちなんぢは正義の邑忠信の邑ととなへられん
27 Zion will be rescued by justice, those who repent by doing right.
シオンは公平をもてあがなはれ 歸來るものも正義をもて贖はるべし
28 But rebels and sinners will be destroyed together, and those who abandon the Lord will die.
されど愆ををかすものと罪人とはともに敗れ ヱホバをすつる者もまた亡びうせん
29 You will be ashamed about how you enjoyed your pagan worship among the oak trees; you will be embarrassed because you chose the pleasure gardens of idols.
なんぢらはその喜びたる橿樹によりて恥をいだき そのえらびたる園によりて慙赧むべし
30 As a result you will become like an oak whose leaves have withered, a dried-out garden that has no water.
なんぢらは葉のかるる橿樹のごとく水なき園のごとくならん
31 Your strong people will become like tinder, and their work will become like a spark. They will burn together, and nobody will be able to put out the flames.
權勢あるものは麻のごとくその工は火花のごとく 二つのもの一同もえてこれを撲滅すものなし
