< Isaiah 51 >
1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD; look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.
義をおひ求めヱホバを尋ねもとむるものよ我にきけ なんぢらが斫出されたる磐となんぢらの掘出されたる穴とをおもひ見よ
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
なんぢらの父アブラハム及びなんぢらを生たるサラをおもひ見よ われ彼をその唯一人なりしときに召しこれを祝してその子孫をまし加へたり
3 For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
そはヱホバ、シオンを慰め またその凡てあれたる所をなぐさめて その荒野をエデンのごとくその沙漠をヱホバの園のごとくなしたまへり 斯てその中によろこびと歡樂とあり感謝とうたうたふ聲とありてきこゆ
4 Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.
わが民よわが言にこころをとめよ わが國人よわれに耳をかたぶけよ 律法はわれより出づ われわが途をかたく定めてもろもろの民の光となさん
5 My favour is near, My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust.
わが義はちかづきわが救はすでに出たり わが臂はもろもろの民をさばかん もろもろの島はわれを俟望み わがかひなに依賴ん
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be for ever, and My favour shall not be abolished.
なんぢら目をあげて天を觀また下なる地をみよ 天は烟のごとくきえ地は衣のごとくふるびその中にすむ者これとひとしく死ん されどわが救はとこしへにながらへ わが義はくだくることなし
7 Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the taunt of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
義をしるものよ心のうちにわが律法をたもつ民よ われにきけ 人のそしりをおそるるなかれ人のののしりに慴くなかれ
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My favour shall be for ever, and My salvation unto all generations.
そはかれら衣のごとく蠧にはまれ羊の毛のごとく蟲にはまれん されどわが義はとこしへに存らへ わがすくひ萬代におよぶべし
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that hewed Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon?
さめよ醒よヱホバの臂よちからを着よ さめて古への時むかしの代にありし如くなれ ラハブをきりころし鱷をさしつらぬきたるは汝にあらずや
10 Art thou not it that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
海をかわかし大なる淵の水をかわかし また海のふかきところを贖はれたる人のすぐべき路となししは汝にあらずや
11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
ヱホバに贖ひすくはれしもの歌うたひつつ歸りてシオンにきたり その首にとこしへの歡喜をいただきて快樂とよろこびとをえん 而してかなしみと歎息とはにげさるべし
12 I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;
我こそ我なんぢらを慰むれ 汝いかなる者なれば死べき人をおそれ草の如くなるべき人の子をおそるるか
13 And hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, as he maketh ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
いかなれば天をのべ地の基をすゑ汝をつくりたまへるヱホバを忘れしや 何なれば汝をほろぼさんとて豫備する虐ぐるものの憤れるをみて常にひねもす懼るるか 虐ぐるものの忿恚はいづこにありや
14 He that is bent down shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not go down dying into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
身をかがめゐる俘囚はすみやかに解れて 死ることなく穴にくだることなく その食はつくること無るべし
15 For I am the LORD thy God, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is His name.
我は海をふるはせ波をなりどよめかする汝の神ヱホバなり その御名を萬軍のヱホバといふ
16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: 'Thou art My people.'
我わが言をなんぢの口におきわが手のかげにて汝をおほへり かくてわれ天をうゑ地の基をすゑ シオンにむかひて汝はわが民なりといはん
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.
ヱルサレムよさめよさめよ起よ なんぢ前にヱホバの手よりその忿恚のさかづきをうけて飮み よろめかす大杯をのみ且すひほしたり
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
なんぢの生るもろもろの子のなかに汝をみちびく者なく 汝のそだてたるもろもろの子の中にてなんぢの手をたづさふる者なし
19 These two things are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?
この二のこと汝にのぞめり誰かなんぢのために歎んや 荒廢の饑饉ほろびの劍なんぢに及べり我いかにして汝をなぐさめんや
20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
なんぢの子らは息たえだえにして網にかかれる羚羊のごとくし街衢の口にふす ヱホバの忿恚となんぢの神のせめとはかれらに滿たり
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine;
このゆゑに苦しめるもの酒にあらで酔たるものよ之をきけ
22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;
なんぢの主ヱホバおのが民の訟をあげつらひ給ふ なんぢの神かくいひ給ふ 我よろめかす酒杯をなんぢの手より取除き わがいきどほりの大杯をとりのぞきたり 汝ふたたびこれを飮ことあらじ
23 And I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; that have said to thy soul: 'Bow down, that we may go over'; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.
我これを汝をなやますものの手にわたさん 彼らは曩になんぢの靈魂にむかひて云らく なんぢ伏せよわれら越ゆかんと 而してなんぢその背を地のごとくし衢のごとくし彼等のこえゆくに任せたり
