Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
酔るものなるエフライム人よなんぢらの誇の冠はわざはひなるかな 酒におぼるるものよ肥たる谷の首にある凋んとする花のうるはしき飾はわざはひなるかな
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
みよ主はひとりの力ある强剛者をもち給へり それは雹をまじへたる暴風のごとく壞りそこなふ狂風のごとく大水のあぶれ漲るごとく烈しくかれを地になげうつべし
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
酔るものなるエフライム人のほこりの冠は足にて踐にじられん
4 And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
肥たる谷のかしらにある凋んとする花のうるはしきかざりは 夏こぬに熟したる初結の無花果のごとし 見るものこれをみて取る手おそしと呑いるるなり
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
その日萬軍のヱホバその民ののこれる者のために榮のかんむりとなり美しき冠となり給はん
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
さばきの席にざするものには審判の靈をあたへ軍を門よりおひかへす者には力をあたへ給ふべし
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
然どかれらも酒によりてよろめき濃酒によりてよろぼひたり 祭司と預言者とは濃酒によりてよろめき 酒にのまれ濃酒によりてよろぼひ 而して默示をみるときにもよろめき審判をおこなふときにも躓けり
8 For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
すべて膳には吐たるものと穢とみちて潔きところなし
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
かれは誰にをしへて知識をあたへんとするか 誰にしめして音信を暁らせんとするか 乳をたち懷をはなれたる者にするならんか
10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
そは誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にもすこしく敎ふ
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
このゆゑに神あだし唇と異なる舌とをもてこの民にかたりたまはん
12 To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
曩にかれらに言たまひけるは此は安息なり疲困者にやすみをあたへよ 此は安慰なりと されど彼らは聞ことをせざりき
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
斯るがゆゑにヱホバの言かれらにくだりて 誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にも少しくをしへん 之によりて彼等すすみてうしろに仆れそこなはれ罟にかかりて捕へらるべし
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
なんぢら此ヱルサレムにある民ををさむるところの輕慢者よヱホバの言をきけ
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol h7585)
なんぢらは云り 我ら死と契約をたて陰府とちぎりをむすべり 漲りあふるる禍害のすぐるときわれらに來らじ そはわれら虛僞をもて避所となし欺詐をもて身をかくしたればなりと (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
このゆゑに神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ 視よわれシオンに一つの石をすゑてその基となせり これは試をへたる石たふとき隅石かたくすゑたる石なり これに依賴むものはあわつることなし
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
われ公平を準繩とし正義を錘とす 斯て雹はいつはりにてつくれる避所をのぞきさり水はその匿れたるところに漲りあふれん
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
汝らが死とたてし契約はきえうせ陰府とむすべるちぎりは成ことなし されば漲り溢るるわざはひのすぐるとき汝等はこれに踐たふさるべし (Sheol h7585)
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.
その過るごとになんぢらを捕へん 朝々にすぎ晝も夜もすぐ この音信をきき わきまふるのみにても慴きをるなり
20 For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it: ] and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].
その狀は床みじかくして身をのぶることあたはず 衾せまくして身をおほふこと能はざるが如し
21 For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
そはヱホバ往昔ペラヂムの山にて起たまひしがごとくにたち ギベオンの谷にて忿恚をはなちたまひしが如くにいきどほり 而してその所爲をおこなひ給はん 奇しき所爲なり その工を成たまはん 異なる工なり
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
この故になんぢら侮るなかれ 恐くはなんぢらの縲絏きびしくならん 我すでに全地のうへにさだまれる敗亡あるよしを主萬軍のヱホバより聞たればなり
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
なんぢら耳をかたぶけてわが聲をきけ懇ろにわが言をきくべし
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
農夫たねをまかんに何で日々たがへし日々その地をすき その土塊をくだくことのみを爲んや
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
もし地の面をたひらかにせばいかで罌粟をまき 馬芹の種をおろし 小麥をうねにうゑ 大麥をさだめたる處にうゑ 粗麥を畔にうゑざらんや
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth teach him.
斯のごときはかれの神これに智慧をあたへて敎へたまへるなり
27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
けしは連耞にてうたず 馬芹はそのうへに車輪をきしらせず罌栗をうつには杖をもちひ 馬芹をうつには棒をもちふ
28 Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.
麥をくだくか否くるまにきしらせ馬にふませて落すことはすれども斷ずしかするにあらず これを碎くことをせざるべし
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, [which] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in working.
此もまた萬軍のヱホバよりいづ その謀略はくすしくその智慧はすぐれたり
