Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they are] a burden to the weary [beast].
ベルは伏しネボは屈む かれらの像はけものと家畜とのうへにあり なんぢらが擡げあるきしものは荷となりて疲れおとろへたるけものの負ところとなりぬ
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
かれらは屈みかれらは共にふし その荷となれる者をすくふこと能はずして己とらはれゆく
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
ヤコブの家よイスラエルのいへの遺れるものよ 腹をいでしより我におはれ胎をいでしより我にもたげられしものよ 皆われにきくべし
4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry [you: ] I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].
なんぢらの年老るまで我はかはらず白髮となるまで我なんぢらを負ん 我つくりたれば擡ぐべし我また負ひかつ救はん
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
なんぢら我をたれに比べ たれに配ひ たれに擬らへ かつ相くらぶべきか
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
人々ふくろより黄金をかたぶけいだし權衡をもて白銀をはかり金工をやとひてこれを神につくらせ之にひれふして拜む
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
彼等はこれをもたげて肩にのせ 負ひゆきてその處に安置す すなはち立てその處をはなれず 人これにむかひて呼はれども答ふること能はず 又これをすくひて苦難のうちより出すことあたはず
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring [it] again to mind, O ye transgressors.
なんぢら此事をおもひいでて堅くたつべし 悖逆者よこのことを心にとめよ
9 Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,
汝等いにしへより以來のことをおもひいでよ われは神なり我のほかに神なし われは神なり我のごとき者なし
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
われは終のことを始よりつげ いまだ成ざることを昔よりつげ わが謀畧はかならず立つといひ すべて我がよろこぶことを成んといへり
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.
われ東より鷲をまねき遠國よりわが定めおける人をまねかん 我このことを語りたれば必らず來らすべし 我このことを謀りたればかならず成すべし
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from righteousness:
なんぢら心かたくなにして義にとほざかるものよ我にきけ
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
われわが義をちかづかしむ可ればその來ること遠からず わが救おそからず 我すくひをシオンにあたへ わが榮光をイスラエルにあたへん
