Esias 59
1 Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear?
ヱホバの手はみぢかくして救ひえざるにあらず その耳はにぶくして聞えざるにあらず
2 Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].
惟なんぢらの邪曲なる業なんぢらとなんぢらの神との間をへだてたり 又なんぢらの罪その面をおほひて聞えざらしめたり
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness.
そはなんぢらの手は血にてけがれ なんぢらの指はよこしまにて汚れ なんぢらのくちびるは虚僞をかたり なんぢらの舌は惡をささやき
4 None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment: they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.
その一人だに正義をもてうつたへ眞實をもて論らふものなし 彼らは虚浮をたのみ虚僞をかたり 惡しきくはだてをはらみ不義をうむ
5 They have hatched asps' eggs, and weave a spider's web: and he that is going to eat of their eggs, having crushed an addled egg, has found also in it a basilisk.
かれらは蝮の卵をかへし蛛網をおる その卵をくらふものは死るなり 卵もし踐るればやぶれて毒蛇をいだす
6 Their web shall not become a garment, nor shall they at all clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity.
その織るところは衣になすあたはず その工をもて身をおほふこと能はず かれらの工はよこしまの工なり かれらの手には暴虐のおこなひあり
7 And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;
かれらの足はあくにはしり罪なき血をながすに速し かれらの思念はよこしまの思念なり 殘害と滅亡とその路徑にのこれり
8 and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace.
彼らは平穩なる道をしらず その過るところに公平なく又まがれる小徑をつくる 凡てこれを踐ものは平穩をしらず
9 Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
このゆゑに公平はとほくわれらをはなれ正義はわれらに追及ず われら光をのぞめど暗をみ 光輝をのぞめど闇をゆく
10 They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.
われらは瞽者のごとく牆をさぐりゆき目なき者のごとく模りゆき正午にても日暮のごとくにつまづき 強壯なる者のなかにありても死るもののごとし
11 They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
我儕はみな熊のごとくにほえ鴿のごとくに甚くうめき 審判をのぞめどもあることなく 救をのぞめども遠くわれらを離る
12 For our iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.
われらの愆はなんぢの前におほく われらのつみは證してわれらを訟へ われらのとがは我らとともに在り われらの邪曲なる業はわれら自らしれり
13 We have sinned, and dealt falsely, and revolted from our God: we have spoken unrighteous words, and have been disobedient; we have conceived and uttered from our heart unrighteous words.
われら罪ををかしてヱホバを棄われらの神にはなれてしたがはず 暴虐と悖逆とをかたり虚僞のことばを心にはらみて説出すなり
14 And we have turned judgment back, and righteousness has departed afar off: for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path].
公平はうしろに退けられ正義ははるかに立り そは 眞實は衢間にたふれ 正直はいることを得ざればなり
15 And truth has been taken away, and they have turned aside [their] mind from understanding. And the Lord saw it, and it pleased him not that there was no judgment.
眞實はかけてなく惡をはなるるものは掠めうばはる／ヱホバこれを見てその公平のなかりしを悦びたまはざりき
16 And he looked, and there was no man, and he observed, and there was none to help: so he defended them with his arm, and established [them] with [his] mercy.
ヱホバは人なきをみ中保なきを奇しみたまへり 斯てその臂をもてみづから助け その義をもてみづから支たまへり
17 And he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and placed the helmet of salvation on his head; and he clothed himself with the garment of vengeance, and with his cloak,
ヱホバ義をまとひて護胸とし救をその頭にいただきて兜となし 仇をまとひて衣となし 熱心をきて外服となしたまへり
18 as one about to render a recompence, [even] reproach to his adversaries.
かれらの作にしたがひて報をなし敵にむかひていかり仇にむかひて報をなし また島々にむくいをなし給はん
19 So shall they of the west fear the name of the Lord, and they [that come] from the rising of the sun his glorious name: for the wrath of the Lord shall come as a mighty river, it shall come with fury.
西方にてヱホバの名をおそれ 日のいづる所にてその榮光をおそるべし ヱホバは堰ぎとめたる河のその氣息にふき潰えたるがごとくに來りたまふ可ればなり
20 And the deliverer shall come for Sion's sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
ヱホバのたまはく贖者シオンにきたりヤコブのなかの愆をはなるる者につかんと
21 And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon you, and the words which I have put in your mouth, shall never fail from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever.
ヱホバいひ給く なんぢの上にあるわが靈なんぢの口におきたるわがことばは 今よりのち永遠になんぢの口よりなんぢの裔の口より汝のすゑの裔の口よりはなれざるべし わがかれらにたつる契約はこれなりと此はヱホバのみことばなり
