Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
アモツの子イザヤがユダとエルサレムについて示された言葉。
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.
終りの日に次のことが起る。主の家の山は、もろもろの山のかしらとして堅く立ち、もろもろの峰よりも高くそびえ、すべて国はこれに流れてき、
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
多くの民は来て言う、「さあ、われわれは主の山に登り、ヤコブの神の家へ行こう。彼はその道をわれわれに教えられる、われわれはその道に歩もう」と。律法はシオンから出、主の言葉はエルサレムから出るからである。
4 And he will judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.
彼はもろもろの国のあいだにさばきを行い、多くの民のために仲裁に立たれる。こうして彼らはそのつるぎを打ちかえて、すきとし、そのやりを打ちかえて、かまとし、国は国にむかって、つるぎをあげず、彼らはもはや戦いのことを学ばない。
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
ヤコブの家よ、さあ、われわれは主の光に歩もう。
6 For thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [witchcraft] more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.
あなたはあなたの民ヤコブの家を捨てられた。これは彼らが東の国からの占い師をもって満たし、ペリシテびとのように占い者となり、外国人と同盟を結んだからである。
7 And full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;
彼らの国には金銀が満ち、その財宝は限りない。また彼らの国には馬が満ち、その戦車も限りない。
8 And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.
また彼らの国には偶像が満ち、彼らはその手のわざを拝み、その指で作ったものを拝む。
9 And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.
こうして人はかがめられ、人々は低くされる。どうか彼らをおゆるしにならぬように。
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.
あなたは岩の間にはいり、ちりの中にかくれて、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避けよ。
11 The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
その日には目をあげて高ぶる者は低くせられ、おごる人はかがめられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
12 For there is a day [of judgment] unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;
これは、万軍の主の一日があって、すべて誇る者と高ぶる者、すべておのれを高くする者と得意な者とに臨むからである。
13 And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
またレバノンの高くそびえるすべての香柏、バシャンのすべてのかしの木、
14 And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;
またすべての高い山々、すべてのそびえ立つ峰々、
15 And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;
すべての高きやぐら、すべての堅固な城壁、
16 And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.
タルシシのすべての船、すべての麗しい船舶に臨む。
17 And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
その日には高ぶる者はかがめられ、おごる人は低くせられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
18 And the idols will he utterly abolish.
こうして偶像はことごとく滅びうせる。
19 And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
主が立って地を脅かされるとき、人々は岩のほら穴にはいり、また地の穴にはいって、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
20 On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
その日、人々は拝むためにみずから造ったしろがねの偶像と、こがねの偶像とを、もぐらもちと、こうもりに投げ与え、
21 To enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
岩のほら穴や、がけの裂け目にはいり、主が立って地を脅かされるとき、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
22 Withdraw yourselves [then] from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?
あなたがたは鼻から息の出入りする人に、たよることをやめよ、このような者はなんの価値があろうか。
