Isaiah 38
1 In those days has Hezekiah been sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, comes to him and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Give a charge to your house, for you [are] dying, and do not live.”
そのころヒゼキヤやみて死んとせしにアモツの子預言者イザヤきたりて彼にいふ ヱホバ如此いひたまはく なんぢ家に遺言をとどめよ 汝しにて活ることあたはざればなり
2 And Hezekiah turns around his face to the wall, and prays to YHWH,
爰にヒゼキヤ面を壁にむけてヱホバに祈りいひけるは
3 and says, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please remember how I have habitually walked before You in truth, and with a perfect heart, and I have done that which [is] good in your eyes”; and Hezekiah weeps [with] a great weeping.
ああヱホバよ 願くはわがなんぢの前に眞實をもて一心をもてあゆみ なんぢの目によきことを行ひたるをおもひいでたまへ 斯てヒゼキヤ甚くなきぬ
4 And a word of YHWH is to Isaiah, saying,
ヱホバの言イザヤにのぞみて曰く
5 “Go, and you have said to Hezekiah, Thus said YHWH, God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tear, behold, I am adding fifteen years to your days,
なんぢ往てヒゼキヤにいへ なんぢの祖ダビデの神ヱホバかくいひ給はく 我なんぢの禱告をききなんぢの涙をみたり 我なんぢの齢を十五年ましくはへ
6 and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver you and this city, and have covered over this city.
且なんぢとこの城とを救ひてアツスリヤわうの手をのがれしめん又われこの城をまもるべし
7 And this [is] to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH does this thing that He has spoken.
ヱホバ語りたまひたる此事を成たまふ證にこの徴をなんぢに賜ふ
8 Behold, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it has gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees”; and the sun turns back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.
視よわれアハズの日晷にすすみたる日影を十度しりぞかしめんといひければ乃ちひばかりにすすみたる日影十度しりぞきぬ
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick when he revives from his sickness:
ユダの王ヒゼキヤ病にかかりてその病のいえしのち記しし書は左のごとし
10 “I said in the cutting off of my days, I go to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of my years. (Sheol h7585)
我いへり わが齢ひの全盛のとき陰府の門にいりわが餘年をうしなはんと (Sheol h7585)
11 I said, I do not see YAH—YAH! In the land of the living, I do not behold man anymore, With the inhabitants of the world.
我いへり われ再びヱホバを見奉ることあらじ再びいけるものの地にてヱホバを見奉ることあらじ われは無ものの中にいりてふたたび人を見ることあらじ
12 My sojourning has departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd’s tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cuts me off, From day to night You end me.
わが住所はうつされて牧人の幕屋をとりさるごとくに我をはなる わがいのちは織工の布をまきをはりて機より翦はなすごとくならん なんぢ朝夕のあひだに我をたえしめたまはん
13 I have set [Him] as a lion until morning, So He breaks all my bones, From day to night You end me.
われは天明におよぶまで己をおさへてしづめたり 主は獅のごとくに我もろもろの骨を碎きたまふ なんぢ朝夕の間にわれを絶しめたまはん
14 As a crane—a swallow—so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, My eyes have been drawn up on high, O YHWH, oppression [is] on me, be my guarantor.
われは燕のごとく鶴のごとくに哀みなき鳩のごとくにうめき わが眼はうへを視ておとろふ ヱホバよわれは迫りくるしめらる 願くはわが中保となりたまへ
15 What do I say? Seeing He spoke to me, And He Himself has worked, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
主はわれとものいひ且そのごとくみづから成たまへり われ何をいふべきか わが世にある間わが靈魂の苦しめる故によりて愼みてゆかん
16 Lord, [men] live by these, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And You save me, make me to also live,
主よこれらの事によりて人は活るなり わが靈魂のいのちも全くこれらの事によるなり 願くはわれを醫しわれを活したまへ
17 Behold, He changed bitterness to peace for me, And You have delighted in my soul without corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
視よわれに甚しき艱苦をあたへたまへるは我に平安をえしめんがためなり 汝わがたましひを愛して滅亡の穴をまぬかれしめ給へり そはわが罪をことごとく背後にすてたまへり
18 For Sheol does not confess You, Death does not praise You, Those going down to the pit do not hope for Your truth. (Sheol h7585)
陰府はなんぢに感謝せず 死はなんぢを讃美せず 墓にくだる者はなんぢの誠實をのぞまず (Sheol h7585)
19 The living, the living, he confesses You,
唯いけるもののみ活るものこそ汝にかんしやするなれ わが今日かんしやするが如し 父はなんぢの誠實をその子にしらしめん
20 Like myself today; A father makes known to [his] sons of Your faithfulness, O YHWH—to save me: And we sing my songs all [the] days of our lives In the house of YHWH.”
ヱホバ我を救ひたまはん われら世にあらんかぎりヱホバのいへにて琴をひきわが歌をうたはん
21 And Isaiah says, “Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he lives.”
イザヤいへらく無花果の一團をとりきたりて腫物のうへにつけよ 王かならずいえん
22 And Hezekiah says, “What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of YHWH?”
ヒゼキヤも亦いへらく わがヱホバの家にのぼることにつきては何の兆あらんか
