Isaiah 48
1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
ヤコブの家よなんぢら之をきけ 汝らはイスラエルの名をもて稱へられ ユダの根源よりいでヱホバの名によりて誓ひイスラエルの神をかたりつぐれども 眞實をもてせず正義をもてせざるなり
2 For they have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
かれらはみづから聖京のものととなへイスラエルの神によりたのめり その名は萬軍のヱホバといふ
3 I declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
われ今よりさきに成しことを旣にいにしへより告たり われ口よりいだして旣にのべつたへたり 我にはかにこの事をおこなひ而して成ぬ
4 From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
われ汝がかたくなにして項の筋はくろがねその額はあかがねなるを知れり
5 And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image commanded them.
このゆゑに我はやくよりかの事をなんぢにつげ その成ざるさきに之をなんぢに聞しめたり 恐くはなんぢ云ん わが偶像これを成せり刻みたるざう鑄たる像これを命じたりと
6 You have heard, see the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
なんぢ旣にきけり 凡てこれを視よ 汝ら之をのべつたへざるか われ今より新なる事なんぢが未だしらざりし秘事をなんぢに示さん
7 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known them.
これらの事はいま創造せられしにて上古よりありしにあらず この日よりさきに汝これを聞ざりき 然らずば汝いはん視よわれこれを知れりと
8 Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
汝これを聞こともなく知こともなく なんぢの耳はいにしへより開けざりき 我なんぢが欺きあざむきて生れながら悖逆者ととなへられしを知ればなり
9 I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
わが名のゆゑによりて我いかりを遲くせん わが頌美のゆゑにより我しのびてなんぢを絶滅すことをせじ
10 Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
視よわれなんぢを煉たり されど白銀の如くせずして患難の爐をもてこころみたり
11 For My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do not give My glory to another.
われ己のため我おのれの爲にこれを成ん われ何でわが名をけがさしむべき 我わが榮光をほかの者にあたることをせじ
12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
ヤコブよわが召たるイスラエルよ われにきけ われは是なり われは始また終なり
13 Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
わが手は地のもとゐを置わが右の手は天をのべたり 我よべば彼等はもろともに立なり
14 Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
汝ら皆あつまりてきけ ヱホバの愛するものヱホバの好みたまふ所をバビロンに成し その腎はカルデヤ人のうへにのぞまん 彼等のうち誰かこれらの事をのべつげしや
15 I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
ただ我のみ我かたれり 我かれをめし我かれをきたらせたり その道さかゆべし
16 Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
なんぢら我にちかよりて之をきけ 我はじめより之をひそかに語りしにあらず その成しときより我はかしこに在り いま主ヱホバわれとその靈とをつかはしたまへり
17 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you go.
なんぢの贖主イスラエルの聖者ヱホバかく言給く われはなんぢの神ヱホバなり 我なんぢに益することを敎へ なんぢを導きてそのゆくべき道にゆかしむ
18 O that you had attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows of the sea,
願くはなんぢわが命令にききしたがはんことを もし然らばなんぢの平安は河のごとく 汝の義はうみの波のごとく
19 And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed before Me.”
なんぢの裔はすなのごとく 汝の體よりいづる者は細沙のごとくになりて その名はわがまへより絶るることなく亡さるることなからん
20 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
なんぢらバビロンより出てカルデヤ人よりのがれよ なんらぢ歡の聲をもてのべきかせ地のはてにいたるまで語りつたへ ヱホバはその僕ヤコブをあがなひ給へりといへ
21 And they have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
ヱホバかれらをして沙漠をゆかしめ給へるとき彼等はかわきたることなかりき ヱホバ彼等のために磐より水をながれしめ また磐をさきたまへば水ほどばしりいでたり
22 “There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
ヱホバいひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなし
