Isaiah 5
1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
われわが愛する者のために歌をつくり 我があいするものの葡萄園のことをうたはん わが愛するものは土肥たる山にひとつの葡萄園をもてり
2 And He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
彼その園をすきかへし石をのぞきて嘉ぶだうをうゑ そのなかに望樓をたて酒榨をほりて嘉葡萄のむすぶを望みまてり 然るに結びたるものは野葡萄なりき
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
さればヱルサレムに住るものとユダの人よ 請なんぢら我とわがぶだうぞのとの間をさばけ
4 What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
わが葡萄園にわれの作たるほか何のなすべき事ありや 我はよきぶだうの結ぶをのぞみまちしに 何なれば野葡萄をむすびしや
5 And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
然ばわれわが葡萄園になさんとすることを汝等につげん 我はぶだうぞのの籬芭をとりさりてその食あらさるるにまかせ その垣をこぼちてその踐あらさるるにまかせん
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
我これを荒してふたたび剪ことをせず耕すことをせず棘と荊とをはえいでしめん また雲に命せてそのうへに雨ふることなからしめん
7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
それ萬軍のヱホバの葡萄園はイスラエルの家なり その喜びたまふところの植物はユダの人なり これに公平をのぞみたまひしに反りて血をながし これに正義をのぞみ給ひしにかへりて號呼あり
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
禍ひなるかな彼らは家に家をたてつらね 田圃に田圃をましくはへて 餘地をあまさず 己ひとり國のうちに住んとす
9 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!
萬軍のヱホバ我耳につげて宣はく 實におほくの家はあれすたれ大にして美しき家は人のすむことなきにいたらん
10 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
十段のぶだうぞの僅かに一バテをみのり一ホメルの穀種はわづかに一エパを實るべし
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
禍ひなるかなかれらは朝つとにおきて濃酒をおひもとめ 夜のふくるまで止まりてのみ 酒にその身をやかるるなり
12 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
かれらの酒宴には琴あり 瑟あり 鼓あり 笛あり 葡萄酒あり されどヱホバの作爲をかへりみずその手のなしたまふところに目をとめず
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
斯るが故にわが民は無知にして虜にせられ その貴顯者はうゑ そのもろもろの民は渇によりて疲れはてん
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
また陰府はその欲望をひろくし その度られざる口をはる かれらの榮華 かれらの群衆 かれらの饒富 および喜びたのしめる人みなその中におつべし (Sheol h7585)
15 And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
賤しき者はかがめられ 貴きものは卑くせられ 目をあげて高ぶる者はひくくせらるべし
16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
されど萬軍のヱホバは公平によりてあがめられ 聖なる神は正義によりて聖とせられ給ふべし
17 And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
而して小羊おのが牧場にあるごとくに草をはみ 豐かなるものの田はあれて旅客にくらはれん
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
禍ひなるかな彼等はいつはりを繩となして惡をひき 索にて車をひくごとく罪をひけり
19 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
かれらは云 その成んとする事をいそぎて速かになせ 我儕これを見ん イスラエルの聖者のさだむることを逼來らせよ われらこれを知んと
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
禍ひなるかな かれらは惡をよびて善とし善をよびて惡とし 暗をもて光とし光をもて暗とし 苦をもて甘とし甘をもて苦とする者なり
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
わざはひなる哉 かれらは己をみて智しとし自らかへりみて聰とする者なり
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
禍ひなるかな かれらは葡萄酒をのむに丈夫なり 濃酒を和するに勇者なり
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
かれらは賄賂によりて惡きものを義となし 義人よりその義をうばふ
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel.
此によりて火舌の刈株をくらふがごとく また枯草の火焰のなかにおつるがごとく その根はくちはてその花は塵のごとくに飛さらん かれらは萬軍のヱホバの律法をすててイスラエルの聖者のことばを蔑したればなり
25 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
この故にヱホバその民にむかひて怒をはなち 手をのべてかれらを撃たまへり 山はふるひうごきかれらの屍は衢のなかにて糞土のごとくなれり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手を伸したまふ
26 And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
かくて旗をたててとほき國々をまねき彼等をよびて地の極より來らしめたまはん 視よかれら趨りて速かにきたるべし
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
その中には疲れたふるるものなく眠りまたは寢るものなし その腰の帶はとけずその履の紐はきれず
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
その矢は鋭その弓はことごとく張り その馬のひづめは石のごとくその車の輪は疾風のごとしと稱へられん
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
その嘷ること獅のごとく また小獅のごとく嘷うなりつつ獲物をつかみて掠去れども之をすくふ者なし
30 And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
その日かれらが嘯響めくこと海のなりどよめくがごとし もし地をのぞまば暗と難とありて光は黑雲のなかにくらくなりたるを見ん
