Isaiah 55
1 “Behold, every thirsty one, Come to the waters, And he who has no money, Come, buy and eat, Indeed, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
噫なんぢら渇ける者ことごとく水にきたれ 金なき者もきたるべし 汝等きたりてかひ求めてくらへ きたれ金なく價なくして葡萄酒と乳とをかへ
2 Why do you weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which is not for satiety? Listen diligently to Me, and eat good, And your soul delights itself in fatness.
なにゆゑ糧にもあらぬ者のために金をいだし 飽ことを得ざるもののために勞するや われに聽從へ さらばなんぢら美物をくらふをえ脂をもてその靈魂をたのしまするを得ん
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me, Hear, and your soul lives, And I make a perpetual covenant for you, The kind blessings of David that are steadfast.
耳をかたぶけ我にきたりてきけ 汝等のたましひは活べし われ亦なんぢらととこしへの契約をなしてダビデに約せし變らざる惠をあたへん
4 Behold, I have given him [as] a witness to peoples, A leader and commander to peoples.
視よわれ彼をたててもろもろの民の證とし又もろもろの民の君となし命令する者となせり
5 Behold, a nation you do not know, you call, And a nation who does not know you runs to you, For the sake of your God YHWH, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He has beautified you.”
なんぢは知ざる國民をまねかん 汝をしらざる國民はなんぢのもとに走りきたらん 此はなんぢの神ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者のゆゑによりてなり ヱホバなんぢを尊くしたまへり
6 Seek YHWH while He may be found, Call Him while He is near,
なんぢら遇ことをうる間にヱホバを尋ねよ 近くゐたまふ間によびもとめよ
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returns to YHWH, And He pities him, And to our God, For He multiplies to pardon.
惡きものはその途をすて よこしまなる人はその思念をすててヱホバに反れ さらば憐憫をほどこしたまはん 我等の神にかへれ豐に赦をあたへ給はん
8 “For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways,” A declaration of YHWH,
ヱホバ宣給くわが思はなんぢらの思とことなり わが道はなんぢらのみちと異なれり
9 “For [as] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.
天の地よりたかきがごとく わが道はなんぢらの道よりも高く わが思はなんぢらの思よりもたかし
10 For as the shower comes down, And the snow from the heavens, And does not return there, But has watered the earth, And has caused it to yield, and to spring up, And has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
天より雨くだり雪おちて復かへらず 地をうるほして物をはえしめ 萌をいださしめて播ものに種をあたへ 食ふものに糧をあたふ
11 So is My word that goes out of My mouth, It does not return to Me empty, But has done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.
如此わが口よりいづる言もむなしくは我にかへらず わが喜ぶところを成し わが命じ遣りし事をはたさん
12 For you go forth with joy, And you are brought in with peace, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
なんぢらは喜びて出きたり平穩にみちびかれゆくべし山と岡とは聲をはなちて前にうたひ野にある樹はみな手をうたん
13 Instead of the thorn comes up fir, Instead of the brier comes up myrtle, And it has been to YHWH for a name, For a perpetual sign—it is not cut off!”
松樹はいばらにかはりてはえ岡拈樹は棘にかはりてはゆべし 此はヱホバの頌美となり並とこしへの徴となりて絶ることなからん
