Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
今くるしみを受れども後には闇なかるべし 昔しはゼブルンの地ナフタリの地をあなどられしめ給ひしかど 後には海にそひたる地ヨルダンの外の地 ことくに人のガリラヤに榮をうけしめ給へり
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
幽暗をあゆめる民は大なる光をみ 死蔭の地にすめる者のうへに光てらせり
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
なんぢ民をましその歡喜を大にしたまひければ かれらは收穫時によろこぶがごとく掠物をわかつときに樂むがごとく汝の前によろこべり
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
そは汝かれらがおへる軛とその肩の笞と虐ぐるものの杖とを折り これを折りてミデアンの日のごとくなし給ひたればなり
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
すべて亂れたたかふ兵士のよろひと血にまみれたる衣とはみな火のもえくさとなりて焚るべし
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
ひとりの嬰兒われらのために生れたり 我儕はひとりの子をあたへられたり 政事はその肩にあり その名は奇妙また議士 また大能の神とこしへのちち 平和の君ととなへられん
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
その政事と平和とはましくははりて窮りなし 且ダビデの位にすわりてその國ををさめ今よりのちとこしへに公平と正義とをもてこれを立これを保ちたまはん 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
主一言をヤコブにおくり之をイスラエルの上にのぞませ給へり
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
すべてのこの民エフライムとサマリヤに居るものとは知ならん かれらは高ぶり誇る心をもていふ
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
瓦くづるるともわれら斫石をもて建 くはの木きらるるともわれら香柏をもて之にかへんと
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
この故にヱホバ、レヂンの敵をあげもちゐてイスラエルを攻しめ その仇をたけび勇しめたまはん
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
前にアラム人あり後にペシリテ人あり 口をはりてイスラエルを呑んとす 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
然どこの民はおのれをうつものに歸らず萬軍のヱホバを求めず
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
斯るゆゑにヱホバ一日のうちに首と尾と椶櫚のえだと葦とをイスラエルより斷切たまはん
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
その首とは老たるもの尊きもの その尾とは謊言をのぶる預言者をいふなり
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
この民をみちびく者はこれを迷はせその引導をうくる者はほろぶるなり
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
このゆゑに主はその少壯者をよろこびたまはず その孤兒と寡婦とを憐みたまはざるべし 是その民はことごとく邪まなり惡をおこなふ者なり おのおのの口は愚かなる言をかたればなり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
惡は火のごとくもえ棘と荊とを食つくし茂りあふ林をやくべければみな煙となりむらがりて上騰らん
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
萬軍のヱホバの怒によりて地はくろく燒 その民は火のもえくさとなり人々たがひに相憐むことなし
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
人みぎに攫めどもなほ饑 ひだりに食へども尚あかず おのおのその腕の肉をくらふべし
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
マナセはエフライムを エフライムはマナセをくらひ 又かれら相合てユダを攻めん 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
