Isaiah 42
1 "Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Ruach on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
わが扶くるわが僕わが心よろこぶわが撰人をみよ 我わが靈をかれにあたへたり かれ異邦人に道をしめすべし
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
かれは叫ぶことなく聲をあぐることなくその聲を街頭にきこえしめず
3 He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
また傷める蘆ををることなくほのくらき燈火をけすことなく 眞理をもて道をしめさん
4 He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
かれは衰へず喪膽せずして道を地にたてをはらん もろもろの島はその法言をまちのぞむべし
5 Thus says God, the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
天をつくりてこれをのべ 地とそのうへの產物とをひらき そのうへの民に息をあたへ その中をあゆむものに靈をあたへたまふ神ヱホバかく言給ふ
6 "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
云くわれヱホバ公義をもてなんぢを召たり われなんぢの手をとり汝をまもり なんぢを民の契約とし異邦人のひかりとなし
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
而して瞽の目を開き俘囚を獄よりいだし 暗にすめるものを檻のうちより出さしめん
8 "I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
われはヱホバなり是わが名なり 我はわが榮光をほかの者にあたへず わがほまれを偶像にあたへざるなり
9 Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
さきに預言せるところはや成れり 我また新しきことをつげん 事いまだ兆さざるさきに我まづなんぢらに聞せんと
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
海にうかぶもの 海のなかに充るもの もろもろの島およびその民よ ヱホバにむかひて新しき歌をうたひ 地の極よりその頌美をたたへまつれ
11 Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
荒野とその中のもろもろの邑とケダル人のすめるもろもろの村里はこゑをあげよ セラの民はうたひて山のいただきよりよばはれ
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
榮光をヱホバにかうぶらせ その頌美をもろもろの島にて語りつげよ
13 The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
ヱホバ勇士のごとく出たまふ また戰士のごとく熱心をおこし 聲をあげてよばはり大能をあらはして仇をせめ給はん
14 "I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
われ久しく聲をいださず默して己をおさへたり 今われ子をうまんとする婦人のごとく叫ばん 我いきづかしくかつ喘がん
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
われ山と岡とをあらし且すべてその上の木草をからし もろもろの河を島としもろもろの池を涸さん
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
われ瞽者をその未だしらざる大路にゆかしめ その未だしらざる徑をふましめ 暗をその前に光となし 曲れるをその前になほくすべし 我これらの事をおこなひて彼らをすてじ
17 "Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
刻みたる偶像にたのみ鑄たる偶像にむかひて汝等はわれらの神なりといふものは退けられて大に恥をうけん
18 "Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
聾者よきけ 瞽者よ眼をそそぎてみよ
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD's servant?
瞽者はたれぞ わが僕にあらずや 誰かわがつかはせる使者の如き瞽者あらんや 誰かわが友の如きめしひあらんや 誰かヱホバの僕のごときめしひあらんや
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
汝おほくのことを見れども顧みず 耳をひらけども聞ざるなり
21 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
ヱホバおのれ義なるがゆゑに大にしてたふとき律法をたまふをよろこび給へり
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
然るにこの民はかすめられ奪はれて みな穴中にとらはれ獄のなかに閉こめらる 斯てその掠めらるるを助くる者なく その奪はれたるを償へといふ者なし
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
なんぢらのうち誰かこのことに耳をかたぶけん たれか心をもちゐて後のために之をきかん
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
ヤコブを奪はせしものは誰ぞ かすむる者にイスラエルをわたしし者はたれぞ 是ヱホバにあらずや われらヱホバに罪ををかし その道をあゆまず その律法にしたがふことを好まざりき
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
この故にヱホバ烈しき怒をかたぶけ 猛きいくさをきたらせ その烈しきこと火の如く四圍にもゆれども彼しらず その身に焚せまれども心におかざりき
