< Isaiah 14 >

1 For YHWH will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
ヱホバ、ヤコブを憐みイスラエルをふたたび撰びて之をおのれの地におきたまはん 異邦人これに加りてヤコブの家にむすびつらなるべし
2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in YHWH's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
もろもろの民はかれらをその處にたづさへいたらん而してイスラエルの家はヱホバの地にてこれを奴婢となし曩におのれを虜にしたるものを虜にし おのれを虐げたるものを治めん
3 It will happen in the day that YHWH will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
ヱホバなんぢの憂と艱難とをのぞき 亦なんぢが勤むるからき役をのぞきて安息をたまふの日
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased. How the attacker has ceased."
なんぢこの歌をとなへバビロン王をせめていはん虐ぐる者いかにして息みしや 金をはたる者いかにして息みしやと
5 YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
ヱホバあしきものの笞ともろもろの有司の杖とををりたまへり
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
かれらは怒をもてもろもろの民をたえず撃てはうち 忿恚をもてもろもろの國ををさむれど その暴虐をとどむる者なかりき
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.
今は全地やすみを得おだやかを得 ことごとく聲をあげてうたふ
8 Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."
實にまつの樹およびレバノンの香柏さへもなんぢの故により歡びていふ 汝すでに仆たれば樵夫のぼりきたりてわれらを攻ることなしと
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
下の陰府はなんぢの故により動きて汝のきたるをむかへ世のもろもろの英雄の亡靈をおこし國々のもろもろの王をその位より起おこらしむ (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"
かれらは皆なんぢに告ていはん 汝もわれらのごとく弱くなりしや 汝もわれらと同じくなりしやと
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの榮華となんぢの琴の音はすでに陰府におちたり 蛆なんぢの下にしかれ蚯蚓なんぢをおほふ (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
あしたの子明星よいかにして天より隕しや もろもろの國をたふしし者よいかにして斫れて地にたふれしや
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.
汝さきに心中におもへらく われ天にのぼり我くらゐを神の星のうへにあげ北の極なる集會の山にざし
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High."
たかき雲漢にのぼり至上者のごとくなるべしと
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
然どなんぢは陰府におとされ坑の最下にいれられん (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;
なんぢを見るものは熟々なんぢを視なんぢに目をとめていはん この人は地をふるはせ列國をうごかし
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who did not release his prisoners to their home?"
世を荒野のごとくし もろもろの邑をこぼち 捕へたるものをその家にときかへさざりしものなるかと
18 All the kings of the nations lie in splendor, everyone in his own house.
もろもろの國の王たちはことごとく皆たふとき狀にておのおのその家にねぶる
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
然どなんぢは忌きらふべき枝のごとく おのが墓のそとにすてられその周圍には劍にて刺ころされ坑におろされ 石におほはれたる者ありて踐つけらるる屍にことならず
20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be mentioned forever.
汝おのれの國をほろぼし おのれの民をころししが故に かれらとおなじく葬らるることあたはず それ惡をおこなふものの裔はとこしへに名をよばるることなかるべし
21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
先祖のよこしまの故をもて その子孫のために戮場をそなへ 彼等をしてたちて地をとり世界のおもてに邑をみたすことなからしめよ
22 "I will rise up against them," says YHWH of hosts, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says YHWH.
萬軍のヱホバのたまはく 我立てかれらを攻めバビロンよりその名と遺りたるものとを絶滅し その子その孫をたちほろぼさんと これヱホバの聖言なり
23 "I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says YHWH of hosts.
われバビロンを刺蝟のすみかとし沼とし且ほろびの箒をもてこれを掃除かんと これ萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
24 YHWH of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
萬軍のヱホバ誓をたてて言給はくわがおもひし事はかならず成 わがさだめし事はかならず立ん
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
われアツスリヤ人をわが地にてうちやぶり わが山々にてふみにじらん ここにおいて彼がおきし軛はイスラエル人よりはなれ 彼がおはせし重負はイスラエル人の肩よりはなるべし
26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
これは全地のことにつきて定めたる謀略なり 是はもろもろの國のうへに伸したる手なり
27 For YHWH of hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"
萬軍のヱホバさだめたまへり誰かこれを破ることを得んや その手をのばしたまへり誰かこれを押返すことを得んや
28 This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
29 Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
曰く ペリシテの全地よなんぢをうちし杖をれたればとて喜ぶなかれ 蛇の根より蝮いでその果はとびかける巨蛇となるべければなり
30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
いと貧しきものはものくひ乏しきものは安然にふさん われ饑饉をもてなんぢの根をしなせ汝がのこれる者をころすべし
31 Howl, gate. Cry, city. You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
門よなげけ邑よさけべ ペリシテよなんぢの全地きえうせたり そはけぶり北よりいできたり その軍兵の列におくるるものなし
32 What then is one to answer the messengers of this nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
その國の使者たちに何とこたふべきや 答へていはん ヱホバ、シオンの基をおきたまへり その民のなかの苦しむものは避所をこの中にえん
