Isaiah 59
1 Look, YHWH's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear:
ヱホバの手はみぢかくして救ひえざるにあらず その耳はにぶくして聞えざるにあらず
2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
惟なんぢらの邪曲なる業なんぢらとなんぢらの神との間をへだてたり 又なんぢらの罪その面をおほひて聞えざらしめたり
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
そはなんぢらの手は血にてけがれ なんぢらの指はよこしまにて汚れ なんぢらのくちびるは虚僞をかたり なんぢらの舌は惡をささやき
4 None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
その一人だに正義をもてうつたへ眞實をもて論らふものなし 彼らは虚浮をたのみ虚僞をかたり 惡しきくはだてをはらみ不義をうむ
5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
かれらは蝮の卵をかへし蛛網をおる その卵をくらふものは死るなり 卵もし踐るればやぶれて毒蛇をいだす
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
その織るところは衣になすあたはず その工をもて身をおほふこと能はず かれらの工はよこしまの工なり かれらの手には暴虐のおこなひあり
7 Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; destruction and calamity are in their paths.
かれらの足はあくにはしり罪なき血をながすに速し かれらの思念はよこしまの思念なり 殘害と滅亡とその路徑にのこれり
8 The way of peace they do not know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes in it does not know peace.
彼らは平穩なる道をしらず その過るところに公平なく又まがれる小徑をつくる 凡てこれを踐ものは平穩をしらず
9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, look, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
このゆゑに公平はとほくわれらをはなれ正義はわれらに追及ず われら光をのぞめど暗をみ 光輝をのぞめど闇をゆく
10 We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.
われらは瞽者のごとく牆をさぐりゆき目なき者のごとく模りゆき正午にても日暮のごとくにつまづき 強壯なる者のなかにありても死るもののごとし
11 We roar all like bears, and moan bitterly like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
我儕はみな熊のごとくにほえ鴿のごとくに甚くうめき 審判をのぞめどもあることなく 救をのぞめども遠くわれらを離る
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
われらの愆はなんぢの前におほく われらのつみは證してわれらを訟へ われらのとがは我らとともに在り われらの邪曲なる業はわれら自らしれり
13 transgressing and denying YHWH, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
われら罪ををかしてヱホバを棄われらの神にはなれてしたがはず 暴虐と悖逆とをかたり虚僞のことばを心にはらみて説出すなり
14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.
公平はうしろに退けられ正義ははるかに立り そは 眞實は衢間にたふれ 正直はいることを得ざればなり
15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. YHWH saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
眞實はかけてなく惡をはなるるものは掠めうばはる／ヱホバこれを見てその公平のなかりしを悦びたまはざりき
16 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.
ヱホバは人なきをみ中保なきを奇しみたまへり 斯てその臂をもてみづから助け その義をもてみづから支たまへり
17 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
ヱホバ義をまとひて護胸とし救をその頭にいただきて兜となし 仇をまとひて衣となし 熱心をきて外服となしたまへり
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
かれらの作にしたがひて報をなし敵にむかひていかり仇にむかひて報をなし また島々にむくいをなし給はん
19 So shall they fear the name of YHWH from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of YHWH drives.
西方にてヱホバの名をおそれ 日のいづる所にてその榮光をおそるべし ヱホバは堰ぎとめたる河のその氣息にふき潰えたるがごとくに來りたまふ可ればなり
20 "A Redeemer will come from Zion, and he will turn away transgression from Jacob," says YHWH.
ヱホバのたまはく贖者シオンにきたりヤコブのなかの愆をはなるる者につかんと
21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says YHWH. "My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your children, nor out of the mouth of your children's children," says YHWH, "from now on and forever."
ヱホバいひ給く なんぢの上にあるわが靈なんぢの口におきたるわがことばは 今よりのち永遠になんぢの口よりなんぢの裔の口より汝のすゑの裔の口よりはなれざるべし わがかれらにたつる契約はこれなりと此はヱホバのみことばなり
