< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of YHWH is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
主ヱホバの靈われに臨めり こはヱホバわれに膏をそそぎて貧きものに福音をのべ傳ふることをゆだね 我をつかはして心の傷める者をいやし俘囚にゆるしをつげ 縛められたるものに解放をつげ
2 to proclaim the year of YHWH's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
ヱホバのめぐみの年とわれらの神の刑罰の日とを告しめ 又すべて哀むものをなぐさめ
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of YHWH, that he may be glorified.
灰にかへ冠をたまひてシオンの中のかなしむ者にあたへ 悲哀にかへて歡喜のあぶらを予へ うれひの心にかへて讃美の衣をかたへしめたまふなり かれらは義の樹 ヱホバの植たまふ者 その榮光をあらはす者ととなへられん
4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
彼等はひさしく荒たる處をつくろひ 上古より廢れたる處をおこし 荒たる邑々をかされて新にし世々すたれたる處をふたたび建べし
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
外人はたちてなんぢらの群をかひ 異邦人はなんぢらの畑をたがへす者となり 葡萄をつくる者とならん
6 But you shall be named the priests of YHWH; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
然どなんぢらはヱホバの祭司ととなへられ われらの神の役者とよばれ もろもろの國の富をくらひ かれらの榮をえて自らほこるべし
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
曩にうけし恥にかへ倍して賞賜をうけ凌辱にかへ嗣業をえて樂むべし 而してその地にありて倍したる賞賜をたもち永遠によろこびを得ん
8 "For I, YHWH, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
われヱホバは公平をこのみ邪曲なるかすめごとをにくみ 眞實をもて彼等にむくいをあたへ 彼等ととこしへの契約をたつべければなり
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which YHWH has blessed."
かれらの裔はもろもろの國のなかに知れ かれらの子輩はもろもろの民のなかに知れん すべてこれを見るものはそのヱホバの祝したまへる裔なるを辨ふべし
10 I will greatly rejoice in YHWH, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
われヱホバを大によろこび わが靈魂はわが神をたのしまん そは我にすくひの衣をきせ義の外服をまとはせて 新郎が冠をいただき新婦が玉こがねの飾をつくるが如くなしたまへばなり
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so YHWH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
地は芽をいだし畑はまけるものを生ずるがごとく 主ヱホバは義と譽とをもろもろの國のまへに生ぜしめ給ふべし
