Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot 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 hid his face from you, 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 muttereth 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 sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth 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 basilisks’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh 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 make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation ard destruction 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 know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth 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 judgment far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but behold 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, yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that 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 mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, 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 thee, 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 in transgressing and denying the LORD, 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 And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot 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 Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
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 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto 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 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
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, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
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 the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun: for he shall come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD driveth.
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 And a redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
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 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD: my spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
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
