< Isaiah 64 >
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence;
願くはなんぢ天を裂てくだり給へ なんぢのみまへに山々ふるひ動かんことを
2 as when fire kindleth the brushwood, [and] the fire causeth the waters to boil: to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence.
火の柴をもやし火の水を沸すがごとくして降りたまへ かくて名をなんぢの敵にあらはし もろもろの國をなんぢのみまへに戰慄かしめたまへ
3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
汝われらが逆料あたはざる懼るべき事をおこなひ給ひしときに降りたまへり 山々はその前にふるひうごけり
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God beside thee, which worketh for him that waiteth for him.
上古よりこのかた汝のほかに何なる神ありて俟望みたる者にかかる事をおこなひしや いまだ聽ず いまだ耳にいらず いまだ目にみしことなし
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time, and shall we be saved?
汝はよろこびて義をおこなひなんぢの途にありてなんぢを紀念するものを迎へたまふ 視よなんぢ怒りたまへり われらは罪ををかせり かかる狀なること旣にひさし 我儕いかで救はるるを得んや
6 For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
我儕はみな潔からざる物のごとくなり われらの義はことごとく汚れたる衣のごとし 我儕はみな木葉のごとく枯れ われらのよこしまは暴風のごとく我らを吹去れり
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.
なんぢの名をよぶ者なく みづから勵みて汝によりすがる者なし なんぢ面をおほひてわれらを顧みたまはず われらが邪曲をもてわれらを消失せしめたまへり
8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
されどヱホバよ汝はわれらの父なり われらは泥塊にしてなんぢは陶工なり 我らは皆なんぢの御手のわざなり
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
ヱホバよいたく怒りたまふなかれ 永くよこしまを記念したまふなかれ 願くは顧みたまへ 我儕はみななんぢの民なり
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
汝のきよき諸邑は野となりシオンは野となりヱルサレムは荒廢れたり
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
我らの先祖が汝を讃たたへたる榮光ある我儕のきよき宮は火にやかれ 我儕のしたひたる處はことごとく荒はてたり
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
ヱホバよこれらの事あれども汝なほみづから制へたまふや なんぢなほ默してわれらに深くくるしみを受しめたまふや
