Isaiah 29
1 Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, —Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
ああアリエルよアリエルよ ああダビデの營をかまへたる邑よ としに年をくはへ節會まはりきたらば
2 Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, —And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
われアリエルをなやまし之にかなしみと歎息とあらしめん 彼をアリエルのごとき者となすべし
3 And I will encamp round about against thee, —And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
われ汝のまはりに營をかまへ保砦をきづきて汝をかこみ櫓をたててなんぢを攻べし
4 And thou shalt be brought low—Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, —And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
かくてなんぢは卑くせられ 地にふしてものいひ塵のなかより低聲をいだしてかたらん 汝のこゑは巫女のこゑのごとく地よりいで汝のことばは塵のなかより囀づるがごとし
5 Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, —And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
然どなんぢのあだの群衆はこまやかなる塵の如く あらぶるものの群衆はふきさらるる粃糠の如くならん 俄にまたたく間にこの事あるべし
6 From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
萬軍のヱホバはいかづち 地震 おほごゑ 暴風 つむじかぜ及びやきつくす火の燄をもて臨みたまふべし
7 And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, —Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
斯てアリエルを攻てたたかふ國々のもろもろ アリエルとその城とをせめたたかひて難ますものは みな夢のごとく夜のまぼろしの如くならん
8 Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
饑たるものの食ふことを夢みて醒きたればその心なほ空しきがごとく 渇けるものの飮ことを夢みて醒きたれば疲れかつ頻にのまんことを欲するがごとく シオンの山をせめて戰ふくにぐにの群衆もまた然あらん
9 Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, —They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
なんぢらためらへ而しておどろかん なんぢら放肆にせよ而して目くらまん かれらは酔りされど酒のゆゑにあらず かれらはよろめけりされど濃酒のゆゑにあらず
10 For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes—the prophets, —And, your heads—the seers, hath he covered,
そはヱホバ酣睡の靈をなんぢらの上にそそぎ 而してなんぢらの目をとぢ なんぢらの面をおほひたまへり その目は預言者そのかほは先知者なり
11 And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
かかるが故にすべての默示はなんぢらには封じたる書のことばのごとくなり 文字しれる人にわたして請これを讀といはんに答へて封じたるがゆゑによむこと能はずといはん
12 And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
また文字しらぬ人にわたして請これをよめといはんにこたへて文字しらざるなりといはん
13 Wherefore My Lord hath said, —Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
主いひ給はく この民は口をもて我にちかづき口唇をもてわれを敬へども その心はわれに遠かれり そのわれを畏みおそるるは人の誡命によりてをしへられしのみ
14 Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, —So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
この故にわれこの民のなかにて再びくすしき事をおこなはん そのわざは奇しくしていとあやし かれらの中なる智者のちゑはうせ聰明者のさときはかくれん
15 Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, —and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and—Who can understand us?
己がはかりごとをヱホバに深くかくさんとする者はわざはひなるかな 暗中にありて事をおこなひていふ 誰かわれを見んや たれか我をしらんやと
16 Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
なんぢらは曲れり いかで陶工をみて土塊のごとくおもふ可んや 造られし者おのれを作れるものをさして我をつくれるにあらずといふをえんや 形づくられたる器はかたちづくりし者をさして智慧なしといふを得んや
17 Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, —And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
暫くしてレバノンはかはりて良田となり 良田は林のごとく見ゆるとききたるならずや
18 Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, —And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
その日聾者はこの書のことばをきき盲者の目はくらきより闇よりみることを得べし
19 And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, —And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
謙だるものはヱホバによりてその歡喜をまし 人のなかの貧きものはイスラエルの聖者によりて快樂をうべし
20 For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity: —
暴るものはたえ 侮慢者はうせ 邪曲の機をうかがふ者はことごとく斷滅さるべければなり
21 Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, —And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
かれらは訟をきく時まげて人をつみし 邑門にていさむるものを謀略におとしいれ 虛しき語をかまへて義人をしりぞく
22 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham, —Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
この故にむかしアブラハムを贖ひたまひしヱホバはヤコブの家につきて如此いひたまふ ヤコブは今より恥をかうむらず その面はいまより色をうしなはず
23 For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, —Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
かれの子孫はその中にわがおこなふ手のわざをみん その時わが名を聖としヤコブの聖者を聖としてイスラエルの神をおそるべし
24 Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
心あやまれるものも知識をえ つぶやけるものも敎誨をまなばん
