Isaiah 43
1 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, —Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!
ヤコブよなんぢを創造せるヱホバいま如此いひ給ふ イスラエルよ汝をつくれるもの今かく言給ふ おそるるなかれ我なんぢを贖へり 我なんぢの名をよべり汝はわが有なり
2 When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, —When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee;
なんぢ水中をすぐるときは我ともにあらん河のなかを過るときは水なんぢの上にあふれじ なんぢ火中をゆくとき焚るることなく火焰もまた燃つかじ
3 For, I,—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, —I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead.
我はヱホバなんぢの神イスラエルの聖者 なんぢの救主なり われエジプトを予えてなんぢの贖代となし エテオピアとセバとをなんぢに代ふ
4 Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, —And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life,
われ看てなんぢを寶とし尊きものとして亦なんぢを愛す この故にわれ人をもてなんぢにかへ 民をなんぢの命にかへん
5 Do not fear for, with thee, I am, —From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:
懼るるなかれ我なんぢとともにあり 我なんぢの裔を東よりきたらせ西より汝をあつむべし
6 I will say to the North Give up! And to the South Do not withhold! Bring in My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;
われ北にむかひて釋せといひ南にむかひて留るなかれといはん わが子輩を遠きよりきたらせ わが女らを地の極よりきたらせよ
7 Every one who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!
すべてわが名をもて稱へらるる者をきたらせよ 我かれらをわが榮光のために創造せり われ曩にこれを造りかつ成をはれり
8 Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A deaf, that have, ears.
目あれども瞽者のごとく耳あれど聾者のごとき民をたづさへ出よ
9 All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them hear, and say Truth!
國々はみな相集ひもろもろの民はあつまるべし 彼等のうち誰かいやさきに成るべきことをつげ之をわれらに聞することを得んや その證人をいだして己の是なるをあらはすべし 彼等ききて此はまことなりといはん
10 Ye, are my witnesses Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, —That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being:
ヱホバ宣給くなんぢらはわが證人わがえらみし僕なり 然ばなんぢら知てわれを信じわが主なるをさとりうべし 我よりまへにつくられし神なく我よりのちにもあることなからん
11 I—I, am Yahweh, —And there is none besides me ready to save:
ただ我のみ我はヱホバなり われの外にすくふ者あることなし
12 I, have told—and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh That, I, am GOD.
われ前につげまた救をほどこし また此事をきかせたり 汝等のうちには他神なかりき なんぢらはわが證人なり 我は神なり これヱホバ宣給るなり
13 Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, —I work and who reverseth?
今よりわれは主なりわが手より救ひいだし得るものなし われ行はば誰かとどむることを得んや
14 Thus saith Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down as fugitives, all of them, —Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry.
なんぢらを贖ふものイスラエルの聖者ヱホバかく言たまふ なんぢらの爲にわれ人をバビロンにつかはし彼處にあるカルデヤ人をことごとく下らせ その宴樂の船にのりてのがれしむ
15 I—Yahweh, am Your Holy One, —The Creator of Israel, Your King.
われはヱホバなんぢらの聖者イスラエルを創造せしもの又なんぢらの王なり
16 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Who setteth in the sea, a way, —And in the mighty waters, a path;
ヱホバは海のなかに大路をまうけ大なる水のなかに徑をつくり
17 Who bringeth forth Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down They shall not arise, They are extinguished Like a wick, are they quenched!
戰車および馬 軍兵 武士をいできたらせ ことごとく仆れて起ることあたはず 皆ほろびて燈火のきえうするが如くならしめ給へり
18 Do not keep in mind former things, —And things of old, do not consider:
ヱホバ言給く なんぢら往昔のことを思ひいづるなかれ また上古のことをかんがふるなかれ
19 Behold me! doing a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers:
視よわれ新しき事をなさん頓ておこるべし なんぢら知ざるべけんや われ荒野に道をまうけ沙漠に河をつくらん
20 The wild beast of the field shall honour me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto my people, my chosen:
野の獸われを崇むべし 野犬および駝鳥もまた然り われ水を荒野にいだし河を沙漠にまうけてわが民わがえらびたる者にのましむべければなり
21 A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.
この民はわが頌美をのべしめんとて我おのれのために造れるなり
22 Yet not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob, —For thou hast been wearied of me O Israel:
然るにヤコブよ汝われを呼たのまざりき イスラエルよ汝われを厭ひたり
23 Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me, —I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee with frankincense;
なんぢ燔祭のひつじを我にもちきたらず犠牲をもて我をあがめざりき われ汝にそなへものの荷をおはせざりき また乳香をもて汝をわづらはせざりき
24 Thou hast not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me, —Thou hast done nothing but oppress me with thy sins, Thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
なんぢは銀貨をもて我がために菖蒲をかはず 犠牲のあぶらをもて我をあかしめず 反てなんぢの罪の荷をわれに負せ なんぢの邪曲にて我をわづらはせたり
25 I—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, —And, thy sins, not remember.
われこそ我みづからの故によりてなんぢの咎をけし汝のつみを心にとめざるなれ
26 Put me in mind, Let us enter into judgment at once, —Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified:
なんぢその是なるをあらはさんがために己が事をのべて我に記念せしめよ われら相共にあげつらふべし
27 Thy chief father, hath sinned, And thine interpreters, have transgressed against me;
なんぢの遠祖つみををかし汝のをしへの師われにそむけり
28 So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place, —And deliver Jacob to be devoted to destruction, and Israel, unto reviling!
この故にわれ聖所の長たちを汚さしめヤコブを詛はしめイスラエルをののしらしめん
