Isaiah 55
1 Ho! every one that thirsteth! Come ye to the waters, Yea he that hath no money, —Come ye—buy corn, and eat, Yea come—buy corn without money, And without price, wine and milk,
噫なんぢら渇ける者ことごとく水にきたれ 金なき者もきたるべし 汝等きたりてかひ求めてくらへ きたれ金なく價なくして葡萄酒と乳とをかへ
2 Wherefore should ye spend, Money, for that which is not bread? Or your labour, for that which, satisfieth not? Keep on hearkening unto me, And, so eat that which is good, And let your soul take exquisite delight in fatness:
なにゆゑ糧にもあらぬ者のために金をいだし 飽ことを得ざるもののために勞するや われに聽從へ さらばなんぢら美物をくらふをえ脂をもてその靈魂をたのしまするを得ん
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hearken, That your soul, may live, —That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.
耳をかたぶけ我にきたりてきけ 汝等のたましひは活べし われ亦なんぢらととこしへの契約をなしてダビデに約せし變らざる惠をあたへん
4 Lo! As a witness to the peoples, have I given him, —As a leader and commander to the peoples:
視よわれ彼をたててもろもろの民の證とし又もろもろの民の君となし命令する者となせり
5 Lo! A nation thou shalt not know, shalt thou call, And, a nation which hath not known thee, unto thee, shall run, —For the sake of Yahweh thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath adorned thee.
なんぢは知ざる國民をまねかん 汝をしらざる國民はなんぢのもとに走りきたらん 此はなんぢの神ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者のゆゑによりてなり ヱホバなんぢを尊くしたまへり
6 Seek Yahweh while he may be found, —Call ye upon him while he is near:
なんぢら遇ことをうる間にヱホバを尋ねよ 近くゐたまふ間によびもとめよ
7 Let the lawless forsake his way, And the man of iniquity, his thoughts, —And let him return unto Yahweh That he may have compassion upon him, And unto our God, For he will abundantly pardon.
惡きものはその途をすて よこしまなる人はその思念をすててヱホバに反れ さらば憐憫をほどこしたまはん 我等の神にかへれ豐に赦をあたへ給はん
8 For, my thoughts, are not, your thoughts, Nor, your ways, my ways, —Declareth Yahweh.
ヱホバ宣給くわが思はなんぢらの思とことなり わが道はなんぢらのみちと異なれり
9 For, higher, are the heavens than the earth, —So, higher, are My ways than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
天の地よりたかきがごとく わが道はなんぢらの道よりも高く わが思はなんぢらの思よりもたかし
10 For, as the rain and the snow descend from the heavens. And thither, do not return, Except they have watered the earth. And caused it to bring forth and bud, —And given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
天より雨くだり雪おちて復かへらず 地をうるほして物をはえしめ 萌をいださしめて播ものに種をあたへ 食ふものに糧をあたふ
11 So, shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth, It shall not return unto me void, —But shall accomplish that which I please, And shall prosper in that whereunto I have sent it.
如此わが口よりいづる言もむなしくは我にかへらず わが喜ぶところを成し わが命じ遣りし事をはたさん
12 For with gladness shall ye come forth, And in peace, shall ye be led, —the mountains and the hills shall break out, before you, into shouts of triumph, And all the wild trees shall clap their hands:
なんぢらは喜びて出きたり平穩にみちびかれゆくべし山と岡とは聲をはなちて前にうたひ野にある樹はみな手をうたん
13 Instead of the thorn-bush, shall come up the fir-tree, And instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle-tree, —So shall it become unto Yahweh, a Name, A Sign age-abiding, which shall not be cut off.
松樹はいばらにかはりてはえ岡拈樹は棘にかはりてはゆべし 此はヱホバの頌美となり並とこしへの徴となりて絶ることなからん
