Isaiah 9
1 For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour The Lake-way over the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
今くるしみを受れども後には闇なかるべし 昔しはゼブルンの地ナフタリの地をあなどられしめ給ひしかど 後には海にそひたる地ヨルダンの外の地 ことくに人のガリラヤに榮をうけしめ給へり
2 the people who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light, —The dwellers in a land death-shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.
幽暗をあゆめる民は大なる光をみ 死蔭の地にすめる者のうへに光てらせり
3 Thou hast increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy, —They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute spoil.
なんぢ民をましその歡喜を大にしたまひければ かれらは收穫時によろこぶがごとく掠物をわかつときに樂むがごとく汝の前によろこべり
4 For, the yoke of their burden, The cross-bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian.
そは汝かれらがおへる軛とその肩の笞と虐ぐるものの杖とを折り これを折りてミデアンの日のごとくなし給ひたればなり
5 Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war-cloak rolled in blood Then shall serve for burning, food for fire;
すべて亂れたたかふ兵士のよろひと血にまみれたる衣とはみな火のもえくさとなりて焚るべし
6 For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder, —And his Name hath been called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.
ひとりの嬰兒われらのために生れたり 我儕はひとりの子をあたへられたり 政事はその肩にあり その名は奇妙また議士 また大能の神とこしへのちち 平和の君ととなへられん
7 Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end—Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, —From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
その政事と平和とはましくははりて窮りなし 且ダビデの位にすわりてその國ををさめ今よりのちとこしへに公平と正義とをもてこれを立これを保ちたまはん 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
8 A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, —And it shall alight on Israel;
主一言をヤコブにおくり之をイスラエルの上にのぞませ給へり
9 and the people shall all of them know [it] —Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria—Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:
すべてのこの民エフライムとサマリヤに居るものとは知ならん かれらは高ぶり誇る心をもていふ
10 Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, —Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.
瓦くづるるともわれら斫石をもて建 くはの木きらるるともわれら香柏をもて之にかへんと
11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, —And his enemies will he arouse:
この故にヱホバ、レヂンの敵をあげもちゐてイスラエルを攻しめ その仇をたけび勇しめたまはん
12 Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
前にアラム人あり後にペシリテ人あり 口をはりてイスラエルを呑んとす 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
13 Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them, —And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.
然どこの民はおのれをうつものに歸らず萬軍のヱホバを求めず
14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel—Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.
斯るゆゑにヱホバ一日のうちに首と尾と椶櫚のえだと葦とをイスラエルより斷切たまはん
15 The elder and favourite, he, is the head, —And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;
その首とは老たるもの尊きもの その尾とは謊言をのぶる預言者をいふなり
16 And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, —And, they who are led of them are destroyed,
この民をみちびく者はこれを迷はせその引導をうくる者はほろぶるなり
17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
このゆゑに主はその少壯者をよろこびたまはず その孤兒と寡婦とを憐みたまはざるべし 是その民はことごとく邪まなり惡をおこなふ者なり おのおのの口は愚かなる言をかたればなり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
18 For lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour, —Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up as a column of smoke.
惡は火のごとくもえ棘と荊とを食つくし茂りあふ林をやくべければみな煙となりむらがりて上騰らん
19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed, —And the people have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;
萬軍のヱホバの怒によりて地はくろく燒 その民は火のもえくさとなり人々たがひに相憐むことなし
20 And he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied, —Every one, the flesh of his own arm, will they eat:
人みぎに攫めどもなほ饑 ひだりに食へども尚あかず おのおのその腕の肉をくらふべし
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, They together—against Judah, —For all this, hath his anger not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
マナセはエフライムを エフライムはマナセをくらひ 又かれら相合てユダを攻めん 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
