Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
アモツの子イザヤが示されたるユダとヱルサレムとにかかる言
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
すゑの日にヱホバの家の山はもろもろの山のいただきに堅立ち もろもろの嶺よりもたかく擧り すべての國は流のごとく之につかん
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
おほくの民ゆきて相語いはん 率われらヱホバの山にのぼりヤコブの神の家にゆかん神われらにその道ををしヘ給はん われらその路をあゆむべしと そは律法はシオンよりいでヱホバの言はヱルサレムより出べければなり
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
ヱホバはもろもろの國のあひだを鞫き おほくの民をせめたまはん 斯てかれらはその劒をうちかへて鋤となし その鎗をうちかへて鎌となし 國は國にむかひて劒をあげず戰鬪のことを再びまなばざるべし
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
ヤコブの家よきたれ 我儕ヱホバの光にあゆまん
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
主よなんぢはその民ヤコブの家をすてたまへり 此はかれらのなかに東のかたの風俗みち 皆ぺリシテ人のごとく陰陽師となり 異邦人のともがらと手をうちて盟をたてしが故なり
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
かれらの國には黄金白銀みちて財寶の數かぎりなし かれらの國には馬みちて戰車のかず限りなし
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
かれらの國には偶像みち皆おのが手の工その指のつくれる者ををがめり
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
賤しきものは屈められ尊きものは卑せらる かれらを容したまふなかれ
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
なんぢ岩間にいりまた土にかくれてヱホバの畏るべき容貌とその稜威の光輝とをさくべし
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
この日には目をあげて高ぶるもの卑せられ 驕る人かがめられ唯ヱホバのみ高くあげられ給はん
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
そは萬軍のヱホバの一の日あり すべて高ぶる者おごる者みづからを崇るものの上にのぞみて之をひくくし
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
またレバノンのたかく聳たるすべての香柏バシャンのすべての橿樹
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
もろもろの高山もろもろの聳えたる嶺
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
すべてのたかき櫓すべての堅固なる石垣
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
およびタルシシのすべての舟すべての慕ふべき美はしきものに臨むべし
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
この日には高ぶる者はかがめられ 驕る人はひくくせられ 唯ヱホバのみ高くあげられ給はん
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
かくて偶像はことごとく亡びうすべし
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
ヱホバたちて地を震動したまふとき人々そのおそるべき容貌とその稜威の光輝とをさけて巌の洞と地の穴とにいらん
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
その日人々おのが拝せんとて造れる白銀ぐうざうと黄金のぐうざうとを鼹鼠のあな蝙蝠の穴になげすて
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
岩々の隙けはしき山峽にいりヱホバの起て地をふるひうごかしたまふその畏るべき容貌と稜威のかがやきとを避ん
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
なんぢら鼻より息のいでいりする人に倚ることをやめよ斯るものは何ぞかぞふるに足らん
