Isaiah 62
1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
シオンの義が朝日の輝きのようにあらわれいで、エルサレムの救が燃えるたいまつの様になるまで、わたしはシオンのために黙せず、エルサレムのために休まない。
2 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
もろもろの国はあなたの義を見、もろもろの王は皆あなたの栄えを見る。そして、あなたは主の口が定められる新しい名をもってとなえられる。
3 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
また、あなたは主の手にある麗しい冠となり、あなたの神の手にある王の冠となる。
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
あなたはもはや「捨てられた者」と言われず、あなたの地はもはや「荒れた者」と言われず、あなたは「わが喜びは彼女にある」ととなえられ、あなたの地は「配偶ある者」ととなえられる。主はあなたを喜ばれ、あなたの地は配偶を得るからである。
5 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
若い者が処女をめとるようにあなたの子らはあなたをめとり、花婿が花嫁を喜ぶようにあなたの神はあなたを喜ばれる。
6 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
エルサレムよ、わたしはあなたの城壁の上に見張人をおいて、昼も夜もたえず、もだすことのないようにしよう。主に思い出されることを求める者よ、みずから休んではならない。
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
主がエルサレムを堅く立てて、全地に誉を得させられるまで、お休みにならぬようにせよ。
8 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
主はその右の手をさし、大能のかいなをさして誓われた、「わたしは再びあなたの穀物をあなたの敵に与えて食べさせない。また、あなたが労して得たぶどう酒を異邦人に与えて飲ませない。
9 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
しかし、穀物を刈り入れた者はこれを食べて主をほめたたえ、ぶどうを集めた者はわが聖所の庭でこれを飲む」。
10 Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
門を通って行け、通って行け。民の道を備えよ。土を盛り、土を盛って大路を設けよ。石を取りのけ。もろもろの民の上に旗をあげよ。
11 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
見よ、主は地の果にまで告げて言われた、「シオンの娘に言え、『見よ、あなたの救は来る。見よ、その報いは主と共にあり、その働きの報いは、その前にある』と。
12 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
彼らは『聖なる民、主にあがなわれた者』ととなえられ、あなたは『人に尋ね求められる者、捨てられない町』ととなえられる」。
