Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 天はわが位地はわが足臺なり なんぢら我がために如何なる家をたてんとするか 又いかなる處かわが休憩の場とならん
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
ヱホバ宣給く 我手はあらゆる此等のものを造りてこれらの物ことごとく成れり 我はただ苦しみまた心をいため我がことばを畏れをののくものを顧みるなりと
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
牛をほふるものは人をころす者のごとく 羔を犠牲とするものは狗をくびりころす者のごとく 祭物をささぐるものは豕の血をささぐる者のごとく 香をたくものは偶像をほむる者のごとし 彼等はおのが途をえらみその心ににくむべき者をたのしみとせり
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
我もまた災禍をえらびて彼等にあたへ その懼るるところの事を彼らに臨ましめん そは我よびしとき應ふるものなく我かたりしとき聽ことをせざりき わが目にあしき事をおこなひわが好まざる事をえらみたればなり
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
なんぢらヱホバの言をおそれをののく者よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらの兄弟なんぢらを憎みなんぢらをわが名のために逐出していふ 願くはヱホバその榮光をあらはして我儕になんぢらの歡喜を見せしめよと 然どかれらは恥をうけん
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
騒亂るこゑ邑よりきこえ聲ありて宮よりきこゆ 此はヱホバその仇にむくいをなしたまふ聲なり
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
シオンは產のなやみを知ざるさきに生 その劬勞きたらざるさきに男子をうみいだせり
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
誰がかかる事をききしや誰がかかる類をみしや 一の國はただ一日のくるしみにて成べけんや 一つの國民は一時にうまるべけんや 然どシオンはくるしむ間もなく直にその子輩をうめり
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
ヱホバ言給く われ產にのぞましめしに何でうまざらしめんや なんぢの神いひたまはく 我はうましむる者なるにいかで胎をとざさんや
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
ヱルサレムを愛するものよ皆かれとともに喜べ かれの故をもてたのしめ 彼のために悲めるものよ皆かれとともに喜びたのしめ
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
そはなんぢら乳をすふ如くヱルサレムの安慰をうけて飽ことを得ん また乳をしぼるごとくその豐なる榮をうけておのづから心さわやかならん
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 視よわれ河のごとく彼に平康をあたへ 漲ぎる流のごとく彼にもろもろの國の榮をあたへん 而して汝等これをすひ背におはれ膝におかれて樂しむべし
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
母のその子をなぐさむるごとく我もなんぢらを慰めん なんぢらはヱルサレムにて安慰をうべし
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
なんぢら見て心よろこばん なんぢらの骨は若草のさかゆるごとくだるべし ヱホバの手はその僕等にあらはれ又その仇をはげしく怒りたまはん
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
視よヱホバは火中にあらはれて來りたまふその 車輦ははやちのごとし 烈しき威勢をもてその怒をもらし火のほのほをもてその譴をほどこし給はん
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
ヱホバは火をもて劍をもてよろづの人を刑ひたまはん ヱホバに刺殺さるるもの多かるべし
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
ヱホバ宣給く みづからを潔くしみづからを別ちて園にゆき その中にある木の像にしたがひ 豕の肉けがれたる物および鼠をくらふ者はみな共にたえうせん
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
我かれらの作爲とかれらの思念とをしれり 時きたらばもろもろの國民ともろもろの族とをあつめん 彼等きたりてわが榮光をみるべし
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
我かれらのなかに一つの休徴をたてて逃れたる者をもろもろの國すなはちタルシシよく弓をひくブル、ルデおよびトバル、ヤワン又わが聲名をきかずわが榮光をみざる遙かなる諸島につかはさん 彼等はわが榮光をもろもろの國にのべつたふべし
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
ヱホバいひ給ふ かれらはイスラエルの子輩がきよき器にそなへものをもりてヱホバの家にたづさへきたるが如く なんぢらの兄弟をもろもろの國の中よりたづさへて馬 車 轎 騾 駱駝にのらしめ わが聖山ヱルサレムにきたらせてヱホバの祭物とすべし
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
ヱホバいひ給ふ 我また彼等のうちより人をえらびて祭司としレビ人とせんと
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
ヱホバ宣給く わが造らんとする新しき天とあたらしき地とわが前にながくとどまる如く なんちの裔となんぢの名はながくとどまらん
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
ヱホバいひ給ふ新月ごとに安息日ごとによろづの人わが前にきたりて崇拜をなさん
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
かれら出てわれに逆きたる人の屍をみん その蛆しなずその火きえず よろづの人にいみきらはるべし
