Isaiah 37
1 It came about that when King Hezekiah heard their report, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yahweh.
ヒゼキヤ王これをききてその衣をさき麁衣をまとひてヱホバの家にゆき
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, all covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet.
家司エリアキム書記セブナおよび祭司のなかの長老等をして皆あらたへをまとはせてアモツの子預言者イザヤのもとにゆかしむ
3 They said to him, “Hezekiah says, 'This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, like when a child is ready to be born, but the mother has no strength to give birth to her child.
かれらイザヤにいひけるは ヒゼキヤ如此いへり けふは患難と責と辱かしめの日なり そは子うまれんとして之をうみいだすの力なし
4 It may be Yahweh your God will hear the words of the chief commander, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Now lift up your prayer for the remnant that is still here.'”
なんぢの神ヱホバあるひはラブシヤケがもろもろの言をききたまはん 彼はその君アツスリヤ王につかはされて活る神をそしれり なんぢの神ヱホバその言をききて或はせめたまふならん されば請なんぢこの遺れるもののために祈禱をささげよと
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
かくてヒゼキヤ王の諸僕イザヤにいたる
6 and Isaiah said to them, “Say to your master: 'Yahweh says, “Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have insulted me.
イザヤかれらに言けるは なんぢらの君につげよ ヱホバ斯いひたまへり曰く アツスリヤ王のしもべら我をののしりけがせり なんぢらその聞しことばによりて懼るるなかれ
7 Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear a certain report and go back to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”'”
視よわれかれが意をうごかすべければ 一つの風聲をききておのが國にかへらん かれをその國にて劍にたふれしむべし
8 Then the chief commander returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that the king had gone away from Lachish.
爰にラブシヤケはアツスリヤ王がラキシを離れさりしとききて歸りけるとき際しも王はリブナを攻をれり
9 Then Sennacherib heard that Tirhakah king of Cush and Egypt had mobilized to fight against him, so he sent messengers again to Hezekiah with a message:
このときエテオピアの王テルハカの事についてきけり云く かれいでて汝とたたかふべしと このことをききて使者をヒゼキヤに遣していふ
10 “Say to Hezekiah, king of Judah, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
なんぢらユダの王ヒゼキヤにつげて如此いへ なんぢが賴める神なんぢを欺きてヱルサレムはアツスリヤ王の手にわたされじといふを聽ことなかれ
11 See, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them completely. So will you be rescued?
視よアツスリヤの王等もろもろの國にいかなることをおこなひ如何してこれを悉くほろぼししかを汝ききしならん されば汝すくはるることを得んや
12 Have the gods of the nations rescued them, the nations that my fathers destroyed: Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden in Tel Assar?
わが先祖たちの滅ぼししゴザン、ハラン、レゼフおよびテラサルなるエデンの族など此等のくにぐにの神はその國をすくひたりしや
13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the cities of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'”
ハマテの王アルバデの王セバルワイムの都の王ヘナの王およびイワの王はいづこにありやと
14 Hezekiah received this letter from hand of the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the house of Yahweh and spread it before him.
ヒゼキヤつかひの手より書をうけて之を讀り しかしてヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの宮にのぼりゆきヱホバの前にこのふみを展ぶ
15 Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh:
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバに祈ていひけるは
16 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, you who sit above the cherubim, you are God alone over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
ケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神よ ただ汝のみ地のうへなるよろづの國の神なり なんぢは天地をつくりたまへり
17 Turn your ear, Yahweh, and listen. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see, and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.
ヱホバよ耳をかたむけて聽たまへ ヱホバよ目をひらきて視たまへ セナケリブ使者して活る神をそしらしめし言をことごとくききたまへ
18 It is true, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations and their lands.
ヱホバよ實にアツスリヤの王等はもろもろの國民とその地とをあらし毀ち
19 They have put their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, just wood and stone. So the Assyrians have destroyed them.
かれらの神たちを火になげいれたり これらのものは神にあらず 人の手の工にして あるひは木あるひは石なり 斯るがゆゑに滅ぼされたり
20 So now, Yahweh our God, save us from his power, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh alone.”
さればわれらの神ヱホバよ 今われらをアツスリヤ王の手より救ひいだして 地のもろもろの國にただ汝のみヱホバなることを知しめたまへ
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says, 'Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
ここにアモツの子イザヤ人をつかはしてヒゼキヤにいはせけるは イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふ 汝はアツスリヤ王セナケリブのことにつきて我にいのれり
22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken about him: “The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and laughs you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head at you.
ヱホバが彼のことにつきて語り給へるみことばは是なり いはくシオンの處女はなんぢを侮りなんぢをあざけり ヱルサレムの女子はなんぢの背後より頭をふれり
23 Whom have you defied and insulted? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel.
汝がそしりかつ罵れるものは誰ぞ なんぢが聲をあげ目をたかく向てさからひたるものはたれぞ イスラエルの聖者ならずや
24 By your servants you have defied the Lord and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the heights of the mountains, to the highest elevations of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and choice cypress trees there, and I will enter into its farthest high places, its most fruitful forest.
なんぢその使者によりて主をそしりていふ 我はおほくの戰車をひきゐて山々のいただきに登りレバノンの奧にまでいりぬ 我はたけたかき香柏とうるはしき松樹とをきり またその境なるたかき處にゆき腴たる地の林にゆかん
25 I have dug wells and drunk water; I dried up all the rivers of Egypt under the soles of my feet.'
我は井をほりて水をのみたり われは足跖をもてエジプトの河々をからさんと
26 Have you not heard how I determined it long ago and worked it out in ancient times? Now I am bringing it to pass. You are here to reduce impregnable cities into heaps of ruins.
なんぢ聞ずや これらのことはわが昔よりなす所 いにしへの日よりさだめし所なり 今なんぢがこの堅城をこぼちあらして石堆となすも亦わがきたらしし所なり
27 Their inhabitants, of little strength, are shattered and ashamed. They are plants in the field, green grass, the grass on the roof or in the field, before the east wind.
そのなかの民はちから弱くをののきて恥をいだき 野草のごとく靑き菜のごとく屋蓋の草のごとく未だそだたざる苗のごとし
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
我なんぢが居ること出入すること又われにむかひて怒りさけべることをしる
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose, and my bit in your mouth; I will turn you back the way you came.”
なんぢが我にむかひて怒りさけべると汝がほこれる言とわが耳にいりたれば我なんぢの鼻に環をはめ汝のくちびるに鑣をつけて汝がきたれる路よりかへらしめん
30 This will be the sign for you: This year you will eat what grows wild, and in the second year what grows from that. But in the third year you must plant and harvest, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
ヒゼキヤよ我がなんぢにたまふ徴はこれなり なんぢら今年は落穂より生たるものを食ひ 明年は糵生より出たるものを食はん 三年にあたりては種ことをなし收ことをなし 葡萄ぞのを作りてその果を食ふべし
31 The remnant of the house of Judah that survives will again take root and bear fruit.
ユダの家ののがれて遺れる者はふたたび下は根をはり上は果を結ぶべし
32 For from Jerusalem a remnant will come out; from Mount Zion survivors will come. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.'”
そは遺るものはヱルサレムよりいで脱るるものはシオンの山よりいづるなり 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
33 Therefore Yahweh says this about the king of Assyria: “He will not come into this city and he will not shoot an arrow here. He will not come before it with shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
この故にヱホバ、アツスリヤの王については如此いひたまふ 彼はこの城にいらず ここに箭をはなたず盾を城のまへにならべず 壘をきづきて攻ることなし
34 The way by which he came will be the same way he will leave; he will not enter this city—this is Yahweh's declaration.
かれはそのきたりし道よりかへりてこの城にいらず
35 For I will defend this city and rescue it, for my own sake and for David my servant's sake.”
我おのれの故によりて僕ダビデの故によりて この城をまもり この城をすくはん これヱホバ宣給るなり
36 Then the angel of Yahweh went out and attacked the camp of the Assyrians, putting to death 185,000 soldiers. When the men arose early in the morning, dead bodies lay everywhere.
ヱホバの使者いできたりアツスリヤの陣營のなかにて十八萬五千人をうちころせり早晨におきいでて見ればみな死てかばねとなれり
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria left Israel and went home and stayed in Nineveh.
アツスリヤ王セナケリブ起てかへりゆきニネベにとどまる
38 Later, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisrok his god, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword. Then they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
一日おのが神ニスロクのみやにて禮拜をなし居しにその子アデランメレクとシヤレゼルと劍をもて彼をころし而してアララテの地ににげゆけり かれが子エサルハドンつぎて王となりぬ
