Isaiah 9
1 The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond 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 walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on 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 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
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 his burden, the beam across his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on 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 For every boot treading in the tumult and the garments rolled in blood will be burned, fuel for the 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 to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; and the rule will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
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 his government and of peace there will be no end, as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do 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 The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell 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 All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart,
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 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
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 Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
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 the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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 will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
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 Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, 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 leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies 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 Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
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 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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 Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in 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 fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No man spares his brother.
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 They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
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 will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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
