< Isaiah 31 >

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
助をえんとてエジプトにくだり馬によりたのむものは禍ひなるかな 戰車おほきが故にこれにたのみ騎兵はなはだ强きがゆゑに之にたのむ されどイスラエルの聖者をあふがずヱホバを求ることをせざるなり
2 Yet he also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
然はあれどもヱホバもまた智慧あるべし かならず禍害をくだしてその言をひるがへしたまはず 起てあしきものの家をせめ また不義を行ふ者の助をせめ給はん
3 Now the Egyptians [are] men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
かのエジプト人は人にして神にあらずその馬は肉にして靈にあらず ヱホバその手をのばしたまはば助くるものも蹟き たすけらるる者もたふれてみなひとしく亡びん
4 For thus hath the LORD spoken to me, As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
ヱホバ如此われにいひたまふ 獅のほえ壯獅の獲物をつかみてほえたけれるとき 許多のひつじかひ相呼つどひてむかひゆくとも その聲によりて挫けずその喧譁しきによりて臆せざるごとく 萬軍のヱホバくだりてシオンの山およびその岡にて戰ひ給ふべし
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it]; [and] passing over he will preserve [it].
鳥の雛をまもるがごとく萬軍のヱホバはヱルサレムをまもりたまはん これを護りてこれをすくひ踰越てこれを援けたまはん
6 Turn ye to [him from] whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
イスラエルの子輩よなんぢらさきには甚だしく主にそむけり 今たちかへるべし
7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you [for] a sin.
なんぢらおのが手につくりて罪ををかしし白銀のぐうざう黄金の偶像をその日おのおのなげすてん
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
爰にアツスリヤびとは劍にてたふれん されど人のつるぎにあらず 劍かれらをほろぼさん されど世の人のつるぎにあらず かれら劍のまへより逃はしりその壯きものは役丁とならん
9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is] in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
かれらの磐はおそれによりて逝去り その君たちは旗をみてくじけん こはヱホバの御言なり ヱホバの火はシオンにありヱホバの爐はヱルサレムにあり
