Isaiah 36
1 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアツスリヤの王セナケリブ上りきたりてユダのもろもろの堅固なる邑をせめとれり
2 The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
アツスリヤ王ラキシよりラブシヤケをヱルサレムに遣はし大軍をひきゐてヒゼキヤ王のもとに往しむ ラブシヤケ漂工の野のおほぢの傍なる上の池の樋にそひてたてり
3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.
この時ヒゼキヤの子なる家司エリアキム 書記セブナ、アサフの子なる史官ヨア出てこれを迎ふ
4 Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
ラブシヤケかれらにいひけるは なんぢら今ヒゼキヤにいへ大王アツスリヤの王かくいへり なんぢの恃とするその恃むところは何なるか
5 I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
我いふ なんぢが説ところの軍のはかりごととその能力とはただ口唇のことばのみ 今なんぢ誰によりたのみて我にさかふことをなすや
6 Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
視よなんぢエジプトに依賴めり これ傷める葦の杖によりたのめるがごとし もし人これに倚もたれなばその手をつきさされん エジプト王パロがすべて己によりたのむものに對するは斯のごとし
7 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?”
汝われらはわれらの神ヱホバに依賴めりと我にいはんかそは曩にヒゼキヤが高きところと祭壇とをみな取去てユダとヱルサレムとにむかひ汝等ここなる一つの祭壇のまへにて拜すべしといへる夫ならずや
8 Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
いま請わが君アツスリヤ王に賭をせよ われ汝に二千の馬を與ふべければ汝よりこれに乗ものをいだせ 果して出しうべしや
9 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
然ばいかで我君のいとちひさき僕の長一人をだに退くることを得んや なんぞエジプトによりたのみて戰車と騎兵とをえんとするや
10 Have I come up now without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said to me, “Go up against this land, and destroy it.”’”
いま我のぼりきたりてこの國をせめほろぼすはヱホバの旨にあらざるべけんや ヱホバわれにいひたまはく のぼりゆきてこの國をせめぼろぼせと
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
爰にエリアキムとセブナとヨアと共にラブシヤケにいひけるは請スリアの方言にて僕輩にかたれ我儕これをさとりうるなり石垣のうへなる民のきくところにてはユダヤの方言をもてわれらに語るなかれ
12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
ラブシヤケいひけるは わが君はこれらのことをなんぢの君となんぢとにのみ語らんために我をつかはししならんや なんぢらと共におのが糞をくらひおのが溺をのまんとする石垣のうへに坐する人々にも我をつかはししならずや
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
斯てラブシヤケたちてユダヤの方言もて大聲によばはりいひけるは なんぢら大王アツスリヤ王のことばをきくべし
14 The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
王かくのたまへり なんぢらヒゼキヤに惑はさるるなかれ 彼なんぢらを救ふことあたはず
15 Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us. This city won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
ヒゼキヤがなんぢらをヱホバに賴しめんとする言にしたがふなかれ 彼いへらく ヱホバかならず我儕をすくひこの邑はアツスリヤ王の手にわたさるることなしと
16 Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
ヒゼキヤに聽從ふなかれ アツスリヤ王かくのたまへり なんぢらわれと親和をなし出できたりて我にくだれ おのおのその葡萄とその無花果とをくらひ かのおのその井の水をのむことを得べし
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
遂には我きたりて汝等をほかの國にたづさへゆかん その國はなんぢの國のごとき國にして 穀物 ぶだう酒 パンおよび葡萄園あり
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
おそらくはをヒゼキヤなんぢらに説てヱホバわれらを救ふべしといはん 然どももろもろの國の神等のなかにその國をアツスリヤ王の手より救へる者ありしや
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
ハマテ、アルバデの神等いづこにありや セバルワイムの神等いづこにありや 又わが手よりサマリヤを救出しし神ありや
20 Who are they amongst all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
これらの國のもろもろの神のなかに誰かその國をわが手よりすくひいだしし者ありや さればヱホバも何でわが手よりヱルサレムを救ひいだし得んと
21 But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
如此ありければ民は默して一言をもこたへざりき そは之にこたふるなかれとの王のおほせありつればなり
22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
そのときヒルキヤの子なる家司エリアキム書記セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨアころもを裂てヒゼキヤにゆき之にラブシヤケの言をつげたり
