Isaiah 28
1 Woe [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
酔るものなるエフライム人よなんぢらの誇の冠はわざはひなるかな 酒におぼるるものよ肥たる谷の首にある凋んとする花のうるはしき飾はわざはひなるかな
2 Lo, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail — a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
みよ主はひとりの力ある强剛者をもち給へり それは雹をまじへたる暴風のごとく壞りそこなふ狂風のごとく大水のあぶれ漲るごとく烈しくかれを地になげうつべし
3 By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
酔るものなるエフライム人のほこりの冠は足にて踐にじられん
4 And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it [is] yet in his hand he swalloweth it.
肥たる谷のかしらにある凋んとする花のうるはしきかざりは 夏こぬに熟したる初結の無花果のごとし 見るものこれをみて取る手おそしと呑いるるなり
5 In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people.
その日萬軍のヱホバその民ののこれる者のために榮のかんむりとなり美しき冠となり給はん
6 And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
さばきの席にざするものには審判の靈をあたへ軍を門よりおひかへす者には力をあたへ給ふべし
7 And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
然どかれらも酒によりてよろめき濃酒によりてよろぼひたり 祭司と預言者とは濃酒によりてよろめき 酒にのまれ濃酒によりてよろぼひ 而して默示をみるときにもよろめき審判をおこなふときにも躓けり
8 For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth — without place!
すべて膳には吐たるものと穢とみちて潔きところなし
9 By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
かれは誰にをしへて知識をあたへんとするか 誰にしめして音信を暁らせんとするか 乳をたち懷をはなれたる者にするならんか
10 For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
そは誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にもすこしく敎ふ
11 For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
このゆゑに神あだし唇と異なる舌とをもてこの民にかたりたまはん
12 Unto whom He hath said, 'This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this — the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,
曩にかれらに言たまひけるは此は安息なり疲困者にやすみをあたへよ 此は安慰なりと されど彼らは聞ことをせざりき
13 And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
斯るがゆゑにヱホバの言かれらにくだりて 誡命にいましめをくはへ誡命にいましめをくはへ 度にのりをくはへ度にのりをくはへ 此にもすこしく彼にも少しくをしへん 之によりて彼等すすみてうしろに仆れそこなはれ罟にかかりて捕へらるべし
14 Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
なんぢら此ヱルサレムにある民ををさむるところの輕慢者よヱホバの言をきけ
15 Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.' (Sheol h7585)
なんぢらは云り 我ら死と契約をたて陰府とちぎりをむすべり 漲りあふるる禍害のすぐるときわれらに來らじ そはわれら虛僞をもて避所となし欺詐をもて身をかくしたればなりと (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone — a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.
このゆゑに神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ 視よわれシオンに一つの石をすゑてその基となせり これは試をへたる石たふとき隅石かたくすゑたる石なり これに依賴むものはあわつることなし
17 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
われ公平を準繩とし正義を錘とす 斯て雹はいつはりにてつくれる避所をのぞきさり水はその匿れたるところに漲りあふれん
18 And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place. (Sheol h7585)
汝らが死とたてし契約はきえうせ陰府とむすべるちぎりは成ことなし されば漲り溢るるわざはひのすぐるとき汝等はこれに踐たふさるべし (Sheol h7585)
19 From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it hath been only a trembling to consider the report.
その過るごとになんぢらを捕へん 朝々にすぎ晝も夜もすぐ この音信をきき わきまふるのみにても慴きをるなり
20 For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one's self out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one's self up in.
その狀は床みじかくして身をのぶることあたはず 衾せまくして身をおほふこと能はざるが如し
21 For as [at] mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As [at] the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work — strange [is] His work, And to do His deed — strange [is] His deed.'
そはヱホバ往昔ペラヂムの山にて起たまひしがごとくにたち ギベオンの谷にて忿恚をはなちたまひしが如くにいきどほり 而してその所爲をおこなひ給はん 奇しき所爲なり その工を成たまはん 異なる工なり
22 And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
この故になんぢら侮るなかれ 恐くはなんぢらの縲絏きびしくならん 我すでに全地のうへにさだまれる敗亡あるよしを主萬軍のヱホバより聞たればなり
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
なんぢら耳をかたぶけてわが聲をきけ懇ろにわが言をきくべし
24 The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
農夫たねをまかんに何で日々たがへし日々その地をすき その土塊をくだくことのみを爲んや
25 Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its own border?
もし地の面をたひらかにせばいかで罌粟をまき 馬芹の種をおろし 小麥をうねにうゑ 大麥をさだめたる處にうゑ 粗麥を畔にうゑざらんや
26 And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
斯のごときはかれの神これに智慧をあたへて敎へたまへるなり
27 For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
けしは連耞にてうたず 馬芹はそのうへに車輪をきしらせず罌栗をうつには杖をもちひ 馬芹をうつには棒をもちふ
28 Bread -[corn] is beaten small, For not for ever doth he sorely thresh it, Nor crushed [it] hath a wheel of his cart, Nor do his hoofs beat it small.
麥をくだくか否くるまにきしらせ馬にふませて落すことはすれども斷ずしかするにあらず これを碎くことをせざるべし
29 Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!
此もまた萬軍のヱホバよりいづ その謀略はくすしくその智慧はすぐれたり
