Isaiah 46
1 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
ベルは伏しネボは屈む かれらの像はけものと家畜とのうへにあり なんぢらが擡げあるきしものは荷となりて疲れおとろへたるけものの負ところとなりぬ
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
かれらは屈みかれらは共にふし その荷となれる者をすくふこと能はずして己とらはれゆく
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
ヤコブの家よイスラエルのいへの遺れるものよ 腹をいでしより我におはれ胎をいでしより我にもたげられしものよ 皆われにきくべし
4 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
なんぢらの年老るまで我はかはらず白髮となるまで我なんぢらを負ん 我つくりたれば擡ぐべし我また負ひかつ救はん
5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
なんぢら我をたれに比べ たれに配ひ たれに擬らへ かつ相くらぶべきか
6 — They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
人々ふくろより黄金をかたぶけいだし權衡をもて白銀をはかり金工をやとひてこれを神につくらせ之にひれふして拜む
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
彼等はこれをもたげて肩にのせ 負ひゆきてその處に安置す すなはち立てその處をはなれず 人これにむかひて呼はれども答ふること能はず 又これをすくひて苦難のうちより出すことあたはず
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
なんぢら此事をおもひいでて堅くたつべし 悖逆者よこのことを心にとめよ
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God — and there is none like Me.
汝等いにしへより以來のことをおもひいでよ われは神なり我のほかに神なし われは神なり我のごとき者なし
10 Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
われは終のことを始よりつげ いまだ成ざることを昔よりつげ わが謀畧はかならず立つといひ すべて我がよろこぶことを成んといへり
11 Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
われ東より鷲をまねき遠國よりわが定めおける人をまねかん 我このことを語りたれば必らず來らすべし 我このことを謀りたればかならず成すべし
12 Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
なんぢら心かたくなにして義にとほざかるものよ我にきけ
13 I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
われわが義をちかづかしむ可ればその來ること遠からず わが救おそからず 我すくひをシオンにあたへ わが榮光をイスラエルにあたへん
