Isaiah 49
1 Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of my name.
もろもろの島よ我にきけ 遠きところのもろもろの民よ耳をかたむけよ 我うまれいづるよりヱホバ我を召し われ母の胎をいづるよりヱホバわが名をかたりつげたまへり
2 And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.
ヱホバわが口を利劍となし我をその手のかげにかくし 我をとぎすましたる矢となして箙にをさめ給へり
3 And He saith to me, 'My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'
また我にいひ給はく 汝はわが僕なり わが榮光のあらはるべきイスラエルなりと
4 And I said, 'For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.
されど我いへり われは徒然にはたらき益なくむなしく力をつひやしぬと 然はあれど誠にわが審判はヱホバにあり わが報はわが神にあり
5 And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been my strength.)
ヤコブをふたたび己にかへらしめイスラエルを己のもとにあつまらせんとて 我をうまれいでしより立ておのれの僕となし給へるヱホバいひ給ふ(我はヱホバの前にたふとくせらる 又わが神はわが力となりたまへり)
6 And He saith, 'It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'
その聖言にいはく なんぢわが僕となりてヤコブのもろもろの支派をおこし イスラエルのうちののこりて全うせしものを歸らしむることはいと輕し 我また汝をたてて異邦人の光となし 我がすくひを地のはてにまで到らしむ
7 Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: 'Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'
ヱホバ、イスラエルの贖主イスラエルの聖者は人にあなどらるるもの 民にいみきらはるるもの 長たちに役せらるる者にむかひて如此いひたまふ もろもろの王は見てたちもろもろの君はみて拜すべし これ信實あるヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者なんぢを選びたまへるが故なり
8 Thus said Jehovah: 'In a time of good pleasure I answered thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee, and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ われ惠のときに汝にこたへ救の日になんぢを助けたり われ汝をまもりて民の契約とし國をおこし荒すたれたる地をまた產業としてかれらにつがしめん
9 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. On the ways they feed, And in all high places is their pasture.
われ縛しめられたる者にいでよといひ暗にをるものに顯れよといはん かれら途すがら食ふことをなし もろもろの禿なる山にも牧草をうべし
10 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by fountains of waters doth tend them.
かれらは饑ずかわかず 又やけたる砂もあつき日もうつことなし 彼等をあはれむもの之をみちびきて泉のほとりに和かにみちびき給ければなり
11 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
我わがもろもろの山を路とし わが大路をたかくせん
12 Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.
視よ人々あるひは遠きよりきたり あるひは北また西よりきたらん 或はまたシニムの地よりきたるべし
13 Sing, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people, And His afflicted ones He doth pity.
天ようたへ地よよろこべ もろもろの山よ聲をはなちてうたへ ヱホバはその民をなぐさめその苦むものを憐みたまへばなり
14 And Zion saith, 'Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me.'
然どシオンはいへりヱホバ我をすて主われをわすれたまへりと
15 Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one — the son of her womb? Yea, these forget — but I — I forget not thee.
婦その乳兒をわすれて己がはらの子をあはれまざることあらんや 縦ひかれら忘るることありとも我はなんぢを忘るることなし
16 Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls [are] before Me continually.
われ掌になんぢを彫刻めり なんぢの石垣はつねにわが前にあり
17 Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.
なんぢの子輩はいそぎ來り なんぢを毀つもの汝をあらす者は汝より出さらん
18 Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on, And thou bindest them on like a bride.
なんぢ目をあげて環視せよ これらのもの皆あひあつまりて汝がもとに來るべし ヱホバ宣給く われは活なんぢ此等をみな身によそほひて飾となし 新婦の帶のごとくに之をまとふべし
19 Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants, And far off have been those consuming thee.
なんぢの荒かつ廢れたるところ毀たれたる地は こののち住ふもの多くして狹きをおぼえん なんぢを呑つくししもの遙にはなれ去るべし
20 Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me — and I dwell.'
むかし別れたりしなんぢの子輩はのちの日なんぢの耳のあたりにて語りあはん云く ここは我がために狹し なんぢ外にゆきて我にすむべき所をえしめよと
21 And thou hast said in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten for me — these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned aside, And these — who hath nourished? Lo, I — I was left by myself, these — whence [are] they?
その時なんぢ心裏にいはん 誰かわがために此等のものを生しや われ子をうしなひて獨居りかつ俘れ且さすらひたり 誰かこれを育てしや 視よわれ一人のこされたり 此等はいづこに居しや
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.
主ヱホバいひたまはく 視よわれ手をもろもろの國にむかひてあげ 旗をもろもろの民にむかひてたてん 斯てかれらはその懷中になんぢの子輩をたづさへ その肩になんぢの女輩をのせきたらん
23 And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth — they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.
もろもろの王はなんぢの養父となり その后妃はなんぢの乳母となり かれらはその面を地につけて汝にひれふし なんぢの足の塵をなめん 而して汝わがヱホバなるをしり われを俟望むものの恥をかうぶることなきを知るならん
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?
勇士がうばひたる掠物をいかでとりかへし 強暴者がかすめたる虜をいかで救いだすことを得んや
25 For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy striver I strive, and thy sons I save.
されどヱホバ如此いひたまふ云く ますらをが掠めたる虜もとりかへされ 強暴者がうばひたる掠物もすくひいださるべし そは我なんぢを攻るものをせめてなんぢの子輩をすくふべければなり
26 And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh, And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!'
我なんぢを虐ぐるものにその肉をくらはせ またその血をあたらしき酒のごとくにのませて酔しめん 而して萬民はわがヱホバにして汝をすくふ者なんぢを贖ふものヤコブの全能者なることを知るべし
