< Isaiah 57 >

1 The righteous hath perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil Gathered is the righteous one.
義者ほろぶれども心にとむる人なく 愛しみ深き人々とりさらるれども義きものの禍害のまへより取去るるなるを悟るものなし
2 He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
かれは平安にいり 直きをおこなふ者はその寐床にやすめり
3 And ye, come near hither, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even thou dost commit whoredom.
なんぢら巫女の子 淫人また妓女の裔よ 近ききたれ
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge ye the mouth? Prolong ye the tongue? Are not ye children of transgression? a false seed?
なんぢら誰にむかひて戯れをなすや 誰にむかひて口をひらき舌をのばすや なんぢらは悖逆の子輩いつはりの黨類にあらずや
5 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
なんぢらは橿樹のあひだ緑りなる木々のしたに心をこがし 谷のなか岩の狹間に子をころせり
6 Among the smooth things of a brook [is] thy portion, They — they [are] thy lot, Also to them thou hast poured out an oblation, Thou hast caused a present to ascend, For these things am I comforted?
なんぢは谷のなかの滑かなる石をうくべき嗣業とし これをなんぢが所有とす なんぢ亦これに灌祭をなし之にそなへものを献げたり われ之によりていかで心をなだむべしや
7 On a mountain, high and exalted, Thou hast set thy couch, Also thither thou hast gone up to make a sacrifice.
なんぢは高くそびえたる山の上になんぢの床をまうけ かつ其處にのぼりゆきて犠牲をささげたり
8 And behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy memorial, For from Me thou hast removed, and goest up, Thou hast enlarged thy couch, And dost covenant for thyself among them, Thou hast loved their couch, the station thou sawest,
また戸および柱のうしろに汝の記念をおけり なんぢ我をはなれて他人に身をあらはし 登りゆきてその床をひろくし かれらと誓をなし 又かれらの床を愛し これがためにその所をえらびたり
9 And goest joyfully to the king in ointment, And dost multiply thy perfumes, And sendest thine ambassadors afar off, And humblest thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢ香膏とおほくの薫物とをたづさへて王にゆき 又なんぢの使者をとほきにつかはし陰府にまで己をひくくせり (Sheol h7585)
10 In the greatness of thy way thou hast laboured, Thou hast not said, 'It is desperate.' The life of thy hand thou hast found, Therefore thou hast not been sick.
なんぢ途のながきに疲れたれどなほ望なしといはず なんぢ力をいきかへされしによりて衰弱ざりき
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid [it] to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?
なんぢ誰をおそれ誰のゆゑに慴きていつはりをいひ 我をおもはず亦そのことを心におかざりしや われ久しく默したれど汝かへりて我をおそれざりしにあらずや
12 I declare thy righteousness, and thy works, And they do not profit thee.
我なんぢの義をつげしめさん なんぢの作はなんぢに益せじ
13 When thou criest, let thy gatherings deliver thee, And all of them carry away doth wind, Take away doth vanity, And whoso is trusting in Me inheriteth the land, And doth possess My holy mountain.
なんぢ呼るときその集めおきたるもの汝をすくへ 風はかれらを悉くあげさり 息はかれらを吹さらん 然どわれに依賴むものは地をつぎわが聖山をうべし
14 And he hath said, 'Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.'
また人いはん 土をもり土をもりて途をそなへよ わが民のみちより躓礙をとりされと
15 For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy [is] His name: 'In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'
至高く至上なる永遠にすめるもの聖者となづくるもの如此いひ給ふ 我はたかき所きよき所にすみ 亦こころ碎けてへりくだる者とともにすみ 謙だるものの靈をいかし碎けたるものの心をいかす
16 For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.
われ限なくは爭はじ我たえずは怒らじ 然らずば人のこころ我がまへにおとろへん わが造りたる靈はみな然らん
17 For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite him, Hiding — and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.
彼のむさぼりの罪により我いかりて之をうちまた面をおほひて怒りたり 然るになほ悖りて己がこころの途にゆけり
18 His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
されど我その途をみたり 我かれを愈すべし 又かれを導きてふたたび安慰をかれとその中のかなしめる者とにかへすべし
19 Producing the fruit of the lips, 'Peace, peace,' to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.
我くちびるの果をつくれり 遠きものにも近きものにも平安あれ平安あれ 我かれをいやさん 此はヱホバのみことばなり
20 And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For to rest it is not able, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
然はあれど惡者はなみだつ海のごとし 靜かなること能はずしてその水つねに濁と泥とをいだせり
21 There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!
わが神いひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなしと
