Isaiah 1
1 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
アモツの子イザヤがユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤのときに示されたるユダとヱルサレムとに係る異象
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.
天よきけ地よ耳をかたぶけよ ヱホバの語りたまふ言あり 曰く われ子をやしなひ育てしにかれらは我にそむけり
3 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの廐をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
4 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
ああ罪ををかせる國人よこしまを負ふたみ 惡をなす者のすゑ壞りそこなふ種族 かれらはヱホバをすてイスラエルの聖者をあなどり之をうとみて退きたり
5 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostasy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
なんぢら何ぞかさねがさね悖りて猶撻れんとするか その頭はやまざる所なくその心はつかれはてたり
6 From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
足のうらより頭にいたるまで全きところなくただ創痍と打傷と腫物とのみなり 而してこれを合すものなく包むものなく亦あぶらにて軟らぐる者もなし
7 Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!
なんぢらの國はあれすたれなんぢらの諸邑は火にてやかれなんぢらの田畑はその前にて外人にのまれ既にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
8 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.
シオンの女はぶだうぞのの廬のごとく瓜田の假舎のごとくまた圍をうけたる城のごとく唯ひとり遺れり
9 Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
萬軍のヱホバわれらに少しの遺をとどめ給ふことなくば我儕はソドムのごとく又ゴモラに同じかりしならん
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,
なんぢらソドムの有司よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらゴモラの民よわれらの神の律法に耳をかたぶけよ
11 'Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.
ヱホバ言たまはくなんぢらが獻ぐるおほくの犠牲はわれに何の益あらんや我はをひつじの燔祭とこえたるけものの膏とにあけり われは牡牛あるひは小羊あるひは牡山羊の血をよろこばず
12 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?
なんぢらは我に見えんとてきたる このことを誰がなんぢらに要めしや 徒らにわが庭をふむのみなり
13 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!
むなしき祭物をふたたび携ふることなかれ 燻物はわがにくむところ 新月および安息日また會衆をよびあつむることも我がにくむところなり なんぢらは聖會に惡を兼ぬ われ容すにたへず
14 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
わが心はなんぢらの新月と節會とをきらふ 是わが重荷なりわれ負にうみたり
15 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈祷をなすときも聞ことをせじ なんぢらの手には血みちたり
16 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
なんぢら己をあらひ己をきょくしわが眼前よりその惡業をさり惡をおこなふことを止め
17 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
善をおこなふことをならひ 公平をもとめ虐げらるる者をたすけ 孤児に公平をおこなひ寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
18 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!
ヱホバいひたまはく 率われらともに論らはん なんぢらの罪は緋のごとくなるも雪のごとく白くなり紅のごとく赤くとも羊の毛のごとくにならん
19 If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,
若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美産をくらふことを得べし
20 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
もし汝等こばみそむかば劍にのまるべし 此はヱホバその御口よりかたりたまヘるなり
21 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.
忠信なりし邑いかにして妓女とはなれる 昔しは公平にてみち正義その中にやどりしに今は人をころす者ばかりとなりぬ
22 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢ葡萄酒は水をまじへ
23 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.
なんぢの長輩はそむきて盗人の伴侶となり おのおの賄賂をよろこび贈財をおひもとめ 孤児に公平をおこなはず寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづるとと能はず
24 Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,
このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの全能者のたまはく 唆われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
25 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,
我また手をなんぢの上にそへ なんぢの滓をことごとく淨くし なんぢの鉛をすべて取去り
26 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, 'A city of righteousness — a faithful city.'
なんぢの審士を舊のごとく なんぢの議官を始のごとくに復すべし 然るのちなんぢは正義の邑忠信の邑ととなへられん
27 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
シオンは公平をもてあがなはれ 歸來るものも正義をもて贖はるべし
28 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.
されど愆ををかすものと罪人とはともに敗れ ヱホバをすつる者もまた亡びうせん
29 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.
なんぢらはその喜びたる橿樹によりて恥をいだき そのえらびたる園によりて慙赧むべし
30 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.
なんぢらは葉のかるる橿樹のごとく水なき園のごとくならん
31 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
權勢あるものは麻のごとくその工は火花のごとく 二つのもの一同もえてこれを撲滅すものなし
