イザヤ書 1
1 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
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw, concerning Judah and Jerusalem, —in the days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah—kings of Judah.
2 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
Hear O heavens, And give ear, O earth, for Yahweh, hath spoken: —Sons, have I brought up, and advanced, And, they, have rebelled against me.
3 牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの厩をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
An ox knoweth, his owner, And an ass his masters crib, —Israel, doth not know, My people doth not consider.
4 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
Alas! a nation—committing sin, a people—burdened with iniquity, a seed—practising wickedness, sons—acting corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh despised the Holy One of Israel, —Are estranged and gone back.
5 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
Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:
6 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
From the sole of the foot even unto the head, there is in it no soundness, Bruise and stripe and newly-made wound, —They have not been pressed out, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil.
7 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旣にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
Your country—is a desolation, Your cities—are consumed with fire, —Your soil—right before your eyes, foreigners are devouring it, And it is a desolation a very overthrow by foreigners;
8 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
And left is the Daughter of Zion, Like a hut in a vineyard, —Like a lodge in a gourd-plot Like a city besieged.
9 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
If, Yahweh of hosts, had not left us a very small remnant, Like Sodom, had we become, Gomorrah, had we resembled.
10 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
Hear the word of Yahweh, ye rulers of Sodom, —Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah: —
11 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
Of what use to me, is your multitude of sacrifices: Saith Yahweh: I am sated with ascending-offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts, —In the blood of bulls and young rams and he-goats, have I no pleasure.
12 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
When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand trampling my courts?
13 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
Ye shall not again bring in an empty, present, Incense, an abomination, is that unto me! New moon, and sabbath calling an assembly—I cannot endure, iniquity and sacred festival!
14 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
Your new moons and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth, —They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear:
15 我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈禱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
Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply prayers, I am not hearkening, —Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.
16 なんぢら己をあらひ己をきよ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
Wash you make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes, —Cease to do evil.
17 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 孤子に公平をおこなひ 寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
Learn to do well—Seek justice, Correct the oppressor, —Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow,
18 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
Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute Saith Yahweh, —Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.
19 若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美產をくらふことを得べし
If ye be willing—and hearken Of the good of the land, shall ye eat;
20 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へるなり
But, if ye refuse and rebel, With the sword, shall ye be devoured, For, the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken it.
21 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
How hath she become unchaste!—The city that was Faithful, —Full of justice, Righteousness lodged in her, But, now, murderers!
22 なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢの葡萄酒は水をまじへ
Thy silver, hath become dross, —Thy wine, weakened with water;
23 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 贓財をおひもとめ 孤子に公平をおこなはず 寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづること能はず
Thy rulers, are unruly, and companions of thieves, Every one of the people, loveth a bribe, and runneth after rewards, —The fatherless, they do not vindicate, And, the plea of the widow, reacheth them not.
24 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 唉われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
Therefore, Declareth the Lord Yahweh of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, —Alas! I must appease me on mine adversaries, I must avenge me on mine enemies
25 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
That I may turn my hand against thee, And smelt away, as with potash, thy dross, And remove all thine alloy;
26 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
That I may restore thy Judges as at the first, and thy Counsellors as at the beginning, —After that, shalt thou be called Righteous citadel, Trusty city, —
27 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
Zion, with justice shall be redeemed, —And her returning ones, with righteousness;
28 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
And the downfall of transgressors and sinners, shall be, together, —And, they who forsake Yahweh, shall be brought to an end;
29 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
For they shall turn pale on account of the oaks which ye desired, —And ye shall blush on account of the gardens which ye had chosen;
30 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
For ye shall be as an oak with its leaf faded, And as a garden that hath no, water;
31 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
Then shall the strong one become tow, And his work a spark, —And they shall both blaze together And there be none to quench the fire.
