イザヤ書 10
1 不義のおきてをさだめ暴虐のことばを録すものは禍ひなるかな
Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decrees, —And, busy writers, who make a business of writing mischief:
2 かれらは乏きものの訴をうけず わが民のなかの貧しきものの權利をはぎ寡婦の資產をうばひ孤兒のものを掠む
Turning aside from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people, —So that, widows, become, their spoil, And of the fatherless, they make prey.
3 なんぢら懲しめらるる日きたらば何をなさんとするか 敗壞とほきより來らんとき何をなさんとするか なんぢら逃れゆきて誰にすくひを求めんとするか また何處になんぢらの榮をのこさんとするか
What, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation, which from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your gory?
4 ただ縛められたるものの下にかがみ 殺されたるもののしたに伏仆れんのみ 然はあれどヱホバのいかり止ずして尚ほその手をのばしたまふ
Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
5 咄アツスリヤ人 なんぢはわが怒の杖なり その手の笞はわが忿恚なり
Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, —Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:
6 われ彼をつかはして邪曲なる國をせめ我かれに命じて我がいかれる民をせめてその所有をかすめその財寶をうばはしめ かれらを街の泥のごとくに蹂躪らしめん
Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, —To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
7 されどアツスリヤ人のこころざしは斯のごとくならず その心の念もまた斯のごとくならず そのこころは敗壞をこのみ あまたの國をほろぼし絶ん
But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, —For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;
8 かれ云 わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや
For he saith: —Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?
9 カルノはカルケミシの如く ハマテはアルパデの如く サマリヤはダマスコの如きにあらずや
Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, Hamath, like Arpad? Is not, Samaria, like Damascus?
10 わが手は偶像につかふる國々を得たり その彫たる像はヱルサレムおよびサマリヤのものに勝れたり
As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, —whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 われ旣にサマリヤとその偶像とに行へるごとく亦ヱルサレムとその偶像とにおこなはざる可んやと
Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images?
12 このゆゑに主いひたまふ 我シオンの山とヱルサレムとに爲んとする事をことごとく遂をはらんとき 我アツスリヤ王のおごれる心の實とその高ぶり仰ぎたる眼とを罰すべし
Wherefore it shall come to pass—When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment—Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory of his uplifted eyes,
13 そは彼いへらく われ手の力と智慧とによりて之をなせり 我はかしこし 國々の境をのぞき その獲たるものをうばひ 又われは丈夫にしてかの位に坐するものを下したり
For he hath said—By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom—for I have discernment, —That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants;
14 わが手もろもろの民のたからを得たりしは巣をとるが如く また天が下を取收めたりしは遺しすてたる卵をとりあつむるが如くなりき あるひは翼をうごかし あるひは口をひらき あるひは喃々する者もなかりしなりと
And my hand hath found as a nest the wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, —And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp.
15 斧はこれをもちゐて伐ものにむかひて己みづから誇ることをせんや 鋸は これを動かす者にむかひて己みづから高ぶることをせんや 此はあだかも笞がおのれを擧るものを動かし杖みづから木にあらざるものを擧んとするにひとし
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!
16 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバは肥たるものを瘠しめ 且その榮光のしたに火のもゆるが如き火焰をおこし給はん
Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire;
17 イスラエルの光は火のごとく その聖者はほのほの如くならん 斯て一日のうちに荊とおどろとを燒ほろぼし
So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day;
18 又かの林と土肥たる田圃の榮をうせしめ 靈魂をも身をもうせしめて病るものの衰へたるが如くなさん
And the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, —And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.
19 かつ林のうちに殘れる木わづかにして童子も算へうるが如くになるべし
And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, —yea, a child, might describe them!
20 その日イスラエルの遺れる者とヤコブの家ののがれたる者とは再びおのれを撃し者にたよらず誠意をもてイスラエルの聖者ヱホバにたよらん
And it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, —But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 その遺れるものヤコブの遺れるものは大能の神にかへるべし
A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob, —unto the mighty GOD;
22 ああイスラエルよ なんぢの民は海の沙のごとしといへども遺りて歸りきたる者はただ僅少ならん そは敗壞すでにさだまり義にて溢るべければなり
For though thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A [mere] remnant, shall return of them, —A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;
23 主萬軍のヱホバの定めたまへる敗壞はこれを徧く國内におこなひ給ふべし
For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing in the midst of all the earth.
24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバいひたまはく シオンに住るわが民よアツスリヤ人エジプトの例にならひ笞をもて汝をうち杖をあげて汝をせむるとも懼るるなかれ
Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, —When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;
25 ただ頃刻にして忿恚はやまん 我がいかりは彼等をほろぼして息ん
For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction.
26 萬軍のヱホバむかしミデアン人をオレブの巖のあたりにて撃たまひしごとくに禍害をおこして之をせめ 又その杖を海のうへに伸しエジプトの例にしたがひてこれを擧たまはん
And Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge—Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, —And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner of Egypt;
27 その日かれの重荷はなんぢの肩より下 かれの軛はなんぢの頸よりはなれ その軛はあぶらの故をもて壞れん
And it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, —Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness.
28 かれアイにきたりミグロンを過ミクマシにてその輜重をとどめ
He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, —At Michmash, storeth his baggage:
29 渡口をすぎてゲバに宿る ここに於てラマはをののきサウルギべア人は逃れはしれり
They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting-place, —Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!
30 ガリムの女よなんぢ聲をあげて叫べ ライシよ耳をかたぶけて聽け アナトテよなんぢも聲をあげよ
Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!
31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり
Madmenah, hath fled, —The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:
32 この日かれノブに立とどまり シオンのむすめの山ヱルサレムの岡にむかひて手をふりたり
While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward The mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
33 主ばんぐんのヱホバは雄々しくたけびてその枝を斷たまはん 丈高きものは伐おとされ聳えたる者はひくくせらるべし
Behold! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, —Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;
34 また銕をもて茂りあふ林をきり給はん レバノンは能力あるものに倒さるべし
Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, —And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.
