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
Woe to those who enact unjust laws and write unfair decrees.
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
They deprive the needy of justice, rob the poor of my people of their rights, plunder widows, and make the fatherless their 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 will you do on judgment day when the destruction comes from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?
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
Nothing remains, and you crouch among the prisoners or fall among the killed. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
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
Woe to the Assyrian, the club of my anger, the rod by whom I wield my fury!
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
I send him against an arrogant nation and against the people who bear my overflowing wrath. I order him to take the spoil, to take the prey, and to trample them like mud in the streets.
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 this is not what he intends, nor does he think this way. It is in his heart to destroy and eliminate many nations.
8 かれ云 わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや
For he says, “Are not all my princes 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 Kalno 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 has overcome idolatrous kingdoms, whose carved figures were greater than those 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
just as I did to Samaria and her worthless idols, will I not also do the same to Jerusalem and to her idols?”
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
When the Lord has finished his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and his prideful looks.
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 says, “By my strength and by my wisdom I acted. I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples. I have stolen their treasures, and like a bull I have brought down 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
My hand has seized, as from a nest, the wealth of nations, and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. None fluttered their wings or opened their mouth or chirped.”
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
Will the ax boast about itself against the one who wields it? Will the saw praise itself more than the one who cuts with it? It is as if a rod could lift up those who raise it, or as if a wooden club could lift up a person.
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 the Lord Yahweh of hosts will send emaciation among his elite warriors; and under his glory there will be kindled a burning like 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
The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; it will burn and devour his thorns and briers 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
Yahweh will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful land, both soul and body; it will be like when a sick man's life wastes away.
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
The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few, that a child could count 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
On that day, the remnant of Israel, the family of Jacob that has escaped, will no longer rely on the one who defeated them, but will indeed depend on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
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 of Jacob will return to 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 your people, Israel, are like the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, as overflowing righteousness demands.
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 the Lord Yahweh of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction determined throughout the land.
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 the Lord Yahweh of hosts says, “My people who live in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian. He will strike you with the rod and raise his staff against you, as the Egyptians did.
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
Do not fear him, for in a very short time my anger against you will end, and my anger will lead to his 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
Then Yahweh of hosts will wield a whip against them, as when he defeated Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise his rod over the sea and lift it up as he did in 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
On that day, his burden is lifted from your shoulder and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed 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
The enemy has come to Aiath and has passed through Migron; at Michmash he has stored his provisions.
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 crossed over the pass and they lodge at Geba. Ramah trembles and Gibeah of Saul has 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
Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Give attention, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり
Madmenah is fleeing, and the inhabitants of Gebim run for 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
This very day he will halt at Nob and shake his fist at the mountain 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 will lop off the boughs with a terrifying crash; the tallest trees will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought 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
He will chop down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon in his majesty will fall.
