イザヤ書 14
1 ヱホバ、ヤコブを憐みイスラエルをふたたび撰びて之をおのれの地におきたまはん 異邦人これに加りてヤコブの家にむすびつらなるべし
For Jehovah will have compassion upon Jacob, And will again set his love upon Israel, And cause them to rest in his own land. And strangers shall join themselves to them, And cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 もろもろの民はかれらをその處にたづさへいたらん而してイスラエルの家はヱホバの地にてこれを奴婢となし曩におのれを虜にしたるものを虜にし おのれを虐げたるものを治めん
The nations shall take them and bring them to their own place; And the house of Israel shall possess them, in the land of Jehovah, As servants and as handmaids; They shall take captive their captors, And they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 ヱホバなんぢの憂と艱難とをのぞき 亦なんぢが勤むるからき役をのぞきて安息をたまふの日
So when Jehovah shall have given thee rest From thy sorrow and thy distress, And from the hard bondage Which was laid upon thee,
4 なんぢこの歌をとなへバビロン王をせめていはん虐ぐる者いかにして息みしや 金をはたる者いかにして息みしやと
Then shall thou utter this song over the king of Babylon, and say, “How hath the tyrant fallen, The oppression ceased!
5 ヱホバあしきものの笞ともろもろの有司の杖とををりたまへり
Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, The rod of the tyrants,
6 かれらは怒をもてもろもろの民をたえず撃てはうち 忿恚をもてもろもろの國ををさむれど その暴虐をとどむる者なかりき
That smote the people in anger, With a continual stroke, That lorded it over the nations in wrath With unremitted oppression.
7 今は全地やすみを得おだやかを得 ことごとく聲をあげてうたふ
The whole earth is at rest, is quiet; They break forth into singing.
8 實にまつの樹およびレバノンの香柏さへもなんぢの故により歡びていふ 汝すでに仆たれば樵夫のぼりきたりてわれらを攻ることなしと
Even the cypress-trees exult over thee, And the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art fallen, No feller cometh up against us.'
The under-world is in commotion on account of thee, To meet thee at thy coming; It stirreth up before thee the shades, all the mighty of the earth; It arouseth from their thrones all the kings of the nations; (Sheol h7585)
10 かれらは皆なんぢに告ていはん 汝もわれらのごとく弱くなりしや 汝もわれらと同じくなりしやと
They all accost thee, and say, 'Art thou, too, become weak as we? Art thou become like us?'
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, And the sound of thy harps. Vermin have become thy couch, And worms thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 あしたの子明星よいかにして天より隕しや もろもろの國をたふしし者よいかにして斫れて地にたふれしや
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cast down to the ground, Thou that didst trample upon the nations!
13 汝さきに心中におもへらく われ天にのぼり我くらゐを神の星のうへにあげ北の極なる集會の山にざし
Thou saidst in thy heart, 'I will ascend to heaven, Above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.
14 たかき雲漢にのぼり至上者のごとくなるべしと
I will ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'
But thou art brought down to the grave, To the depths of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 なんぢを見るものは熟々なんぢを視なんぢに目をとめていはん この人は地をふるはせ列國をうごかし
They that see thee gaze upon thee, and view thee attentively, (and say, ) 'Is this the man that made the earth tremble, That shook kingdoms,
17 世を荒野のごとくし もろもろの邑をこぼち 捕へたるものをその家にときかへさざりしものなるかと
That made the world a wilderness, And laid waste its cities, And sent not his captives to their homes?'
18 もろもろの國の王たちはことごとく皆たふとき狀にておのおのその家にねぶる
All the kings of the nations, yea, all of them, Lie down in glory, each in his own sepulchre;
19 然どなんぢは忌きらふべき枝のごとく おのが墓のそとにすてられその周圍には劍にて刺ころされ坑におろされ 石におほはれたる者ありて踐つけらるる屍にことならず
But thou art cast forth without a grave, Like a worthless branch; Covered with the slain, who are pierced by the sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a carcass trampled under foot.
20 汝おのれの國をほろぼし おのれの民をころししが故に かれらとおなじく葬らるることあたはず それ惡をおこなふものの裔はとこしへに名をよばるることなかるべし
Thou shalt not be joined with them in the grave, Because thou hast destroyed thy country, And slain thy people; The race of evil-doers shall nevermore be named.
21 先祖のよこしまの故をもて その子孫のために戮場をそなへ 彼等をしてたちて地をとり世界のおもてに邑をみたすことなからしめよ
Prepare ye slaughter for his children, For the iniquity of their fathers, That they may no more arise, and possess the earth, And fill the world with enemies!”
22 萬軍のヱホバのたまはく 我立てかれらを攻めバビロンよりその名と遺りたるものとを絶滅し その子その孫をたちほろぼさんと これヱホバの聖言なり
For I will arise against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, Posterity and offspring, saith Jehovah.
23 われバビロンを刺蝟のすみかとし沼とし且ほろびの箒をもてこれを掃除かんと これ萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
I will make her the possession of the porcupine, and pools of water; Yea, I will sweep her away with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
24 萬軍のヱホバ誓をたてて言給はくわがおもひし事はかならず成 わがさだめし事はかならず立ん
Jehovah of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely, as I have devised, so shall it come to pass, The purpose which I have formed, that shall stand,
25 われアツスリヤ人をわが地にてうちやぶり わが山々にてふみにじらん ここにおいて彼がおきし軛はイスラエル人よりはなれ 彼がおはせし重負はイスラエル人の肩よりはなるべし
To crush the Assyrian in my land, And to trample him on my mountains. Then shall his yoke depart from them, And his burden be removed from their shoulders.
26 これは全地のことにつきて定めたる謀略なり 是はもろもろの國のうへに伸したる手なり
This is the purpose which is formed concerning all the earth, And this the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.
27 萬軍のヱホバさだめたまへり誰かこれを破ることを得んや その手をのばしたまへり誰かこれを押返すことを得んや
For Jehovah of hosts hath decreed, and who shall disannul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
In the year in which Ahaz the king died came this prophecy.
29 曰く ペリシテの全地よなんぢをうちし杖をれたればとて喜ぶなかれ 蛇の根より蝮いでその果はとびかける巨蛇となるべければなり
Rejoice not, all Philistia, Because the rod that smote thee is broken, For from the root of a serpent shall come forth a basilisk, And his fruit shall be a flying, fiery serpent.
30 いと貧しきものはものくひ乏しきものは安然にふさん われ饑饉をもてなんぢの根をしなせ汝がのこれる者をころすべし
Then shall the most wretched of the poor feed quietly, And the needy shall lie down in security; For I will kill thy root with famine, And thy remnant shall be slain.
31 門よなげけ邑よさけべ ペリシテよなんぢの全地きえうせたり そはけぶり北よりいできたり その軍兵の列におくるるものなし
Howl, O gate! cry aloud, O city! O Philistia, thou meltest away in terror! For from the north cometh a smoke, And there is no straggler in their hosts.
32 その國の使者たちに何とこたふべきや 答へていはん ヱホバ、シオンの基をおきたまへり その民のなかの苦しむものは避所をこの中にえん
What answer shall be given to the messengers of the nations? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in her shall the poor of his people find refuge.
