イザヤ書 22
1 異象の谷にかかる重負のよげん 曰く／なんぢら何故にみな屋蓋にのぼれるか
This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
2 汝はさわがしく喧すしき邑ほこりたのしむ邑 なんぢのうちの殺されたるものは劍をもて殺されしにあらず 亦たたかひにて死しにもあらず
O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
3 なんぢの有司はみな共にのがれゆきしかど弓士にいましめられ 汝の民はとほくにげゆきしかど見出されて皆ともに縛められたり
All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
4 この故にわれいふ回顧てわれを見るなかれ 我いたく哭かなしまん わが民のむすめの害はれたるによりて我をなぐさめんと勉むるなかれ
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
5 そは主萬軍のヱホバ異象のたにに騒亂ふみにじり惶惑の日をきたらせたまふ 垣はくづれ號呼のこゑは山々にきこゆ
For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
6 エラムは箙をおひたり 歩兵と騎兵とありキルは盾をあらはせり
Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
7 かくて戰車はなんぢの美しき谷にみち 騎兵はその門にむかひてつらなれり
Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
8 ユダの庇護はのぞかる その日なんぢは林のいへの武具をあふぎのぞめり
He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
9 なんぢらダビデのまちの壞おほきを見る なんぢら下のいけの水をあつめ
You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
10 またヱルサレムの家をかぞへ且その家をこぼちて垣をかたくし
You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
11 一つの水坑をかきとかきとの間につくりて古池の水をひけりされどこの事をなし給へるものを仰望まず この事をむかしより營みたまへる者をかへりみざりき
You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
12 その日主萬軍のヱホバ命じて哭かなしみ首をかぶろにし麁服をまとへと仰せたまひしかど
On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 なんぢらは喜びたのしみ牛をほふり羊をころし肉をくらひ酒をのみていふ 我儕くらひ且のむべし明日はしぬべければなりと
But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14 萬軍のヱホバ默示をわが耳にきかしめたまはく まことにこの邪曲はなんぢらが死にいたるまで除き清めらるるを得ずと これ主萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
15 主ばんぐんのヱホバ如此のたまふ ゆけ宮ををさめ庫をつかさどるセブナにゆきていへ
This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
16 なんぢここに何のかかはりありや また茲にいかなる人のありとして己がために墓をほりしや 彼はたかきところに墓をほり磐をうがちて己がために住所をつくれり
What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
17 視よヱホバはつよき人のなげうつ如くに汝をなげうち給はん
Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
18 なんぢを包みかためふりまはして闊かなる地に球のごとくなげいだしたまはん 主人のいへの恥となるものよ汝そこにて死そのえいぐわの車もそこにあらん
roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
19 我なんぢをその職よりおひその位よりひきおとさん
I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
20 その日われわが僕ヒルキヤの子エリアキムを召て
On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21 なんぢの衣をきせ汝の帶をもて固め なんぢの政權をその手にゆだぬべし 斯て彼ヱルサレムの民とユダの家とに父とならん
I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 我またダビデのいへの鑰をその肩におかん 彼あくればとづるものなく彼とづればあくるものなし
I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
23 我かれをたてて堅處にうちし釘のごとくすべし 而してかれはその父の家のさかえの位とならん
I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
24 その父の家のもろもろの榮は彼がうへに懸る その子その孫およびすべての器のちひさきもの皿より瓶子にいたるまでも然らざるなし
So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
25 萬軍のヱホバのたまはくその日かたき處にうちたる釘はぬけいで斫れておちん そのうへにかかれる負もまた絶るべし こはヱホバ語り給へるなり
In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
