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

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

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

Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead 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 thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.

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 said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling 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 it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:

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 beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth 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

And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

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

And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour 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

and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of 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

and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify 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

and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned 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

And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with 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

and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow 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

And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

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

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say, ]

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 hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?

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

Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.

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

Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!

19 我なんぢをその職よりおひその位よりひきおとさん

And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.

20 その日われわが僕ヒルキヤの子エリアキムを召て

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;

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

and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants 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

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall 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

And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:

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

and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.

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, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
