イザヤ書 24
1 視よヱホバこの地をむなしからしめ荒廢れしめこれを覆へしてその民をちらしたまふ
Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 かくて民も祭司もひとしく 僕も主もひとしく 下婢も主婦もひとしく 買ものも賣ものもひとしく 貸ものも借ものもひとしく 利をはたるものも利をいだす者もひとしくこの事にあふべし
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3 地はことごとく空しくことごとく掠められん こはヱホバの言たまへるなり
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word.
4 地はうれへおとろへ世は萎おとろへ地のたふときものも萎はてたり
The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 民おきてにそむき法ををかし とこしへの契約をやぶりたるがゆゑに 地はその下にけがされたり
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 このゆゑに呪詛は地をのみつくしそこに住るものは罪をうけまた地の民はやかれて僅かばかり遺れり
Therefore has the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7 あたらしき酒はうれへ葡萄はなえ 心たのしめるものはみな歎息せざるはなし
The new wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry hearted do sigh.
8 鼓のおとは寂まり歡ぶものの聲はやみ琴の音もまたしづまれり
The mirth of tabrets ceases, the noise of them that rejoice ends, the joy of the harp ceases.
9 彼等はふたたび歌うたひ酒のまず濃酒はこれをのむものに苦くなるべし
They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10 騒ぎみだれたる邑はすでにやぶられ毎家はことごとく閉て人のいるなし
The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 街頭には酒の故によりて叫ぶこゑあり すべての歡喜はくらくなり地のたのしみは去ゆけり
There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12 邑はあれすたれたる所のみのこり その門もこぼたれて破れぬ
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 地のうちにてもろもろの民のなかにて遺るものは橄欖の樹のうたれしのちの果の如く葡萄の収穫はてしのちの實のごとし
When thus it shall be in the middle of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14 これらのもの聲をあげてよばはん ヱホバの稜威のゆゑをもて海より歡びよばはん
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 この故になんぢら東にてヱホバをあがめ 海のしまじまにてイスラエルの神ヱホバの名をあがむべし
Why glorify you the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16 われら地の極より歌をきけり いはく榮光はただしきものに歸すと／われ云らく我やせおとろへたり我やせおとろへたり 我はわざはひなるかな 欺騙者はあざむき欺騙者はいつはりをもて欺むけり
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe to me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 地にすむものよ恐怖と陷阱と罟とはなんぢに臨めり
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 おそれの聲をのがるる者はおとしあなに陷り おとしあなの中よりいづるものは罟にかかるべし そは高處の窓ひらけ地の基ふるひうごけばなり
And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the middle of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 地は碎けにくだけ地はやぶれにやぶれ地は搖にゆれ
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 地はゑへる者のごとく蹌きによろめき假廬のごとくふりうごく その罪はそのうへにおもく遂にたふれて再びおくることなし
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy on it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 その日ヱホバはたかき處にて高きところの軍兵を征め 地にて地のもろもろの王を征めたまはん
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 かれらは囚人が阱にあつめらるるごとく集められて 獄中にとざされ多くの日をへてのち刑せらるべし
And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 かくて萬軍のヱホバ、シオンの山およびヱルサレムにて統治め かつその長老たちのまへに榮光あるべければ 月は面あからみ日ははぢて色かはるべし
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
