イザヤ書 25
1 ヱホバよ汝はわが神なり 我なんぢを崇めなんぢの名をほめたたへん 汝さきに妙なる事をおこなひ 古時より定めたることを眞實をもて成たまひたればなり
O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders— plans formed long ago— in perfect faithfulness.
2 なんぢ邑をかへて石堆となし 堅固なる城を荒墟となし 外人の京都を邑とならしめず永遠にたつることを得ざらしめたまへり
Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
3 この故につよき民はなんぢをあがめ 暴びたる國々の城はなんぢをおそるべし
Therefore, a strong people will honor You. The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
4 そはなんぢ弱きものの保砦となり 乏しきものの難のときの保砦となり 雨風のふききたりて垣をうつごとく暴ぶるものの荒きたるときの避所となり 熱をさくる蔭となりたまへり
For You have been a refuge for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like rain against a wall,
5 なんぢ外人の喧嘩をおさへて旱ける地より熱をとりのぞく如くならしめ 暴ぶるものの凱歌をとどめて雪の陰をもて熱をとどむる如くならしめたまはん
like heat in a dry land. You subdue the uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the ruthless is silenced.
6 萬軍のヱホバこの山にてもろもろの民のために肥たるものをもて宴をまうけ 久しくたくはへたる葡萄酒をもて宴をまうく 膸おほき肥たるもの久しくたくはへたる清るぶだう酒の宴なり
On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.
7 又この山にてもろもろの民のかぶれる面帕と もろもろの國のおほへる外帔をとりのぞき
On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
8 とこしへまで死を呑たまはん 主ヱホバはすべての面より涙をぬぐひ 全地のうへよりその民の凌辱をのぞき給はん これはヱホバの語りたまへるなり
He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth.
9 その日此如いはん これはわれらの神なり われら俟望めり 彼われらを救ひたまはん 是ヱホバなり われらまちのぞめり 我儕そのすくひを歡びたのしむべしと
And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 ヱホバの手はこの山にとどまり モアブはその處にてあくたの水のなかにふまるる藁のごとく蹂躙られん
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile.
11 彼そのなかにて游者のおよがんとして手をのばすが如く己が手をのばさん 然どヱホバその手の脆計とともにその傲慢を伏たまはん
He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.
12 なんぢの垣たかき堅固なる城はヱホバかたぶけたふし 地におとして塵にまじへたまはん
The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.
