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 God, I will glorify you, I will sing to your name; for you have done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.

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

For you have made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.

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 shall the poor people bless you, and cities of injured men shall bless 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 helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: you shall deliver them from wicked men: [you have been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.

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

[We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom you did deliver us.

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

And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink 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

they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart you all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the 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

Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

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 they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our 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

God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.

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

And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid 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

And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
