イザヤ書 26
1 その日ユダの國にてこの歌をうたはん われらに堅固なる邑あり 神すくひをもてその垣その藩となしたまふべし
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation doth he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 なんぢら門をひらきて忠信を守るただしき國民をいれよ
Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in.
3 なんぢは平康にやすきをもて心志かたき者をまもりたまふ 彼はなんぢに依賴めばなり
Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed [on thee], for he confideth in thee.
4 なんぢら常盤にヱホバによりたのめ 主ヱホバはとこしへの巌なり
Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.
5 たかきに居るものを仆し そびえたる城をふせしめ 地にふせしめて塵にまじへ給へり
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 かくて足これをふまん 苦しむものは足にて之をふみ 貧しき者はその上をあゆまん
The foot shall tread it down, — the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.
7 義きものの道は直からざるなし なんぢ義きものの途を直く平らかにし給ふ
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.
8 ヱホバよ審判をおこなひたまふ道にてわれら汝をまちのぞめり われらの心はなんぢの名となんぢの記念の名とをしたふなり
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.
9 わがこころ夜なんぢを慕ひたり わがうちなる靈あしたに汝をもとめん そは汝のさばき地におこなはるるとき世にすめるもの正義をまなぶべし
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 惡者はめぐまるれども公義をまなばず 直き地にありてなほ不義をおこなひヱホバの稜威を見ることをこのまず
If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.
11 ヱホバよなんぢの手たかく擧れどもかれら顧みず 然どなんぢが民をすくひたまふ熱心を見ばはぢをいだかん 火なんぢの敵をやきつくすべし
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: [yet] they shall see [thy] jealousy [for] the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.
12 ヱホバよ汝はわれらのために平和をまうけたまはん 我儕のおこなひしことは皆なんぢの成たまへるなり
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
13 ヱホバわれらの神よなんぢにあらぬ他の主ども曩にわれらを治めたり 然どわれらはただ汝によりて汝の名をかたりつげん
Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 かれら死たればまたいきず 亡靈となりたればまた復らず なんぢかれらを糺してこれを滅ぼし その記念の名をさへ悉くうせしめたまへり
[They are] dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.
15 ヱホバよなんぢこの國民をましたまへり此くにびとを増たまへり なんぢは尊ばれたまふ なんぢ地の界をことごとく擴めたまへり
Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
16 ヱホバよかれら苦難のときに汝をあふぎのぞめり 彼等なんぢの懲罰にあへるとき切になんぢに禱告せり
Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 ヱホバよわれらは孕める婦のうむとき近づきてくるしみ その痛みによりて叫ぶがごとく汝のまへに然ありき
As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
18 われらは孕みまた苦しみたれどその產るところは風ににたり われら救を地にほどこさず世にすむ者うまれいでざりき
We have been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 なんぢの死者はいきわが民の屍はおきん 塵にふすものよ醒てうたうたふべし なんぢの露は草木をうるほす露のごとく地はなきたまをいださん
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing in triumph, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is the dew of the morning, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 わが民よゆけ なんぢの室にいり汝のうしろの戸をとぢて忿恚のすぎゆくまで暫時かくるべし
Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself just for a little moment, until the indignation be past.
21 視よヱホバはその處をいでて地にすむものの不義をただしたまはん 地はその上なる血をあらはにして殺されたるものをまた掩はざるべし
For behold, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
