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 Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
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 that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may 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
By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted 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
Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
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 hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto 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 foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
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 iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
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
Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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 soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
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
Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
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
O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure 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
Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
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
O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and 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
The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
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, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes 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
Lord, in trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon 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
Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
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 haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
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 men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out 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 thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
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 lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
