イザヤ書 29
1 ああアリエルよアリエルよ ああダビデの營をかまへたる邑よ としに年をくはへ節會まはりきたらば
Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.
2 われアリエルをなやまし之にかなしみと歎息とあらしめん 彼をアリエルのごとき者となすべし
And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
3 われ汝のまはりに營をかまへ保砦をきづきて汝をかこみ櫓をたててなんぢを攻べし
I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
4 かくてなんぢは卑くせられ 地にふしてものいひ塵のなかより低聲をいだしてかたらん 汝のこゑは巫女のこゑのごとく地よりいで汝のことばは塵のなかより囀づるがごとし
You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5 然どなんぢのあだの群衆はこまやかなる塵の如く あらぶるものの群衆はふきさらるる粃糠の如くならん 俄にまたたく間にこの事あるべし
But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
6 萬軍のヱホバはいかづち 地震 おほごゑ 暴風 つむじかぜ及びやきつくす火の燄をもて臨みたまふべし
you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.
7 斯てアリエルを攻てたたかふ國々のもろもろ アリエルとその城とをせめたたかひて難ますものは みな夢のごとく夜のまぼろしの如くならん
All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
8 饑たるものの食ふことを夢みて醒きたればその心なほ空しきがごとく 渇けるものの飮ことを夢みて醒きたれば疲れかつ頻にのまんことを欲するがごとく シオンの山をせめて戰ふくにぐにの群衆もまた然あらん
as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
9 なんぢらためらへ而しておどろかん なんぢら放肆にせよ而して目くらまん かれらは酔りされど酒のゆゑにあらず かれらはよろめけりされど濃酒のゆゑにあらず
Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.
10 そはヱホバ酣睡の靈をなんぢらの上にそそぎ 而してなんぢらの目をとぢ なんぢらの面をおほひたまへり その目は預言者そのかほは先知者なり
For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.
11 かかるが故にすべての默示はなんぢらには封じたる書のことばのごとくなり 文字しれる人にわたして請これを讀といはんに答へて封じたるがゆゑによむこと能はずといはん
And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”
12 また文字しらぬ人にわたして請これをよめといはんにこたへて文字しらざるなりといはん
Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
13 主いひ給はく この民は口をもて我にちかづき口唇をもてわれを敬へども その心はわれに遠かれり そのわれを畏みおそるるは人の誡命によりてをしへられしのみ
Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
14 この故にわれこの民のなかにて再びくすしき事をおこなはん そのわざは奇しくしていとあやし かれらの中なる智者のちゑはうせ聰明者のさときはかくれん
Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
15 己がはかりごとをヱホバに深くかくさんとする者はわざはひなるかな 暗中にありて事をおこなひていふ 誰かわれを見んや たれか我をしらんやと
Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”
16 なんぢらは曲れり いかで陶工をみて土塊のごとくおもふ可んや 造られし者おのれを作れるものをさして我をつくれるにあらずといふをえんや 形づくられたる器はかたちづくりし者をさして智慧なしといふを得んや
You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?
17 暫くしてレバノンはかはりて良田となり 良田は林のごとく見ゆるとききたるならずや
In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?
18 その日聾者はこの書のことばをきき盲者の目はくらきより闇よりみることを得べし
On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
19 謙だるものはヱホバによりてその歡喜をまし 人のなかの貧きものはイスラエルの聖者によりて快樂をうべし
The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 暴るものはたえ 侮慢者はうせ 邪曲の機をうかがふ者はことごとく斷滅さるべければなり
For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—
21 かれらは訟をきく時まげて人をつみし 邑門にていさむるものを謀略におとしいれ 虛しき語をかまへて義人をしりぞく
those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.
22 この故にむかしアブラハムを贖ひたまひしヱホバはヤコブの家につきて如此いひたまふ ヤコブは今より恥をかうむらず その面はいまより色をうしなはず
Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.
23 かれの子孫はその中にわがおこなふ手のわざをみん その時わが名を聖としヤコブの聖者を聖としてイスラエルの神をおそるべし
For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 心あやまれるものも知識をえ つぶやけるものも敎誨をまなばん
Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
