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 Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.

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

But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.

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

And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with watch-posts, and I will raise forts against thee.

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

And thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall 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

And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

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

Thou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring 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

And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

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

It shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war 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

Be astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with 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 Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered.

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 whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for 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

And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, 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

And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of 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, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid.

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 unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

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

[Oh] your perverseness! — Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath 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

Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as 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

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall 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

and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall 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 terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off,

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

that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.

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 thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be 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 seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear 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

And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.
