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! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
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
then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
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 encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise 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 down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and 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 the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will 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
She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a 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
The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of 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
It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
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
Pause and wonder! 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 the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the 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
All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, 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 the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t 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
The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
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 a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men 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 deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows 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
You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “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
Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded 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
In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
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 also 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 is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are 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
who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
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 concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall 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
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and 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
They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
