< イザヤ書 30 >
1 ヱホバのたまはく 悖るる子輩はわざはひなるかな かれら謀略をすれども我によりてせず 盟をむすべどもわが靈にしたがはず ますます罪につみをくはへん
Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
2 かれらわが口にとはずしてエジプトに下りゆきパロの力をかりておのれを强くしエジプトの蔭によらん
who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
3 パロのちからは反てなんぢらの恥となり エジプトの蔭によるは反てなんぢらの辱かしめとなるべし
Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 かれの君たちはゾアンにあり かれの使者たちはハネスにきたれり
For their rulers are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
5 かれらは皆おのれを益することあたはざる民によりて恥をいだく かの民はたすけとならず益とならず かへりて恥となり謗となれり
They shall all be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 南のかたの牲畜にかかる重負のよげん 曰く/かれらその財貨を若き驢馬のかたにおはせ その寳物を駱駝の背におはせて 牝獅 牡獅 まむし及びとびかける蛇のいづる苦しみと艱難との國をすぎて 己をえきすること能はざる民にゆかん
The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit them.
7 そのエジプトの助はいたづらにして虛し このゆゑに我はこれを休みをるラハブとよべり
For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
8 いま往てこれをその前にて牌にしるし書にのせ 後の世に傳へてとこしへに證とすべし
Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9 これは悖れる民いつはりをいふ子輩ヱホバの律法をきくことをせざる子輩なり
For it is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the law of Jehovah,
10 かれら見るものに對ひていふ見るなかれと 默示をうる者にむかひていふ直きことを示すなかれ 滑かなることをかたれ虛僞をしめせ
who say to the seers, Do not see, and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things. Prophesy deceits.
11 なんぢら大道をさり逕をはなれ われらが前にイスラエルの聖者をあらしむるなかれと
Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 此によりてイスラエルの聖者かくいひ給ふ なんぢらこの言をあなどり暴虐と邪曲とをたのみて之にたよれり
Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
13 斯るがゆゑにこの不義なんぢらには凸出ておちんとするたかき垣のさけたるところのごとく その破壞にはかに暫しが間にきたらんと
therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
14 主これを破りあだかも陶工の瓶をくだきやぶるがごとくして惜みたまはず その碎のなかに爐より火をとり池より水をくむほどの一片だに見出すことなからん
And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
15 主ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者かくいひたまへり なんぢら立かへりて靜かにせば救をえ 平穩にして依賴まば力をうべしと 然どなんぢらこの事をこのまざりき
For thus said the lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,
16 なんぢら反ていへり 否われら馬にのりて逃走らんと この故になんぢら逃走らん 又いへりわれら疾きものに乗んと この故になんぢらを追もの疾かるべし
but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And ye said, We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17 ひとり叱咤すれば千人にげはしり 五人しつたすればなんぢら逃走りて その遺るものは僅かに山嶺にある杆のごとく 岡のうへにある旗のごとくならん
One thousand shall flee at the threat of one. Ye shall flee at the threat of five, till ye are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
18 ヱホバこれにより俟てのち恩惠を汝等にほどこし これにより上りてのちなんぢらを憐れみたまはん ヱホバは公平の神にましませり 凡てこれを俟望むものは福ひなり
And therefore Jehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you. And therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you, for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 シオンにをりヱルサレムにをる民よ なんぢは再びなくことあらじ そのよばはる聲に應じて必ずなんぢに惠をほどこしたまはん 主ききたまふとき直にこたへたまふべし
For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Thou shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry. When he shall hear, he will answer thee.
20 主はなんぢらになやみの糧とくるしみの水とをあたへ給はん なんぢを敎るもの再びかくれじ 汝の目はその敎るものを恒にみるべし
And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet thy teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
21 なんぢ右にゆくも左にゆくもその耳に これは道なりこれを歩むべしと後邊にてかたるをきかん
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 又なんぢら白銀をおほひし刻める像 こがねをはりし鑄たる像をけがれとし 穢物のごとく打棄ていはん 去れと
And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold. Thou shall cast them away as an unclean thing. Thou shall say to it, Get thee away.
23 なんぢが地にまく種に主は雨をあたへ また地になりいづる糧をたまふ その土產こえて豐かならん その日なんぢの家畜はひろき牧場に草をはむべし
And he will give the rain for thy seed, with which thou shall sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.
24 地をたがへす牛と驢馬とは團扇にてあふぎ箕にてとほし鹽をくはへたる飼料をくらはん
Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
25 大なる殺戮の日やぐらのたふるる時もろもろのたかき山もろもろのそびえたる嶺に河とみづの流とあるべし
And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 かくてヱホバその民のきずをつつみ そのうたれたる創痍をいやしたまふ日には月のひかりは日の光のごとく日のひかりは七倍をくはへて七の日のひかりの如くならん
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 視よヱホバの名はとほき所よりきたり そのはげしき怒はもえあがる焰のごとく その唇はいきどほりにてみち その舌はやきつくす火のごとく
Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,
28 その氣息はみなぎりて項にまでいたる流のごとし 且ほろびの篩にてもろもろの國をふるひ又まどはす韁をもろもろの民の口におきたまはん
and his breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. And a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
29 なんぢらは歌うたはん節會をまもる夜のごとし なんぢらは心によろこばん笛をならしヱホバの山にきたりイスラエルの磐につくときの如し
Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as he who goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
30 ヱホバはその稜威のこゑをきかしめ 烈しき怒をはなちて燒つくす火のほのほと暴風と大雨と雹とをもて その臂のくだることを示したまはん
And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the coming down of his arm with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast and tempest and hailstones.
31 ヱホバのこゑによりてアツスリヤ人はくじけん 主はこれを笞にてうち給ふべし
For through the voice of Jehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed. With his rod he will smite him.
32 ヱホバの豫じめさだめたまへる杖をアツスリヤのうへにくはへたまふごとに 鼓をならし琴をひかん 主はうごきふるふ戰闘をもてかれらとたたかひ給ふべし
And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.
33 トペテは往古よりまうけられ また王のために備へられたり これを深くしこれを廣くしここに火とおほくの薪とをつみおきたり ヱホバの氣息これを硫黄のながれのごとくに燃さん
For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.
