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 apostate children, says the Lord: you have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:

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

[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.

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

For the protection of Pharaoh shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt.

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 there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.

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

In vain shall they labour [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help, but [shall be] for a shame and 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 VISION OF THE QUADRUPEDS IN THE DESERT. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on asses and camels to a nation which 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

The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.

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 then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for 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 the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:

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 prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us, but speak and report to us another error;

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

and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel.

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 you have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because you have murmured, and been confident in this respect:

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 shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.

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 the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that you should not find amongst them a sherd, with which you might take up fire, and with which you should draw a little water.

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

Thus says the Lord, the Holy Lord of Israel; When you shall turn and mourn, then you shall be saved; and you shall know where you were, when you did trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet you would not listen:

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 you said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you 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

A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until you be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon 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 the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon 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 holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity you: when he perceived the voice of your cry, he listened to you.

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 shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water, yet they that cause you to err shall no more at all draw near to you; for your eyes shall see those that cause you to err,

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 your ears shall hear the words of them that went after you to lead you astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or 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 you shall pollute the plated idols, and you shall grind to powder the gilt ones, and shall scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and you shall thrust them forth as dung.

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

Then shall there be rain to the seed of your land; and the bread of the fruit of your land shall be plenteous and rich: and your cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.

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

Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.

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, water running in that day, when many shall perish, and when the towers shall 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

And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold in the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of your 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 the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as 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, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them.

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

Must you always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must you go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God 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 the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.

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 by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall strike them.

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 it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.

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 you shall be required before [your] time: has it been prepared for you also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for you] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
