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 children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order 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

That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter 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 shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.

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 his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.

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 all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] 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 doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.

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

And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting 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 table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:

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 this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

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 have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal 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

Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One 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 hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:

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 iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.

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 will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.

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 hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; 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

And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers 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 threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, 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 will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that 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 O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth 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 the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy 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 thy ears shall hear the 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 will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.

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 will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive 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

The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

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 high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when 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

And 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 the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise 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 the Lord cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like 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, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.

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

[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, 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 the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of 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 because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.

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 at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.

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 already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
