イザヤ書 31

1 助をえんとてエジプトにくだり馬によりたのむものは禍ひなるかな 戰車おほきが故にこれにたのみ騎兵はなはだ强きがゆゑに之にたのむ されどイスラエルの聖者をあふがずヱホバを求ることをせざるなり

Woe vnto them that goe downe into Egypt for helpe, and stay vpon horses, and trust in charets, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they be very strong: but they looke not vnto the holy one of Israel, nor seeke vnto the Lord.

2 然はあれどもヱホバもまた智慧あるべし かならず禍害をくだしてその言をひるがへしたまはず 起てあしきものの家をせめ また不義を行ふ者の助をせめ給はん

But he yet is wisest: therefore he wil bring euill, and not turne backe his worde, but he will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the helpe of them that worke vanitie.

3 かのエジプト人は人にして神にあらずその馬は肉にして靈にあらず ヱホバその手をのばしたまはば助くるものも蹟き たすけらるる者もたふれてみなひとしく亡びん

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirite: and when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, the helper shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall, and they shall altogether faile.

4 ヱホバ如此われにいひたまふ 獅のほえ壯獅の獲物をつかみてほえたけれるとき 許多のひつじかひ相呼つどひてむかひゆくとも その聲によりて挫けずその喧譁しきによりて臆せざるごとく 萬軍のヱホバくだりてシオンの山およびその岡にて戰ひ給ふべし

For thus hath the Lord spoken vnto me, As the lyon or lyons whelpe roareth vpon his praye, against whom if a multitude of shepheards be called, hee will not be afraide at their voyce, neither will humble him selfe at their noise: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

5 鳥の雛をまもるがごとく萬軍のヱホバはヱルサレムをまもりたまはん これを護りてこれをすくひ踰越てこれを援けたまはん

As birds that flie, so shall the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem by defending and deliuering, by passing through and preseruing it.

6 イスラエルの子輩よなんぢらさきには甚だしく主にそむけり 今たちかへるべし

O ye children of Israel, turne againe, in as much as ye are sunken deepe in rebellion.

7 なんぢらおのが手につくりて罪ををかしし白銀のぐうざう黄金の偶像をその日おのおのなげすてん

For in that day euery man shall cast out his idoles of siluer, and his idoles of golde, which your handes haue made you, euen a sinne.

8 爰にアツスリヤびとは劍にてたふれん されど人のつるぎにあらず 劍かれらをほろぼさん されど世の人のつるぎにあらず かれら劍のまへより逃はしりその壯きものは役丁とならん

Then shall Asshur fall by the sworde, not of man, neither shall the sworde of man deuoure him, and hee shall flee from the sworde, and his yong men shall faint.

9 かれらの磐はおそれによりて逝去り その君たちは旗をみてくじけん こはヱホバの御言なり ヱホバの火はシオンにありヱホバの爐はヱルサレムにあり

And he shall go for feare to his towre, and his princes shall be afraide of the standart, sayeth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
