イザヤ書 33
1 禍ひなるかななんぢ害はれざるに人をそこなひ 欺かれざるに人をあざむけり なんぢが害ふこと終らば汝そこなはれ なんぢが欺くことはてなば汝あざむかるべし
Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
2 ヱホバよわれらを惠み給へわれらなんぢを俟望めり なんぢ朝ごとにわれらの臂となり また患難のときにわれらの救となりたまへ
Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
3 なりとどろく聲によりてもろもろの民にげはしり なんぢの起たまふによりてもろもろの國はちりうせぬ
When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
4 蟊賊のものをはみつくすがごとく人なんぢらの財をとり盡さん また蝗のとびつどふがごとく人なんぢらの財にとびつどふべし
You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
5 ヱホバは最たかし高處にすみたまふなり ヱホバはシオンに公正と正義とを充せたまひたり
The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
6 なんぢの代はかたくたち 救と智惠と知識とはゆたかにあらん ヱホバをおそるるは國の寳なり
He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
7 視よかれらの勇士は外にありてさけび 和をもとむる使者はいたく哭く
But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 大路あれすたれて旅客たえ 敵は契約をやぶり諸邑をなみし人をもののかずとせず
Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
9 地はうれへおとろへ レバノンは恥らひて枯れ シヤロンはアラバの如くなり バシヤンとカルメルとはその葉をおとす
Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
10 ヱホバ言給はく われ今おきん今たたん 今みづからを高くせん
“But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
11 なんぢらの孕むところは枇糠のごとく なんぢらの生ところは藁のごとし なんぢらの氣息は火となりてなんぢらを食ひつくさん
All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
12 もろもろの民はやかれて灰のごとくなり 荊のきられて火にもやされたるが如くならん
You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
13 なんぢら遠にあるものよ わが行ひしことをきけ なんぢら近にあるものよ わが能力をしれ
Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
14 シオンの罪人はおそる 戰慄はよこしまなる者にのぞめり われらの中たれか燒つくす火に止ることを得んや 我儕のうち誰かとこしへに燒るなかに止るをえんや
The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
15 義をおこなふもの直をかたるもの虐げてえたる利をいとひすつるもの手をふりて賄賂をとらざるもの 耳をふさぎて血をながす謀略をきかざるもの 目をとぢて惡をみざる者
Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
16 かかる人はたかき處にすみ かたき磐はその櫓となり その糧はあたへられその水はともしきことなからん
They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
17 なんぢの目はうるはしき狀なる王を見 とほくひろき國をみるべし
You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
18 汝の心はかの懼しかりしことどもを思ひいでん 會計せし者はいづくにありや 貢をはかりし者はいづくにありや 櫓をかぞへし者はいづくにありや
In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
19 汝ふたたび暴民をみざるべし かの民の言語はふかくして悟りがたくその舌は異にして解がたし
You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
20 われらの節會の邑シオンを見よ なんぢの目はやすらかなる居所となれるヱルサレムを見ん ヱルサレムはうつさるることなき幕屋にして その杙はとこしへにぬかれず その繩は一すぢだに斷れざるなり
On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
21 ヱホバ我らとともに彼處にいまして稜威をあらはし給はん 斯てそのところはひろき川ひろき流あるところとなりて その中には漕舟もいらず巨艦もすぐることなかるべし
Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
22 ヱホバはわれらを鞫きたまふもの ヱホバはわれらに律法をたてたまひし者 ヱホバはわれらの王にましまして我儕をすくひ給ふべければなり
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
23 なんぢの船纜はとけたり その桅杆のもとを結びかたむることあたはず 帆をあぐることあたはず その時おほくの財をわかち跛者までも掠物あらん
The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
24 かしこに住るものの中われ病りといふ者なし彼處にをる民の咎はゆるされん
Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
