< イザヤ書 35 >
1 荒野とうるほひなき地とはたのしみ 沙漠はよろこびて番紅の花のごとくに咲かがやかん
The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 盛に咲かがやきてよろこび且よろこび且うたひ レバノンの榮をえカルメルおよびシヤロンの美しきを得ん かれらはヱホバのさかえを見われらの神のうるはしきを見るべし
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.
3 なんぢら萎たる手をつよくし弱りたる膝をすこやかにせよ
Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.
4 心さわがしきものに對ていへ なんぢら雄々しかれ懼るるなかれ なんぢらの神をみよ 刑罰きたり神の報きたらん 神きたりてなんぢらを救ひたまふべし
Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.
5 そのとき瞽者の目はひらけ聾者の耳はあくことを得べし
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;
6 そのとき跛者は鹿の如くにとびはしり唖者の舌はうたうたはん そは荒野に水わきいで沙漠に川ながるべければなり
then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.
7 やけたる沙は池となり うるほひなき地はみづの源となり 野犬のふしたるすみかは蘆葦のしげりあふ所となるべし
And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 かしこに大路あり そのみちは聖道ととなへられん 穢れたるものはこれを過ることあたはず ただ主の民のために備へらる これを歩むものはおろかなりとも迷ふことなし
And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even fools, — shall not err [therein].
9 かしこに獅をらず あらき獸もその路にのぼることなし 然ばそこにて之にあふ事なかるべし ただ贖はれたる者のみそこを歩まん
No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].
10 ヱホバに贖ひすくはれし者うたうたひつつ歸てシオンにきたり その首にとこしへの歡喜をいただき樂とよろこびとをえん 而して悲哀となげきとは逃さるべし
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
