< 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 land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily.
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 bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty 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 ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak 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 the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will 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 shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall 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 shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness.
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 that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwell before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush.
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 path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that 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 any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered.
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 redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
