< 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 glad thereat; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as 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 blossom abundantly, and rejoice, yea, with joy and singing; the glory of the Lebanon shall be given unto it, the elegance of Carmel and Sharon; they indeed shall see the glory of the Lord, and 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 ye weak hands, and stumbling knees make ye firm.
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 timid of heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God, [with] vengeance will he come, with God's recompense; it is he who will come 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 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 leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and brooks 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 sandy waste shall be changed into a pool, and the thirsty land into springs of water: in the habitation of monsters, where each one used to lie, shall be a court for 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 there shall be a highway and a way, and The holy way, shall it be called; no unclean one shall pass over it; but it shall be [only] theirs; the wayfaring man, and those unacquainted [therewith], shall not go astray.
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, and no ravenous beast shall go up thereon, shall not be found there; but there shall walk the redeemed:
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 the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with song, with everlasting joy upon their head; gladness and joy shall they obtain, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
