イザヤ書 36
1 ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアツスリヤの王セナケリブ上りきたりてユダのもろもろの堅固なる邑をせめとれり
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 アツスリヤ王ラキシよりラブシヤケをヱルサレムに遣はし大軍をひきゐてヒゼキヤ王のもとに往しむ ラブシヤケ漂工の野のおほぢの傍なる上の池の樋にそひてたてり
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem against king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3 この時ヒゼキヤの子なる家司エリアキム 書記セブナ、アサフの子なる史官ヨア出てこれを迎ふ
Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4 ラブシヤケかれらにいひけるは なんぢら今ヒゼキヤにいへ大王アツスリヤの王かくいへり なんぢの恃とするその恃むところは何なるか
And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this in which thou trustest?
5 我いふ なんぢが説ところの軍のはかりごととその能力とはただ口唇のことばのみ 今なんぢ誰によりたのみて我にさかふことをなすや
I say, [sayest thou] (but [they are but] vain words) [I have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6 視よなんぢエジプトに依賴めり これ傷める葦の杖によりたのめるがごとし もし人これに倚もたれなばその手をつきさされん エジプト王パロがすべて己によりたのむものに對するは斯のごとし
Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man lean, it will enter his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7 汝われらはわれらの神ヱホバに依賴めりと我にいはんかそは曩にヒゼキヤが高きところと祭壇とをみな取去てユダとヱルサレムとにむかひ汝等ここなる一つの祭壇のまへにて拜すべしといへる夫ならずや
But if thou shalt say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is it] not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 いま請わが君アツスリヤ王に賭をせよ われ汝に二千の馬を與ふべければ汝よりこれに乗ものをいだせ 果して出しうべしや
Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst on thy part set riders upon them.
9 然ばいかで我君のいとちひさき僕の長一人をだに退くることを得んや なんぞエジプトによりたのみて戰車と騎兵とをえんとするや
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 いま我のぼりきたりてこの國をせめほろぼすはヱホバの旨にあらざるべけんや ヱホバわれにいひたまはく のぼりゆきてこの國をせめぼろぼせと
And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11 爰にエリアキムとセブナとヨアと共にラブシヤケにいひけるは請スリアの方言にて僕輩にかたれ我儕これをさとりうるなり石垣のうへなる民のきくところにてはユダヤの方言をもてわれらに語るなかれ
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Jew's language, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
12 ラブシヤケいひけるは わが君はこれらのことをなんぢの君となんぢとにのみ語らんために我をつかはししならんや なんぢらと共におのが糞をくらひおのが溺をのまんとする石垣のうへに坐する人々にも我をつかはししならずや
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may devour their vilest excretions with you?
13 斯てラブシヤケたちてユダヤの方言もて大聲によばはりいひけるは なんぢら大王アツスリヤ王のことばをきくべし
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jew's language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 王かくのたまへり なんぢらヒゼキヤに惑はさるるなかれ 彼なんぢらを救ふことあたはず
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 ヒゼキヤがなんぢらをヱホバに賴しめんとする言にしたがふなかれ 彼いへらく ヱホバかならず我儕をすくひこの邑はアツスリヤ王の手にわたさるることなしと
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, the LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 ヒゼキヤに聽從ふなかれ アツスリヤ王かくのたまへり なんぢらわれと親和をなし出できたりて我にくだれ おのおのその葡萄とその無花果とをくらひ かのおのその井の水をのむことを得べし
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
17 遂には我きたりて汝等をほかの國にたづさへゆかん その國はなんぢの國のごとき國にして 穀物 ぶだう酒 パンおよび葡萄園あり
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 おそらくはをヒゼキヤなんぢらに説てヱホバわれらを救ふべしといはん 然どももろもろの國の神等のなかにその國をアツスリヤ王の手より救へる者ありしや
[Beware] lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 ハマテ、アルバデの神等いづこにありや セバルワイムの神等いづこにありや 又わが手よりサマリヤを救出しし神ありや
Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 これらの國のもろもろの神のなかに誰かその國をわが手よりすくひいだしし者ありや さればヱホバも何でわが手よりヱルサレムを救ひいだし得んと
Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 如此ありければ民は默して一言をもこたへざりき そは之にこたふるなかれとの王のおほせありつればなり
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22 そのときヒルキヤの子なる家司エリアキム書記セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨアころもを裂てヒゼキヤにゆき之にラブシヤケの言をつげたり
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
