イザヤ書 37
1 ヒゼキヤ王これをききてその衣をさき麁衣をまとひてヱホバの家にゆき
And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
2 家司エリアキム書記セブナおよび祭司のなかの長老等をして皆あらたへをまとはせてアモツの子預言者イザヤのもとにゆかしむ
And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
3 かれらイザヤにいひけるは ヒゼキヤ如此いへり けふは患難と責と辱かしめの日なり そは子うまれんとして之をうみいだすの力なし
And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
4 なんぢの神ヱホバあるひはラブシヤケがもろもろの言をききたまはん 彼はその君アツスリヤ王につかはされて活る神をそしれり なんぢの神ヱホバその言をききて或はせめたまふならん されば請なんぢこの遺れるもののために祈禱をささげよと
If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
5 かくてヒゼキヤ王の諸僕イザヤにいたる
So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 イザヤかれらに言けるは なんぢらの君につげよ ヱホバ斯いひたまへり曰く アツスリヤ王のしもべら我をののしりけがせり なんぢらその聞しことばによりて懼るるなかれ
And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
7 視よわれかれが意をうごかすべければ 一つの風聲をききておのが國にかへらん かれをその國にて劍にたふれしむべし
Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
8 爰にラブシヤケはアツスリヤ王がラキシを離れさりしとききて歸りけるとき際しも王はリブナを攻をれり
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 このときエテオピアの王テルハカの事についてきけり云く かれいでて汝とたたかふべしと このことをききて使者をヒゼキヤに遣していふ
He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 なんぢらユダの王ヒゼキヤにつげて如此いへ なんぢが賴める神なんぢを欺きてヱルサレムはアツスリヤ王の手にわたされじといふを聽ことなかれ
Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
11 視よアツスリヤの王等もろもろの國にいかなることをおこなひ如何してこれを悉くほろぼししかを汝ききしならん されば汝すくはるることを得んや
Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
12 わが先祖たちの滅ぼししゴザン、ハラン、レゼフおよびテラサルなるエデンの族など此等のくにぐにの神はその國をすくひたりしや
Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
13 ハマテの王アルバデの王セバルワイムの都の王ヘナの王およびイワの王はいづこにありやと
Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
14 ヒゼキヤつかひの手より書をうけて之を讀り しかしてヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの宮にのぼりゆきヱホバの前にこのふみを展ぶ
So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
15 ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバに祈ていひけるは
And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
16 ケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神よ ただ汝のみ地のうへなるよろづの國の神なり なんぢは天地をつくりたまへり
O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
17 ヱホバよ耳をかたむけて聽たまへ ヱホバよ目をひらきて視たまへ セナケリブ使者して活る神をそしらしめし言をことごとくききたまへ
Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
18 ヱホバよ實にアツスリヤの王等はもろもろの國民とその地とをあらし毀ち
Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
19 かれらの神たちを火になげいれたり これらのものは神にあらず 人の手の工にして あるひは木あるひは石なり 斯るがゆゑに滅ぼされたり
And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
20 さればわれらの神ヱホバよ 今われらをアツスリヤ王の手より救ひいだして 地のもろもろの國にただ汝のみヱホバなることを知しめたまへ
Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
21 ここにアモツの子イザヤ人をつかはしてヒゼキヤにいはせけるは イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふ 汝はアツスリヤ王セナケリブのことにつきて我にいのれり
Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
22 ヱホバが彼のことにつきて語り給へるみことばは是なり いはくシオンの處女はなんぢを侮りなんぢをあざけり ヱルサレムの女子はなんぢの背後より頭をふれり
This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
23 汝がそしりかつ罵れるものは誰ぞ なんぢが聲をあげ目をたかく向てさからひたるものはたれぞ イスラエルの聖者ならずや
Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
24 なんぢその使者によりて主をそしりていふ 我はおほくの戰車をひきゐて山々のいただきに登りレバノンの奧にまでいりぬ 我はたけたかき香柏とうるはしき松樹とをきり またその境なるたかき處にゆき腴たる地の林にゆかん
By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
25 我は井をほりて水をのみたり われは足跖をもてエジプトの河々をからさんと
I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
26 なんぢ聞ずや これらのことはわが昔よりなす所 いにしへの日よりさだめし所なり 今なんぢがこの堅城をこぼちあらして石堆となすも亦わがきたらしし所なり
Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
27 そのなかの民はちから弱くをののきて恥をいだき 野草のごとく靑き菜のごとく屋蓋の草のごとく未だそだたざる苗のごとし
Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
28 我なんぢが居ること出入すること又われにむかひて怒りさけべることをしる
But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
29 なんぢが我にむかひて怒りさけべると汝がほこれる言とわが耳にいりたれば我なんぢの鼻に環をはめ汝のくちびるに鑣をつけて汝がきたれる路よりかへらしめん
Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
30 ヒゼキヤよ我がなんぢにたまふ徴はこれなり なんぢら今年は落穂より生たるものを食ひ 明年は糵生より出たるものを食はん 三年にあたりては種ことをなし收ことをなし 葡萄ぞのを作りてその果を食ふべし
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
31 ユダの家ののがれて遺れる者はふたたび下は根をはり上は果を結ぶべし
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
32 そは遺るものはヱルサレムよりいで脱るるものはシオンの山よりいづるなり 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
33 この故にヱホバ、アツスリヤの王については如此いひたまふ 彼はこの城にいらず ここに箭をはなたず盾を城のまへにならべず 壘をきづきて攻ることなし
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
34 かれはそのきたりし道よりかへりてこの城にいらず
By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
35 我おのれの故によりて僕ダビデの故によりて この城をまもり この城をすくはん これヱホバ宣給るなり
For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
36 ヱホバの使者いできたりアツスリヤの陣營のなかにて十八萬五千人をうちころせり早晨におきいでて見ればみな死てかばねとなれり
Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
37 アツスリヤ王セナケリブ起てかへりゆきニネベにとどまる
So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
38 一日おのが神ニスロクのみやにて禮拜をなし居しにその子アデランメレクとシヤレゼルと劍をもて彼をころし而してアララテの地ににげゆけり かれが子エサルハドンつぎて王となりぬ
And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
