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 it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
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 sent Eliakim who was over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, Son 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 said unto him, Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of distress and rebuke and reviling, is this day, —For children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth.
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
It may be, that Yahweh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his lord, hath sent to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
5 かくてヒゼキヤ王の諸僕イザヤにいたる
So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto 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 said unto them, Thus, shall ye, surely say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, 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
Behold me! about to let go against him a blast of alarm, and when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 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 Assyria, warring against Libnah, —for he had heard, that he had broken up 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
And he heard it reported concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, saying, He hath come forth to fight with thee, —so when he heard it, he sent messengers unto 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 surely speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom, thou, art trusting, beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem, shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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
Lo! thou, thyself, hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
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
Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, —Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in 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 are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, —of Hena, and Ivvah?
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
And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out, before Yahweh.
15 ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバに祈ていひけるは
And Hezekiah prayed unto Yahweh 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make the heavens 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
Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes—and see, —Yea hear thou all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—to reproach a Living 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
Of a truth, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction all the countries, and their land;
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 have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were they, but the work of the hands of men wood and stone and so 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
Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us, out of his hand, —That all the kingdoms of the earth, may know, That, thou, art Yahweh, thou alone.
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 son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, In that thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
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 word which Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn—mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem after thee doth wag her head,
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
Whom, hast thou reproached and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, 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
Through thy servants, thou hast reproached My Lord and hast said, —With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended The height of the mountains The recesses of Lebanon, That I may cut down Its tallest cedars Its choicest firs, That I may enter Its highest summit, Its thick garden forest:
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, have digged, and drunk waters, —That I may dry up, with the soles of my feet, all the Nile-streams of Egypt.
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—That, long ago, that, is what I appointed, And from days of old, devised? Now, have I brought it to pass, That thou mightest Serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
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
And their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame—They became—Grass of the field and Young herbage, Grass on housetops, and Seed parched before it came up.
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
Howbeit, thine abode and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —and thy raging 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, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, Therefore will I put My ring in thy nose, and My bit in thy lips, And will turn thee back, by the way by which 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 unto thee, is the sign, Eating this year, the growth of scattered seeds, And in the second year, that which shooteth up of itself, —Then in the third year, Sow ye—and reap, and Plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit 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
Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again, Take root downward, —And bear fruit upward.
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 Jerusalem, shall come forth a remnant, And that which hath escaped, out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform, 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, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, Nor shoot there, an arrow, —Nor attack it with shield, Nor cast up against it a mound:
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 way that he Came in, By the Same, shall he return, —And into this city, shall he not enter, Declareth Yahweh.
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
Thus will I throw a covering over this city to save it, —For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant.
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 went forth the messenger of Yahweh, and smote—in the camp of the Assyrians—a hundred and eighty-five thousand, —and when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
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 Sennacherib the king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained in Nineveh.
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 it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons, smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and, Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
