イザヤ書 38
1 そのころヒゼキヤやみて死んとせしにアモツの子預言者イザヤきたりて彼にいふ ヱホバ如此いひたまはく なんぢ家に遺言をとどめよ 汝しにて活ることあたはざればなり
In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set thy house in order, for thou shall die, and not live.
2 爰にヒゼキヤ面を壁にむけてヱホバに祈りいひけるは
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
3 ああヱホバよ 願くはわがなんぢの前に眞實をもて一心をもてあゆみ なんぢの目によきことを行ひたるをおもひいでたまへ 斯てヒゼキヤ甚くなきぬ
and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept greatly.
4 ヱホバの言イザヤにのぞみて曰く
Then the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
5 なんぢ往てヒゼキヤにいへ なんぢの祖ダビデの神ヱホバかくいひ給はく 我なんぢの禱告をききなんぢの涙をみたり 我なんぢの齢を十五年ましくはへ
Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says Jehovah, the God of David thy father. I have heard thy prayer. I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
6 且なんぢとこの城とを救ひてアツスリヤわうの手をのがれしめん又われこの城をまもるべし
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
7 ヱホバ語りたまひたる此事を成たまふ證にこの徴をなんぢに賜ふ
And this shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he has spoken:
8 視よわれアハズの日晷にすすみたる日影を十度しりぞかしめんといひければ乃ちひばかりにすすみたる日影十度しりぞきぬ
Behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial on which it had gone down.
9 ユダの王ヒゼキヤ病にかかりてその病のいえしのち記しし書は左のごとし
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 我いへり われ再びヱホバを見奉ることあらじ再びいけるものの地にてヱホバを見奉ることあらじ われは無ものの中にいりてふたたび人を見ることあらじ
I said, I shall not see Jehovah, even Jehovah in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12 わが住所はうつされて牧人の幕屋をとりさるごとくに我をはなる わがいのちは織工の布をまきをはりて機より翦はなすごとくならん なんぢ朝夕のあひだに我をたえしめたまはん
My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night thou will make an end of me.
13 われは天明におよぶまで己をおさへてしづめたり 主は獅のごとくに我もろもろの骨を碎きたまふ なんぢ朝夕の間にわれを絶しめたまはん
I quieted myself until morning. As a lion, so he breaks all my bones. From day even to night will thou make an end of me.
14 われは燕のごとく鶴のごとくに哀みなき鳩のごとくにうめき わが眼はうへを視ておとろふ ヱホバよわれは迫りくるしめらる 願くはわが中保となりたまへ
Like a swallow or a crane, so I chattered. I moaned as a dove. My eyes fail with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
15 主はわれとものいひ且そのごとくみづから成たまへり われ何をいふべきか わが世にある間わが靈魂の苦しめる故によりて愼みてゆかん
What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
16 主よこれらの事によりて人は活るなり わが靈魂のいのちも全くこれらの事によるなり 願くはわれを醫しわれを活したまへ
O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit. Therefore recover thou me, and make me to live.
17 視よわれに甚しき艱苦をあたへたまへるは我に平安をえしめんがためなり 汝わがたましひを愛して滅亡の穴をまぬかれしめ給へり そはわが罪をことごとく背後にすてたまへり
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness. But thou have by love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption. For thou have cast all my sins behind thy back.
For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee. Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 唯いけるもののみ活るものこそ汝にかんしやするなれ わが今日かんしやするが如し 父はなんぢの誠實をその子にしらしめん
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day. The father to the sons shall make known thy truth.
20 ヱホバ我を救ひたまはん われら世にあらんかぎりヱホバのいへにて琴をひきわが歌をうたはん
Jehovah is ready to save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.
21 イザヤいへらく無花果の一團をとりきたりて腫物のうへにつけよ 王かならずいえん
Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 ヒゼキヤも亦いへらく わがヱホバの家にのぼることにつきては何の兆あらんか
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?
