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 hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou [art] dying, and dost 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
And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto 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 saith, 'I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have done;' and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.
4 ヱホバの言イザヤにのぞみて曰く
And a word of Jehovah is unto 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 thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, 'I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I am adding 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 out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over 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 [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth this thing that He hath 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
Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that 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
A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being sick, when he reviveth from his sickness:
'I — I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine 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 do not see Jah — Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any 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 sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end 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 have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end 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
As a crane — a swallow — so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression [is] on me, be 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 do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself hath wrought, I go softly all my years for 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
Lord, by these do [men] live, And by all in them [is] the life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also 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
Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast behind Thy back all my sins.
For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not 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 doth confess Thee.
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
Like myself to-day — a father to sons Doth make known of Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah — to save me: And my songs we sing all days of our lives 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
And Isaiah saith, 'Let them take a bunch of figs, and plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.'
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
And Hezekiah saith, 'What [is] the sign that I go up to the house of Jehovah!'
