イザヤ書 40
1 なんぢらの神いひたまはく なぐさめよ汝等わが民をなぐさめよ
My puple, be ye coumfortid, be ye coumfortid, seith youre Lord God.
2 懇ろにヱルサレムに語り之によばはり告よ その服役の期すでに終り その咎すでに赦されたり そのもろもろの罪によりてヱホバの手よりうけしところは倍したりと
Speke ye to the herte of Jerusalem, and clepe ye it, for the malice therof is fillid, the wickidnesse therof is foryouun; it hath resseyued of the hond of the Lord double thingis for alle hise synnes.
3 よばはるものの聲きこゆ云く なんぢら野にてヱホバの途をそなへ沙漠にわれらの神の大路をなほくせよと
The vois of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye riytful the pathis of oure God in wildirnesse.
4 もろもろの谷はたかくもろもろの山と岡とはひくくせられ 曲りたるはなほく崎嶇はたひらかにせらるべし
Ech valey schal be enhaunsid, and ech mounteyn and litil hil schal be maad low; and schrewid thingis schulen be in to streiyt thingis, and scharpe thingis schulen be in to pleyn weies.
5 斯てヱホバの榮光あらはれ人みな共にこれを見ん こはヱホバの口より語りたまへるなり
And the glorie of the Lord schal be schewid, and ech man schal se togidere, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoke.
6 聲きこゆ云く よばはれ答へていふ何とよばはるべきか いはく人はみな草なり その榮華はすべて野の花のごとし
The vois of God, seiynge, Crie thou. And Y seide, What schal Y crie? Ech fleisch is hei, and al the glorie therof is as the flour of the feeld.
7 草はかれ花はしぼむ ヱホバの息そのうへに吹ければなり 實に民はくさなり
The hei is dried vp, and the flour felle doun, for the spirit of the Lord bleew therynne.
8 草はかれ花はしぼむ 然どわれらの神のことばは永遠にたたん
Verely the puple is hey; the hey is dried vp, and the flour felle doun; but the word of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.
9 よき音信をシオンにつたふる者よ なんぢ高山にのぼれ 嘉おとづれをヱルサレムにつたふる者よ なんぢ強く聲をあげよ こゑを揚ておそるるなかれ ユダのもろもろの邑につけよ なんぢらの神きたり給へりと
Thou that prechist to Sion, stie on an hiy hil; thou that prechist to Jerusalem, enhaunse thi vois in strengthe; enhaunse thou, nyle thou drede; seie thou to the citees of Juda, Lo! youre God.
10 みよ主ヱホバ能力をもちて來りたまはん その臂は統治めたまはん 賞賜はその手にあり はたらきの値はその前にあり
Lo! the Lord God schal come in strengthe, and his arm schal holde lordschipe; lo! his mede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
11 主は牧者のごとくその群をやしなひ その臂にて小羊をいだき之をその懷中にいれてたづさへ乳をふくまする者をやはらかに導きたまはん
As a scheepherd he schal fede his flok, he schal gadere lambreen in his arm, and he schal reise in his bosom; he schal bere scheep `with lomb.
12 たれか掌心をもてもろもろの水をはかり指をのばして天をはかり また地の塵を量器にもり天秤をもてもろもろの山をはかり權衡をもてもろもろの岡をはかりしや
Who mat watris in a fist, and peiside heuenes with a spanne? Who peiside the heuynesse of the erthe with thre fyngris, and weide mounteyns in a weihe, and litle hillis in a balaunce?
13 誰かヱホバの靈をみちびきその議士となりて敎しや
Who helpide the Spirit of the Lord, ether who was his councelour, and schewide to hym?
14 ヱホバは誰とともに議りたまひしや たれかヱホバを聰くしこれに公平の道をまなばせ知識をあたへ明通のみちを示したりしや
With whom took he councel, and who lernyde hym, and tauyte hym the path of riytfulnesse, and lernyde hym in kunnyng, and schewyde to him the weie of prudence?
15 視よもろもろの國民は桶のひとしづくのごとく 權衡のちりのごとくに思ひたまふ島々はたちのぼる塵埃のごとし
Lo! folkis ben as a drope of a boket, and ben arettid as the tunge of a balaunce; lo!
16 レバノンは柴にたらずそのなかの獸は燔祭にたらず
ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.
17 ヱホバの前にはもろもろの國民みななきにひとし ヱホバはかれらを無もののごとく空きもののごとく思ひたまふ
Alle folkis ben so bifore hym, as if thei ben not; and thei ben rettid as no thing and veyn thing to hym.
18 然ばなんぢら誰をもて神にくらべ いかなる肖像をもて神にたぐふか
To whom therfor maden ye God lijk? ether what ymage schulen ye sette to hym?
19 偶像はたくみ鑄てつくり 金工こがねをもて之をおほひ白銀をもて之がために鏈をつくれり
Whether a smyth schal welle togidere an ymage, ether a gold smyth schal figure it in gold, and a worchere in siluer schal diyte it with platis of siluer?
20 かかる寳物をそなへえざる貧しきものは朽まじき木をえらみ良匠をもとめてうごくことなき像をたたしむ
A wijs crafti man chees a strong tre, and vnable to be rotun; he sekith how he schal ordeyne a symylacre, that schal not be mouyd.
21 なんぢら知ざるか なんぢら聞ざるか 始よりなんぢらに傳へざりしか なんぢらは地の基をおきしときより悟らざりしか
Whether ye witen not? whether ye herden not? whether it was not teld to you fro the begynnynge? whether ye vndurstoden not the foundementis of erthe?
22 ヱホバは地のはるか上にすわり地にすむものを蝗のごとく視たまふ おほぞらを薄絹のごとく布き これを住ふべき幕屋のごとくはり給ふ
Which sittith on the cumpas of erthe, and the dwelleris therof ben as locustis; which stretchith forth heuenes as nouyt, and spredith abrood tho as a tabernacle to dwelle.
23 又もろもろの君をなくならしめ地の審士をむなしくせしむ
Which yyueth the sercheris of priuytees, as if thei be not, and made the iugis of erthe as a veyn thing.
24 かれらは僅かに植られ僅かに播れ その幹わづかに地に根ざししに 神そのうへを吹たまへば即ちかれて藁のごとく暴風にまきさらるべし
And sotheli whanne the stok of hem is nether plauntid, nether is sowun, nether is rootid in erthe, he bleew sudenli on hem, and thei drieden vp, and a whirle wynd schal take hem awei as stobil.
25 聖者いひ給はく さらばなんぢら誰をもて我にくらべ我にたぐふか
And to what thing `ye han licned me, and han maad euene? seith the hooli.
26 なんぢら眼をあげて高をみよ たれか此等のものを創造せしやをおもへ 主は數をしらべてその萬象をひきいだしおのおのの名をよびたまふ 主のいきほひ大なり その力のつよきがゆゑに一も缺ることなし
Reise youre iyen an hiy, and se ye, who made these thingis of nouyt; which ledith out in noumbre the kniythod of tho, and clepith alle bi name, for the multitude of his strengthe, and stalworthnesse, and vertu; nether o residue thing was.
27 ヤコブよなんぢ何故にわが途はヱホバにかくれたりといふや イスラエルよ汝なにゆゑにわが訟はわが神の前をすぎされりとかたるや
Whi seist thou, Jacob, and spekist thou, Israel, My weie is hid fro the Lord, and my doom passide fro my God?
28 汝しらざるか聞ざるかヱホバはとこしへの神地のはての創造者にして倦たまふことなく また疲れたまふことなく その聰明こと測りがたし
Whether thou knowist not, ether herdist thou not? God, euerlastynge Lord, that made of nouyt the endis of erthe, schal not faile, nether schal trauele, nether enserchyng of his wisdom is.
29 疲れたるものには力をあたへ勢力なきものには強きをまし加へたまふ
That yyueth vertu to the weeri, and strengthe to hem that ben not, and multiplieth stalworthnesse.
30 年少きものもつかれてうみ壯んなるものも衰へおとろふ
Children schulen faile, and schulen trauele, and yonge men schulen falle doun in her sikenesse.
31 然はあれどヱホバを俟望むものは新なる力をえん また鷲のごとく翼をはりてのぼらん 走れどもつかれず歩めども倦ざるべし
But thei that hopen in the Lord, schulen chaunge strengthe, thei schulen take fetheris as eglis; thei schulen renne, and schulen not trauele; thei schulen go, and schulen not faile.
