イザヤ書 42
1 わが扶くるわが僕わが心よろこぶわが撰人をみよ 我わが靈をかれにあたへたり かれ異邦人に道をしめすべし
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 かれは叫ぶことなく聲をあぐることなくその聲を街頭にきこえしめず
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 また傷める蘆ををることなくほのくらき燈火をけすことなく 眞理をもて道をしめさん
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 かれは衰へず喪膽せずして道を地にたてをはらん もろもろの島はその法言をまちのぞむべし
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 天をつくりてこれをのべ 地とそのうへの產物とをひらき そのうへの民に息をあたへ その中をあゆむものに靈をあたへたまふ神ヱホバかく言給ふ
Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 云くわれヱホバ公義をもてなんぢを召たり われなんぢの手をとり汝をまもり なんぢを民の契約とし異邦人のひかりとなし
I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 而して瞽の目を開き俘囚を獄よりいだし 暗にすめるものを檻のうちより出さしめん
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 われはヱホバなり是わが名なり 我はわが榮光をほかの者にあたへず わがほまれを偶像にあたへざるなり
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 さきに預言せるところはや成れり 我また新しきことをつげん 事いまだ兆さざるさきに我まづなんぢらに聞せんと
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 海にうかぶもの 海のなかに充るもの もろもろの島およびその民よ ヱホバにむかひて新しき歌をうたひ 地の極よりその頌美をたたへまつれ
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: ye [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 荒野とその中のもろもろの邑とケダル人のすめるもろもろの村里はこゑをあげよ セラの民はうたひて山のいただきよりよばはれ
Rejoice, thou wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 榮光をヱホバにかうぶらせ その頌美をもろもろの島にて語りつげよ
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 ヱホバ勇士のごとく出たまふ また戰士のごとく熱心をおこし 聲をあげてよばはり大能をあらはして仇をせめ給はん
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 われ久しく聲をいださず默して己をおさへたり 今われ子をうまんとする婦人のごとく叫ばん 我いきづかしくかつ喘がん
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 われ山と岡とをあらし且すべてその上の木草をからし もろもろの河を島としもろもろの池を涸さん
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 われ瞽者をその未だしらざる大路にゆかしめ その未だしらざる徑をふましめ 暗をその前に光となし 曲れるをその前になほくすべし 我これらの事をおこなひて彼らをすてじ
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 刻みたる偶像にたのみ鑄たる偶像にむかひて汝等はわれらの神なりといふものは退けられて大に恥をうけん
But they are turned back: be ye utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], Ye are our gods.
18 聾者よきけ 瞽者よ眼をそそぎてみよ
Hear, ye deaf, and look up, ye blind, to see.
19 瞽者はたれぞ わが僕にあらずや 誰かわがつかはせる使者の如き瞽者あらんや 誰かわが友の如きめしひあらんや 誰かヱホバの僕のごときめしひあらんや
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yea, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 汝おほくのことを見れども顧みず 耳をひらけども聞ざるなり
Ye have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and ye have not heard.
21 ヱホバおのれ義なるがゆゑに大にしてたふとき律法をたまふをよろこび給へり
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 然るにこの民はかすめられ奪はれて みな穴中にとらはれ獄のなかに閉こめらる 斯てその掠めらるるを助くる者なく その奪はれたるを償へといふ者なし
And I beheld, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 なんぢらのうち誰かこのことに耳をかたぶけん たれか心をもちゐて後のために之をきかん
Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? hearken ye to the things which are coming to pass.
24 ヤコブを奪はせしものは誰ぞ かすむる者にイスラエルをわたしし者はたれぞ 是ヱホバにあらずや われらヱホバに罪ををかし その道をあゆまず その律法にしたがふことを好まざりき
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor hearken to his law.
25 この故にヱホバ烈しき怒をかたぶけ 猛きいくさをきたらせ その烈しきこと火の如く四圍にもゆれども彼しらず その身に焚せまれども心におかざりき
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
