イザヤ書 43
1 ヤコブよなんぢを創造せるヱホバいま如此いひ給ふ イスラエルよ汝をつくれるもの今かく言給ふ おそるるなかれ我なんぢを贖へり 我なんぢの名をよべり汝はわが有なり
But now thus says Jehovah who created thee, O Jacob, and he who formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, Thou are mine.
2 なんぢ水中をすぐるときは我ともにあらん河のなかを過るときは水なんぢの上にあふれじ なんぢ火中をゆくとき焚るることなく火焰もまた燃つかじ
When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 我はヱホバなんぢの神イスラエルの聖者 なんぢの救主なり われエジプトを予えてなんぢの贖代となし エテオピアとセバとをなんぢに代ふ
For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.
4 われ看てなんぢを寶とし尊きものとして亦なんぢを愛す この故にわれ人をもてなんぢにかへ 民をなんぢの命にかへん
Since thou have been precious in my sight, and honorable, and I have loved thee, therefore I will give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.
5 懼るるなかれ我なんぢとともにあり 我なんぢの裔を東よりきたらせ西より汝をあつむべし
Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6 われ北にむかひて釋せといひ南にむかひて留るなかれといはん わが子輩を遠きよりきたらせ わが女らを地の極よりきたらせよ
I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 すべてわが名をもて稱へらるる者をきたらせよ 我かれらをわが榮光のために創造せり われ曩にこれを造りかつ成をはれり
everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.
8 目あれども瞽者のごとく耳あれど聾者のごとき民をたづさへ出よ
Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
9 國々はみな相集ひもろもろの民はあつまるべし 彼等のうち誰かいやさきに成るべきことをつげ之をわれらに聞することを得んや その證人をいだして己の是なるをあらはすべし 彼等ききて此はまことなりといはん
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 ヱホバ宣給くなんぢらはわが證人わがえらみし僕なり 然ばなんぢら知てわれを信じわが主なるをさとりうべし 我よりまへにつくられし神なく我よりのちにもあることなからん
Ye are my witnesses, says Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me.
11 ただ我のみ我はヱホバなり われの外にすくふ者あることなし
I, even I, am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.
12 われ前につげまた救をほどこし また此事をきかせたり 汝等のうちには他神なかりき なんぢらはわが證人なり 我は神なり これヱホバ宣給るなり
I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore ye are my witnesses, says Jehovah, and I am God.
13 今よりわれは主なりわが手より救ひいだし得るものなし われ行はば誰かとどむることを得んや
Yea, since the day was I am he, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?
14 なんぢらを贖ふものイスラエルの聖者ヱホバかく言たまふ なんぢらの爲にわれ人をバビロンにつかはし彼處にあるカルデヤ人をことごとく下らせ その宴樂の船にのりてのがれしむ
Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15 われはヱホバなんぢらの聖者イスラエルを創造せしもの又なんぢらの王なり
I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 ヱホバは海のなかに大路をまうけ大なる水のなかに徑をつくり
Thus says Jehovah, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17 戰車および馬 軍兵 武士をいできたらせ ことごとく仆れて起ることあたはず 皆ほろびて燈火のきえうするが如くならしめ給へり
who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together; they shall not rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as a wick):
18 ヱホバ言給く なんぢら往昔のことを思ひいづるなかれ また上古のことをかんがふるなかれ
Do not remember ye the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19 視よわれ新しき事をなさん頓ておこるべし なんぢら知ざるべけんや われ荒野に道をまうけ沙漠に河をつくらん
Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 野の獸われを崇むべし 野犬および駝鳥もまた然り われ水を荒野にいだし河を沙漠にまうけてわが民わがえらびたる者にのましむべければなり
The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 この民はわが頌美をのべしめんとて我おのれのために造れるなり
the people whom I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
22 然るにヤコブよ汝われを呼たのまざりき イスラエルよ汝われを厭ひたり
Yet thou have not called upon me, O Jacob, but thou have been weary of me, O Israel.
23 なんぢ燔祭のひつじを我にもちきたらず犠牲をもて我をあがめざりき われ汝にそなへものの荷をおはせざりき また乳香をもて汝をわづらはせざりき
Thou have not brought me from thy sheep for burnt offerings, nor have thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
24 なんぢは銀貨をもて我がために菖蒲をかはず 犠牲のあぶらをもて我をあかしめず 反てなんぢの罪の荷をわれに負せ なんぢの邪曲にて我をわづらはせたり
Thou have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices. But thou have burdened me with thy sins. Thou have wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 われこそ我みづからの故によりてなんぢの咎をけし汝のつみを心にとめざるなれ
I, even I, am he who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 なんぢその是なるをあらはさんがために己が事をのべて我に記念せしめよ われら相共にあげつらふべし
Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set thou forth thy case that thou may be justified.
27 なんぢの遠祖つみををかし汝のをしへの師われにそむけり
Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 この故にわれ聖所の長たちを汚さしめヤコブを詛はしめイスラエルをののしらしめん
Therefore I will profane the rulers of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.
