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 nowe thus sayeth the Lord, that created thee, O Iaakob: and hee that formed thee, O Israel, Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name, thou art 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 passest through the waters, I wil be with thee, and through the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle vpon 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 the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Sauiour: I gaue Egypt for thy ransome, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.

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

Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honourable, and I loued thee, therefore will I giue man for thee, and people for thy sake.

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

Feare not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seede 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, Giue: and to the South, Keepe not backe: bring my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the ends 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

Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.

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

I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.

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 people be assembled: who among them can declare this and shewe vs former things? let them bring foorth their witnesses, that they may be iustified: but let them heare, 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

You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my seruant, whom I haue chosen: therefore yee shall knowe and beleeue me and yee shall vnderstand that I am: before me there was no God formed, neither 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, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.

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 haue declared, and I haue saued, and I haue shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, sayeth the Lord, that 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, before the day was, I am, and there is none that can deliuer out of mine hand: I will doe it, and who shall let 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 sayeth the Lord your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes.

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 the Lord 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 sayeth the Lord which maketh 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

When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shall not rise: they are extinct, and quenched as towe.

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

Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.

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 do a new thing: now shall it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse.

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 wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect.

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

This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth 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

And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied 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 hast not brought me the sheepe of thy burnt offrings, neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I haue not caused thee to serue with an offring, nor wearied thee with incense.

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 boughtest mee no sweete sauour with money, neither hast thou made mee drunke with the fatte of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made mee to serue with thy sinnes, and wearied mee 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, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.

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 vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.

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 hath sinned, and thy teachers haue 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 haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.
