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
And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [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 you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
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—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your 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 you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your 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
Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you 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 am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, 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, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have 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
He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones 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
All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “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, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
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 [am] YHWH, 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 declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, 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
Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
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] YHWH, your Holy One, 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 said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong 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 is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
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 former things, And do not consider ancient things.
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 am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
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 beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, 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
I have formed this people for Myself, They recount 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 you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied 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
You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you 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
You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your 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 [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your 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
Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you 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
Your first father sinned, And your interpreters 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
And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
