イザヤ書 45
1 われヱホバわが受膏者クロスの右手をとりてもろもろの國をそのまへに降らしめ もろもろの王の腰をとき扉をその前にひらかせて門をとづるものなからしめん
Thus says Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him. And I will loose the loins of kings to open the doors before him. And the gates shall not be shut.
2 われ汝のまへにゆきて崎嶇をたひらかにし 銅の門をこぼち くろがねの關木をたちきるべし
I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth. I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut apart the bars of iron.
3 われなんぢに暗ところの財貨とひそかなるところに藏せるたからとを予へ なんぢに我はヱホバなんぢの名をよべるイスラエルの神なるを知しめん
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
4 わが僕ヤコブわが撰みたるイスラエルのために我なんぢの名をよべり 汝われを知ずといへどわれ名をなんぢに賜ひたり
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name. I have surnamed thee, though thou have not known me.
5 われはヱホバなり 我のほかに神なし 一人もなし 汝われをしらずといへども我なんぢを固うせん
I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou have not known me,
6 而して日のいづるところより西のかたまで人々我のほかに神なしと知べし 我はヱホバなり他にひとりもなし
that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
7 われは光をつくり又くらきを創造す われは平和をつくりまた禍害をさうざうす 我はヱホバなり 我すべてこれらの事をなすなり
I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah who does all these things.
8 天ようへより滴らすべし 雲よ義をふらすべし 地はひらけて救を生じ義をもともに萌いだすべし われヱホバ之を創造せり
Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together. I, Jehovah, have created it.
9 世人はすゑものの中のひとつの陶器なるに己をつくれる者とあらそふはわざはひなるかな 泥塊はすゑものつくりにむかひて汝なにを作るかといふべけんや 又なんぢの造りたる者なんぢを手なしといふべけんや
Woe to him who strives with his maker, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What are thou making? or thy work, He has no hands?
10 父にむかひて汝なにゆゑに生むことをせしやといひ 婦にむかひて汝なにゆゑに產のくるしみをなししやといふ者はわざはひなるかな
Woe to him who says to a father, What are thou begetting? or to a woman, With what are thou travailing?
11 ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者イスラエルを造れるもの如此いひたまふ 後きたらんとすることを我にとへ またわが子女とわが手の工とにつきて汝等われに言せよ
Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel and his maker: Ask me of the things that are to come concerning my sons. And command ye me concerning the work of my hands.
12 われ地をつくりてそのうへに人を創造せり われ自らの手をもて天をのべ その萬象をさだめたり
I have made the earth, and created man upon it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded.
13 われ義をもて彼のクロスを起せり われそのすべての道をなほくせん 彼はわが邑をたてわが俘囚を價のためならず報のためならずして釋すべし これ萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, says Jehovah of hosts.
14 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ エジプトがはたらきて得しものとエテオピアがあきなひて得しものとはなんぢの有とならん また身のたけ高きセバ人きたりくだりて汝にしたがひ繩につながれて降り なんぢのまへに伏しなんぢに祈りていはん まことに神はなんぢの中にいませり このほかに神なし一人もなしと
Thus says Jehovah: The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine. They shall go after thee. In chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee. They shall make supplication to thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, no God.
15 救をほどこし給ふイスラエルの神よ まことに汝はかくれています神なり
Verily thou are a God who hides thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 偶像をつくる者はみな恥をいだき辱かしめをうけ諸共にはぢあわてて退かん
They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them. They shall go into confusion together who are makers of idols.
17 されどイスラエルはヱホバにすくはれて永遠の救をえん なんぢらは世々かぎりなく恥をいだかず辱かしめをうけじ
But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.
18 ヱホバは天を創造したまへる者にしてすなはち神なり また地をもつくり成てこれを堅くし徒然にこれを創造し給はず これを人の住所につくり給へり ヱホバかく宣給ふ われはヱホバなり我のほかに神あることなしと
For thus says Jehovah who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
19 われは隱れたるところ地のくらき所にてかたらず 我はヤコブの裔になんぢらが我をたづぬるは徒然なりといはず 我ヱホバはただしき事をかたり直きことを告ぐ
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I, Jehovah, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
20 汝等もろもろの國より脱れきたれる者よ つどひあつまり共にすすみききたれ 木の像をになひ救ふことあたはざる神にいのりするものは無智なるなり
Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 なんぢらその道理をもちきたりて述よ また共にはかれ 此事をたれか上古より示したりや 誰かむかしより告たりしや 此はわれヱホバならずや 我のほかに神あることなし われは義をおこなひ救をほどこす神にして我のほかに神あることなし
Declare ye, and bring it forth. Yea, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, Jehovah? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is none besides me.
22 地の極なるもろもろの人よ なんぢら我をあふぎのぞめ然ばすくはれん われは神にして他に神なければなり
Look to me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.
23 われは己をさして誓ひたり この言はただしき口よりいでたれば反ることなし すべての膝はわがまへに屈み すべての舌はわれに誓をたてん
By myself I have sworn, the word has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess to God.
24 人われに就ていはん正義と力とはヱホバにのみありと 人々ヱホバにきたらん すべてヱホバにむかひて怒るものは恥をいだくべし
Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength. Even to him men shall come, and all those who were incensed against him shall be put to shame.
25 イスラエルの裔はヱホバによりて義とせられ且ほこらん
In Jehovah all the seed of Israel shall be justified, and shall glory.
