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 saith the LORD 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 before him the two-leaved gates, 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 crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut asunder 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 mayest know that I, the LORD, who call [thee] by thy name, [am] 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 elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast 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] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God besides me: I girded thee, though thou hast 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] the LORD, 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 the LORD do 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
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD 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 that contendeth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [contend] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath 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 that saith to [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
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 saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
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 have I 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 direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD 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 saith the LORD, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come 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, [there is] 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 [art] a God that hidest 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 ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together [that 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 in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed 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 saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; 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 dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD 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 have] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up 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
Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yes, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else 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
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
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
Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
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 the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
