イザヤ書 46
1 ベルは伏しネボは屈む かれらの像はけものと家畜とのうへにあり なんぢらが擡げあるきしものは荷となりて疲れおとろへたるけものの負ところとなりぬ
Bel is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.
2 かれらは屈みかれらは共にふし その荷となれる者をすくふこと能はずして己とらはれゆく
They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.
3 ヤコブの家よイスラエルのいへの遺れるものよ 腹をいでしより我におはれ胎をいでしより我にもたげられしものよ 皆われにきくべし
Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the birth.
4 なんぢらの年老るまで我はかはらず白髮となるまで我なんぢらを負ん 我つくりたれば擡ぐべし我また負ひかつ救はん
Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer you.
5 なんぢら我をたれに比べ たれに配ひ たれに擬らへ かつ相くらぶべきか
To whom will ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?
6 人々ふくろより黄金をかたぶけいだし權衡をもて白銀をはかり金工をやとひてこれを神につくらせ之にひれふして拜む
They draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.
7 彼等はこれをもたげて肩にのせ 負ひゆきてその處に安置す すなはち立てその處をはなれず 人これにむかひて呼はれども答ふること能はず 又これをすくひて苦難のうちより出すことあたはず
They beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his tribulation.
8 なんぢら此事をおもひいでて堅くたつべし 悖逆者よこのことを心にとめよ
Remember this, and be ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.
9 汝等いにしへより以來のことをおもひいでよ われは神なり我のほかに神なし われは神なり我のごとき者なし
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing like me,
10 われは終のことを始よりつげ いまだ成ざることを昔よりつげ わが謀畧はかならず立つといひ すべて我がよろこぶことを成んといへり
Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.
11 われ東より鷲をまねき遠國よりわが定めおける人をまねかん 我このことを語りたれば必らず來らすべし 我このことを謀りたればかならず成すべし
I call a birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.
12 なんぢら心かたくなにして義にとほざかるものよ我にきけ
Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.
13 われわが義をちかづかしむ可ればその來ること遠からず わが救おそからず 我すくひをシオンにあたへ わが榮光をイスラエルにあたへん
I bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto Israel.
