イザヤ書 48
1 ヤコブの家よなんぢら之をきけ 汝らはイスラエルの名をもて稱へられ ユダの根源よりいでヱホバの名によりて誓ひイスラエルの神をかたりつぐれども 眞實をもてせず正義をもてせざるなり
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 かれらはみづから聖京のものととなへイスラエルの神によりたのめり その名は萬軍のヱホバといふ
For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
3 われ今よりさきに成しことを旣にいにしへより告たり われ口よりいだして旣にのべつたへたり 我にはかにこの事をおこなひ而して成ぬ
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 われ汝がかたくなにして項の筋はくろがねその額はあかがねなるを知れり
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 このゆゑに我はやくよりかの事をなんぢにつげ その成ざるさきに之をなんぢに聞しめたり 恐くはなんぢ云ん わが偶像これを成せり刻みたるざう鑄たる像これを命じたりと
I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 なんぢ旣にきけり 凡てこれを視よ 汝ら之をのべつたへざるか われ今より新なる事なんぢが未だしらざりし秘事をなんぢに示さん
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7 これらの事はいま創造せられしにて上古よりありしにあらず この日よりさきに汝これを聞ざりき 然らずば汝いはん視よわれこれを知れりと
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8 汝これを聞こともなく知こともなく なんぢの耳はいにしへより開けざりき 我なんぢが欺きあざむきて生れながら悖逆者ととなへられしを知ればなり
Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9 わが名のゆゑによりて我いかりを遲くせん わが頌美のゆゑにより我しのびてなんぢを絶滅すことをせじ
For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I restrain it for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 視よわれなんぢを煉たり されど白銀の如くせずして患難の爐をもてこころみたり
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 われ己のため我おのれの爲にこれを成ん われ何でわが名をけがさしむべき 我わが榮光をほかの者にあたることをせじ
For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
12 ヤコブよわが召たるイスラエルよ われにきけ われは是なり われは始また終なり
Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 わが手は地のもとゐを置わが右の手は天をのべたり 我よべば彼等はもろともに立なり
My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 汝ら皆あつまりてきけ ヱホバの愛するものヱホバの好みたまふ所をバビロンに成し その腎はカルデヤ人のうへにのぞまん 彼等のうち誰かこれらの事をのべつげしや
All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 ただ我のみ我かたれり 我かれをめし我かれをきたらせたり その道さかゆべし
I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 なんぢら我にちかよりて之をきけ 我はじめより之をひそかに語りしにあらず その成しときより我はかしこに在り いま主ヱホバわれとその靈とをつかはしたまへり
Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 なんぢの贖主イスラエルの聖者ヱホバかく言給く われはなんぢの神ヱホバなり 我なんぢに益することを敎へ なんぢを導きてそのゆくべき道にゆかしむ
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 願くはなんぢわが命令にききしたがはんことを もし然らばなんぢの平安は河のごとく 汝の義はうみの波のごとく
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 なんぢの裔はすなのごとく 汝の體よりいづる者は細沙のごとくになりて その名はわがまへより絶るることなく亡さるることなからん
Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 なんぢらバビロンより出てカルデヤ人よりのがれよ なんらぢ歡の聲をもてのべきかせ地のはてにいたるまで語りつたへ ヱホバはその僕ヤコブをあがなひ給へりといへ
Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 ヱホバかれらをして沙漠をゆかしめ給へるとき彼等はかわきたることなかりき ヱホバ彼等のために磐より水をながれしめ また磐をさきたまへば水ほどばしりいでたり
And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 ヱホバいひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなし
There is no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
