イザヤ書 49
1 もろもろの島よ我にきけ 遠きところのもろもろの民よ耳をかたむけよ 我うまれいづるよりヱホバ我を召し われ母の胎をいづるよりヱホバわが名をかたりつげたまへり
Hear yee me, O yles, and hearken, yee people from farre. The Lord hath called me from the wombe, and made mention of my name from my mothers bellie.
2 ヱホバわが口を利劍となし我をその手のかげにかくし 我をとぎすましたる矢となして箙にをさめ給へり
And hee hath made my mouth like a sharpe sworde: vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he hid mee, and made me a chosen shafte, and hid me in his quiuer,
3 また我にいひ給はく 汝はわが僕なり わが榮光のあらはるべきイスラエルなりと
And sayd vnto me, Thou art my seruaunt, Israel, for I will be glorious in thee.
4 されど我いへり われは徒然にはたらき益なくむなしく力をつひやしぬと 然はあれど誠にわが審判はヱホバにあり わが報はわが神にあり
And I said, I haue labored in vaine: I haue spent my strength in vaine and for nothing: but my iudgement is with the Lord, and my woorke with my God.
5 ヤコブをふたたび己にかへらしめイスラエルを己のもとにあつまらせんとて 我をうまれいでしより立ておのれの僕となし給へるヱホバいひ給ふ(我はヱホバの前にたふとくせらる 又わが神はわが力となりたまへり)
And now sayeth the Lord, that formed me from the wombe to be his seruaunt, that I may bring Iaakob againe to him (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I bee glorious in the eyes of the Lord: and my God shall be my strength)
6 その聖言にいはく なんぢわが僕となりてヤコブのもろもろの支派をおこし イスラエルのうちののこりて全うせしものを歸らしむることはいと輕し 我また汝をたてて異邦人の光となし 我がすくひを地のはてにまで到らしむ
And hee sayde, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my seruaunt, to raise vp the tribes of Iaakob, and to restore the desolations of Israel: I will also giue thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou maiest bee my saluation vnto the ende of the worlde.
7 ヱホバ、イスラエルの贖主イスラエルの聖者は人にあなどらるるもの 民にいみきらはるるもの 長たちに役せらるる者にむかひて如此いひたまふ もろもろの王は見てたちもろもろの君はみて拜すべし これ信實あるヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者なんぢを選びたまへるが故なり
Thus sayeth the Lord the redeemer of Israel, and his Holie one, to him that is despised in soule, to a nation that is abhorred, to a seruaunt of rulers, Kinges shall see, and arise, and princes shall worship, because of the Lord, that is faithfull: and ye Holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.
8 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ われ惠のときに汝にこたへ救の日になんぢを助けたり われ汝をまもりて民の契約とし國をおこし荒すたれたる地をまた產業としてかれらにつがしめん
Thus sayeth the Lord, In an acceptable time haue I heard thee, and in a day of saluation haue I helped thee: and I will preserue thee, and wil giue thee for a couenant of ye people, that thou maiest raise vp the earth, and obtaine the inheritance of the desolate heritages:
9 われ縛しめられたる者にいでよといひ暗にをるものに顯れよといはん かれら途すがら食ふことをなし もろもろの禿なる山にも牧草をうべし
That thou maiest say to the prisoners, Goe foorth: and to them that are in darkenesse, Shewe your selues: they shall feede in the waies, and their pastures shall bee in all the toppes of the hilles.
10 かれらは饑ずかわかず 又やけたる砂もあつき日もうつことなし 彼等をあはれむもの之をみちびきて泉のほとりに和かにみちびき給ければなり
They shall not be hungrie, neither shall they be thirstie, neither shall the heat smite them, nor the sunne: for he that hath compassion on them, shall leade them: euen to the springs of waters shall he driue them.
11 我わがもろもろの山を路とし わが大路をたかくせん
And I will make all my mountaines, as a way, and my paths shalbe exalted.
12 視よ人々あるひは遠きよりきたり あるひは北また西よりきたらん 或はまたシニムの地よりきたるべし
Beholde, these shall come from farre: and loe, these from the North and from the West, and these from the land of Sinim.
13 天ようたへ地よよろこべ もろもろの山よ聲をはなちてうたへ ヱホバはその民をなぐさめその苦むものを憐みたまへばなり
Reioyce, O heauens: and bee ioyfull, O earth: brast foorth into praise, O mountaines: for God hath comforted his people, and will haue mercie vpon his afflicted.
14 然どシオンはいへりヱホバ我をすて主われをわすれたまへりと
But Zion saide, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 婦その乳兒をわすれて己がはらの子をあはれまざることあらんや 縦ひかれら忘るることありとも我はなんぢを忘るることなし
Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe? though they should forget, yet wil I not forget thee.
16 われ掌になんぢを彫刻めり なんぢの石垣はつねにわが前にあり
Behold, I haue grauen thee vpon the palme of mine hands: thy walles are euer in my sight.
17 なんぢの子輩はいそぎ來り なんぢを毀つもの汝をあらす者は汝より出さらん
Thy builders make haste: thy destroiers and they that made thee waste, are departed from thee.
18 なんぢ目をあげて環視せよ これらのもの皆あひあつまりて汝がもとに來るべし ヱホバ宣給く われは活なんぢ此等をみな身によそほひて飾となし 新婦の帶のごとくに之をまとふべし
Lift vp thine eies round about and behold: all these gather themselues together and come to thee: as I liue, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt surely put them all vpon thee as a garment, and girde thy selfe with them like a bride.
19 なんぢの荒かつ廢れたるところ毀たれたる地は こののち住ふもの多くして狹きをおぼえん なんぢを呑つくししもの遙にはなれ去るべし
For thy desolations, and thy waste places, and thy land destroied, shall surely be now narow for them that shall dwell in it, and they that did deuoure thee, shalbe farre away.
20 むかし別れたりしなんぢの子輩はのちの日なんぢの耳のあたりにて語りあはん云く ここは我がために狹し なんぢ外にゆきて我にすむべき所をえしめよと
The children of thy barennesse shall say againe in thine eares, The place is straict for mee: giue place to me that I may dwell.
21 その時なんぢ心裏にいはん 誰かわがために此等のものを生しや われ子をうしなひて獨居りかつ俘れ且さすらひたり 誰かこれを育てしや 視よわれ一人のこされたり 此等はいづこに居しや
Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten mee these, seeing I am baren and desolate, a captiue and a wanderer to and from? and who hath nourished them? beholde, I was left alone: whence are these?
22 主ヱホバいひたまはく 視よわれ手をもろもろの國にむかひてあげ 旗をもろもろの民にむかひてたてん 斯てかれらはその懷中になんぢの子輩をたづさへ その肩になんぢの女輩をのせきたらん
Thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will lift vp mine hande to the Gentiles and set vp my stadart to the people, and they shall bring thy sonnes in their armes: and thy daughters shall be caried vpon their shoulders.
23 もろもろの王はなんぢの養父となり その后妃はなんぢの乳母となり かれらはその面を地につけて汝にひれふし なんぢの足の塵をなめん 而して汝わがヱホバなるをしり われを俟望むものの恥をかうぶることなきを知るならん
And Kings shalbe thy nourcing fathers, and Queenes shalbe thy nources: they shall worship thee with their faces towarde the earth, and licke vp the dust of thy feete: and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that waite for me.
24 勇士がうばひたる掠物をいかでとりかへし 強暴者がかすめたる虜をいかで救いだすことを得んや
Shall the pray be taken from the mightie? or the iust captiuitie deliuered?
25 されどヱホバ如此いひたまふ云く ますらをが掠めたる虜もとりかへされ 強暴者がうばひたる掠物もすくひいださるべし そは我なんぢを攻るものをせめてなんぢの子輩をすくふべければなり
But thus sayeth the Lord, euen the captiuitie of the mightie shall be taken away: and the pray of the tyrant shall be deliuered: for I wil contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will saue thy children,
26 我なんぢを虐ぐるものにその肉をくらはせ またその血をあたらしき酒のごとくにのませて酔しめん 而して萬民はわがヱホバにして汝をすくふ者なんぢを贖ふものヤコブの全能者なることを知るべし
And will feede them that spoile thee, with their owne flesh, and they shall be drunken with their owne bloode, as with sweete wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy sauiour and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Iaakob.
