イザヤ書 5
1 われわが愛する者のために歌をつくり 我があいするものの葡萄園のことをうたはん わが愛するものは土肥たる山にひとつの葡萄園をもてり
I will sing now for my beloved, the song of my dear one touching his vineyard. A vineyard had my beloved on a rich hill-top;
2 彼その園をすきかへし石をのぞきて嘉ぶだうをうゑ そのなかに望樓をたて酒榨をほりて嘉葡萄のむすぶを望みまてり 然るに結びたるものは野葡萄なりき
And he fenced it in, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in its midst, and also a winepress he hewed out therein: and he hoped that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth worthless fruit.
3 さればヱルサレムに住るものとユダの人よ 請なんぢら我とわがぶだうぞのとの間をさばけ
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 わが葡萄園にわれの作たるほか何のなすべき事ありや 我はよきぶだうの結ぶをのぞみまちしに 何なれば野葡萄をむすびしや
What more was to be done to my vineyard, that I had not done in it? Why then did I hope that it should bring forth grapes, while it brought forth worthless fruit?
5 然ばわれわが葡萄園になさんとすることを汝等につげん 我はぶだうぞのの籬芭をとりさりてその食あらさるるにまかせ その垣をこぼちてその踐あらさるるにまかせん
And now I will let you know also what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten off; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down;
6 我これを荒してふたたび剪ことをせず耕すことをせず棘と荊とをはえいでしめん また雲に命せてそのうへに雨ふることなからしめん
And I will lay it quite waste; it shall not be pruned, nor hoed around; and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; and the clouds will I command that they send down no rain upon it.
7 それ萬軍のヱホバの葡萄園はイスラエルの家なり その喜びたまふところの植物はユダの人なり これに公平をのぞみたまひしに反りて血をながし これに正義をのぞみ給ひしにかへりて號呼あり
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he hoped for justice, but behold injustice; for equity, but behold iniquity.
8 禍ひなるかな彼らは家に家をたてつらね 田圃に田圃をましくはへて 餘地をあまさず 己ひとり國のうちに住んとす
Woe unto those that cause house to join on house, bring field near to field, till there is no more room, so that ye may be left alone as the inhabitants in the midst of the land!
9 萬軍のヱホバ我耳につげて宣はく 實におほくの家はあれすたれ大にして美しき家は人のすむことなきにいたらん
In my ears [spoke] the Lord of hosts, Truly many houses shall become desolate, yea, great and beautiful ones without an inhabitant.
10 十段のぶだうぞの僅かに一バテをみのり一ホメルの穀種はわづかに一エパを實るべし
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield [but] one bath, and a chomer-seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
11 禍ひなるかなかれらは朝つとにおきて濃酒をおひもとめ 夜のふくるまで止まりてのみ 酒にその身をやかるるなり
Woe unto those that rise up early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink; that continue until late in the twilight, till wine inflame them!
12 かれらの酒宴には琴あり 瑟あり 鼓あり 笛あり 葡萄酒あり されどヱホバの作爲をかへりみずその手のなしたまふところに目をとめず
And there are harp and psaltery, tambourine and flute, and wine at their drinking-feasts; but the deeds of the Lord they regard not, and the works of his hands they behold not.
13 斯るが故にわが民は無知にして虜にせられ その貴顯者はうゑ そのもろもろの民は渇によりて疲れはてん
Therefore are my people led into exile, for want of knowledge: and their honorable men suffer of famine, and their multitude are panting with thirst.
Therefore hath the deep enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and there descend [Jerusalem's] glory, and her multitude, and her noise, and whoever rejoiced therein. (Sheol h7585)
15 賤しき者はかがめられ 貴きものは卑くせられ 目をあげて高ぶる者はひくくせらるべし
And bent down shall be the son of earth, and humbled shall be the man, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled;
16 されど萬軍のヱホバは公平によりてあがめられ 聖なる神は正義によりて聖とせられ給ふべし
And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified by [displaying his] righteousness.
17 而して小羊おのが牧場にあるごとくに草をはみ 豐かなるものの田はあれて旅客にくらはれん
Then shall the sheep feed according to their wont, and the ruins of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.
18 禍ひなるかな彼等はいつはりを繩となして惡をひき 索にて車をひくごとく罪をひけり
Woe unto those that draw iniquity with the cords of falsehood, and as with a wagon-rope, sinfulness;
19 かれらは云 その成んとする事をいそぎて速かになせ 我儕これを見ん イスラエルの聖者のさだむることを逼來らせよ われらこれを知んと
That say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let draw nigh and come the counsel of the Holy One of Israel, that we may know it!
20 禍ひなるかな かれらは惡をよびて善とし善をよびて惡とし 暗をもて光とし光をもて暗とし 苦をもて甘とし甘をもて苦とする者なり
Woe unto those that say of the evil it is good, and of the good it is evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 わざはひなる哉 かれらは己をみて智しとし自らかへりみて聰とする者なり
Woe unto those that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 禍ひなるかな かれらは葡萄酒をのむに丈夫なり 濃酒を和するに勇者なり
Woe unto those that are heroes to drink wine, and men of might to mingle strong drink;
23 かれらは賄賂によりて惡きものを義となし 義人よりその義をうばふ
Who justify the wicked in lieu of a bribe, and who deprive the righteous of their right!
24 此によりて火舌の刈株をくらふがごとく また枯草の火焰のなかにおつるがごとく その根はくちはてその花は塵のごとくに飛さらん かれらは萬軍のヱホバの律法をすててイスラエルの聖者のことばを蔑したればなり
Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and dry hay sinketh before the flame: so shall their root be as rotten things, and their blossom shall fly up as the dust; because they have despised the law of the Lord of hosts, and the word of the Holy One of Israel they have rejected.
25 この故にヱホバその民にむかひて怒をはなち 手をのべてかれらを撃たまへり 山はふるひうごきかれらの屍は衢のなかにて糞土のごとくなれり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手を伸したまふ
For this cause is kindled the anger of the Lord against his people, and he stretcheth forth his hand against them, and he smiteth them; and the mountains tremble, and their carcasses lie like sweepings in the midst of the streets: with all this his anger is not turned away, but still is his hand stretched out.
26 かくて旗をたててとほき國々をまねき彼等をよびて地の極より來らしめたまはん 視よかれら趨りて速かにきたるべし
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will call for one of them from the end of the earth; and, behold, with speed, swiftly, it cometh;
27 その中には疲れたふるるものなく眠りまたは寢るものなし その腰の帶はとけずその履の紐はきれず
There is none weary, nor stumbling among its men; it slumbereth not, it sleepeth not; not loosened is the girdle of its loins, not broken is the latchet of its shoes;
28 その矢は鋭その弓はことごとく張り その馬のひづめは石のごとくその車の輪は疾風のごとしと稱へられん
Whose arrows are sharpened, and all whose bows are bent; its horses hoofs are hard like the flint, and its wheels like the whirlwind;
29 その嘷ること獅のごとく また小獅のごとく嘷うなりつつ獲物をつかみて掠去れども之をすくふ者なし
It hath a roar like the lioness, it roareth like the young lions: yea, it growleth, and layeth hold of the prey, and carrieth it safely off, with none to deliver.
30 その日かれらが嘯響めくこと海のなりどよめくがごとし もし地をのぞまば暗と難とありて光は黑雲のなかにくらくなりたるを見ん
And it will rage against them on that day like with the raging of the sea: and if one look unto the earth, behold, there is darkness, oppression, and the light is darkened through the darkness of its clouds.
