< イザヤ書 50 >
1 ヱホバかくいひ給ふ わがなんぢらの母をさりたる離書はいづこにありや 我いづれの債主になんぢらを賣わたししや 視よなんぢらはその不義のために賣られ なんぢらの母は汝らの咎戻のために去られたり
Thus said YHWH: “Where [is] this—the bill of your mother’s divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions Your mother has been sent away.
2 わがきたりし時なにゆゑ一人もをらざりしや 我よびしとき何故ひとりも答ふるものなかりしや わが手みぢかくして贖ひえざるか われ救ふべき力なからんや 視よわれ叱咤すれば海はかれ河はあれのとなりそのなかの魚は水なきによりかわき死て臭氣をいだすなり
Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Has My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stink, for there is no water, And die with thirst.
I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And I make their covering sackcloth.”
4 主ヱホバは敎をうけしものの舌をわれにあたへ言をもて疲れたるものを扶支ふることを知得しめたまふ また朝ごとに醒しわが耳をさまして敎をうけし者のごとく聞ことを得しめたまふ
Lord YHWH has given to Me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens [My] ear to hear as taught ones.
5 主ヱホバわが耳をひらき給へり われは逆ふことをせず退くことをせざりき
Lord YHWH opened My ear, And I did not rebel—I did not move backward.
6 われを撻つものにわが背をまかせわが鬚をぬくものにわが頬をまかせ 恥と唾とをさくるために面をおほふことをせざりき
I have given My back to those striking, And My cheeks to those plucking out, I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
7 主ヱホバわれを助けたまはん この故にわれ恥ることなかるべし 我わが面を石の如くして恥しめらるることなきを知る
And Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set My face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
8 われを義とするもの近きにあり たれか我とあらそはんや われら相共にたつべし わが仇はたれぞや近づききたれ
Near [is] He who is justifying Me, Who contends with Me? We stand together, who [is] My opponent? Let him come near to Me.
9 主ヱホバわれを助け給はん 誰かわれを罪せんや 視よかれらはみな衣のごとくふるび蠧のためにくひつくされん
Behold, Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Who [is] he that declares Me wicked? Behold, all of them wear out as a garment, A moth eats them.
10 汝等のうちヱホバをおそれその僕の聲をきくものは誰ぞや 暗をあゆみて光をえざるともヱホバの名をたのみおのれの神にたよれ
“Who [is] among you, fearing YHWH, Listening to the voice of His Servant, That has walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the Name of YHWH, And lean on his God.
11 火をおこし火把を帶るものよ汝等みなその火のほのほのなかをあゆめ 又なんぢらの燃したる火把のなかをあゆめ なんぢら斯のごとき事をわが手よりうけて悲みのうちに臥べし
Behold, all you kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have caused to burn, This has been to you from My hand, You lie down in grief!”
