イザヤ書 56

1 ヱホバ如此いひ給ふ なんぢら公平をまもり正義をおこなふべし わが救のきたるはちかく わが義のあらはるるは近ければなり

Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed.

2 安息日をまもりて汚さず その手をおさへて惡きことをなさず 斯おこなふ人かく堅くまもる人の子はさいはひなり

Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.

3 ヱホバにつらなれる異邦人はいふなかれ ヱホバ必ず我をその民より分ち給はんと 寺人もまたいふなかれ われは枯たる樹なりと

And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree.

4 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ わが安息日をまもり わが悦ぶことをえらみて我が契約を堅くまもる寺人には

For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall hold fast my covenant:

5 我わが家のうちにてわが垣のうちにて子にも女にもまさる記念のしるしと名とをあたへ 並とこしへの名をたまふて絶ることなからしめん

I will give to them in my house, and within my walls, a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish.

6 またヱホバにつらなりこれに事へ ヱホバの名を愛しその僕となり 安息日をまもりて汚すことなく凡てわが契約をかたくまもる異邦人は

And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant:

7 我これをわが聖山にきたらせ わが祈の家のうちにて樂ましめん かれらの燔祭と犠牲とはわが祭壇のうへに納めらるべし わが家はすべての民のいのりの家ととなへらるべければなり

I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.

8 イスラエルの放逐れたるものを集めたまふ主ヱホバのたまはく 我さらに人をあつめて旣にあつめられたる者にくはへん

The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.

9 野獸よみなきたりてくらへ 林にをるけものよ皆きたりてくらへ

All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.

10 斥候はみな瞽者にしてしることなし みな唖なる犬にして吠ることあたはず みな夢みるもの臥ゐるもの眠ることをこのむ者なり

His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.

11 この犬はむさぼること甚だしくして飽ことをしらず かれらは悟ることを得ざる牧者にして皆おのが道にむかひゆき 何れにをる者もおのおの己の利をおもふ

And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.

12 かれら互にいふ請われ酒をたづさへきたらん われら濃酒にのみあかん かくて明日もなほ今日のごとく大にみち足はせんと

Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.
