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 Jehovah: Keep ye justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon 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
Happy the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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 stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated 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 Jehovah concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And 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
To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
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
The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And 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
Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a 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
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
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
Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to devour!
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 know nothing; They are all dumb dogs, that cannot bark, Dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber;
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
Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
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 on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
