イザヤ書 57
1 義者ほろぶれども心にとむる人なく 愛しみ深き人々とりさらるれども義きものの禍害のまへより取去るるなるを悟るものなし
The righteous perisheth, and no man considereth it in heart: and mercifull men are taken away, and no man vnderstandeth that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come.
2 かれは平安にいり 直きをおこなふ者はその寐床にやすめり
Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euery one that walketh before him.
3 なんぢら巫女の子 淫人また妓女の裔よ 近ききたれ
But you witches children, come hither, the seede of the adulterer and of the whore.
4 なんぢら誰にむかひて戯れをなすや 誰にむかひて口をひらき舌をのばすや なんぢらは悖逆の子輩いつはりの黨類にあらずや
On whome haue ye iested? vpon whome haue ye gaped and thrust out your tongue? are not ye rebellious children, and a false seede?
5 なんぢらは橿樹のあひだ緑りなる木々のしたに心をこがし 谷のなか岩の狹間に子をころせり
Inflamed with idoles vnder euery greene tree? and sacrificing the children in the valleys vnder the tops of the rocks?
6 なんぢは谷のなかの滑かなる石をうくべき嗣業とし これをなんぢが所有とす なんぢ亦これに灌祭をなし之にそなへものを献げたり われ之によりていかで心をなだむべしや
Thy portion is in the smooth stones of the riuer: they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delite in these?
7 なんぢは高くそびえたる山の上になんぢの床をまうけ かつ其處にのぼりゆきて犠牲をささげたり
Thou hast made thy bed vpon a very hie mountaine: thou wentest vp thither, euen thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
8 また戸および柱のうしろに汝の記念をおけり なんぢ我をはなれて他人に身をあらはし 登りゆきてその床をひろくし かれらと誓をなし 又かれらの床を愛し これがためにその所をえらびたり
Behinde the doores also and postes hast thou set vp thy remembrance: for thou hast discouered thy selfe to another then me, and wentest vp, and diddest enlarge thy bed, and make a couenant betweene thee and them, and louedst their bed in euery place where thou sawest it.
Thou wentest to the Kings with oyle, and diddest increase thine oyntments and sende thy messengers farre off, and diddest humble thy selfe vnto hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 なんぢ途のながきに疲れたれどなほ望なしといはず なんぢ力をいきかへされしによりて衰弱ざりき
Thou weariedst thy selfe in thy manifolde iourneys, yet saydest thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found life by thine hand, therefore thou wast not grieued.
11 なんぢ誰をおそれ誰のゆゑに慴きていつはりをいひ 我をおもはず亦そのことを心におかざりしや われ久しく默したれど汝かへりて我をおそれざりしにあらずや
And whome diddest thou reuerence or feare, seeing thou hast lyed vnto me, and hast not remembred me, neither set thy minde thereon? is it not because I holde my peace, and that of long time? therefore thou fearest not me.
12 我なんぢの義をつげしめさん なんぢの作はなんぢに益せじ
I will declare thy righteousnes and thy workes, and they shall not profite thee.
13 なんぢ呼るときその集めおきたるもの汝をすくへ 風はかれらを悉くあげさり 息はかれらを吹さらん 然どわれに依賴むものは地をつぎわが聖山をうべし
When thou cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together deliuer thee: but the winde shall take them all away: vanitie shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me, shall inherite the lande, and shall possesse mine holy Mountaine.
14 また人いはん 土をもり土をもりて途をそなへよ わが民のみちより躓礙をとりされと
And he shall say, Cast vp, cast vp: prepare the way: take vp the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
15 至高く至上なる永遠にすめるもの聖者となづくるもの如此いひ給ふ 我はたかき所きよき所にすみ 亦こころ碎けてへりくだる者とともにすみ 謙だるものの靈をいかし碎けたるものの心をいかす
For thus sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.
16 われ限なくは爭はじ我たえずは怒らじ 然らずば人のこころ我がまへにおとろへん わが造りたる靈はみな然らん
For I will not contende for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth, for the spirite should fayle before me: and I haue made the breath.
17 彼のむさぼりの罪により我いかりて之をうちまた面をおほひて怒りたり 然るになほ悖りて己がこころの途にゆけり
For his wicked couetousnesse I am angry with him, and haue smitten him: I hid mee and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his owne heart.
18 されど我その途をみたり 我かれを愈すべし 又かれを導きてふたたび安慰をかれとその中のかなしめる者とにかへすべし
I haue seene his wayes, and wil heale him: I wil leade him also, and restore comfort vnto him, and to those that lament him.
19 我くちびるの果をつくれり 遠きものにも近きものにも平安あれ平安あれ 我かれをいやさん 此はヱホバのみことばなり
I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him.
20 然はあれど惡者はなみだつ海のごとし 靜かなること能はずしてその水つねに濁と泥とをいだせり
But the wicked are like the raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt.
21 わが神いひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなしと
There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.
