イザヤ書 6
1 ウジヤ王のしにたる年われ高くあがれる御座にヱホバの坐し給ふを見しにその衣裾は殿にみちたり
In the year in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 セラピムその上にたつ おのおの六の翼あり その二をもて面をおほひ その二をもて足をおほひ 其二をもて飛翔り
Around him stood seraphs; each one of them had six wings; with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3 たがひに呼いひけるは聖なるかな聖なるかな聖なるかな萬軍のヱホバ その榮光は全地にみつ
And one called to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; The whole earth is full of his glory.
4 斯よばはる者の聲によりて閾のもとゐ搖うごき家のうちに煙みちたり
And the foundations of the thresholds were shaken with the voice of their cry. And the temple was filled with smoke.
5 このとき我いへり 禍ひなるかな我ほろびなん 我はけがれたる唇の民のなかにすみて穢たるくちびるの者なるに わが眼ばんぐんのヱホバにまします王を見まつればなりと
Then I said, Alas for me! I am undone! For I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, and mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
6 爰にかのセラピムのひとり鉗をもて壇の上よりとりたる熱炭を手にたづさへて我にとびきたり
Then flew one of the seraphs to me, having in his hands a glowing stone, which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
7 わが口に觸ていひけるは 視よこの火なんぢの唇にふれたれば旣になんぢの惡はのぞかれ なんぢの罪はきよめられたりと
And he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this toucheth thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is expiated.
8 我またヱホバの聲をきく曰く われ誰をつかはさん誰かわれらのために往べきかと そのとき我いひけるはわれ此にあり我をつかはしたまへ
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said: Behold, here am I; send me!
9 ヱホバいひたまはく往てこの民にかくのごとく告よ なんぢら聞てきけよ然どさとらざるべし 見てみよ然どしらざるべしと
And he said: Go, and say thou to this people, Hear ye, indeed, but understand not; See ye, indeed, but perceive not!
10 なんぢこの民のこころを鈍くしその耳をものうくし その眼をおほへ 恐らくは彼らその眼にて見その耳にてきき その心にてさとり翻へりて醫さるることあらん
Make the heart of this people gross; Make their ears dull, and blind their eyes; That they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, Nor perceive with their hearts, and turn, and be healed.
11 ここに我いひけるは 主よいつまで如此あらんか 主こたへたまはく 邑はあれすたれて住むものなく 家に人なく 邦ことごとく荒土となり
Then said I, How long, Lord? He said: Until the cities be laid waste, so that there be no inhabitant, And the houses, so that there be no man, And the land be left utterly desolate;
12 人々ヱホバに遠方までうつされ 廢りたるところ國中におほくならん時まで 如此あるべし
Until Jehovah have removed the men far away, And there be great desolation in the land.
13 そのなかに十分の一のこる者あれども此もまた呑つくされん されど聖裔のこりてこの地の根となるべし彼のテレビントまたは橿樹がきらるることありともその根ののこるがごとし
And though there be a tenth part remaining in it, Even this shall again be destroyed; Yet as when the terebinth and the oak are cut down, Their stem remaineth alive, So shall a holy race be the stem of the nation.
