< 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 that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and elevated, and his train 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
Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
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 cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy [is] the LORD 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 posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house 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 said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD 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 one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off 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 laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
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
Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, 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 tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and 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 fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, 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, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities shall be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be 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
And the LORD shall have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking in the midst of 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
But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves]: [so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance of it.
