< イザヤ書 61 >
1 主ヱホバの靈われに臨めり こはヱホバわれに膏をそそぎて貧きものに福音をのべ傳ふることをゆだね 我をつかはして心の傷める者をいやし俘囚にゆるしをつげ 縛められたるものに解放をつげ
The Ruach of 'Adonay Yahweh [Spirit, Breath of Lord He sustains breathing] is on me; because Adonai has anointed me to preach good news to the poor and humble. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to let out into the light those bound in the dark, and to restore the crushed with forgiveness;
2 ヱホバのめぐみの年とわれらの神の刑罰の日とを告しめ 又すべて哀むものをなぐさめ
to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3 灰にかへ冠をたまひてシオンの中のかなしむ者にあたへ 悲哀にかへて歡喜のあぶらを予へ うれひの心にかへて讃美の衣をかたへしめたまふなり かれらは義の樹 ヱホバの植たまふ者 その榮光をあらはす者ととなへられん
to provide for those who mourn in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of tehilah ·praise song· for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Adonai, that he may be glorified.
4 彼等はひさしく荒たる處をつくろひ 上古より廢れたる處をおこし 荒たる邑々をかされて新にし世々すたれたる處をふたたび建べし
They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the places long devastated. They will repair the ruined cities, that have been devastated for many generations.
5 外人はたちてなんぢらの群をかひ 異邦人はなんぢらの畑をたがへす者となり 葡萄をつくる者とならん
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
6 然どなんぢらはヱホバの祭司ととなへられ われらの神の役者とよばれ もろもろの國の富をくらひ かれらの榮をえて自らほこるべし
But you will be called Adonai’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their kavod ·weighty glory·.
7 曩にうけし恥にかへ倍して賞賜をうけ凌辱にかへ嗣業をえて樂むべし 而してその地にありて倍したる賞賜をたもち永遠によろこびを得ん
Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land, they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
8 われヱホバは公平をこのみ邪曲なるかすめごとをにくみ 眞實をもて彼等にむくいをあたへ 彼等ととこしへの契約をたつべければなり
“For I, Adonai, 'ahav ·affectionately love· mishpat ·justice·. I hate robbery for burnt offerings. I will give them their reward in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them.
9 かれらの裔はもろもろの國のなかに知れ かれらの子輩はもろもろの民のなかに知れん すべてこれを見るものはそのヱホバの祝したまへる裔なるを辨ふべし
Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Adonai has blessed.”
10 われヱホバを大によろこび わが靈魂はわが神をたのしまん そは我にすくひの衣をきせ義の外服をまとはせて 新郎が冠をいただき新婦が玉こがねの飾をつくるが如くなしたまへばなり
I will greatly rejoice in Adonai! My soul will be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of yesha' ·salvation·. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 地は芽をいだし畑はまけるものを生ずるがごとく 主ヱホバは義と譽とをもろもろの國のまへに生ぜしめ給ふべし
For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up; so 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will cause righteousness and tehilah ·praise song· to spring up before all the nations.
