< 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 Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
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 the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
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 appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, 'Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah — to be beautified.'
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
And they have built the wastes of old, The desolations of the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
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
And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.
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
And ye are called 'Priests of Jehovah,' 'Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.
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 and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for 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 [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a covenant age-during I make for 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
And known among nations hath been their seed, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah hath 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 greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on 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 bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
