イザヤ書 63
1 このエドムよりきたり緋衣をきてボヅラよりきたる者はたれぞ その服飾はなやかに大なる能力をもて嚴しく歩みきたる者はたれぞ これは義をもてかたり大にすくひをほどこす我なり
Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgement.
2 なんぢの服飾はなにゆゑに赤くなんぢの衣はなにゆゑに酒榨をふむ者とひとしきや
Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
3 我はひとりにて酒榨をふめり もろもろの民のなかに我とともにする者なし われ怒によりて彼等をふみ忿恚によりてかれらを蹈にじりたれば かれらの血わが衣にそそぎわが服飾をことごとく汚したり
I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.
4 そは刑罰の日わが心の中にあり 救贖の歳すでにきたれり
For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
5 われ見てたすくる者なく扶る者なきを奇しめり この故にわが臂われをすくひ我いきどほり我をささへたり
And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew near.
6 われ怒によりてもろもろの民をふみおさへ 忿恚によりてかれらを酔しめ かれらの血を地に流れしめたり
And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
7 われはヱホバのわれらに施したまへる各種のめぐみとその譽とをかたりつげ 又その憐憫にしたがひ其おほくの恩惠にしたがひてイスラエルの家にほどこし給ひたる大なる恩寵をかたり告ん
I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.
8 ヱホバいひたまへり 誠にかれらはわが民なり 虚僞をせざる子輩なりと 斯てヱホバはかれらのために救主となりたまへり
And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
9 かれらの艱難のときはヱホバもなやみ給ひてその面前の使をもて彼等をすくひ その愛とその憐憫とによりて彼等をあがなひ彼等をもたげ昔時の日つねに彼等をいだきたまへり
out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 然るにかれらは悖りてその聖靈をうれへしめたる故にヱホバ翻然かれらの仇となりて自らこれを攻たまへり
But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
11 爰にその民いにしへのモーセの日をおもひいでて曰けるは かれらとその群の牧者とを海より携へあげし者はいづこにありや 彼等のなかに聖靈をおきしものは何處にありや
Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?
12 榮光のかひなをモーセの右にゆかしめ 彼等のまへに水をさきて自らとこしへの名をつくり
who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 彼等をみちびきて馬の野をはしるがごとく躓かで淵をすぎしめたりし者はいづこに在りや
He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
14 谷にくだる家畜の如くにヱホバの靈かれらをいこはせ給へり 主よなんぢは斯おのれの民をみちびきて榮光の名をつくり給へり
and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
15 ねがはくは天より俯觀なはし その榮光あるきよき居所より見たまへ なんぢの熱心となんぢの大能あるみわざとは今いづこにありや なんぢの切なる仁慈と憐憫とはおさへられて我にあらはれず
Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?
16 汝はわれらの父なり アブラハムわれらを知ず イスラエルわれらを認めず されどヱホバよ汝はわれらの父なり 上古よりなんぢの名をわれらの贖主といへり
For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.
17 ヱホバよ何故にわれらをなんぢの道より離れまどはしめ我儕のこころを頑固にして汝を畏れざらしめたまふや 願くはなんぢの僕等のためになんぢの產業なる支派のために歸りたまへ
Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,
18 汝のきよきたみ地をえて久しからざるにわれらの敵なんぢの聖所をふみにじれり
that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.
19 我儕はなんぢに上古より治められざる者のごとく なんぢの名をもて稱られざる者のごとくなりぬ
We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
