< 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 cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
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
Why [art thou] red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat.
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 have trodden the wine-press alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
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 vengeance [is] in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
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] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.
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 will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength 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 will mention the loving-kindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
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
For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Savior.
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
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them 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 rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought 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 days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?
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
That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, 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
That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?
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
As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself 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
Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?
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
Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our Redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting.
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
O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thy 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
The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
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 [thine]: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
