イザヤ書 65
1 我はわれを求めざりしものに問もとめられ 我をたづねざりしものに見出され わが名をよばざりし國にわれ曰らく われは此にあり我はここに在と
“I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 善らぬ途をあゆみおのが思念にしたがふ悖れる民をひねもす手をのべて招けり
I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3 この民はまのあたり恒にわが怒をひき 園のうちにて犠牲をささげ 瓦の壇にて香をたき
a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
4 墓のあひだにすわり隱密なる處にやどり 猪の肉をくらひ憎むべきものの羹をその器皿にもりて
who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 人にいふなんぢ其處にたちて我にちかづくなかれ そは我なんぢよりも聖しと 彼らはわが鼻のけぶり終日もゆる火なり
who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
6 視よこの事わが前にしるされたり われ默さずして報いかへすべし 必ずかれらの懷中に報いかへすべし
“Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
7 ヱホバいひ給く なんぢらの邪曲となんぢらが列祖のよこしまとはともに報いかへすべし かれらは山上にて香をたき岡のうへにて我を汚ししがゆゑに 我まづその作をはかりてその懷中にかへすべし
your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
8 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 人ぶだうのなかに汁あるを見ばいはん これを壞るなかれ福祉その中にあればなりと 我わが僕等のために如此おこなひてことごとくは壞らじ
The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9 ヤコブより一裔をいだしユダよりわれ山々をうけつぐべき者をいださん わが撰みたる者はこれをうけつぎ我がしもべらは彼處にすむべし
I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
10 シヤロンは羊のむれの牧場となりアコルの谷はうしの群のふす所となりて我をたづねもとめたるわが民の有とならん
Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
11 然どなんぢらヱホバを棄わがきよき山をわすれ 机をガド(禍福の神)にそなへ雜合せたる酒をもりてメニ(運命の神)にささぐる者よ
“But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
12 われ汝らを劍にわたすべく定めたり なんぢらは皆かがみて屠らるべし 汝等はわが呼しときこたへず わが語りしとききかず わが目にあしき事をおこなひ わが好まざりし事をえらみたればなり
I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
13 このゆゑに主ヱホバかく言給ふ わが僕等はくらへども汝等はうゑ わが僕等はのめども汝等はかわき 我しもべらは喜べどもなんぢらははぢ
Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
14 わが僕等はこころ樂きによりて歌うたへども汝等はこころ哀きによりて叫び また靈魂うれふるによりて泣嗁ぶべし
Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
15 なんぢらが遺名はわが撰みたるものの呪詛の料とならん 主ヱホバなんぢらを殺したまはん 然どおのれの僕等をほかの名をもて呼たまふべし
You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
16 斯るがゆゑに地にありて己のために福祉をねがふものは眞實の神にむかひて福祉をもとめ 地にありて誓ふものは眞實の神をさして誓ふべし さきの困難は忘れられてわが目よりかくれ失たるに因る
so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
17 視よわれ新しき天とあたらしき地とを創造す 人さきのものを記念することなく之をその心におもひ出ることなし
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 然どなんぢらわが創造する者によりて永遠にたのしみよろこべ 視よわれはヱルサレムを造りてよろこびとしその民を快樂とす
But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
19 われヱルサレムを喜びわが民をたのしまん 而して泣聲とさけぶ聲とはふたたびその中にきこえざるべし
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
20 日數わづかにして死る嬰兒といのちの日をみたさざる老人とはその中にまたあることなかるべし 百歳にて死るものも尚わかしとせられ 百歳にて死るものを詛れたる罪人とすべし
“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21 かれら家をたてて之にすみ葡萄園をつくりてその果をくらふべし
They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 かれらが建るところにほかの人すまず かれらが造るところの果はほかの人くらはず そはわが民のいのちは樹の命の如く 我がえらみたる者はその手の工ふるびうするとも存ふべければなり
They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 かれらの勤勞はむなしからず その生ところの者はわざはひにかからず 彼等はヱホバの福祉をたまひしものの裔にしてその子輩もあひ共にをる可ればなり
They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.
24 かれらが呼ざるさきにわれこたへ 彼らが語りをへざるに我きかん
It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 豺狼とこひつじと食物をともにし 獅は牛のごとく藁をくらひ 蛇はちりを糧とすべし 斯てわが聖山のいづこにても害ふことなく傷ることなからん これヱホバの聖言なり
The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
