< イザヤ書 66 >
1 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 天はわが位地はわが足臺なり なんぢら我がために如何なる家をたてんとするか 又いかなる處かわが休憩の場とならん
Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What manner of house will ye build to me, and what place shall be my rest?
2 ヱホバ宣給く 我手はあらゆる此等のものを造りてこれらの物ことごとく成れり 我はただ苦しみまた心をいため我がことばを畏れをののくものを顧みるなりと
For all these things my hand has made, and all these things came to be, says Jehovah. But to this man I will look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3 牛をほふるものは人をころす者のごとく 羔を犠牲とするものは狗をくびりころす者のごとく 祭物をささぐるものは豕の血をささぐる者のごとく 香をたくものは偶像をほむる者のごとし 彼等はおのが途をえらみその心ににくむべき者をたのしみとせり
He who slaughters an ox is as he who kills a man. He who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck. He who offers an oblation, as swine's blood. He who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 我もまた災禍をえらびて彼等にあたへ その懼るるところの事を彼らに臨ましめん そは我よびしとき應ふるものなく我かたりしとき聽ことをせざりき わが目にあしき事をおこなひわが好まざる事をえらみたればなり
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them. Because when I called, none answered. When I spoke, they did not hear. But they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.
5 なんぢらヱホバの言をおそれをののく者よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらの兄弟なんぢらを憎みなんぢらをわが名のために逐出していふ 願くはヱホバその榮光をあらはして我儕になんぢらの歡喜を見せしめよと 然どかれらは恥をうけん
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye who tremble at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, Let Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy. But it is those who shall be put to shame.
6 騒亂るこゑ邑よりきこえ聲ありて宮よりきこゆ 此はヱホバその仇にむくいをなしたまふ聲なり
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah who renders recompense to his enemies.
7 シオンは產のなやみを知ざるさきに生 その劬勞きたらざるさきに男子をうみいだせり
Before she travailed, she brought forth. Before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.
8 誰がかかる事をききしや誰がかかる類をみしや 一の國はただ一日のくるしみにて成べけんや 一つの國民は一時にうまるべけんや 然どシオンはくるしむ間もなく直にその子輩をうめり
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
9 ヱホバ言給く われ產にのぞましめしに何でうまざらしめんや なんぢの神いひたまはく 我はうましむる者なるにいかで胎をとざさんや
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says Jehovah. Shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says thy God.
10 ヱルサレムを愛するものよ皆かれとともに喜べ かれの故をもてたのしめ 彼のために悲めるものよ皆かれとともに喜びたのしめ
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all ye who mourn over her,
11 そはなんぢら乳をすふ如くヱルサレムの安慰をうけて飽ことを得ん また乳をしぼるごとくその豐なる榮をうけておのづから心さわやかならん
that ye may nurse and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations, that ye may get milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 視よわれ河のごとく彼に平康をあたへ 漲ぎる流のごとく彼にもろもろの國の榮をあたへん 而して汝等これをすひ背におはれ膝におかれて樂しむべし
For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.
13 母のその子をなぐさむるごとく我もなんぢらを慰めん なんぢらはヱルサレムにて安慰をうべし
As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 なんぢら見て心よろこばん なんぢらの骨は若草のさかゆるごとくだるべし ヱホバの手はその僕等にあらはれ又その仇をはげしく怒りたまはん
And ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 視よヱホバは火中にあらはれて來りたまふその 車輦ははやちのごとし 烈しき威勢をもてその怒をもらし火のほのほをもてその譴をほどこし給はん
For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind, to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 ヱホバは火をもて劍をもてよろづの人を刑ひたまはん ヱホバに刺殺さるるもの多かるべし
For by fire Jehovah will execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh, and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
17 ヱホバ宣給く みづからを潔くしみづからを別ちて園にゆき その中にある木の像にしたがひ 豕の肉けがれたる物および鼠をくらふ者はみな共にたえうせん
Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, says Jehovah.
18 我かれらの作爲とかれらの思念とをしれり 時きたらばもろもろの國民ともろもろの族とをあつめん 彼等きたりてわが榮光をみるべし
For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
19 我かれらのなかに一つの休徴をたてて逃れたる者をもろもろの國すなはちタルシシよく弓をひくブル、ルデおよびトバル、ヤワン又わが聲名をきかずわが榮光をみざる遙かなる諸島につかはさん 彼等はわが榮光をもろもろの國にのべつたふべし
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 ヱホバいひ給ふ かれらはイスラエルの子輩がきよき器にそなへものをもりてヱホバの家にたづさへきたるが如く なんぢらの兄弟をもろもろの國の中よりたづさへて馬 車 轎 騾 駱駝にのらしめ わが聖山ヱルサレムにきたらせてヱホバの祭物とすべし
And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an oblation to Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the sons of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
21 ヱホバいひ給ふ 我また彼等のうちより人をえらびて祭司としレビ人とせんと
And of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.
22 ヱホバ宣給く わが造らんとする新しき天とあたらしき地とわが前にながくとどまる如く なんちの裔となんぢの名はながくとどまらん
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 ヱホバいひ給ふ新月ごとに安息日ごとによろづの人わが前にきたりて崇拜をなさん
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says Jehovah.
24 かれら出てわれに逆きたる人の屍をみん その蛆しなずその火きえず よろづの人にいみきらはるべし
And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me. For their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.
