< 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
This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?
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
Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, 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
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted 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
So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight 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
You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will 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
Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!
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 was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
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 of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
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 a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your 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
Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all 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
so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.
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 this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her 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 a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over 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
When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to 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, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury 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 and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.
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 consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
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
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and 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
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim 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 will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
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 I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.
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 just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.
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
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
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
“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
