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
The LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I 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 my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he 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 kills 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 offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, 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 on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t 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 LORD’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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 the LORD that repays 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 travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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 a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, 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 to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says the LORD. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut 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
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you 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 you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, 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 the LORD says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on 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 one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will 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
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. The LORD’s hand will be known amongst 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, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots will 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 the LORD will execute judgement by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by the LORD will 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, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says 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
“For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will 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 set a sign amongst them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory amongst 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
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the LORD’s house.
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
Of them I will also select 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 as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says the LORD, “so your offspring and your name shall 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
It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh 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
“They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
