イザヤ書 7
1 ウジヤの子ヨタムその子ユダヤ王アハズのとき アラムの王レヂンとレマリヤの子イスラエル王ペカと上りきたりてヱルサレムを攻しがつひに勝ことあたはざりき
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 ここにアラムとエフライムと結合なりたりとダビデの家につぐる者ありければ 王のこころと民の心とは林木の風にうごかさるるが如くに動けり
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.
3 その時ヱホバ、イザヤに言たまひけるは今なんぢと汝の子シヤルヤシユブと共にいでて布をさらす野の大路のかたはらなる上池の樋口にゆきてアハズを迎へ
Then said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, —unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller’s field;
4 これに告べし なんぢ 謹みて靜かなれ アラムのレヂン及びレマリヤの子はげしく怒るとも二の燼餘りたる煙れる片柴のごとし 懼るるなかれ心をよわくするなかれ
and say unto him—Take heed and keep thyself calm—do not fear, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two fag-ends of smoking firebrands, —in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah.
5 アラム、エフライム及びレマリヤの子なんぢにむかひて惡き謀ごとを企てていふ
Because Syria, hath taken counsel against thee, for mischief, —[with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
6 われらユダに攻上りて之をおびやかし我儕のためにこれを破りとり タビエルの子をその中にたてて王とせんと
Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and break it open, for ourselves, —and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal,
7 されど主ヱホバいひたまはく この事おこなはれずまた成ことなし
Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —It shall not stand Neither shall it come to pass!
8 アラムの首はダマスコ、ダマスコの首はレヂンなり エフライムは六十五年のうちに敗れて國をなさざるべし
For, though the head of Syria is Damascus, And, the head of Damascus, is Rezin, Yet within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken that it shall not be a people;
9 またエフライムの首はサマリヤ、サマリヤの首はレマリヤの子なり 若なんぢら信ぜずばかならず立ことを得じと
Even though the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely, ye cannot be trusted!
10 ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
And again spake Yahweh unto Ahaz saying—
Ask thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God, —Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high! (Sheol h7585)
12 アハズいひけるは我これを求めじ 我はヱホバを試むることをせざるべし
But Ahaz said, —I will not ask Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.
13 イザヤいひけるは ダビデのいへよ請なんぢら聞 なんぢら人をわづらはしこれを小事として亦わが神をも煩はさんとするか
Then said he—Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?
14 この故に主みづから一の豫兆をなんぢらに賜ふべし 視よをとめ孕みて子をうまん その名をインマヌエルと稱ふべし
Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign, —Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.
15 かれ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ころほひにいたりて乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらはん
Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good;
16 そはこの子いまだ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ざるさきになんぢが忌きらふ兩の王の地はすてらるべし
for before the boy knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.
17 ヱホバはエフライムがユダを離れし時よりこのかた臨みしことなき日を汝となんぢの民となんぢの父の家とにのぞませ給はん是アツスリヤの王なり
Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, —even the king of Assyria.
18 其日ヱホバ、エジプトなる河々のほとりの蠅をまねきアツスリヤの地の蜂をよびたまはん
And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal—To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 皆きたりて荒たるたに岩穴すべての荊棘すべての牧場のうへに止まるべし
And they shall all of them come and settle down—In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, —And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures,
20 その日主はかはの外ふより雇へるアツスリヤの王を剃刀として首と足の毛とを剃たまはん また髯をも除きたまふべし
In that day, will My Lord shave, with a hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, —yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.
21 その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep.
22 その出すところの乳おほきによりて乳酥をくらふことを得ん すべて國のうちに遺れるものは乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらふべし
Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, —for, curds and honey, shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.
23 その日千株に銀一千の價をえたる葡萄ありし處もことごとく荊と棘はえいづべし
And it shall some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, —yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.
24 荊とおどろと地にあまねきがゆゑに人々矢と弓とをもて彼處にゆくなり
With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, —for briars and thorns, shall be all the land.
25 鋤をもて掘たがへしたる山々もいばらと棘のために人おそれてその中にゆくことを得じ その地はただ牛をはなち羊にふましむる處とならん
But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, —there shall not come thither, the fear of briars and thorns, —but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.
