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
In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went 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
David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the 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 the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on 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
Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of 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, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, 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’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
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
This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
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 the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so 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
The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
10 ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
“Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (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 won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.”
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
He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
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
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall 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
He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil 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 child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
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
The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that 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
It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for 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
They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all 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 the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
21 その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
It shall happen 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
It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within 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
It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
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
People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
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
All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
