イザヤ書 1
1 アモツの子イザヤがユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤのときに示されたるユダとヱルサレムとに係る異象
The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 天よきけ地よ耳をかたぶけよ ヱホバの語りたまふ言あり 曰く われ子をやしなひ育てしにかれらは我にそむけり
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
3 牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの厩をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master's crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider.”
4 ああ罪ををかせる國人よこしまを負ふたみ 惡をなす者のすゑ 壞りそこなふ種族 かれらはヱホバをすてイスラエルの聖者をあなどり之をうとみて退きたり
Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil-doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
5 なんぢら何ぞかさねがさね悖りて猶撻れんとするか その頭はやまざる所なくその心はつかれはてたり
Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
6 足のうらより頭にいたるまで全きところなくただ創痍と打傷と腫物とのみなり 而してこれを合すものなく包むものなく亦あぶらにて軟らぐる者もなし
From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
7 なんぢらの國はあれすたれなんぢらの諸邑は火にてやかれなんぢらの田畑はその前にて外人にのまれ旣にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
8 シオンの女はぶだうぞのの廬のごとく瓜田の假舎のごとくまた圍をうけたる城のごとく唯ひとり遺れり
And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
9 萬軍のヱホバわれらに少しの遺をとどめ給ふことなくば我儕はソドムのごとく又ゴモラに同じかりしならん
Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
10 なんぢらソドムの有司よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらゴモラの民よ われらの神の律法に耳をかたぶけよ
Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
11 ヱホバ言たまはくなんぢらが獻ぐるおほくの犠牲はわれに何の益あらんや 我はをひつじの燔祭とこえたるけものの膏とにあけり われは牡牛あるひは小羊あるひは牡山羊の血をよろこばず
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
12 なんぢらは我に見えんとてきたる このことを誰がなんぢらに要めしや 徒らにわが庭をふむのみなり
When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
13 むなしき祭物をふたたび携ふることなかれ 燻物はわがにくむところ 新月および安息日また會衆をよびあつむることも我がにくむところなり なんぢらは聖會に惡を兼ぬ われ容すにたへず
Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
14 わが心はなんぢらの新月と節會とをきらふ 是わが重荷なり われ負にうみたり
Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈禱をなすときも聞ことをせじ なんぢらの手には血みちたり
When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
16 なんぢら己をあらひ己をきよくしわが眼前よりその惡業をさり 惡をおこなふことを止め
Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
17 善をおこなふことをならひ 公平をもとめ 虐げらるる者をたすけ 孤子に公平をおこなひ 寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
18 ヱホバいひたまはく 率われらともに論らはん なんぢらの罪は緋のごとくなるも雪のごとく白くなり紅のごとく赤くとも羊の毛のごとくにならん
Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美產をくらふことを得べし
If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
20 もし汝等こばみそむかば劍にのまるべし 此はヱホバその御口よりかたりたまへるなり
But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
21 忠信なりし邑いかにして妓女とはなれる 昔しは公平にてみち正義その中にやどりしに今は人をころす者ばかりとなりぬ
How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
22 なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢの葡萄酒は水をまじへ
Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
23 なんぢの長輩はそむきて盗人の伴侶となり おのおの賄賂をよろこび 贓財をおひもとめ 孤子に公平をおこなはず 寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづること能はず
Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの全能者のたまはく 唉われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
25 我また手をなんぢの上にそへ なんぢの滓をことごとく淨くし なんぢの鉛をすべて取去り
And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
26 なんぢの審士を舊のごとく なんぢの議官を始のごとくに復すべし 然るのちなんぢは正義の邑忠信の邑ととなへられん
And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 シオンは公平をもてあがなはれ 歸來るものも正義をもて贖はるべし
Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
28 されど愆ををかすものと罪人とはともに敗れ ヱホバをすつる者もまた亡びうせん
But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 なんぢらはその喜びたる橿樹によりて恥をいだき そのえらびたる園によりて慙赧むべし
For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
30 なんぢらは葉のかるる橿樹のごとく水なき園のごとくならん
And ye shall be as a terebinth-tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
31 權勢あるものは麻のごとく その工は火花のごとく 二つのもの一同もえてこれを撲滅すものなし
The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
