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 vision 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, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “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 knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t 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 loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and 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
Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? 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, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
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 burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
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
The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like 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
Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like 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 Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you 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 are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
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 you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample 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 vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I can’t stand evil assemblies.
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
My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. 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 you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many 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 yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
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
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’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as 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 you are willing and obedient, you will eat 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 you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken 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 the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are 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
Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed 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
Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to 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
Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my 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
I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
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
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’
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
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with 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 the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh 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 they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
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
For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has 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 will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
