イザヤ書 14
1 主はヤコブをあわれみ、イスラエルを再び選んで、これをおのれの地に置かれる。異邦人はこれに加わって、ヤコブの家に結びつらなり、
For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 もろもろの民は彼らを連れてその所に導いて来る。そしてイスラエルの家は、主の地で彼らを男女の奴隷とし、さきに自分たちを捕虜にした者を捕虜にし、自分たちをしえたげた者を治める。
And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 主があなたの苦労と不安とを除き、またあなたが服した苦役を除いて、安息をお与えになるとき、
And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve,
4 あなたはこのあざけりの歌をとなえ、バビロンの王をののしって言う、「あの、しえたげる者は全く絶えてしまった。あの、おごる者は全く絶えてしまった。
That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 主は悪い者のつえと、つかさびとの笏を折られた。
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 彼らは憤りをもってもろもろの民を絶えず撃っては打ち、怒りをもってもろもろの国を治めても、そのしえたげをとどめる者がなかった。
He who stroke the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders.
7 全地はやすみを得、穏やかになり、ことごとく声をあげて歌う。
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 いとすぎおよびレバノンの香柏でさえもあなたのゆえに喜んで言う、『あなたはすでに倒れたので、もはや、きこりが上ってきて、われわれを攻めることはない』。
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no tree chopper has come up against us.
Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 彼らは皆あなたに告げて言う、『あなたもまたわれわれのように弱くなった、あなたもわれわれと同じようになった』。
All they shall speak and say unto you, Are you also become weak as we? are you become like unto us?
Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
12 黎明の子、明けの明星よ、あなたは天から落ちてしまった。もろもろの国を倒した者よ、あなたは切られて地に倒れてしまった。
How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!
13 あなたはさきに心のうちに言った、『わたしは天にのぼり、わたしの王座を高く神の星の上におき、北の果なる集会の山に座し、
For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 雲のいただきにのぼり、いと高き者のようになろう』。
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 あなたを見る者はつくづくあなたを見、あなたに目をとめて言う、『この人は地を震わせ、国々を動かし、
They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 世界を荒野のようにし、その都市をこわし、捕えた者をその家に解き帰さなかった者であるのか』。
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 もろもろの国の王たちは皆尊いさまで、自分の墓に眠る。
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 しかしあなたは忌みきらわれる月足らぬ子のように墓のそとに捨てられ、つるぎで刺し殺された者でおおわれ、踏みつけられる死体のように穴の石に下る。
But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
20 あなたは自分の国を滅ぼし、自分の民を殺したために、彼らと共に葬られることはない。どうか、悪を行う者の子孫はとこしえに名を呼ばれることのないように。
You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, and slain your people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 先祖のよこしまのゆえに、その子孫のためにほふり場を備えよ。これは彼らが起って地を取り、世界のおもてに町々を満たすことのないためである」。
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 万軍の主は言われる、「わたしは立って彼らを攻め、バビロンからその名と、残れる者、その子と孫とを断ち滅ぼす、と主は言う。
For I will rise up against them, says the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, says the LORD.
23 わたしはこれをはりねずみのすみかとし、水の池とし、滅びのほうきをもって、これを払い除く、と万軍の主は言う」。
I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, says the LORD of hosts.
24 万軍の主は誓って言われる、「わたしが思ったように必ず成り、わたしが定めたように必ず立つ。
The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 わたしはアッスリヤびとをわが地で打ち破り、わが山々で彼を踏みにじる。こうして彼が置いたくびきはイスラエルびとから離れ、彼が負わせた重荷はイスラエルびとの肩から離れる」。
That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 これは全地について定められた計画である。これは国々の上に伸ばされた手である。
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 万軍の主が定められるとき、だれがそれを取り消すことができるのか。その手を伸ばされるとき、だれがそれを引きもどすことができるのか。
For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall nullify it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 アハズ王の死んだ年にこの託宣があった、
In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 「ペリシテの全地よ、あなたを打ったむちが折られたことを喜んではならない。へびの根からまむしが出、その実は飛びかけるへびとなるからだ。
Rejoice not you, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that stroke you is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30 いと貧しい者は食を得、乏しい者は安らかに伏す。しかし、わたしはききんをもってあなたの子孫を殺し、あなたの残れる者を滅ぼす。
And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill your root with famine, and he shall slay your remnant.
31 門よ、泣きわめけ。町よ、叫べ。ペリシテの全地よ、恐れのあまり消えうせよ、北から煙が来るからだ。その隊列からは、ひとりも脱落する者はない」。
Wail, O gate; cry, O city; you, whole Palestina, are dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 その国の使者たちになんと答えようか。「主はシオンの基をおかれた、その民の苦しむ者はこの中に避け所を得る」と答えよ。
What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
