イザヤ書 2
1 アモツの子イザヤがユダとエルサレムについて示された言葉。
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 終りの日に次のことが起る。主の家の山は、もろもろの山のかしらとして堅く立ち、もろもろの峰よりも高くそびえ、すべて国はこれに流れてき、
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3 多くの民は来て言う、「さあ、われわれは主の山に登り、ヤコブの神の家へ行こう。彼はその道をわれわれに教えられる、われわれはその道に歩もう」と。律法はシオンから出、主の言葉はエルサレムから出るからである。
And many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 彼はもろもろの国のあいだにさばきを行い、多くの民のために仲裁に立たれる。こうして彼らはそのつるぎを打ちかえて、すきとし、そのやりを打ちかえて、かまとし、国は国にむかって、つるぎをあげず、彼らはもはや戦いのことを学ばない。
He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 ヤコブの家よ、さあ、われわれは主の光に歩もう。
House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 あなたはあなたの民ヤコブの家を捨てられた。これは彼らが東の国からの占い師をもって満たし、ペリシテびとのように占い者となり、外国人と同盟を結んだからである。
For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
7 彼らの国には金銀が満ち、その財宝は限りない。また彼らの国には馬が満ち、その戦車も限りない。
Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 また彼らの国には偶像が満ち、彼らはその手のわざを拝み、その指で作ったものを拝む。
Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 こうして人はかがめられ、人々は低くされる。どうか彼らをおゆるしにならぬように。
So people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.
10 あなたは岩の間にはいり、ちりの中にかくれて、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避けよ。
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 その日には目をあげて高ぶる者は低くせられ、おごる人はかがめられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
The proud looks of humankind will be brought low, and the arrogance of people will be brought down; and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 これは、万軍の主の一日があって、すべて誇る者と高ぶる者、すべておのれを高くする者と得意な者とに臨むからである。
For there will be a day of the LORD of hosts for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up and high; and it shall be brought low:
13 またレバノンの高くそびえるすべての香柏、バシャンのすべてのかしの木、
For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14 またすべての高い山々、すべてのそびえ立つ峰々、
For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15 すべての高きやぐら、すべての堅固な城壁、
For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16 タルシシのすべての船、すべての麗しい船舶に臨む。
For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17 その日には高ぶる者はかがめられ、おごる人は低くせられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 こうして偶像はことごとく滅びうせる。
The idols shall utterly pass away.
19 主が立って地を脅かされるとき、人々は岩のほら穴にはいり、また地の穴にはいって、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 その日、人々は拝むためにみずから造ったしろがねの偶像と、こがねの偶像とを、もぐらもちと、こうもりに投げ与え、
In that day, people will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold to the rodents and to the bats, which have been made for themselves to worship;
21 岩のほら穴や、がけの裂け目にはいり、主が立って地を脅かされるとき、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 あなたがたは鼻から息の出入りする人に、たよることをやめよ、このような者はなんの価値があろうか。
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
