イザヤ書 25
1 主よ、あなたはわが神、わたしはあなたをあがめ、み名をほめたたえる。あなたはさきに驚くべきみわざを行い、いにしえから定めた計画を真実をもって行われたから。
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 あなたは町を石塚とし、堅固な町を荒塚とされた。外国人のやかたは、もはや町ではなく、とこしえに建てられることはない。
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 それゆえ、強い民はあなたを尊び、あらぶる国々の町はあなたを恐れる。
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 あなたは貧しい者のとりでとなり、乏しい者の悩みのときのとりでとなり、あらしをさける避け所となり、熱さをさける陰となられた。あらぶる者の及ぼす害は、石がきを打つあらしのごとく、
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 かわいた地の熱さのようだからである。あなたは外国人の騒ぎをおさえ、雲が陰をもって熱をとどめるようにあらぶる者の歌をとどめられる。
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 万軍の主はこの山で、すべての民のために肥えたものをもって祝宴を設け、久しくたくわえたぶどう酒をもって祝宴を設けられる。すなわち髄の多い肥えたものと、よく澄んだ長くたくわえたぶどう酒をもって祝宴を設けられる。
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 また主はこの山で、すべての民のかぶっている顔おおいと、すべての国のおおっているおおい物とを破られる。
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 主はとこしえに死を滅ぼし、主なる神はすべての顔から涙をぬぐい、その民のはずかしめを全地の上から除かれる。これは主の語られたことである。
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 その日、人は言う、「見よ、これはわれわれの神である。わたしたちは彼を待ち望んだ。彼はわたしたちを救われる。これは主である。わたしたちは彼を待ち望んだ。わたしたちはその救を喜び楽しもう」と。
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 主の手はこの山にとどまり、モアブは肥だめの中に踏まれるわらのように、おのれの所で踏みにじられる。
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 彼はその中で泳ぐ物が泳ごうとして手を伸ばすように、その手を伸ばす。しかし主はその高ぶりを、その手の巧みなわざと共に低くされる。
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 その石がきの高い城郭を主は傾け倒し、地に投げうって、ちりにかえされる。
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
