イザヤ書 27
1 その日、主は堅く大いなる強いつるぎで逃げるへびレビヤタン、曲りくねるへびレビヤタンを罰し、また海におる龍を殺される。
In that day God shall bring [his] holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the dragon.
2 その日「麗しきぶどう畑よ、このことを歌え。
In that day [there shall be] a fair vineyard, [and] a desire to commence [a song] concerning it.
3 主なるわたしはこれを守り、常に水をそそぎ、夜も昼も守って、そこなう者のないようにする。
I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, and by day the wall shall fall.
4 わたしは憤らない。いばら、おどろがわたしと戦うなら、わたしは進んでこれを攻め、皆もろともに焼きつくす。
There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account the Lord has done all that he appointed.
5 それを望まないなら、わたしの保護にたよって、わたしと和らぎをなせ、わたしと和らぎをなせ」。
I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us make peace,
6 後になれば、ヤコブは根をはり、イスラエルは芽を出して花咲き、その実を全世界に満たす。
they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and the world shall be filled with his fruit.
7 主は彼らを撃った者を撃たれたように彼らを撃たれたか。あるいは彼らを殺した者が殺されたように彼らは殺されたか。
Shall he himself be thus struck, even as he struck? and as he killed, shall he be thus slain?
8 あなたは彼らと争って、彼らを追放された。主は東風の日に、その激しい風をもって彼らを移しやられた。
Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; did you not meditate with a harsh spirit, to kill them with a wrathful spirit?
9 それゆえ、ヤコブの不義はこれによって、あがなわれる。これによって結ぶ実は彼の罪を除く。すなわち彼が祭壇のすべての石を砕けた白堊のようにし、アシラ像と香の祭壇とを再び建てないことである。
Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall be cut off, as a thicket afar off.
10 堅固な町は荒れてさびしく、捨て去られたすまいは荒野のようだ。子牛はそこに草を食い、そこに伏して、その木の枝を裸にする。
The flock that lived [there] shall be left, as a deserted flock; and [the ground] shall be for a long time for pasture, and there shall flocks lie down to rest.
11 その枝が枯れると、折り取られ、女が来てそれを燃やす。これは無知の民だからである。それゆえ、彼らを造られた主は彼らをあわれまれない。彼らを形造られた主は、彼らを恵まれない。
And after a time there shall be in it no green thing because of [the grass] being parched. Come hither, you women that come from a sight; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them shall have no pity upon them, and he that formed them shall have no mercy [upon them].
12 イスラエルの人々よ、その日、主はユフラテ川からエジプトの川にいたるまで穀物の穂を打ち落される。そしてあなたがたは、ひとりびとり集められる。
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] God shall fence [men] off from the channel of the river as far as Rhinocorura; but do you gather one by one the children of Israel.
13 その日大いなるラッパが鳴りひびき、アッスリヤの地にある失われた者と、エジプトの地に追いやられた者とがきて、エルサレムの聖山で主を拝む。
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] they shall blow the great trumpet, and the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt, and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
