イザヤ書 33
1 わざわいなるかな、おのれ自ら滅ぼされないのに、人を滅ぼし、だれも欺かないのに人を欺く者よ。あなたが滅ぼすことをやめたとき、あなたは滅ぼされ、あなたが欺くことを終えたとき、あなたは欺かれる。
Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.
2 主よ、われわれをお恵みください、われわれはあなたを待ち望む。朝ごとに、われわれの腕となり、悩みの時に、救となってください。
O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.
3 鳴りとどろく声によって、もろもろの民は逃げ去り、あなたが立ちあがられると、もろもろの国は散らされる。
At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.
4 青虫が物を集めるようにぶんどり品は集められ、いなごのとびつどうように、人々はその上にとびつどう。
And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.
5 主は高くいらせられ、高い所に住まわれる。主はシオンに公平と正義とを満たされる。
The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.
6 また主は救と知恵と知識を豊かにして、あなたの代を堅く立てられる。主を恐れることはその宝である。
And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.
7 見よ、勇士たちは外にあって叫び、平和の使者はいたく嘆く。
See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.
8 大路は荒れすたれて、旅びとは絶え、契約は破られ、証人は軽んぜられ、人を顧みることがない。
The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.
9 地は嘆き衰え、レバノンは恥じて枯れ、シャロンは荒野のようになり、バシャンとカルメルはその葉を落す。
The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.
10 主は言われる、「今わたしは起きよう、いま立ちあがろう、いま自らを高くしよう。
Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.
11 あなたがたは、もみがらをはらみ、わらを産む。あなたがたの息は火となって、あなたがたを食いつくす。
Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
12 もろもろの民は焼かれて石灰のようになり、いばらが切られて火に燃やされたようになる」。
And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
13 あなたがた遠くにいる者よ、わたしがおこなったことを聞け。あなたがた近くにいる者よ、わが大能を知れ。
Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
14 シオンの罪びとは恐れに満たされ、おののきは神を恐れない者を捕えた。「われわれのうち、だれが焼きつくす火の中におることができよう。われわれのうち、だれがとこしえの燃える火の中におることができよう」。
The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
15 正しく歩む者、正直に語る者、しえたげて得た利をいやしめる者、手を振って、まいないを取らない者、耳をふさいで血を流す謀略を聞かない者、目を閉じて悪を見ない者、
He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
16 このような人は高い所に住み、堅い岩はそのとりでとなり、そのパンは与えられ、その水は絶えることがない。
He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
17 あなたの目は麗しく飾った王を見、遠く広い国を見る。
Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
18 あなたの心はかの恐ろしかった事を思い出す。「数を調べた者はどこにいるか。みつぎを量った者はどこにいるか。やぐらを数えた者はどこにいるか」。
Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
19 あなたはもはや高慢な民を見ない。かの民の言葉はあいまいで、聞きとりがたく、その舌はどもって、悟りがたい。
Never again will you see the cruel people, a people whose tongue has no sense for you; whose language is strange to you.
20 定めの祭の町シオンを見よ。あなたの目は平和なすまい、移されることのない幕屋エルサレムを見る。その杭はとこしえに抜かれず、その綱は、ひとすじも断たれることはない。
Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.
21 主は威厳をもってかしこにいまし、われわれのために広い川と流れのある所となり、その中には、こぐ舟も入らず、大きな船も過ぎることはない。
But there the Lord will be with us in his glory, ... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
22 主はわれわれのさばき主、主はわれわれのつかさ、主はわれわれの王であって、われわれを救われる。
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
23 あなたの船綱は解けて、帆柱のもとを結びかためることができず、帆を張ることもできない。その時多くの獲物とぶんどり品は分けられ、足なえまでも獲物を取る。
Your cords have become loose; they were not able to make strong the support of their sails, the sail was not stretched out: then the blind will take much property, the feeble-footed will make division of the goods of war.
24 そこに住む者のうちには、「わたしは病気だ」と言う者はなく、そこに住む民はその罪がゆるされる。
And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.
