イザヤ書 10

1 不義のおきてをさだめ暴虐のことばを録すものは禍ひなるかな

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write iniquity;

2 かれらは乏きものの訴をうけず わが民のなかの貧しきものの權利をはぎ寡婦の資産をうばひ孤兒のものを掠む

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

3 なんぢら懲しめらるる日きたらば何をなさんとするか 敗壞とほきより來らんとき何をなさんとするか なんぢら逃れゆきて誰にすくひを求めんとするか また何處になんぢらの榮をのこさんとするか

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?

4 ただ縛められたるものの下にかがみ 殺されたるもののしたに伏仆れんのみ 然はあれどヱホバのいかり止ずして尚ほその手をのばしたまふ

They can do nought except crouch under the captives, and fall under the slain. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

5 咄アツスリヤ人なんぢはわが怒の杖なり その手の苔はわが忿恚なり

O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger, in whose hand as a staff is Mine indignation!

6 われ彼をつかはして邪曲なる國をせめ我かれに命じて我がいかれる民をせめてその所有をかすめその財寶をうばはしめかれらを街の泥のごとくに蹂躪らしめん

I do send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath do I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 されどアツスリヤ人のこころざしは斯のごとくならずその心の念もまた斯のごとくならずそのこころは敗壞をこのみあまたの國をほろぼし絶ん

Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

8 かれ云わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや

For he saith: 'Are not my princes all of them kings?

9 カルノはカルケミシの如くハマテはアルパデの如くサマリヤはダマスコの如きにあらずや

Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 わが手は偶像につかふる國々を得たり その彫たる像はヱルサレムおよびサマリヤのものに勝れたり

As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did exceed them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 われ既にサマリヤとその偶像とに行へるごとく亦ヱルサレムとその偶像とにおこなはざる可んやと

Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?'

12 このゆゑに主いひたまふ我シォンの山とヱルサレムとに爲んとする事をことごとく遂をはらんとき我アツスリヤ王のおごれる心の實とその高ぶり仰ぎたる眼とを罰すべし

Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.

13 そは彼いヘらくわれ手の力と智慧とによりて之をなせり我はかしこし國々の境をのぞきその獲たるものをうばひ又われは丈夫にしてかの位に坐するものを下したり

For he hath said: by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I am prudent; in that I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and have brought down as one mighty the inhabitants;

14 わが手もろもろの民のたからを得たりしは巣をとるが如くまた天が下を取收めたりしは遺しすてたる卵をとりあつむるが如くなりき あるひは翼をうごかしあるひは口をひらきあるひは喃々する者もなかりしなりと

And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.

15 斧はこれをもちゐて伐ものにむかひて己みづから誇ることをせんや鋸はこれを動かす者にむかひて己みづから高ぶることをせんや此はあだかも笞がおのれを擧るものを動かし杖みづから木にあらざるものを擧んとするにひとし

Should the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Should the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if a rod should move them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up him that is not wood.

16 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバは肥たるものを瘠しめ且その榮光のしたに火のもゆるが如き火焰をおこし給はん

Therefore will the Lord, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.

17 イスラエルの光は火のごとくその聖者はほのほの如くならん斯て一日のうちに荊とおどろとを焼ほろぼし

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.

18 又かの林と土肥たる田圃の榮をうせしめ靈魂をも身をもうせしめて病るものの衰へたるが如くなさん

And the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, he will consume both soul and body; and it shall be as when a sick man wasteth away.

19 かつ林のうちに殘れる木わづかにして童子も算へうるが如くになるべし

And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them down.

20 その日イスラエルの遺れる者とヤコブの家ののがれたる者とは再びおのれを撃し者にたよらず誠意をもてイスラエルの聖者ヱホバにたよらん

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 その遺れるものヤコブの遣れるものは大能の神にかヘるべし

A remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto God the Mighty.

22 ああイスラエルよなんぢの民は海の沙のごとしといへども遺りて歸りきたる者はただ僅少ならんそは敗壞すでにさだまり義にて溢るべければなり

For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return; an extermination is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

23 主萬軍のヱホバの定めたまヘる敗壞はこれを徧く國内におこなひ給ふべし

For an extermination wholly determined shall the Lord, the GOD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.

24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバいひたまはくシオンに住るわが民よアツスリヤ人エジプトの例にならひ苔をもて汝をうち杖をあげて汝をせむるとも懼るるなかれ

Therefore thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: O My people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 ただ頃刻にして忿恚はやまん我がいかりは彼等をほろぼして息ん

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and Mine anger shall be to their destruction.

26 萬軍のヱホバむかしミデアン人をオレブの巖のあたりにて撃たまひしごとくに禍害をおこして之をせめ又その杖を海のうへに伸しエジプトの例にしたがひてこれを擧たまはん

And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb; and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 その日かれの重荷はなんぢの肩より下かれの軌はなんぢの頸よりはなれその軛はあぶらの故をもて壞れん

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.

28 かれアイにきたりミグロンを過ミクマシにてその輜重をとどめ

He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmas he layeth up his baggage;

29 渡口をすぎてゲバに宿るここに於てラマはをののきサウルギべア人は逃れはしれり

They are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeath-shaul is fled.

30 ガリムの女よなんぢ聲をあげて叫べライシよ耳をかたぶけて聽けアナトテよなんぢも聲をあげよ

Cry thou with a shrill voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! O thou poor Anathoth!

31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり

Madmenah is in mad flight; the inhabitants of Gebim flee to cover.

32 この日かれノブに立とどまりシオンのむすめの山ヱルサレムの岡にむかひて手をふりたり

This very day shall he halt at Nob, shaking his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 主ばんぐんのヱホバは雄々しくたけびてその枝を斷たまはん丈高きものは伐おとされ聳えたる者はひくくせらるべし

Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be laid low.

34 また銕をもて茂りあふ林をきり給はんレバノンは能力あるものに倒さるべし

And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
