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 that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;

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 from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!

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 desolation [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

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall 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 Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand 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 will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will 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 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 altogether 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 found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel 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 stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high 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 saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant [man: ]

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 people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

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

Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it up, [or] as if the staff should lift up [itself, as if it were] no 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 shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a 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 shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.

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

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 such as 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

The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

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 Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow 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 the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

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 GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall 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 cease, and mine anger in 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 a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon 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 be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

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 to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

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 passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul 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

Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O 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 removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

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

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] 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 bough with terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

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.
