イザヤ書 14
1 ヱホバ、ヤコブを憐みイスラエルをふたたび撰びて之をおのれの地におきたまはん異邦人これに加りてヤコブの家にむすびつらなるべし
Her time is near at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose out of Israel, and will make them rest upon their own ground: and the stranger shall be joined with them, and shall adhere to the house of Jacob.
2 もろもろの民はかれらをその處にたづさへいたらん而してイスラエルの家はヱホバの地にてこれを奴婢となし曩におのれを虜にしたるものを虜にしおのれを虐げたるものを治めん
And the people shall take them, and bring them into their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall make them captives that had taken them, and shall subdue their oppressors.
3 ヱホバなんぢの憂と艱難とをのぞき亦なんぢが勤むるからき役をのぞきて安息をたまふの日
And it shall come to pass in that day, that when God shall give thee rest from thy labour, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage, wherewith thou didst serve before,
4 なんぢこの歌をとなヘバビロン王をせめていはん虐ぐる者いかにして息みしや金をはたる者いかにして息みしやと
Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath ceased?
5 ヱホバあしきものの笞ともろもろの有司の杖とををりたまへり
The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,
6 かれらは怒をもてもろもろの民をたえず撃てはうち忿恚をもてもろもろの國ををさむれどその暴虐をとどむる者なかりき
That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
7 今は全地やすみを得おだやかを得ことごとく聲をあげてうたふ
The whole earth is quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.
8 實にまつの樹およびレバノンの香柏さへもなんぢの故により歡びていふ汝すでに仆たれば樵夫のぼりきたりてわれらを攻ることなしと
The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.
Hell below was in an uproar to meet thee at thy coming, it stirred up the giants for thee. All the princes of the earth are risen up from their thrones, all the princes of nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 かれらは皆なんぢに告ていはん汝もわれらのごとく弱くなりしや汝もわれらと同じくなりしやと
All shall answer, and say to thee: Thou also art wounded as well as we, thou art become like unto us.
Thy pride is brought down to hell, thy carcass is fallen down: under thee shall the moth be strewed, and worms shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 あしたの子明星よいかにして天より隕しやもろもろの國をたふしし者よいかにして斫れて地にたふれしや
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
13 汝さきに心中におもへらくわれ天にのぼり我くらゐを神の星のうへにあげ北の極なる集會の山にざし
And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north.
14 たかき雲漢にのぼり至上者のごとくなるべしと
I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.
But yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, into the depth of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 なんぢを見るものは熟々なんぢを視なんぢに目をとめていはんこの人は地をふるはせ列國をうごかし
They that shall see thee, shall turn toward thee, and behold thee. Is this the man that troubled the earth, that shook kingdoms,
17 世を荒野のごとくしもろもろの邑をこぼち捕へたるものをその家にときかへさざりしものなるかと
That made the world a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the prison to his prisoners?
18 もろもろの國の王たちはことごとく皆たふとき状にておのおのその家にねぶる
All the kings of the nations have all of them slept in glory, every one in his own house.
19 然どなんぢは忌きらふべき枝のごとくおのが墓のそとにすてられその周圍には劍にて刺ころされ坑におろされ石におほはれたる者ありて踐つけらるる屍にことならず
But thou art cast out of thy grave, as an unprofitable branch defiled, and wrapped up among them that were slain by the sword, and art gone down to the bottom of the pit, as a rotten carcass.
20 汝おのれの國をほろぼしおのれの民をころししが故にかれらとおなじく葬らるることあたはずそれ惡をおこなふものの裔はとこしへに名をよばるることなかるべし
Thou shalt not keep company with them, even in burial: for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people: the seed of the wicked shall not be named for ever.
21 先祖のよこしまの故をもてその子孫のために戮場をそなへ彼等をしてたちて地をとり世界のおもてに邑をみたすことなからしめよ
Prepare his children for slaughter for the iniquity of their fathers: they shall not rise up, nor inherit the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 萬軍のヱホバのたまはく我立てかれらを攻めバビロンよりその名と遺りたるものとを絶滅しその子その孫をたちほろぼさんとこれヱホバの聖言なり
And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remains, and the bud, and the offspring, saith the Lord.
23 われバビロンを刺蝟のすみかとし沼とし且ほろびの箒をもてこれを掃除かんとこれ萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
And I will make it a possession for the ericius and pools of waters, and I will sweep it and wear it out with a besom, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 萬軍のヱホバ誓をたてて言給はくわがおもひし事はかならず成わがさだめし事はかならず立ん
The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,
25 われアツスリヤ人をわが地にてうちやぶりわが山々にてふみにじらんここにおいて彼がおきし軛はイスラエル人よりはなれ彼がおはせし重負はイスラエル人の肩よりはなるべし
So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken off their shoulder.
26 これは全地のことにつきて定めたる謀略なり是はもろもろの國のうへに伸したる手なり
This is the counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.
27 萬軍のヱホバさだめたまへり誰かこれを破ることを得んやその手をのばしたまへり誰かこれを押返すことを得んや
For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?
28 アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
In the year that king Achaz died, was this burden:
29 曰くペリシテの全地よなんぢをうちし杖をれたればとて喜ぶなかれ蛇の根より蝮いでその果はとびかける巨蛇となるべければなり
Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
30 いと貧しきものはものくひ乏しきものは安然にふさんわれ飢饉をもてなんぢの根をしなせ汝がのこれる者をころすべし
And the firstborn of the poor shall be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.
31 門よなげけ邑よさけべペリシテよなんぢの全地きえうせたりそはけぶり北よりいできたりその軍兵の列におくるるものなし
Howl, O gate; cry, O city: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.
32 その國の使者たちに何とこたふべきや答ヘていはんヱホバ、シオンの基をおきたまへりその民のなかの苦しむものは避所をこの中にえん
And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.
