< イザヤ書 6 >
1 ウジヤ王のしにたる年われ高くあがれる御座にヱホバの坐し給ふを見しにその衣裾は殿にみちたり
In the year that king Uzziah died, I also saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 セラピムその上にたつ おのおの六の翼ありその二をもて面をおほひその二をもて足をおほひ其二をもて飛翔り
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 たがひに呼いひけるは聖なるかな聖なるかな聖なるかな萬軍のヱホバその榮光は全地にみつ
One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory."
4 斯よばはる者の聲によりて閾のもとゐ揺うごき家のうちに煙みちたり
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 このとき我いへり禍ひなるかな我ほろびなん我はけがれたる唇の民のなかにすみて穢たるくちびるの者なるにわが眼ばんぐんのヱホバにまします王を見まつればなりと
Then I said, "Woe is me. For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
6 爰にかのセラピムのひとり鉗をもて壇の上よりとりたる熱炭を手にたづさへて我にとびきたり
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 わが口に觸ていひけるは視よこの火なんぢの唇にふれたれば既になんぢの惡はのぞかれなんぢの罪はきよめられたりと
He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Look, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sins forgiven."
8 我またヱホバの聲をきく曰くわれ誰をつかはさん誰かわれらのために往べきかとそのとき我いひけるはわれ此にあり我をつかはしたまヘ
I heard the LORD's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me."
9 ヱホバいひたまはく往てこの民にかくのごとく告よなんぢら聞てきけよ然どさとらざるべし見てみよ然どしらざるべしと
And he said, "Go, and tell this people, 'In hearing you hear, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not perceive.'
10 なんぢこの民のこころを鈍くしその耳をものうくしその眼をおほヘ 恐らくは彼らその眼にて見その耳にてききその心にてさとり翻ヘりて醫さるることあらん
The heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears sluggish, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them."
11 ここに我いひけるは主よいつまで如此あらんか 主こたヘたまはく邑はあれすたれて住むものなく家に人なく邦ことごとく荒土となり
Then I said, "LORD, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
12 人々ヱホバに遠方までうつされ廢りたるところ國中におほくならん時まで如此あるべし
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 そのなかに十分の一のこる者あれども此もまた呑つくされん されど聖裔のこりてこの地の根となるべし彼のテレビントまたは橿樹がきらるることありともその根ののこるがごとし
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled. The holy seed is its stock."
