イザヤ書 7
1 ウジャの子ヨタムその子ユダヤ王アハズのときアラムの王レヂンとレマリヤの子イスラエル王ペカと上りきたりてヱルサレムを攻しがつひに勝ことあたはざりき
And it happened in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, ascended to Jerusalem to battle against it. But they were not able to defeat it.
2 ここにアラムとエフライムと結合なりたりとダビデの家につぐる者ありければ王のこころと民の心とは林木の風にうごかさるるが如くに動けり
And they reported to the house of David, saying: “Syria has withdrawn to Ephraim.” And his heart was shaken, with the heart of his people, just as the trees of the forest are moved by the face of the wind.
3 その時ヱホバ、イザヤに言たまひけるは今なんぢと汝の子シヤルヤシユブと共にいでて布をさらす野の大路のかたはらなる上池の樋口にゆきてアハズを迎へ
And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son, Jashub, who was left behind, to the end of the aqueduct, at the upper pool, on the road to the fuller’s field.
4 これに告べしなんぢ謹みて静かなれ アラムのレヂン及びレマリャの子はげしく怒るとも二の燼餘りたる煙れる片柴のごとし懼るるなかれ心をよわくするなかれ
And you shall say to him: “See to it that you are silent. Do not be afraid. And have no dread in your heart over the two tails of these firebrands, nearly extinguished, which are the wrath of the fury of Rezin, king of Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.”
5 アラム、エフライム及びレマリヤの子なんぢにむかひて惡き謀ごとを企てていふ
For Syria has undertaken a plan against you, with the evil of Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
6 われらユダに攻上りて之をおびやかし我儕のためにこれを破りとりタビエルの子をその中にたてて王とせんと
“Let us ascend to Judah, and stir it up, and tear it away for ourselves, and appoint the son of Tabeel as a king in its midst.”
7 されど主ヱホバいひたまはくこの事おこなはれずまた成ことなし
Thus says the Lord God: This shall not stand, and this shall not be.
8 アラムの首はダマスコ、ダマスコの首はレヂンなり エフライムは六十五年のうちに敗れて國をなさざるべし
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years from now, Ephraim will cease to be a people.
9 またエフライムの首はサマリヤ、サマリヤの首はレマリヤの子なり 若なんぢら信ぜずばかならず立ことを得じと
For the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you will not continue.
10 ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
And the Lord spoke further to Ahaz, saying:
Ask for a sign for yourself from the Lord your God, from the depths below, even to the heights above. (Sheol h7585)
12 アハズいひけるは我これを求めじ 我はヱホバを試むることをせざるべし
And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, for I will not tempt the Lord.”
13 イザヤいひけるはダビデのいへよ請なんぢら聞 なんぢら人をわづらはしこれを小事として亦わが神をも煩はさんとするか
And he said: “Then listen, O house of David. Is it such a small thing for you to trouble men, that you must also trouble my God?
14 この故に主みづから一の豫兆をなんぢらに賜ふべし 視よをとめ孕みて子をうまんその名をインマヌエルと稱ふべし
For this reason, the Lord himself will grant to you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive, and she will give birth to a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
15 かれ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知 ころほひにいたりて乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらはん
He will eat butter and honey, so that he may know to reject evil and to choose good.
16 そはこの子いまだ惡をすて善をえらぶことを知ざるさきになんぢが忌きらふ兩の王の地はすてらるべし
But even before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the land that you detest will be abandoned by the face of her two kings.
17 ヱホバはエフライムがユダを離れし時よりこのかた臨みしことなき日を汝となんぢの民となんぢの父の家とにのぞませ給はん是アツスリヤの王なり
The Lord will lead over you, and over your people, and over the house of your father, such days as have not occurred since the days of the separation of Ephraim from Judah by the king of the Assyrians.
18 其日ヱホバ、エジプトなる河々のほとりの蠅をまねきアツスリヤの地の蜂をよびたまはん
And this shall be in that day: the Lord will call for the fly, which is in the most distant parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the swarm, which is in the land of Assur.
19 皆きたりて荒たるたに岩穴すべての荊棘すべての牧場のうヘに止まるべし
And they will arrive, and they all will rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the caverns of the rocks, and in every thicket, and in every opening.
20 その日主はかはの外ふより雇へるアツスリヤの王を剃刀として首と足の毛とを剃たまはんまた髯をも除きたまふべし
In that day, the Lord will shave with a razor the ones hired by those who are across the river, by the king of the Assyrians, from the head to the hairs of the feet, with the entire beard.
21 その日人わかき牝犢ひとつと羊ふたつとを飼をらん
And this shall be in that day: a man will raise a cow among oxen, and two sheep,
22 その出すところの乳おほきによりて乳酥をくらふことを得んすべて國のうちに遺れるものは乳酥と蜂蜜とをくらふべし
and, instead of an abundance of milk, he will eat butter. For all who are left behind in the midst of the land will eat butter and honey.
23 その日千株に銀一千の價をえたる葡萄ありし處もことごとく荊と棘はえいづべし
And this shall be in that day: every place, where there were a thousand grapevines worth a thousand pieces of silver, will become thorns and briers.
24 荊とおどろと地にあまねきがゆゑに人々矢と弓とをもて彼處にゆくなり
They will enter such places with arrows and bows. For briers and thorns will be throughout the entire land.
25 鋤をもて掘たがへしたる山々もいばらと棘のために人おそれてその中にゆくことを得じ その地はただ牛をはなち羊にふましむる處とならん
But as for all the mountains, which will be dug with a hoe, the terror of thorns and briers will not approach those places. And there will be pasture land for oxen, and a range for cattle.”
