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 came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it; but could not prevail against 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 it was told the house of David, saying: 'Aram is confederate with Ephraim.' And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with 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
Then said the LORD unto Isaiah: 'Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fullers' 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 say unto him: Keep calm, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, 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
Because Aram hath counselled evil against thee, Ephraim also, 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 go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;
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 saith the Lord GOD: It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
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 Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not 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
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not have faith, surely ye shall not be established.'
10 ヱホバ再びアハズに告ていひたまはく
And the LORD spoke again unto Ahaz, saying:
'Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God: ask it either in the depth, or in the height 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
But Ahaz said: 'I will not ask, neither will I try 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: 'Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?
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
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name 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
Curd and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the 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
Yea, before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou hast a horror of shall be forsaken.
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 shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.'
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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
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 shall come, and shall rest all of them in the rugged valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all brambles.
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 shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also sweep away the 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall rear a young cow, 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 it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give, he shall eat curd; for curd and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.
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 it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall even be for briers and thorns.
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
With arrows and with bow shall one come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
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
And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
