イザヤ書 8
1 ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは一の大なる牌をとりそのうへに平常の文字にてマヘル シャラル ハシ バズと録せ
And the Lord said to me: “Take up for yourself a large book, and with a man’s pen write in it: ‘Take away the spoils quickly; plunder swiftly.’”
2 われ信實の證者なる祭司ウリヤおよびエベレキヤの子ゼカリヤをもてその證をなさしむ
And I summoned to myself faithful witnesses: Uriah, the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
3 われ預言者の妻にちかづきしとき彼はらみて子をうみければ ヱホバ我にいひたまはく その名をマヘル シャラル ハシ バズと稱へよ
And I joined with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the Lord said to me: “Call his name: ‘Rush to take away the spoils; Hurry to be plundered.’
4 そはこの子いまだ我が父わが母とよぶことを知らざるうちにダマスコの富とサマリヤの財寳はうばはれてアツスリヤ王のまへに到るべければなり
For before the boy knows how to call to his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be taken away, in the sight of the king of the Assyrians.”
5 ヱホバまた重て我につげたまへり云く
And the Lord spoke to me further, saying:
6 この民はゆるやかに流るるシロアの水をすててレヂンとレマリヤの子とをよろこぶ
“Because this people has cast aside the waters of Shiloah, which go forth silently, and has instead chosen Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
7 此によりて主はいきほひ猛くみなぎりわたる大河の水をかれらのうヘに堰入たまはん 是はアツスリヤ王とそのもろもろの威勢とにして 百の支流にはびこりもろもろの岸をこえ
for this reason, behold, the Lord will lead over them the waters of a river, strong and plentiful: the king of the Assyrians with all his glory. And he will rise up throughout all his streams, and he will overflow all his banks.
8 ユダにながれいり溢れひろごりてその項にまで及ばん インマヌエルよそののぶる翼はあまねくなんぢの地にみちわたらん
And he will pass through Judah, inundating it, and he will cross over and arrive, even at its neck. And he will extend his wings, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.”
9 もろもろの民よさばめき騒げなんぢら摧かるべし 遠きくにぐにの者よきけ腰におびせよ汝等くだかるべし 腰に帯せよなんぢら摧かるべし
O people, gather together, and be conquered! All distant lands, listen! Be strengthened, and be conquered! Gird yourselves, and be conquered!
10 なんぢら互にはかれつひに徒勞ならん なんぢら言をいだせ遂におこなはれじ そは神われらとともに在せばなり
Undertake a plan, and it will be dissipated! Speak a word, and it will not be done! For God is with us.
11 ヱホバつよき手をもて此如われに示しこの民の路にあゆまざらんことを我にさとして言給はく
For the Lord said this to me, and he has instructed this to me with a strong hand, lest I go forth in the way of this people, saying:
12 此民のすべて叛逆ととなふるところの者をなんぢら叛逆ととなふるなかれ 彼等のおそるるところを汝等おそるるなかれ慴くなかれ
“You should not say ‘It is conspiracy!’ For all that this people speaks is a conspiracy. And you should not be frightened or alarmed with their fear.
13 なんぢらはただ萬軍のヱホバを聖としてこれを畏みこれを恐るべし
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself. Let him be your dread, and let him be your fear.
14 然らばヱホバはきよき避所となりたまはん 然どイスラエルの兩の家には躓く石となり妨ぐる磐とならん ヱルサレムの民には網罟となり機濫とならん
And so shall he be a sanctification to you. But he will be a stone of offense and a rock of scandal to the two houses of Israel, and a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 おほくの人々これによりて蹶きかつ仆れやぶれ網せられまた捕へらるべし
And very many of them will stumble and fall, and they will be broken and entangled and seized.
16 證詞をつかね律法をわが弟子のうちに封べし
Bind the testimony, seal the law, among my disciples.”
17 いま面をおほひてヤコブの家をかへりみ給はずといヘども我そのヱホバを待そのヱホバを望みまつらん
And I will wait for the Lord, who has concealed his face from the house of Jacob, and I will stand before him.
18 視よわれとヱホバが我にたまひたる子輩とはイスラエルのうちの豫兆なり奇しき標なり此はシオンの山にいます萬軍のヱホバの與へたまふ所なり
Behold: I and my children, whom the Lord has given to me as a sign and a portent, in Israel, from the Lord of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 もし人なんぢらにつげて巫女および魔術者のさえづるがごとく細語がごとき者にもとめよといはば民はおのれの神にもとむべきにあらずやいかで活者のために死者にもとむることを爲んといへ
And though they say to you, “Seek from seers and diviners,” they who hiss in their incantations, should not the people seek from their God, for the sake of the living, and not from the dead?
20 ただ律法と證詞とを求むべし彼等のいふところ此言にかなはずば晨光あらじ
And this is, moreover, for the sake of the law and the testimony. But if they do not speak according to this Word, then he will not have the morning light.
21 かれら國をヘあるきて苦みうゑん その飢るとき怒をはなち己が王おのが神をさして誼ひかつその面をうへに向ん
And he will pass by it; he will fall and become hungry. And when he is hungry, he will become angry, and he will speak evil against his king and his God, and he will lift himself upward.
22 また地をみれば艱難と幽暗とくるしみの闇とあり かれらは昏黒におひやられん
And he will gaze downward to the earth, and behold: tribulation and darkness, dissolution and distress, and a pursuing gloom. For he will not be able to fly away from its distress.
