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 unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;

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 will take unto Me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'

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 went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD unto me: 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hashbaz.

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 child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'

5 ヱホバまた重て我につげたまへり云く

And the LORD spoke unto me yet again, 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

Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;

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

Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over 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 shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy 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

Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

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

Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; 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 spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk 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

'Say ye not: A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.

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

The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.

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 He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare 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 many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'

16 證詞をつかね律法をわが弟子のうちに封べし

'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction 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, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for 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 the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in 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 when they shall say unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto 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

for instruction and for testimony?' — Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no 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 they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces 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

or look unto the earth, behold distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and outspread thick darkness.
