Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
今くるしみを受れども後には闇なかるべし 昔しはゼブルンの地ナフタリの地をあなどられしめ給ひしかど後には海にそひたる地ヨルダンの外の地ことくに人のガリラヤに榮をうけしめ給へり
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
幽暗をあゆめる民は大なる光をみ死蔭の地にすめる者のうへに光てらせり
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
なんぢ民をましその歡喜を大にしたまひければかれらは收穫時によろこぶがごとく掠物をわかつときに樂むがごとく汝の前によろこべり
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
そは汝かれらがおへる軌とその肩の笞と虐ぐるものの杖とを折りこれを折りてミデアンの日のごとくなし給ひたればなり
5 For all the armour of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
すべて亂れたたかふ兵士のよろひと血にまみれたる衣とはみな火のもえくさとなりて焚るべし
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
ひとりの嬰兒われらのために生れたり我儕はひとりの子をあたヘられたり政事はその肩にありその名は奇妙また議士また大能の神とこしへのちち平和の君ととなヘられん
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
その政事と平和とはましくははりて窮りなし且ダビデの位にすわりてその國ををさめ今よりのちとこしへに公平と正義とをもてとれを立これを保ちたまはん 萬軍のヱホバの熱心これを成たまふべし
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
主一言をヤコブにおくり之をイスラエルの上にのぞませ給へり
9 And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,
すべてのこの民エフライムとサマリヤに居るものとは知ならん かれらは高ぶり誇る心をもていふ
10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
瓦くづるるともわれら研石をもて建 くはの木きらるるともわれら香柏をもて之にかヘんと
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir up his enemies;
この故にヱホバ、レヂンの敵をあげもちゐてイスラエルを攻しめその仇をたけび勇しめたまはん
12 the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
前にアラム人あり後にペシリテ人あり口をはりてイスラエルを呑んとす 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
13 Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.
然どこの民はおのれをうつものに歸らず萬軍のヱホバを求めず
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
斯るゆゑにヱホバ一日のうちに首と尾と椶櫚のえだと葦とをイスラエルより斷切たまはん
15 The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
その首とは老たるもの尊きものその尾とは謊言をのぶる預言者をいふなり
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
この民をみちびく者はこれを迷はせその引導をうくる者はほろぶるなり
17 Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
このゆゑに主はその少壯者をよろこびたまはずその孤兒と寡婦とを憐みたまはざるべし 是その民はことごとく邪まなり惡をおこなふ者なり おのおのの口は愚かなる言をかたればなり 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
惡は火のごとくもえ棘と荊とを食つくし茂りあふ林をやくべければみな煙となりむらがりて上騰らん
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up: the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
萬軍のヱホバの怒によりて地はくろく焼 その民は火のもえくさとなり人々たがひに相憐むことなし
20 And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
人みぎに攫めどもなほ飢ひだりに食へども尚あかず おのおのその腕の肉をくらふべし
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
マナセはエフライムをエフライムはマナセをくらひ又かれら相合てユダをを攻めん 然はあれどヱホバの怒やまずして尚その手をのばしたまふ
