イザヤ書 10

1 不義のおきてをさだめ暴虐のことばを録すものは禍ひなるかな

Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,

2 かれらは乏きものの訴をうけず わが民のなかの貧しきものの權利をはぎ寡婦の資産をうばひ孤兒のものを掠む

perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.

3 なんぢら懲しめらるる日きたらば何をなさんとするか 敗壞とほきより來らんとき何をなさんとするか なんぢら逃れゆきて誰にすくひを求めんとするか また何處になんぢらの榮をのこさんとするか

And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,

4 ただ縛められたるものの下にかがみ 殺されたるもののしたに伏仆れんのみ 然はあれどヱホバのいかり止ずして尚ほその手をのばしたまふ

that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.

5 咄アツスリヤ人なんぢはわが怒の杖なり その手の苔はわが忿恚なり

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.

6 われ彼をつかはして邪曲なる國をせめ我かれに命じて我がいかれる民をせめてその所有をかすめその財寶をうばはしめかれらを街の泥のごとくに蹂躪らしめん

I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.

7 されどアツスリヤ人のこころざしは斯のごとくならずその心の念もまた斯のごとくならずそのこころは敗壞をこのみあまたの國をほろぼし絶ん

But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.

8 かれ云わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや

And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;

9 カルノはカルケミシの如くハマテはアルパデの如くサマリヤはダマスコの如きにあらずや

then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?

10 わが手は偶像につかふる國々を得たり その彫たる像はヱルサレムおよびサマリヤのものに勝れたり

As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.

11 われ既にサマリヤとその偶像とに行へるごとく亦ヱルサレムとその偶像とにおこなはざる可んやと

For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.

12 このゆゑに主いひたまふ我シォンの山とヱルサレムとに爲んとする事をことごとく遂をはらんとき我アツスリヤ王のおごれる心の實とその高ぶり仰ぎたる眼とを罰すべし

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

13 そは彼いヘらくわれ手の力と智慧とによりて之をなせり我はかしこし國々の境をのぞきその獲たるものをうばひ又われは丈夫にしてかの位に坐するものを下したり

For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.

14 わが手もろもろの民のたからを得たりしは巣をとるが如くまた天が下を取收めたりしは遺しすてたる卵をとりあつむるが如くなりき あるひは翼をうごかしあるひは口をひらきあるひは喃々する者もなかりしなりと

And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.

15 斧はこれをもちゐて伐ものにむかひて己みづから誇ることをせんや鋸はこれを動かす者にむかひて己みづから高ぶることをせんや此はあだかも笞がおのれを擧るものを動かし杖みづから木にあらざるものを擧んとするにひとし

Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;

16 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバは肥たるものを瘠しめ且その榮光のしたに火のもゆるが如き火焰をおこし給はん

but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.

17 イスラエルの光は火のごとくその聖者はほのほの如くならん斯て一日のうちに荊とおどろとを焼ほろぼし

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.

18 又かの林と土肥たる田圃の榮をうせしめ靈魂をも身をもうせしめて病るものの衰へたるが如くなさん

In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.

19 かつ林のうちに殘れる木わづかにして童子も算へうるが如くになるべし

And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.

20 その日イスラエルの遺れる者とヤコブの家ののがれたる者とは再びおのれを撃し者にたよらず誠意をもてイスラエルの聖者ヱホバにたよらん

And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.

21 その遺れるものヤコブの遣れるものは大能の神にかヘるべし

And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.

22 ああイスラエルよなんぢの民は海の沙のごとしといへども遺りて歸りきたる者はただ僅少ならんそは敗壞すでにさだまり義にて溢るべければなり

And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.

23 主萬軍のヱホバの定めたまヘる敗壞はこれを徧く國内におこなひ給ふべし

He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.

24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバいひたまはくシオンに住るわが民よアツスリヤ人エジプトの例にならひ苔をもて汝をうち杖をあげて汝をせむるとも懼るるなかれ

Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.

25 ただ頃刻にして忿恚はやまん我がいかりは彼等をほろぼして息ん

For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.

26 萬軍のヱホバむかしミデアン人をオレブの巖のあたりにて撃たまひしごとくに禍害をおこして之をせめ又その杖を海のうへに伸しエジプトの例にしたがひてこれを擧たまはん

And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.

27 その日かれの重荷はなんぢの肩より下かれの軌はなんぢの頸よりはなれその軛はあぶらの故をもて壞れん

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.

28 かれアイにきたりミグロンを過ミクマシにてその輜重をとどめ

For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.

29 渡口をすぎてゲバに宿るここに於てラマはをののきサウルギべア人は逃れはしれり

And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.

30 ガリムの女よなんぢ聲をあげて叫べライシよ耳をかたぶけて聽けアナトテよなんぢも聲をあげよ

The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.

31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり

Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.

32 この日かれノブに立とどまりシオンのむすめの山ヱルサレムの岡にむかひて手をふりたり

Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.

33 主ばんぐんのヱホバは雄々しくたけびてその枝を斷たまはん丈高きものは伐おとされ聳えたる者はひくくせらるべし

Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:

34 また銕をもて茂りあふ林をきり給はんレバノンは能力あるものに倒さるべし

and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
