< イザヤ書 6 >

1 ウジヤ王のしにたる年われ高くあがれる御座にヱホバの坐し給ふを見しにその衣裾は殿にみちたり
In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
2 セラピムその上にたつ おのおの六の翼ありその二をもて面をおほひその二をもて足をおほひ其二をもて飛翔り
The Seraphim were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
3 たがひに呼いひけるは聖なるかな聖なるかな聖なるかな萬軍のヱホバその榮光は全地にみつ
And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
4 斯よばはる者の聲によりて閾のもとゐ揺うごき家のうちに煙みちたり
And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 このとき我いへり禍ひなるかな我ほろびなん我はけがれたる唇の民のなかにすみて穢たるくちびるの者なるにわが眼ばんぐんのヱホバにまします王を見まつればなりと
And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”
6 爰にかのセラピムのひとり鉗をもて壇の上よりとりたる熱炭を手にたづさへて我にとびきたり
And one of the Seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 わが口に觸ていひけるは視よこの火なんぢの唇にふれたれば既になんぢの惡はのぞかれなんぢの罪はきよめられたりと
And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”
8 我またヱホバの聲をきく曰くわれ誰をつかはさん誰かわれらのために往べきかとそのとき我いひけるはわれ此にあり我をつかはしたまヘ
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”
9 ヱホバいひたまはく往てこの民にかくのごとく告よなんぢら聞てきけよ然どさとらざるべし見てみよ然どしらざるべしと
And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’
10 なんぢこの民のこころを鈍くしその耳をものうくしその眼をおほヘ 恐らくは彼らその眼にて見その耳にてききその心にてさとり翻ヘりて醫さるることあらん
Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”
11 ここに我いひけるは主よいつまで如此あらんか 主こたヘたまはく邑はあれすたれて住むものなく家に人なく邦ことごとく荒土となり
And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”
12 人々ヱホバに遠方までうつされ廢りたるところ國中におほくならん時まで如此あるべし
For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.
13 そのなかに十分の一のこる者あれども此もまた呑つくされん されど聖裔のこりてこの地の根となるべし彼のテレビントまたは橿樹がきらるることありともその根ののこるがごとし
But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.
