Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
アモツの子イザヤがユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤのときに示されたるユダとヱルサレムとに係る異象
2 Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
天よきけ地よ耳をかたぶけよ ヱホバの語りたまふ言あり 曰く われ子をやしなひ育てしにかれらは我にそむけり
3 Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.
牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの廐をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
4 O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.
ああ罪ををかせる國人よこしまを負ふたみ 惡をなす者のすゑ壞りそこなふ種族 かれらはヱホバをすてイスラエルの聖者をあなどり之をうとみて退きたり
5 Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.
なんぢら何ぞかさねがさね悖りて猶撻れんとするか その頭はやまざる所なくその心はつかれはてたり
6 The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
足のうらより頭にいたるまで全きところなくただ創痍と打傷と腫物とのみなり 而してこれを合すものなく包むものなく亦あぶらにて軟らぐる者もなし
7 Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.
なんぢらの國はあれすたれなんぢらの諸邑は火にてやかれなんぢらの田畑はその前にて外人にのまれ既にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
8 And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.
シオンの女はぶだうぞのの廬のごとく瓜田の假舎のごとくまた圍をうけたる城のごとく唯ひとり遺れり
9 If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.
萬軍のヱホバわれらに少しの遺をとどめ給ふことなくば我儕はソドムのごとく又ゴモラに同じかりしならん
10 Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
なんぢらソドムの有司よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらゴモラの民よわれらの神の律法に耳をかたぶけよ
11 What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
ヱホバ言たまはくなんぢらが獻ぐるおほくの犠牲はわれに何の益あらんや我はをひつじの燔祭とこえたるけものの膏とにあけり われは牡牛あるひは小羊あるひは牡山羊の血をよろこばず
12 At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?
なんぢらは我に見えんとてきたる このことを誰がなんぢらに要めしや 徒らにわが庭をふむのみなり
13 Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.
むなしき祭物をふたたび携ふることなかれ 燻物はわがにくむところ 新月および安息日また會衆をよびあつむることも我がにくむところなり なんぢらは聖會に惡を兼ぬ われ容すにたへず
14 Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them.
わが心はなんぢらの新月と節會とをきらふ 是わが重荷なりわれ負にうみたり
15 And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.
我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈祷をなすときも聞ことをせじ なんぢらの手には血みちたり
16 Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
なんぢら己をあらひ己をきょくしわが眼前よりその惡業をさり惡をおこなふことを止め
17 Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
善をおこなふことをならひ 公平をもとめ虐げらるる者をたすけ 孤児に公平をおこなひ寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
18 Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
ヱホバいひたまはく 率われらともに論らはん なんぢらの罪は緋のごとくなるも雪のごとく白くなり紅のごとく赤くとも羊の毛のごとくにならん
19 If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美産をくらふことを得べし
20 But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
もし汝等こばみそむかば劍にのまるべし 此はヱホバその御口よりかたりたまヘるなり
21 The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.
忠信なりし邑いかにして妓女とはなれる 昔しは公平にてみち正義その中にやどりしに今は人をころす者ばかりとなりぬ
22 Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.
なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢ葡萄酒は水をまじへ
23 Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
なんぢの長輩はそむきて盗人の伴侶となり おのおの賄賂をよろこび贈財をおひもとめ 孤児に公平をおこなはず寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづるとと能はず
24 For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;
このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの全能者のたまはく 唆われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
25 And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;
我また手をなんぢの上にそへ なんぢの滓をことごとく淨くし なんぢの鉛をすべて取去り
26 And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
なんぢの審士を舊のごとく なんぢの議官を始のごとくに復すべし 然るのちなんぢは正義の邑忠信の邑ととなへられん
27 Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.
シオンは公平をもてあがなはれ 歸來るものも正義をもて贖はるべし
28 But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
されど愆ををかすものと罪人とはともに敗れ ヱホバをすつる者もまた亡びうせん
29 For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
なんぢらはその喜びたる橿樹によりて恥をいだき そのえらびたる園によりて慙赧むべし
30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
なんぢらは葉のかるる橿樹のごとく水なき園のごとくならん
31 And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
權勢あるものは麻のごとくその工は火花のごとく 二つのもの一同もえてこれを撲滅すものなし
