Isaiah 3

1 For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;

みよ主ばんぐんのヱホバ、ヱルサレムおよびユダの頼むところ倚ところなる凡てその頼むところの糧すべてその頼むところの水

2 The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;

勇士 戰士 審士 預言者 卜筮者 長老

3 The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.

五十人の首 貴顯者 議官 藝に長たる者および言語たくみなるものを除去りたまはん

4 And I will make children their chiefs, and foolish ones will have rule over them.

われ童子をもてかれらの君とし 嬰兒にかれらを治めしめん

5 And the people will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.

民たがひに相虐げ 人おのおのその隣をしヘたげ 童子は老たる者にむかひて高ぶり 賤しきものは貴きものに對ひてたかぶらん

6 When one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:

そのとき人ちちの家にて兄弟にすがりていはん 汝なほ衣ありわれらの有司となりてこの荒敗をその手にてをさめよと

7 Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.

その日かれ聲をあげていはん 我なんぢらを愈すものとなるを得じ わが家に糧なくまた衣なし 我をたてて民の有司とすることなかれと

8 For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

是かれらの舌と行爲とはみなヱホバにそむきてその榮光の目ををかししが故に ヱルサレムは敗れユダは仆れたればなり

9 Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

かれらの面色はその惡きことの證をなし ソドムのごとくその罪をあらはして隱すことをせざるなり かれらの靈魂はわざはひなるかな自らその惡の報をとれり

10 Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways.

なんぢら義人にいへ かならず福祉をうけんと 彼等はそのおこなひの實をくらふべければなり

11 Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.

惡者はわざはひなる哉かならず災禍をうけん その手の報きたるべければなり

12 As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.

わが民はをさなごに虐げられ婦女にをさめらる 唉わが民よなんぢを導くものは反てなんぢを迷はせ汝のゆくべき途を絶つ

13 The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.

ヱホバ立いでて公理をのべ起てもろもろの民を審判し給ふ

14 The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.

ヱホバ來りておのが民の長老ともろもろの君とをさばきて言給はん なんぢらは葡萄園をくひあらせり貧きものより掠めとりたる物はなんぢらの家にあり

15 By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.

いかなれば汝等わが民をふみにじり貧きものの面をすりくだくやと これ主萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり

16 Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:

ヱホバまた言給はくシォンの女輩はおごり項をのばしてあるき眼にて媚をおくり徐々としてあゆみゆくその足にはりんりんと音あり

17 The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.

このゆゑに主シオンのむすめらの頭をかぶろにしヱホバ彼らの醜所をあらはし給はん

18 In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,

その日主かれらが足にかざれる美はしき釧をとり 瓔珞 半月飾

19 The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing,

耳環 手釧 面帕

20 The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,

華冠 脛飾 紳 香盒 符嚢

21 The rings, and the nose-jewels,

指環 鼻環

22 The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags,

公服 上衣 外帔 金嚢

23 The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, and the veils.

鏡 細布の衣 首帕 被衣などを取除きたまはん

24 And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

而して馨はしき香はかはりて臭穣となり 紳はかはりて繩となり 美はしく編たる髪はかぶろとなり華かなる衣はかはりて麁布のころもとなり 麗顔はかはりて烙鐵せられたる痕とならん

25 Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.

なんぢの男はつるぎにたふれ なんぢの勇士はたたかひに仆るべし

26 And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.

その門はなげきかなしみシオンは荒廢れて地にすわらん
