Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.
わざわいなるかな、おのれ自ら滅ぼされないのに、人を滅ぼし、だれも欺かないのに人を欺く者よ。あなたが滅ぼすことをやめたとき、あなたは滅ぼされ、あなたが欺くことを終えたとき、あなたは欺かれる。
2 O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.
主よ、われわれをお恵みください、われわれはあなたを待ち望む。朝ごとに、われわれの腕となり、悩みの時に、救となってください。
3 From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
鳴りとどろく声によって、もろもろの民は逃げ去り、あなたが立ちあがられると、もろもろの国は散らされる。
4 And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.
青虫が物を集めるようにぶんどり品は集められ、いなごのとびつどうように、人々はその上にとびつどう。
5 The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
主は高くいらせられ、高い所に住まわれる。主はシオンに公平と正義とを満たされる。
6 And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
また主は救と知恵と知識を豊かにして、あなたの代を堅く立てられる。主を恐れることはその宝である。
7 Behold, outside, those who see will cry out. The Angels of peace will weep bitterly.
見よ、勇士たちは外にあって叫び、平和の使者はいたく嘆く。
8 The roads have become desolate. Travelers have ceased along the paths. The covenant has been nullified. He has tossed aside cities. He has disregarded men.
大路は荒れすたれて、旅びとは絶え、契約は破られ、証人は軽んぜられ、人を顧みることがない。
9 The earth has mourned and languished. Lebanon has been confounded and desecrated. And Sharon has become like a desert. And Bashan and Carmel have been struck together.
地は嘆き衰え、レバノンは恥じて枯れ、シャロンは荒野のようになり、バシャンとカルメルはその葉を落す。
10 “Now, I will rise up!” says the Lord. “Now I will be exalted! Now I will lift myself up!”
主は言われる、「今わたしは起きよう、いま立ちあがろう、いま自らを高くしよう。
11 You will conceive heat. You will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit will devour you like fire.
あなたがたは、もみがらをはらみ、わらを産む。あなたがたの息は火となって、あなたがたを食いつくす。
12 And the people will be like the ashes from a fire. They will be consumed by fire like a bundle of thorns.
もろもろの民は焼かれて石灰のようになり、いばらが切られて火に燃やされたようになる」。
13 “You who are far away, listen to what I have done! And you who are near, acknowledge my strength!”
あなたがた遠くにいる者よ、わたしがおこなったことを聞け。あなたがた近くにいる者よ、わが大能を知れ。
14 The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among you is able to live with a devouring fire? Who among you will live with an everlasting flame?
シオンの罪びとは恐れに満たされ、おののきは神を恐れない者を捕えた。「われわれのうち、だれが焼きつくす火の中におることができよう。われわれのうち、だれがとこしえの燃える火の中におることができよう」。
15 The one who walks in justice and speaks the truth, who casts out avarice with oppression and shakes all bribes from his hands, who blocks his ears so that he may not listen to blood, and closes his eyes so that he may not see evil.
正しく歩む者、正直に語る者、しえたげて得た利をいやしめる者、手を振って、まいないを取らない者、耳をふさいで血を流す謀略を聞かない者、目を閉じて悪を見ない者、
16 Such a one will live on high; the fortification of rocks will be his lofty place. Bread has been given to him; his waters are reliable.
このような人は高い所に住み、堅い岩はそのとりでとなり、そのパンは与えられ、その水は絶えることがない。
17 His eyes will see the king in his elegance; they will discern the land from far away.
あなたの目は麗しく飾った王を見、遠く広い国を見る。
18 Your heart will meditate on fear. Where are the learned? Where are those who ponder the words of the law? Where are the teachers of little ones?
あなたの心はかの恐ろしかった事を思い出す。「数を調べた者はどこにいるか。みつぎを量った者はどこにいるか。やぐらを数えた者はどこにいるか」。
19 You will not look upon a shameless people, a people of exalted words. For you are not able to understand the dissertation of a tongue in which there is no wisdom.
あなたはもはや高慢な民を見ない。かの民の言葉はあいまいで、聞きとりがたく、その舌はどもって、悟りがたい。
20 Look with favor upon Zion, the city of our solemnity. Your eyes will behold Jerusalem: an opulent habitation, a tabernacle that can never be taken away. Its stakes will not be taken away forever, nor will any of its cords be broken.
定めの祭の町シオンを見よ。あなたの目は平和なすまい、移されることのない幕屋エルサレムを見る。その杭はとこしえに抜かれず、その綱は、ひとすじも断たれることはない。
21 For only in that place has our Lord been magnified. It is a place of rivers, very broad and open. No ship with oars will cross through it, nor will the great Greek ship pass through it.
主は威厳をもってかしこにいまし、われわれのために広い川と流れのある所となり、その中には、こぐ舟も入らず、大きな船も過ぎることはない。
22 For the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. He himself will save us.
主はわれわれのさばき主、主はわれわれのつかさ、主はわれわれの王であって、われわれを救われる。
23 Your ropes have become loose, and they will not prevail. Your mast will be such that you will not be able to unfurl a flag. Then the spoils of much plunder will be divided. The lame will seize the spoils.
あなたの船綱は解けて、帆柱のもとを結びかためることができず、帆を張ることもできない。その時多くの獲物とぶんどり品は分けられ、足なえまでも獲物を取る。
24 He who is nearby will not say: “I am too weak.” The people who live in it will have their iniquity taken away from them.
そこに住む者のうちには、「わたしは病気だ」と言う者はなく、そこに住む民はその罪がゆるされる。
