< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
このエドムよりきたり緋衣をきてボヅラよりきたる者はたれぞ その服飾はなやかに大なる能力をもて嚴しく歩みきたる者はたれぞ これは義をもてかたり大にすくひをほどこす我なり
2 Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
なんぢの服飾はなにゆゑに赤くなんぢの衣はなにゆゑに酒榨をふむ者とひとしきや
3 I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
我はひとりにて酒榨をふめり もろもろの民のなかに我とともにする者なし われ怒によりて彼等をふみ忿恚によりてかれらを蹈にじりたれば かれらの血わが衣にそそぎわが服飾をことごとく汚したり
4 For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
そは刑罰の日わが心の中にあり 救贖の歳すでにきたれり
5 I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
われ見てたすくる者なく扶る者なきを奇しめり この故にわが臂われをすくひ我いきどほり我をささへたり
6 I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
われ怒によりてもろもろの民をふみおさへ 忿恚によりてかれらを酔しめ かれらの血を地に流れしめたり
7 I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
われはヱホバのわれらに施したまへる各種のめぐみとその譽とをかたりつげ 又その憐憫にしたがひ其おほくの恩惠にしたがひてイスラエルの家にほどこし給ひたる大なる恩寵をかたり告ん
8 He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
ヱホバいひたまへり 誠にかれらはわが民なり 虚僞をせざる子輩なりと 斯てヱホバはかれらのために救主となりたまへり
9 He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
かれらの艱難のときはヱホバもなやみ給ひてその面前の使をもて彼等をすくひ その愛とその憐憫とによりて彼等をあがなひ彼等をもたげ昔時の日つねに彼等をいだきたまへり
10 But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
然るにかれらは悖りてその聖靈をうれへしめたる故にヱホバ翻然かれらの仇となりて自らこれを攻たまへり
11 Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
爰にその民いにしへのモーセの日をおもひいでて曰けるは かれらとその群の牧者とを海より携へあげし者はいづこにありや 彼等のなかに聖靈をおきしものは何處にありや
12 Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
榮光のかひなをモーセの右にゆかしめ 彼等のまへに水をさきて自らとこしへの名をつくり
13 Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
彼等をみちびきて馬の野をはしるがごとく躓かで淵をすぎしめたりし者はいづこに在りや
14 Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
谷にくだる家畜の如くにヱホバの靈かれらをいこはせ給へり 主よなんぢは斯おのれの民をみちびきて榮光の名をつくり給へり
15 Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
ねがはくは天より俯觀なはし その榮光あるきよき居所より見たまへ なんぢの熱心となんぢの大能あるみわざとは今いづこにありや なんぢの切なる仁慈と憐憫とはおさへられて我にあらはれず
16 But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
汝はわれらの父なり アブラハムわれらを知ず イスラエルわれらを認めず されどヱホバよ汝はわれらの父なり 上古よりなんぢの名をわれらの贖主といへり
17 Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
ヱホバよ何故にわれらをなんぢの道より離れまどはしめ我儕のこころを頑固にして汝を畏れざらしめたまふや 願くはなんぢの僕等のためになんぢの產業なる支派のために歸りたまへ
18 Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
汝のきよきたみ地をえて久しからざるにわれらの敵なんぢの聖所をふみにじれり
19 We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
我儕はなんぢに上古より治められざる者のごとく なんぢの名をもて稱られざる者のごとくなりぬ

< Isaiah 63 >
