Isaiah 31

1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek Jehovah.

助をえんとてエジプトにくだり馬によりたのむものは禍ひなるかな 戰車おほきが故にこれにたのみ騎兵はなはだ强きがゆゑに之にたのむ されどイスラエルの聖者をあふがずヱホバを求ることをせざるなり

2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against those who help evildoers.

然はあれどもヱホバもまた智慧あるべし かならず禍害をくだしてその言をひるがへしたまはず 起てあしきものの家をせめ また不義を行ふ者の助をせめ給はん

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

かのエジプト人は人にして神にあらずその馬は肉にして靈にあらず ヱホバその手をのばしたまはば助くるものも蹟き たすけらるる者もたふれてみなひとしく亡びん

4 For thus says Jehovah to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Jehovah of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

ヱホバ如此われにいひたまふ 獅のほえ壯獅の獲物をつかみてほえたけれるとき 許多のひつじかひ相呼つどひてむかひゆくとも その聲によりて挫けずその喧譁しきによりて臆せざるごとく 萬軍のヱホバくだりてシオンの山およびその岡にて戰ひ給ふべし

5 As birds hovering, so Jehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."

鳥の雛をまもるがごとく萬軍のヱホバはヱルサレムをまもりたまはん これを護りてこれをすくひ踰越てこれを援けたまはん

6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

イスラエルの子輩よなんぢらさきには甚だしく主にそむけり 今たちかへるべし

7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.

なんぢらおのが手につくりて罪ををかしし白銀のぐうざう黄金の偶像をその日おのおのなげすてん

8 "The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.

爰にアツスリヤびとは劍にてたふれん されど人のつるぎにあらず 劍かれらをほろぼさん されど世の人のつるぎにあらず かれら劍のまへより逃はしりその壯きものは役丁とならん

9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his officers will be afraid of the banner," says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

かれらの磐はおそれによりて逝去り その君たちは旗をみてくじけん こはヱホバの御言なり ヱホバの火はシオンにありヱホバの爐はヱルサレムにあり
