Isaiah 32

1 Lo! in righteousness, shall reign a king, Yea even princes, with equity, shall bear rule.

茲にひとりの王あり 正義をもて統治め その君たちは公平をもて宰さどらん

2 So shall each one become As a hiding-place from the wind And a covert from the storm, —As channels of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.

また人ありて風のさけどころ暴雨ののがれどころとなり 旱ける地にある水のながれのごとく 倦つかれたる地にある大なる岩陰の如くならん

3 And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed, —And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;

見るものの目はくらまず 聞ものの耳はかたぶけきくをうべし

4 And the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.

躁がしきものの心はさとりて知識をえ 吃者の舌はすみやけくあざやかに語るをうべし

5 A base man, shall no longer be called, noble, —Nor, a knave, be named, liberal;

愚かなる者はふたたび尊貴とよばるることなく 狡猾なる者はふたたび大人とよばるることなかるべし

6 For, a base man, with baseness, will speak, And, his heart, will practise iniquity, —Practising profanity, And speaking, against Yahweh that which misleadeth, Emptying the soul of the hungry, And the drink of the thirsty, he causeth to fail;

そは愚なるものは愚なることをかたり その心に不義をかもし邪曲をおこなひ ヱホバにむかひて妄なることをかたり 饑たる者のこころを空しくし渇けるものの飮料をつきはてしむ

7 Yea, a knave, his weapons are wicked, —He, base schemes, hath devised To ruin the oppressed with speeches of falsehood Even when the needy pleadeth, for justice.

狡猾なるものの用ゐる器はあしし 彼あしき企圖をまうけ虛僞のことばをもて苦しむ者をそこなひ 乏しき者のかたること正理なるも尚これを害へり

8 But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised, —And, he, upon noble things, will stand,

たふとき人はたふとき謀略をまうけ恒にたふとき事をおこなふ

9 Ye women in comfort! arise hear my voice, Ye daughters so confident give ear to my speech: —

安逸にをる婦等よおきてわが聲をきけ 思煩ひなき女等よわが言に耳を傾けよ

10 Some days beyond a year, ye shall be troubled ye confident ones, —For failed hath the vintage, No, gathering, cometh in.

思煩ひなきをんなたちよ一年あまりの日をすぎて摺きあわてん そは葡萄の収穫むなしく果ををさむる期きたるまじければなり

11 Tremble, ye women in comfort, Be troubled ye daughters so confident, —Strip! and bare yourselves, and gird somewhat on your loins:

やすらかにをる婦等よふるひおそれよ おもひわづらひなき者よをののきあわてよ 衣をぬぎ裸體になりて腰に麁服をまとへ

12 Upon your breasts, continue smiting: For desirable fields, For fruitful vine.

かれら良田のため實りゆたかなる葡萄の樹のために胸をうたん

13 Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars shall grow, —Yea over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!

棘と荊わが民の地にはえ 樂みの邑なるよろこびの家々にもはえん

14 For the palace, is abandoned, the tumult of the city, hath ceased—Hill and watch-tower, serve as caves, unto times age-abiding, The joy of wild-asses, The pasture of flocks: —

そは殿はすてられ にぎはひたる邑はあれすたれ オペルと櫓とはとこしへに洞穴となり 野の驢馬のたのしむところ羊のむれの草はむところとなるべし

15 Until there be poured out upon us the spirit, from on high, —Then shall the wilderness become, garden-land, And the garden-land, for a forest, be reckoned;

されど遂には靈うへより我儕にそそぎて 荒野はよき田となり 良田は林のごとく見ゆるとききたらん

16 Then shall, justice inhabit, the wilderness, And righteousness, in the garden-land, shall abide;

そのとき公平はあれのにすみ 正義はよき田にをらん

17 And the yield of righteousness, shall be, peace, —And the tillage of righteousness, quietness, and confidence! to times age-abiding;

かくて正義のいさをは平和 せいぎのむすぶ果はとこしへの平隱とやすきなり

18 And my people shall dwell, In a borne of peace, —and In habitations of security, and In resting-places of comfort.

わが民はへいわの家にをり 思ひわづらひなき住所にをり 安らかなる休息所にをらん

19 But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.

されどまづ雹ふりて林くだけ邑もことごとくたふるべし

20 How happy are ye who sow beside all waters, —Who send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.

なんぢらもろもろの水のほとりに種をおろし 牛および驢馬の足をはなちおく者はさいはひなり
