Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
ヱホバよ汝はわが神なり 我なんぢを崇めなんぢの名をほめたたへん 汝さきに妙なる事をおこなひ 古時より定めたることを眞實をもて成たまひたればなり
2 [Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
なんぢ邑をかへて石堆となし 堅固なる城を荒墟となし 外人の京都を邑とならしめず永遠にたつることを得ざらしめたまへり
3 Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
この故につよき民はなんぢをあがめ 暴びたる國々の城はなんぢをおそるべし
4 Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
そはなんぢ弱きものの保砦となり 乏しきものの難のときの保砦となり 雨風のふききたりて垣をうつごとく暴ぶるものの荒きたるときの避所となり 熱をさくる蔭となりたまへり
5 and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
なんぢ外人の喧嘩をおさへて旱ける地より熱をとりのぞく如くならしめ 暴ぶるものの凱歌をとどめて雪の陰をもて熱をとどむる如くならしめたまはん
6 Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
萬軍のヱホバこの山にてもろもろの民のために肥たるものをもて宴をまうけ 久しくたくはへたる葡萄酒をもて宴をまうく 膸おほき肥たるもの久しくたくはへたる清るぶだう酒の宴なり
7 [People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
又この山にてもろもろの民のかぶれる面帕と もろもろの國のおほへる外帔をとりのぞき
8 He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
とこしへまで死を呑たまはん 主ヱホバはすべての面より涙をぬぐひ 全地のうへよりその民の凌辱をのぞき給はん これはヱホバの語りたまへるなり
9 At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
その日此如いはん これはわれらの神なり われら俟望めり 彼われらを救ひたまはん 是ヱホバなり われらまちのぞめり 我儕そのすくひを歡びたのしむべしと
10 Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
ヱホバの手はこの山にとどまり モアブはその處にてあくたの水のなかにふまるる藁のごとく蹂躙られん
11 Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
彼そのなかにて游者のおよがんとして手をのばすが如く己が手をのばさん 然どヱホバその手の脆計とともにその傲慢を伏たまはん
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
なんぢの垣たかき堅固なる城はヱホバかたぶけたふし 地におとして塵にまじへたまはん
