Isaiah 30
1 Yahweh says, “Terrible things will happen to you, my people who rebel against me. You make plans, but what you plan is not what I want. You have made an alliance [with the rulers of Egypt], but you did not ask my Spirit [if that was what you should do]. By doing that, you have increased the number of your sins.
ヱホバのたまはく 悖るる子輩はわざはひなるかな かれら謀略をすれども我によりてせず 盟をむすべどもわが靈にしたがはず ますます罪につみをくはへん
2 You went to Egypt [to ask their rulers for help], without asking for my advice. You have trusted in [the army of] the king of Egypt to protect you; you have [trusted in them] [like] people sit in the shade [to protect themselves from the sun] [MET].
かれらわが口にとはずしてエジプトに下りゆきパロの力をかりておのれを强くしエジプトの蔭によらん
3 [But] the result of your trusting in the king of Egypt is that you will be [disappointed and] disgraced; because of trusting in him, you will be humiliated.
パロのちからは反てなんぢらの恥となり エジプトの蔭によるは反てなんぢらの辱かしめとなるべし
4 Officials/ambassadors [from Judah] have gone to Zoan and Hanes [cities in Egypt to make treaties],
かれの君たちはゾアンにあり かれの使者たちはハネスにきたれり
5 but all those [who trust in the King of Egypt] will be humiliated, because that nation will not be able to help you; the treaty that you have made [requesting help from them] will be useless; instead, the result will be that you will be humiliated and disgraced [DOU].”
かれらは皆おのれを益することあたはざる民によりて恥をいだく かの民はたすけとならず益とならず かへりて恥となり謗となれり
6 [I received from Yahweh] this message about the animals in the southern part of Judah: That area is one where [people experience a lot of] troubles and difficulties, an area where there are male and female lions and various kinds of poisonous snakes. Caravans go through that area taking donkeys and camels loaded with valuable goods. [They are taking them] to Egypt to seek for protection [by the army of Egypt], [but] it will be useless.
南のかたの牲畜にかかる重負のよげん 曰く／かれらその財貨を若き驢馬のかたにおはせ その寳物を駱駝の背におはせて 牝獅 牡獅 まむし及びとびかける蛇のいづる苦しみと艱難との國をすぎて 己をえきすること能はざる民にゆかん
7 The promises made by [the king of] Egypt are worthless; therefore I call Egypt ‘the sea monster/dragon that does nothing’.
そのエジプトの助はいたづらにして虛し このゆゑに我はこれを休みをるラハブとよべり
8 Yahweh told me to write on a scroll a message, in order that it would be a witness [to the people of Judah] that would endure forever.
いま往てこれをその前にて牌にしるし書にのせ 後の世に傳へてとこしへに證とすべし
9 [It would remind them] that they are deceitful and always rebelling against Yahweh; they refuse to pay attention to what he tells/teaches them.
これは悖れる民いつはりをいふ子輩ヱホバの律法をきくことをせざる子輩なり
10 They tell the people who see/receive visions [from Yahweh], “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Do not reveal to us what is right! Tell us pleasant things; do not tell us visions about things that are true!
かれら見るものに對ひていふ見るなかれと 默示をうる者にむかひていふ直きことを示すなかれ 滑かなることをかたれ虛僞をしめせ
11 Stop doing what you have been doing [DOU]; stop telling us what the Holy One of Israel [says to us]!”
なんぢら大道をさり逕をはなれ われらが前にイスラエルの聖者をあらしむるなかれと
12 Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected my message, and you are relying on those who oppress and deceive others.
此によりてイスラエルの聖者かくいひ給ふ なんぢらこの言をあなどり暴虐と邪曲とをたのみて之にたよれり
13 Therefore, the result of your sin [of rejecting me] will be that you will [suddenly experience disasters]; what will happen to you will be like [SIM] a cracked wall that suddenly collapses [DOU].
斯るがゆゑにこの不義なんぢらには凸出ておちんとするたかき垣のさけたるところのごとく その破壞にはかに暫しが間にきたらんと
14 You will be smashed like a clay jar is smashed [when it is dropped], and it shatters completely, with the result that there is not one piece big enough to carry some coals from a stove or to carry a little bit of water from a well.”
主これを破りあだかも陶工の瓶をくだきやぶるがごとくして惜みたまはず その碎のなかに爐より火をとり池より水をくむほどの一片だに見出すことなからん
15 Yahweh, [our] God, the Holy One of Israel, [also] says this: “You will be rescued [from your enemies only] if you repent and trust [in what I will do for you]; you will be strong [only] if you quit worrying and trust in me. But you do not want [to do that].
主ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者かくいひたまへり なんぢら立かへりて靜かにせば救をえ 平穩にして依賴まば力をうべしと 然どなんぢらこの事をこのまざりき
16 You said, ‘No, we will escape on horses [that the army of Egypt will give us]!’ So, you will [try to] flee. You said, ‘We will [escape from the army of Assyria] by riding on swift horses!’ [But] those who pursue you will [also ride] swiftly.
なんぢら反ていへり 否われら馬にのりて逃走らんと この故になんぢら逃走らん 又いへりわれら疾きものに乗んと この故になんぢらを追もの疾かるべし
17 [As a result], 1,000 [of you] will flee when [only] one of them pursues you! When only five [of their soldiers] threaten [to kill you], [all of] will flee. [Only a few of] you will be left, like [SIM] a [single] flagpole on top of a mountain with one signal flag on the pole.”
ひとり叱咤すれば千人にげはしり 五人しつたすればなんぢら逃走りて その遺るものは僅かに山嶺にある杆のごとく 岡のうへにある旗のごとくならん
18 [But] wants to be kind to you; he desires to show you that he is merciful. [Do not forget that] Yahweh is a God who acts justly; he is pleased with those who patiently trust in him.
ヱホバこれにより俟てのち恩惠を汝等にほどこし これにより上りてのちなんぢらを憐れみたまはん ヱホバは公平の神にましませり 凡てこれを俟望むものは福ひなり
19 You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU], [some day] you will not cry any more. Yahweh will be kind to you when you call out to him for help. He will answer/help you as soon as he hears you call.
シオンにをりヱルサレムにをる民よ なんぢは再びなくことあらじ そのよばはる聲に應じて必ずなんぢに惠をほどこしたまはん 主ききたまふとき直にこたへたまふべし
20 Although [now] Yahweh has caused you to [daily] experience [MET] great troubles and suffer much, [he], your teacher, will not hide himself from you. He [SYN] will teach you many things clearly.
主はなんぢらになやみの糧とくるしみの水とをあたへ給はん なんぢを敎るもの再びかくれじ 汝の目はその敎るものを恒にみるべし
21 And you will hear him speak to you to guide you. [Right] behind you he will say, “This is the road on which you should walk; walk on this road!”
なんぢ右にゆくも左にゆくもその耳に これは道なりこれを歩むべしと後邊にてかたるをきかん
22 When that happens, you will destroy [all] your idols that are covered with silver or gold. You will throw them away like you throw away a filthy rag, and you will say to them, “We do not need you any more!”
又なんぢら白銀をおほひし刻める像 こがねをはりし鑄たる像をけがれとし 穢物のごとく打棄ていはん 去れと
23 [If you do that], Yahweh will bless you by giving you good rain at the time that you plant your crops. You will have good harvests, and plenty of pasture with grass for your cattle to eat.
なんぢが地にまく種に主は雨をあたへ また地になりいづる糧をたまふ その土產こえて豐かならん その日なんぢの家畜はひろき牧場に草をはむべし
24 After the wind [blows away the chaff], the oxen and donkeys that [pull the plow to] plow your ground will have good grain to eat.
地をたがへす牛と驢馬とは團扇にてあふぎ箕にてとほし鹽をくはへたる飼料をくらはん
25 At that time, when [your enemies] have been slaughtered and their towers have (collapsed/been destroyed), there will be streams flowing down every hill and mountain [in Judah].
大なる殺戮の日やぐらのたふるる時もろもろのたかき山もろもろのそびえたる嶺に河とみづの流とあるべし
26 The moon will seem to shine as brightly as the sun, and the sun will seem to shine seven times as brightly as previously. That is what it will be like when Yahweh causes [the suffering of] his people [to cease; it will be as though] [MET] he will be putting bandages on their wounds and healing them.
かくてヱホバその民のきずをつつみ そのうたれたる創痍をいやしたまふ日には月のひかりは日の光のごとく日のひかりは七倍をくはへて七の日のひかりの如くならん
27 [It is as though] we see Yahweh coming from far away; he is extremely angry, and there are thick clouds of smoke around him. By what he says [MTY] he shows that he is angry; what he says is like [SIM] a devastating/destructive fire.
視よヱホバの名はとほき所よりきたり そのはげしき怒はもえあがる焰のごとく その唇はいきどほりにてみち その舌はやきつくす火のごとく
28 His breath is like [SIM] a flood that covers [his enemies] up to their necks. He will separate [MET] the nations in order to destroy [some of them]; [it is as though] he will put hooks in their mouths and take them away.
その氣息はみなぎりて項にまでいたる流のごとし 且ほろびの篩にてもろもろの國をふるひ又まどはす韁をもろもろの民の口におきたまはん
29 But [his people] will sing joyfully like they sing during the nights when they celebrate a holy festival. They will be very joyful, like [SIM] [a large group of his people] are joyful when they go up to Zion Hill in Jerusalem, along with men playing flutes [when they are all going there to worship Yahweh]. He is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which [we] Israeli people [are safe].
なんぢらは歌うたはん節會をまもる夜のごとし なんぢらは心によろこばん笛をならしヱホバの山にきたりイスラエルの磐につくときの如し
30 And Yahweh will enable [us] to hear him speaking powerfully/majestically. He will show us that he [SYN] is very powerful. [We] will see him [SYN] smash [his enemies]. Being very angry, he will descend with a big rainstorm and thunder and hail [to punish them].
ヱホバはその稜威のこゑをきかしめ 烈しき怒をはなちて燒つくす火のほのほと暴風と大雨と雹とをもて その臂のくだることを示したまはん
31 [The soldiers of] Assyria will be terrified when they hear the voice of Yahweh and when he strikes them with his rod.
ヱホバのこゑによりてアツスリヤ人はくじけん 主はこれを笞にてうち給ふべし
32 And while Yahweh strikes them to punish them, [his people] will [celebrate by] playing tambourines and harps. [It will be as though] Yahweh will lift up his powerful hand/arm and defeat the Assyrian army in battle.
ヱホバの豫じめさだめたまへる杖をアツスリヤのうへにくはへたまふごとに 鼓をならし琴をひかん 主はうごきふるふ戰闘をもてかれらとたたかひ給ふべし
33 [The valley of] Topheth [outside Jerusalem] has been prepared for a long time; it is ready for the king [of Assyria]; the (funeral pyre/pile of wood) [for burning his body] is wide and high, and [it will be as though] Yahweh will light the fire with his breath, which will come out like a stream of burning sulfur.
トペテは往古よりまうけられ また王のために備へられたり これを深くしこれを廣くしここに火とおほくの薪とをつみおきたり ヱホバの氣息これを硫黄のながれのごとくに燃さん
