< Isaiah 6 >

1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
ウジヤ王のしにたる年われ高くあがれる御座にヱホバの坐し給ふを見しにその衣裾は殿にみちたり
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
セラピムその上にたつ おのおの六の翼あり その二をもて面をおほひ その二をもて足をおほひ 其二をもて飛翔り
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
たがひに呼いひけるは聖なるかな聖なるかな聖なるかな萬軍のヱホバ その榮光は全地にみつ
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
斯よばはる者の聲によりて閾のもとゐ搖うごき家のうちに煙みちたり
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
このとき我いへり 禍ひなるかな我ほろびなん 我はけがれたる唇の民のなかにすみて穢たるくちびるの者なるに わが眼ばんぐんのヱホバにまします王を見まつればなりと
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
爰にかのセラピムのひとり鉗をもて壇の上よりとりたる熱炭を手にたづさへて我にとびきたり
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
わが口に觸ていひけるは 視よこの火なんぢの唇にふれたれば旣になんぢの惡はのぞかれ なんぢの罪はきよめられたりと
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
我またヱホバの聲をきく曰く われ誰をつかはさん誰かわれらのために往べきかと そのとき我いひけるはわれ此にあり我をつかはしたまへ
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
ヱホバいひたまはく往てこの民にかくのごとく告よ なんぢら聞てきけよ然どさとらざるべし 見てみよ然どしらざるべしと
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
なんぢこの民のこころを鈍くしその耳をものうくし その眼をおほへ 恐らくは彼らその眼にて見その耳にてきき その心にてさとり翻へりて醫さるることあらん
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
ここに我いひけるは 主よいつまで如此あらんか 主こたへたまはく 邑はあれすたれて住むものなく 家に人なく 邦ことごとく荒土となり
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
人々ヱホバに遠方までうつされ 廢りたるところ國中におほくならん時まで 如此あるべし
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
そのなかに十分の一のこる者あれども此もまた呑つくされん されど聖裔のこりてこの地の根となるべし彼のテレビントまたは橿樹がきらるることありともその根ののこるがごとし
