< Isaiah 63 >

1 [I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
このエドムよりきたり緋衣をきてボヅラよりきたる者はたれぞ その服飾はなやかに大なる能力をもて嚴しく歩みきたる者はたれぞ これは義をもてかたり大にすくひをほどこす我なり
2 [I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
なんぢの服飾はなにゆゑに赤くなんぢの衣はなにゆゑに酒榨をふむ者とひとしきや
3 [He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
我はひとりにて酒榨をふめり もろもろの民のなかに我とともにする者なし われ怒によりて彼等をふみ忿恚によりてかれらを蹈にじりたれば かれらの血わが衣にそそぎわが服飾をことごとく汚したり
4 I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
そは刑罰の日わが心の中にあり 救贖の歳すでにきたれり
5 I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
われ見てたすくる者なく扶る者なきを奇しめり この故にわが臂われをすくひ我いきどほり我をささへたり
6 Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
われ怒によりてもろもろの民をふみおさへ 忿恚によりてかれらを酔しめ かれらの血を地に流れしめたり
7 I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
われはヱホバのわれらに施したまへる各種のめぐみとその譽とをかたりつげ 又その憐憫にしたがひ其おほくの恩惠にしたがひてイスラエルの家にほどこし給ひたる大なる恩寵をかたり告ん
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
ヱホバいひたまへり 誠にかれらはわが民なり 虚僞をせざる子輩なりと 斯てヱホバはかれらのために救主となりたまへり
9 When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
かれらの艱難のときはヱホバもなやみ給ひてその面前の使をもて彼等をすくひ その愛とその憐憫とによりて彼等をあがなひ彼等をもたげ昔時の日つねに彼等をいだきたまへり
10 But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
然るにかれらは悖りてその聖靈をうれへしめたる故にヱホバ翻然かれらの仇となりて自らこれを攻たまへり
11 Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
爰にその民いにしへのモーセの日をおもひいでて曰けるは かれらとその群の牧者とを海より携へあげし者はいづこにありや 彼等のなかに聖靈をおきしものは何處にありや
12 Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
榮光のかひなをモーセの右にゆかしめ 彼等のまへに水をさきて自らとこしへの名をつくり
13 Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
彼等をみちびきて馬の野をはしるがごとく躓かで淵をすぎしめたりし者はいづこに在りや
14 They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
谷にくだる家畜の如くにヱホバの靈かれらをいこはせ給へり 主よなんぢは斯おのれの民をみちびきて榮光の名をつくり給へり
15 [Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
ねがはくは天より俯觀なはし その榮光あるきよき居所より見たまへ なんぢの熱心となんぢの大能あるみわざとは今いづこにありや なんぢの切なる仁慈と憐憫とはおさへられて我にあらはれず
16 You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
汝はわれらの父なり アブラハムわれらを知ず イスラエルわれらを認めず されどヱホバよ汝はわれらの父なり 上古よりなんぢの名をわれらの贖主といへり
17 Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
ヱホバよ何故にわれらをなんぢの道より離れまどはしめ我儕のこころを頑固にして汝を畏れざらしめたまふや 願くはなんぢの僕等のためになんぢの產業なる支派のために歸りたまへ
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
汝のきよきたみ地をえて久しからざるにわれらの敵なんぢの聖所をふみにじれり
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
我儕はなんぢに上古より治められざる者のごとく なんぢの名をもて稱られざる者のごとくなりぬ
