Isaiah 14
1 For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
ヱホバ、ヤコブを憐みイスラエルをふたたび撰びて之をおのれの地におきたまはん異邦人これに加りてヤコブの家にむすびつらなるべし
2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
もろもろの民はかれらをその處にたづさへいたらん而してイスラエルの家はヱホバの地にてこれを奴婢となし曩におのれを虜にしたるものを虜にしおのれを虐げたるものを治めん
3 It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
ヱホバなんぢの憂と艱難とをのぞき亦なんぢが勤むるからき役をのぞきて安息をたまふの日
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
なんぢこの歌をとなヘバビロン王をせめていはん虐ぐる者いかにして息みしや金をはたる者いかにして息みしやと
5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
ヱホバあしきものの笞ともろもろの有司の杖とををりたまへり
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
かれらは怒をもてもろもろの民をたえず撃てはうち忿恚をもてもろもろの國ををさむれどその暴虐をとどむる者なかりき
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
今は全地やすみを得おだやかを得ことごとく聲をあげてうたふ
8 Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
實にまつの樹およびレバノンの香柏さへもなんぢの故により歡びていふ汝すでに仆たれば樵夫のぼりきたりてわれらを攻ることなしと
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
下の陰府はなんぢの故により動きて汝のきたるをむかへ世のもろもろの英雄の亡靈をおこし國々のもろもろの王をその位より起おこらしむ (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
かれらは皆なんぢに告ていはん汝もわれらのごとく弱くなりしや汝もわれらと同じくなりしやと
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
なんぢの榮華となんぢの琴の音はすでに陰府におちたり蛆なんぢの下にしかれ蚯蚓なんぢをおほふ (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
あしたの子明星よいかにして天より隕しやもろもろの國をたふしし者よいかにして斫れて地にたふれしや
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
汝さきに心中におもへらくわれ天にのぼり我くらゐを神の星のうへにあげ北の極なる集會の山にざし
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”
たかき雲漢にのぼり至上者のごとくなるべしと
然どなんぢは陰府におとされ坑の最下にいれられん (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
なんぢを見るものは熟々なんぢを視なんぢに目をとめていはんこの人は地をふるはせ列國をうごかし
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”
世を荒野のごとくしもろもろの邑をこぼち捕へたるものをその家にときかへさざりしものなるかと
18 All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
もろもろの國の王たちはことごとく皆たふとき状にておのおのその家にねぶる
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
然どなんぢは忌きらふべき枝のごとくおのが墓のそとにすてられその周圍には劍にて刺ころされ坑におろされ石におほはれたる者ありて踐つけらるる屍にことならず
20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.
汝おのれの國をほろぼしおのれの民をころししが故にかれらとおなじく葬らるることあたはずそれ惡をおこなふものの裔はとこしへに名をよばるることなかるべし
21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
先祖のよこしまの故をもてその子孫のために戮場をそなへ彼等をしてたちて地をとり世界のおもてに邑をみたすことなからしめよ
22 “I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh.
萬軍のヱホバのたまはく我立てかれらを攻めバビロンよりその名と遺りたるものとを絶滅しその子その孫をたちほろぼさんとこれヱホバの聖言なり
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Yahweh of Armies.
われバビロンを刺蝟のすみかとし沼とし且ほろびの箒をもてこれを掃除かんとこれ萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
24 Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
萬軍のヱホバ誓をたてて言給はくわがおもひし事はかならず成わがさだめし事はかならず立ん
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
われアツスリヤ人をわが地にてうちやぶりわが山々にてふみにじらんここにおいて彼がおきし軛はイスラエル人よりはなれ彼がおはせし重負はイスラエル人の肩よりはなるべし
26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
これは全地のことにつきて定めたる謀略なり是はもろもろの國のうへに伸したる手なり
27 For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
萬軍のヱホバさだめたまへり誰かこれを破ることを得んやその手をのばしたまへり誰かこれを押返すことを得んや
28 This burden was in the year that King Ahaz died.
アハズ王の死たる年おもにの預言ありき
29 Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
曰くペリシテの全地よなんぢをうちし杖をれたればとて喜ぶなかれ蛇の根より蝮いでその果はとびかける巨蛇となるべければなり
30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
いと貧しきものはものくひ乏しきものは安然にふさんわれ飢饉をもてなんぢの根をしなせ汝がのこれる者をころすべし
31 Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
門よなげけ邑よさけべペリシテよなんぢの全地きえうせたりそはけぶり北よりいできたりその軍兵の列におくるるものなし
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
その國の使者たちに何とこたふべきや答ヘていはんヱホバ、シオンの基をおきたまへりその民のなかの苦しむものは避所をこの中にえん
