< イザヤ書 10 >

1 不義のおきてをさだめ暴虐のことばを録すものは禍ひなるかな
Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
2 かれらは乏きものの訴をうけず わが民のなかの貧しきものの權利をはぎ寡婦の資產をうばひ孤兒のものを掠む
to deprive the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey.
3 なんぢら懲しめらるる日きたらば何をなさんとするか 敗壞とほきより來らんとき何をなさんとするか なんぢら逃れゆきて誰にすくひを求めんとするか また何處になんぢらの榮をのこさんとするか
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth,
4 ただ縛められたるものの下にかがみ 殺されたるもののしたに伏仆れんのみ 然はあれどヱホバのいかり止ずして尚ほその手をのばしたまふ
so as not to kneel with the prisoners, or fall among the slain? For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 咄アツスリヤ人 なんぢはわが怒の杖なり その手の笞はわが忿恚なり
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation.
6 われ彼をつかはして邪曲なる國をせめ我かれに命じて我がいかれる民をせめてその所有をかすめその財寶をうばはしめ かれらを街の泥のごとくに蹂躪らしめん
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him a command to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 されどアツスリヤ人のこころざしは斯のごとくならず その心の念もまた斯のごとくならず そのこころは敗壞をこのみ あまたの國をほろぼし絶ん
However he doesn't mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
8 かれ云 わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや
For he says, "Aren't all of my officials kings?
9 カルノはカルケミシの如く ハマテはアルパデの如く サマリヤはダマスコの如きにあらずや
Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?
10 わが手は偶像につかふる國々を得たり その彫たる像はヱルサレムおよびサマリヤのものに勝れたり
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 われ旣にサマリヤとその偶像とに行へるごとく亦ヱルサレムとその偶像とにおこなはざる可んやと
shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
12 このゆゑに主いひたまふ 我シオンの山とヱルサレムとに爲んとする事をことごとく遂をはらんとき 我アツスリヤ王のおごれる心の實とその高ぶり仰ぎたる眼とを罰すべし
Therefore it will happen that, when YHWH has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his haughty looks.
13 そは彼いへらく われ手の力と智慧とによりて之をなせり 我はかしこし 國々の境をのぞき その獲たるものをうばひ 又われは丈夫にしてかの位に坐するものを下したり
For he has said, "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
14 わが手もろもろの民のたからを得たりしは巣をとるが如く また天が下を取收めたりしは遺しすてたる卵をとりあつむるが如くなりき あるひは翼をうごかし あるひは口をひらき あるひは喃々する者もなかりしなりと
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped."
15 斧はこれをもちゐて伐ものにむかひて己みづから誇ることをせんや 鋸は これを動かす者にむかひて己みづから高ぶることをせんや 此はあだかも笞がおのれを擧るものを動かし杖みづから木にあらざるものを擧んとするにひとし
Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
16 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバは肥たるものを瘠しめ 且その榮光のしたに火のもゆるが如き火焰をおこし給はん
Therefore YHWH of hosts will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17 イスラエルの光は火のごとく その聖者はほのほの如くならん 斯て一日のうちに荊とおどろとを燒ほろぼし
The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 又かの林と土肥たる田圃の榮をうせしめ 靈魂をも身をもうせしめて病るものの衰へたるが如くなさん
He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
19 かつ林のうちに殘れる木わづかにして童子も算へうるが如くになるべし
The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
20 その日イスラエルの遺れる者とヤコブの家ののがれたる者とは再びおのれを撃し者にたよらず誠意をもてイスラエルの聖者ヱホバにたよらん
It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 その遺れるものヤコブの遺れるものは大能の神にかへるべし
A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 ああイスラエルよ なんぢの民は海の沙のごとしといへども遺りて歸りきたる者はただ僅少ならん そは敗壞すでにさだまり義にて溢るべければなり
For though your people, Israel, are as the sand of the sea, a remnant will be kept safe. For he will fulfill the word and decisively, overflowing in righteousness;
23 主萬軍のヱホバの定めたまへる敗壞はこれを徧く國内におこなひ給ふべし
because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth.
24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバいひたまはく シオンに住るわが民よアツスリヤ人エジプトの例にならひ笞をもて汝をうち杖をあげて汝をせむるとも懼るるなかれ
Therefore YHWH of hosts says: "My people who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
25 ただ頃刻にして忿恚はやまん 我がいかりは彼等をほろぼして息ん
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction."
26 萬軍のヱホバむかしミデアン人をオレブの巖のあたりにて撃たまひしごとくに禍害をおこして之をせめ 又その杖を海のうへに伸しエジプトの例にしたがひてこれを擧たまはん
YHWH of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
27 その日かれの重荷はなんぢの肩より下 かれの軛はなんぢの頸よりはなれ その軛はあぶらの故をもて壞れん
It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 かれアイにきたりミグロンを過ミクマシにてその輜重をとどめ
He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
29 渡口をすぎてゲバに宿る ここに於てラマはをののきサウルギべア人は逃れはしれり
He went through the pass. He has lodged at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 ガリムの女よなんぢ聲をあげて叫べ ライシよ耳をかたぶけて聽け アナトテよなんぢも聲をあげよ
Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim. Listen, Laishah. You poor Anathoth.
31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり
Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 この日かれノブに立とどまり シオンのむすめの山ヱルサレムの岡にむかひて手をふりたり
This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 主ばんぐんのヱホバは雄々しくたけびてその枝を斷たまはん 丈高きものは伐おとされ聳えたる者はひくくせらるべし
Look, the Lord, YHWH of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 また銕をもて茂りあふ林をきり給はん レバノンは能力あるものに倒さるべし
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
