イザヤ書 25

1 ヱホバよ汝はわが神なり 我なんぢを崇めなんぢの名をほめたたへん 汝さきに妙なる事をおこなひ 古時より定めたることを眞實をもて成たまひたればなり

O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

2 なんぢ邑をかへて石堆となし 堅固なる城を荒墟となし 外人の京都を邑とならしめず永遠にたつることを得ざらしめたまへり

For you have made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

3 この故につよき民はなんぢをあがめ 暴びたる國々の城はなんぢをおそるべし

Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.

4 そはなんぢ弱きものの保砦となり 乏しきものの難のときの保砦となり 雨風のふききたりて垣をうつごとく暴ぶるものの荒きたるときの避所となり 熱をさくる蔭となりたまへり

For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

5 なんぢ外人の喧嘩をおさへて旱ける地より熱をとりのぞく如くならしめ 暴ぶるものの凱歌をとどめて雪の陰をもて熱をとどむる如くならしめたまはん

You shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

6 萬軍のヱホバこの山にてもろもろの民のために肥たるものをもて宴をまうけ 久しくたくはへたる葡萄酒をもて宴をまうく 膸おほき肥たるもの久しくたくはへたる清るぶだう酒の宴なり

And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the sediments of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the sediments of wine well refined.

7 又この山にてもろもろの民のかぶれる面帕と もろもろの國のおほへる外帔をとりのぞき

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

8 とこしへまで死を呑たまはん 主ヱホバはすべての面より涙をぬぐひ 全地のうへよりその民の凌辱をのぞき給はん これはヱホバの語りたまへるなり

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.

9 その日此如いはん これはわれらの神なり われら俟望めり 彼われらを救ひたまはん 是ヱホバなり われらまちのぞめり 我儕そのすくひを歡びたのしむべしと

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

10 ヱホバの手はこの山にとどまり モアブはその處にてあくたの水のなかにふまるる藁のごとく蹂躙られん

For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11 彼そのなかにて游者のおよがんとして手をのばすが如く己が手をのばさん 然どヱホバその手の脆計とともにその傲慢を伏たまはん

And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swins spreads forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

12 なんぢの垣たかき堅固なる城はヱホバかたぶけたふし 地におとして塵にまじへたまはん

And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
