イザヤ書 45
1 われヱホバわが受膏者クロスの右手をとりてもろもろの國をそのまへに降らしめ もろもろの王の腰をとき扉をその前にひらかせて門をとづるものなからしめん
Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 われ汝のまへにゆきて崎嶇をたひらかにし 銅の門をこぼち くろがねの關木をたちきるべし
I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in two the bars of iron:
3 われなんぢに暗ところの財貨とひそかなるところに藏せるたからとを予へ なんぢに我はヱホバなんぢの名をよべるイスラエルの神なるを知しめん
And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
4 わが僕ヤコブわが撰みたるイスラエルのために我なんぢの名をよべり 汝われを知ずといへどわれ名をなんぢに賜ひたり
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 われはヱホバなり 我のほかに神なし 一人もなし 汝われをしらずといへども我なんぢを固うせん
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me:
6 而して日のいづるところより西のかたまで人々我のほかに神なしと知べし 我はヱホバなり他にひとりもなし
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 われは光をつくり又くらきを創造す われは平和をつくりまた禍害をさうざうす 我はヱホバなり 我すべてこれらの事をなすなり
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 天ようへより滴らすべし 雲よ義をふらすべし 地はひらけて救を生じ義をもともに萌いだすべし われヱホバ之を創造せり
Drop down, all of you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 世人はすゑものの中のひとつの陶器なるに己をつくれる者とあらそふはわざはひなるかな 泥塊はすゑものつくりにむかひて汝なにを作るかといふべけんや 又なんぢの造りたる者なんぢを手なしといふべけんや
Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 父にむかひて汝なにゆゑに生むことをせしやといひ 婦にむかひて汝なにゆゑに產のくるしみをなししやといふ者はわざはひなるかな
Woe unto him that says unto his father, What brought forth you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者イスラエルを造れるもの如此いひたまふ 後きたらんとすることを我にとへ またわが子女とわが手の工とにつきて汝等われに言せよ
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command all of you me.
12 われ地をつくりてそのうへに人を創造せり われ自らの手をもて天をのべ その萬象をさだめたり
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 われ義をもて彼のクロスを起せり われそのすべての道をなほくせん 彼はわが邑をたてわが俘囚を價のためならず報のためならずして釋すべし これ萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.
14 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ エジプトがはたらきて得しものとエテオピアがあきなひて得しものとはなんぢの有とならん また身のたけ高きセバ人きたりくだりて汝にしたがひ繩につながれて降り なんぢのまへに伏しなんぢに祈りていはん まことに神はなんぢの中にいませり このほかに神なし一人もなしと
Thus says the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 救をほどこし給ふイスラエルの神よ まことに汝はかくれています神なり
Verily you are a God that hide yourself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 偶像をつくる者はみな恥をいだき辱かしめをうけ諸共にはぢあわてて退かん
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 されどイスラエルはヱホバにすくはれて永遠の救をえん なんぢらは世々かぎりなく恥をいだかず辱かしめをうけじ
But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: all of you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 ヱホバは天を創造したまへる者にしてすなはち神なり また地をもつくり成てこれを堅くし徒然にこれを創造し給はず これを人の住所につくり給へり ヱホバかく宣給ふ われはヱホバなり我のほかに神あることなしと
For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 われは隱れたるところ地のくらき所にてかたらず 我はヤコブの裔になんぢらが我をたづぬるは徒然なりといはず 我ヱホバはただしき事をかたり直きことを告ぐ
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek all of you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 汝等もろもろの國より脱れきたれる者よ つどひあつまり共にすすみききたれ 木の像をになひ救ふことあたはざる神にいのりするものは無智なるなり
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, all of you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 なんぢらその道理をもちきたりて述よ また共にはかれ 此事をたれか上古より示したりや 誰かむかしより告たりしや 此はわれヱホバならずや 我のほかに神あることなし われは義をおこなひ救をほどこす神にして我のほかに神あることなし
Tell all of you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 地の極なるもろもろの人よ なんぢら我をあふぎのぞめ然ばすくはれん われは神にして他に神なければなり
Look unto me, and be all of you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 われは己をさして誓ひたり この言はただしき口よりいでたれば反ることなし すべての膝はわがまへに屈み すべての舌はわれに誓をたてん
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 人われに就ていはん正義と力とはヱホバにのみありと 人々ヱホバにきたらん すべてヱホバにむかひて怒るものは恥をいだくべし
Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 イスラエルの裔はヱホバによりて義とせられ且ほこらん
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
