イザヤ書 48
1 ヤコブの家よなんぢら之をきけ 汝らはイスラエルの名をもて稱へられ ユダの根源よりいでヱホバの名によりて誓ひイスラエルの神をかたりつぐれども 眞實をもてせず正義をもてせざるなり
Listen to these things, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and who went forth from the waters of Judah. You swear by the name of the Lord and you call to mind the God of Israel, but not in truth, and not in justice.
2 かれらはみづから聖京のものととなへイスラエルの神によりたのめり その名は萬軍のヱホバといふ
For they have been called from the holy city, and they have been founded upon the God of Israel. The Lord of hosts is his name.
3 われ今よりさきに成しことを旣にいにしへより告たり われ口よりいだして旣にのべつたへたり 我にはかにこの事をおこなひ而して成ぬ
From that time, I announced the former things. They went forth from my mouth, and I have caused them to be heard. I wrought these things suddenly, and they were fulfilled.
4 われ汝がかたくなにして項の筋はくろがねその額はあかがねなるを知れり
For I knew that you are stubborn, and that your neck is like an iron sinew, and that your forehead is like brass.
5 このゆゑに我はやくよりかの事をなんぢにつげ その成ざるさきに之をなんぢに聞しめたり 恐くはなんぢ云ん わが偶像これを成せり刻みたるざう鑄たる像これを命じたりと
From that time, I foretold to you. Before these things happened, I revealed them to you, lest you say: “My idols have accomplished these things, and my graven and molten images have commanded them.”
6 なんぢ旣にきけり 凡てこれを視よ 汝ら之をのべつたへざるか われ今より新なる事なんぢが未だしらざりし秘事をなんぢに示さん
See all the things that you have heard. But were you the ones who announced them? From that time, I caused you to hear about new things, and you do not know how these were preserved.
7 これらの事はいま創造せられしにて上古よりありしにあらず この日よりさきに汝これを聞ざりき 然らずば汝いはん視よわれこれを知れりと
They are created now, and not in that time. And even before today, you did not hear of them; otherwise, you might say, “Behold, I knew them.”
8 汝これを聞こともなく知こともなく なんぢの耳はいにしへより開けざりき 我なんぢが欺きあざむきて生れながら悖逆者ととなへられしを知ればなり
You have neither heard, nor known, nor were your ears open in that time. For I knew that you would transgress greatly, and so I called you a transgressor from the womb.
9 わが名のゆゑによりて我いかりを遲くせん わが頌美のゆゑにより我しのびてなんぢを絶滅すことをせじ
For the sake of my name, I will take the face of my fury far away. And for the sake of my praise, I will bridle you, lest you perish.
10 視よわれなんぢを煉たり されど白銀の如くせずして患難の爐をもてこころみたり
Behold, I have refined you, but not like silver. I have chosen you for the furnace of poverty.
11 われ己のため我おのれの爲にこれを成ん われ何でわが名をけがさしむべき 我わが榮光をほかの者にあたることをせじ
For my sake, for my own sake, I will do it, so that I may not be blasphemed. For I will not give my glory to another.
12 ヤコブよわが召たるイスラエルよ われにきけ われは是なり われは始また終なり
Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call. I am the same, I am the first, and I am the last.
13 わが手は地のもとゐを置わが右の手は天をのべたり 我よべば彼等はもろともに立なり
Also, my hand has founded the earth, and my right hand has measured the heavens. I will call them, and they will stand together.
14 汝ら皆あつまりてきけ ヱホバの愛するものヱホバの好みたまふ所をバビロンに成し その腎はカルデヤ人のうへにのぞまん 彼等のうち誰かこれらの事をのべつげしや
Gather together, all of you, and listen. Who among them has announced these things? The Lord has loved him; he will do his will with Babylon, and his arm is upon the Chaldeans.
15 ただ我のみ我かたれり 我かれをめし我かれをきたらせたり その道さかゆべし
I am, I have spoken, and I have called him. I have led him forward, and his way has been straight.
16 なんぢら我にちかよりて之をきけ 我はじめより之をひそかに語りしにあらず その成しときより我はかしこに在り いま主ヱホバわれとその靈とをつかはしたまへり
Draw near to me, and listen to this. From the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the time before it happened, I was there. And now, the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.
17 なんぢの贖主イスラエルの聖者ヱホバかく言給く われはなんぢの神ヱホバなり 我なんぢに益することを敎へ なんぢを導きてそのゆくべき道にゆかしむ
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you beneficial things, who guides you in the way that you walk.
18 願くはなんぢわが命令にききしたがはんことを もし然らばなんぢの平安は河のごとく 汝の義はうみの波のごとく
If only you had paid attention to my commandments! Your peace would have been like a river, and your justice would have been like the waves of the sea,
19 なんぢの裔はすなのごとく 汝の體よりいづる者は細沙のごとくになりて その名はわがまへより絶るることなく亡さるることなからん
and your offspring would have been like the sand, and the stock from your loins would have been like its stones. His name would not have passed away, nor would it have been worn away before my face.
20 なんぢらバビロンより出てカルデヤ人よりのがれよ なんらぢ歡の聲をもてのべきかせ地のはてにいたるまで語りつたへ ヱホバはその僕ヤコブをあがなひ給へりといへ
Depart from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Announce it with a voice of exultation. Cause it to be heard, and carry it even to the ends of the earth. Say: “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob.”
21 ヱホバかれらをして沙漠をゆかしめ給へるとき彼等はかわきたることなかりき ヱホバ彼等のために磐より水をながれしめ また磐をさきたまへば水ほどばしりいでたり
They did not thirst in the desert, when he led them out. He produced water from the rock for them. For he split the rock, and the waters flowed out.
22 ヱホバいひたまはく惡きものには平安あることなし
“There is no peace for the impious,” says the Lord.
