イザヤ書 50
1 ヱホバかくいひ給ふ わがなんぢらの母をさりたる離書はいづこにありや 我いづれの債主になんぢらを賣わたししや 視よなんぢらはその不義のために賣られ なんぢらの母は汝らの咎戻のために去られたり
The LORD says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
2 わがきたりし時なにゆゑ一人もをらざりしや 我よびしとき何故ひとりも答ふるものなかりしや わが手みぢかくして贖ひえざるか われ救ふべき力なからんや 視よわれ叱咤すれば海はかれ河はあれのとなりそのなかの魚は水なきによりかわき死て臭氣をいだすなり
Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
3 われ黑きころもを天にきせ麁布をもて蔽となす
I clothe the heavens with blackness. I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 主ヱホバは敎をうけしものの舌をわれにあたへ言をもて疲れたるものを扶支ふることを知得しめたまふ また朝ごとに醒しわが耳をさまして敎をうけし者のごとく聞ことを得しめたまふ
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 主ヱホバわが耳をひらき給へり われは逆ふことをせず退くことをせざりき
The Lord GOD has opened my ear. I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
6 われを撻つものにわが背をまかせわが鬚をぬくものにわが頬をまかせ 恥と唾とをさくるために面をおほふことをせざりき
I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
7 主ヱホバわれを助けたまはん この故にわれ恥ることなかるべし 我わが面を石の如くして恥しめらるることなきを知る
For the Lord GOD will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed.
8 われを義とするもの近きにあり たれか我とあらそはんや われら相共にたつべし わが仇はたれぞや近づききたれ
He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 主ヱホバわれを助け給はん 誰かわれを罪せんや 視よかれらはみな衣のごとくふるび蠧のためにくひつくされん
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
10 汝等のうちヱホバをおそれその僕の聲をきくものは誰ぞや 暗をあゆみて光をえざるともヱホバの名をたのみおのれの神にたよれ
Who amongst you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in the LORD’s name, and rely on his God.
11 火をおこし火把を帶るものよ汝等みなその火のほのほのなかをあゆめ 又なんぢらの燃したる火把のなかをあゆめ なんぢら斯のごとき事をわが手よりうけて悲みのうちに臥べし
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves, walk in the flame of your fire, and amongst the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: you will lie down in sorrow.
