イザヤ書 51
1 義をおひ求めヱホバを尋ねもとむるものよ我にきけ なんぢらが斫出されたる磐となんぢらの掘出されたる穴とをおもひ見よ
Listen to me, you who follow what is just and who seek the Lord. Pay attention to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the walls of the pit from which you have been dug.
2 なんぢらの父アブラハム及びなんぢらを生たるサラをおもひ見よ われ彼をその唯一人なりしときに召しこれを祝してその子孫をまし加へたり
Pay attention to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you. For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and I multiplied him.
3 そはヱホバ、シオンを慰め またその凡てあれたる所をなぐさめて その荒野をエデンのごとくその沙漠をヱホバの園のごとくなしたまへり 斯てその中によろこびと歡樂とあり感謝とうたうたふ聲とありてきこゆ
Therefore, the Lord will console Zion, and he will console all its ruins. And he will turn her desert into a place of delights, and her wilderness into a garden of the Lord. Gladness and rejoicing will be found in her, thanksgiving and a voice of praise.
4 わが民よわが言にこころをとめよ わが國人よわれに耳をかたぶけよ 律法はわれより出づ われわが途をかたく定めてもろもろの民の光となさん
Pay attention to me, my people, and listen to me, my tribes. For a law will go forth from me, and my judgment will rest as a light for the nations.
5 わが義はちかづきわが救はすでに出たり わが臂はもろもろの民をさばかん もろもろの島はわれを俟望み わがかひなに依賴ん
My just one is near. My savior has gone forth. And my arms will judge the people. The islands will hope in me, and they will patiently wait for my arm.
6 なんぢら目をあげて天を觀また下なる地をみよ 天は烟のごとくきえ地は衣のごとくふるびその中にすむ者これとひとしく死ん されどわが救はとこしへにながらへ わが義はくだくることなし
Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth below. For the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will be worn away like a garment, and its inhabitants will pass away in like manner. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will not fail.
7 義をしるものよ心のうちにわが律法をたもつ民よ われにきけ 人のそしりをおそるるなかれ人のののしりに慴くなかれ
Listen to me, you who know what is just, my people who have my law in their heart. Do not be afraid of disgrace among men, and do not dread their blasphemies.
8 そはかれら衣のごとく蠧にはまれ羊の毛のごとく蟲にはまれん されどわが義はとこしへに存らへ わがすくひ萬代におよぶべし
For the worm will consume them like a garment, and the moth will devour them like wool. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will be from generation to generation.
9 さめよ醒よヱホバの臂よちからを着よ さめて古への時むかしの代にありし如くなれ ラハブをきりころし鱷をさしつらぬきたるは汝にあらずや
Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O arm of the Lord! Rise up as in the days of antiquity, as in generations long past. Have you not struck the arrogant one and wounded the dragon?
10 海をかわかし大なる淵の水をかわかし また海のふかきところを贖はれたる人のすぐべき路となししは汝にあらずや
Have not you dried up the sea, the waters of the great abyss, and turned the depths of the sea into a road, so that the delivered could cross over it?
11 ヱホバに贖ひすくはれしもの歌うたひつつ歸りてシオンにきたり その首にとこしへの歡喜をいただきて快樂とよろこびとをえん 而してかなしみと歎息とはにげさるべし
And now, those who have been redeemed by the Lord will return. And they will arrive in Zion, praising. And everlasting rejoicing will be upon their heads. They will take hold of gladness and rejoicing. Anguish and mourning will flee away.
12 我こそ我なんぢらを慰むれ 汝いかなる者なれば死べき人をおそれ草の如くなるべき人の子をおそるるか
It is I, I myself, who will console you. Who are you that you would be afraid of a mortal man, and of a son of man, who will wither like the grass?
13 いかなれば天をのべ地の基をすゑ汝をつくりたまへるヱホバを忘れしや 何なれば汝をほろぼさんとて豫備する虐ぐるものの憤れるをみて常にひねもす懼るるか 虐ぐるものの忿恚はいづこにありや
And have you forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who extended the heavens, and who founded the earth? And have you been in constant dread, all day long, at the face of his fury, of the one who afflicted you and who had prepared to destroy you? Where is the fury of the oppressor now?
14 身をかがめゐる俘囚はすみやかに解れて 死ることなく穴にくだることなく その食はつくること無るべし
Advancing quickly, he will arrive to be revealed, and he will not kill unto utter destruction, nor will his bread fail.
15 我は海をふるはせ波をなりどよめかする汝の神ヱホバなり その御名を萬軍のヱホバといふ
But I am the Lord, your God, who stirs up the sea, and who makes the waves swell. The Lord of hosts is my name.
16 我わが言をなんぢの口におきわが手のかげにて汝をおほへり かくてわれ天をうゑ地の基をすゑ シオンにむかひて汝はわが民なりといはん
I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have protected you in the shadow of my hand, so that you might plant the heavens, and found the earth, and so that you might say to Zion, “You are my people.”
17 ヱルサレムよさめよさめよ起よ なんぢ前にヱホバの手よりその忿恚のさかづきをうけて飮み よろめかす大杯をのみ且すひほしたり
Lift up, Lift up! Arise, O Jerusalem! You drank, from the hand of the Lord, the cup of his wrath. You drank, even to the bottom of the cup of deep sleep. And you were given to drink, all the way to the dregs.
18 なんぢの生るもろもろの子のなかに汝をみちびく者なく 汝のそだてたるもろもろの子の中にてなんぢの手をたづさふる者なし
There is no one who can uphold her, out of all the sons whom she has conceived. And there is no one who would take her by the hand, out of all the sons whom she has raised.
19 この二のこと汝にのぞめり誰かなんぢのために歎んや 荒廢の饑饉ほろびの劍なんぢに及べり我いかにして汝をなぐさめんや
There are two things which have happened to you. Who will be saddened over you? There is devastation and destruction, and famine and sword. Who will console you?
20 なんぢの子らは息たえだえにして網にかかれる羚羊のごとくし街衢の口にふす ヱホバの忿恚となんぢの神のせめとはかれらに滿たり
Your sons have been cast out. They have slept at the head of all the roads, and they have been ensnared like a gazelle. They have been filled by the indignation of the Lord, by the rebuke of your God.
21 このゆゑに苦しめるもの酒にあらで酔たるものよ之をきけ
Therefore, listen to this, O poor little ones, and you who have been inebriated, but not by wine.
22 なんぢの主ヱホバおのが民の訟をあげつらひ給ふ なんぢの神かくいひ給ふ 我よろめかす酒杯をなんぢの手より取除き わがいきどほりの大杯をとりのぞきたり 汝ふたたびこれを飮ことあらじ
Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, and your God, who will fight on behalf of his people: Behold, I have taken the cup of deep sleep from your hand. You shall no longer drink from the bottom of the cup of my indignation.
23 我これを汝をなやますものの手にわたさん 彼らは曩になんぢの靈魂にむかひて云らく なんぢ伏せよわれら越ゆかんと 而してなんぢその背を地のごとくし衢のごとくし彼等のこえゆくに任せたり
And I will set it in the hand of those who have humiliated you, and who have said to your soul: “Bow down, so that we pass over.” And you placed your body on the ground, as a path for them to pass over.
