イザヤ書 6
1 ウジヤ王のしにたる年われ高くあがれる御座にヱホバの坐し給ふを見しにその衣裾は殿にみちたり
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 セラピムその上にたつ おのおの六の翼あり その二をもて面をおほひ その二をもて足をおほひ 其二をもて飛翔り
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 たがひに呼いひけるは聖なるかな聖なるかな聖なるかな萬軍のヱホバ その榮光は全地にみつ
One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 斯よばはる者の聲によりて閾のもとゐ搖うごき家のうちに煙みちたり
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 このとき我いへり 禍ひなるかな我ほろびなん 我はけがれたる唇の民のなかにすみて穢たるくちびるの者なるに わが眼ばんぐんのヱホバにまします王を見まつればなりと
Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live amongst a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Armies!”
6 爰にかのセラピムのひとり鉗をもて壇の上よりとりたる熱炭を手にたづさへて我にとびきたり
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 わが口に觸ていひけるは 視よこの火なんぢの唇にふれたれば旣になんぢの惡はのぞかれ なんぢの罪はきよめられたりと
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8 我またヱホバの聲をきく曰く われ誰をつかはさん誰かわれらのために往べきかと そのとき我いひけるはわれ此にあり我をつかはしたまへ
I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
9 ヱホバいひたまはく往てこの民にかくのごとく告よ なんぢら聞てきけよ然どさとらざるべし 見てみよ然どしらざるべしと
He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
10 なんぢこの民のこころを鈍くしその耳をものうくし その眼をおほへ 恐らくは彼らその眼にて見その耳にてきき その心にてさとり翻へりて醫さるることあらん
Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”
11 ここに我いひけるは 主よいつまで如此あらんか 主こたへたまはく 邑はあれすたれて住むものなく 家に人なく 邦ことごとく荒土となり
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
12 人々ヱホバに遠方までうつされ 廢りたるところ國中におほくならん時まで 如此あるべし
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
13 そのなかに十分の一のこる者あれども此もまた呑つくされん されど聖裔のこりてこの地の根となるべし彼のテレビントまたは橿樹がきらるることありともその根ののこるがごとし
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
