< イザヤ書 63 >

1 このエドムよりきたり緋衣をきてボヅラよりきたる者はたれぞ その服飾はなやかに大なる能力をもて嚴しく歩みきたる者はたれぞ これは義をもてかたり大にすくひをほどこす我なり
Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 なんぢの服飾はなにゆゑに赤くなんぢの衣はなにゆゑに酒榨をふむ者とひとしきや
Wherefore are you red in your apparel, and your garments like him that treads in the winepress?
3 我はひとりにて酒榨をふめり もろもろの民のなかに我とともにする者なし われ怒によりて彼等をふみ忿恚によりてかれらを蹈にじりたれば かれらの血わが衣にそそぎわが服飾をことごとく汚したり
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4 そは刑罰の日わが心の中にあり 救贖の歳すでにきたれり
For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 われ見てたすくる者なく扶る者なきを奇しめり この故にわが臂われをすくひ我いきどほり我をささへたり
And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 われ怒によりてもろもろの民をふみおさへ 忿恚によりてかれらを酔しめ かれらの血を地に流れしめたり
And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
7 われはヱホバのわれらに施したまへる各種のめぐみとその譽とをかたりつげ 又その憐憫にしたがひ其おほくの恩惠にしたがひてイスラエルの家にほどこし給ひたる大なる恩寵をかたり告ん
I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8 ヱホバいひたまへり 誠にかれらはわが民なり 虚僞をせざる子輩なりと 斯てヱホバはかれらのために救主となりたまへり
For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
9 かれらの艱難のときはヱホバもなやみ給ひてその面前の使をもて彼等をすくひ その愛とその憐憫とによりて彼等をあがなひ彼等をもたげ昔時の日つねに彼等をいだきたまへり
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 然るにかれらは悖りてその聖靈をうれへしめたる故にヱホバ翻然かれらの仇となりて自らこれを攻たまへり
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 爰にその民いにしへのモーセの日をおもひいでて曰けるは かれらとその群の牧者とを海より携へあげし者はいづこにありや 彼等のなかに聖靈をおきしものは何處にありや
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
12 榮光のかひなをモーセの右にゆかしめ 彼等のまへに水をさきて自らとこしへの名をつくり
That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 彼等をみちびきて馬の野をはしるがごとく躓かで淵をすぎしめたりし者はいづこに在りや
That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 谷にくだる家畜の如くにヱホバの靈かれらをいこはせ給へり 主よなんぢは斯おのれの民をみちびきて榮光の名をつくり給へり
As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
15 ねがはくは天より俯觀なはし その榮光あるきよき居所より見たまへ なんぢの熱心となんぢの大能あるみわざとは今いづこにありや なんぢの切なる仁慈と憐憫とはおさへられて我にあらはれず
Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where is your zeal and your strength, the sounding of your bowels and of your mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 汝はわれらの父なり アブラハムわれらを知ず イスラエルわれらを認めず されどヱホバよ汝はわれらの父なり 上古よりなんぢの名をわれらの贖主といへり
Doubtless you are our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from everlasting.
17 ヱホバよ何故にわれらをなんぢの道より離れまどはしめ我儕のこころを頑固にして汝を畏れざらしめたまふや 願くはなんぢの僕等のためになんぢの產業なる支派のために歸りたまへ
O LORD, why have you made us to go astray from your ways, and hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 汝のきよきたみ地をえて久しからざるにわれらの敵なんぢの聖所をふみにじれり
The people of your holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 我儕はなんぢに上古より治められざる者のごとく なんぢの名をもて稱られざる者のごとくなりぬ
We are yours: you never bare rule over them; they were not called by your name.
