イザヤ書 65
1 我はわれを求めざりしものに問もとめられ 我をたづねざりしものに見出され わが名をよばざりし國にわれ曰らく われは此にあり我はここに在と
Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, “Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.
2 善らぬ途をあゆみおのが思念にしたがふ悖れる民をひねもす手をのべて招けり
I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
3 この民はまのあたり恒にわが怒をひき 園のうちにて犠牲をささげ 瓦の壇にて香をたき
to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
4 墓のあひだにすわり隱密なる處にやどり 猪の肉をくらひ憎むべきものの羹をその器皿にもりて
They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
5 人にいふなんぢ其處にたちて我にちかづくなかれ そは我なんぢよりも聖しと 彼らはわが鼻のけぶり終日もゆる火なり
They say: “Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!” Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
6 視よこの事わが前にしるされたり われ默さずして報いかへすべし 必ずかれらの懷中に報いかへすべし
Behold, it has been written in my sight; I will not be silent. Instead, I will render retribution into their sinews.
7 ヱホバいひ給く なんぢらの邪曲となんぢらが列祖のよこしまとはともに報いかへすべし かれらは山上にて香をたき岡のうへにて我を汚ししがゆゑに 我まづその作をはかりてその懷中にかへすべし
Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. For they have sacrificed upon the mountains, and they have offended me upon the hills. And so, I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.
8 ヱホバ如此いひたまふ 人ぶだうのなかに汁あるを見ばいはん これを壞るなかれ福祉その中にあればなりと 我わが僕等のために如此おこなひてことごとくは壞らじ
Thus says the Lord: In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster, “Do not destroy it, because it is a blessing,” so will I act for the sake of my servants, so that I may not destroy the whole.
9 ヤコブより一裔をいだしユダよりわれ山々をうけつぐべき者をいださん わが撰みたる者はこれをうけつぎ我がしもべらは彼處にすむべし
And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob, and a possessor of my mountains from Judah. And my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall live there.
10 シヤロンは羊のむれの牧場となりアコルの谷はうしの群のふす所となりて我をたづねもとめたるわが民の有とならん
And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks, and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds, for my people who have sought me.
11 然どなんぢらヱホバを棄わがきよき山をわすれ 机をガド(禍福の神)にそなへ雜合せたる酒をもりてメニ(運命の神)にささぐる者よ
And you who have forsaken the Lord, who have forgotten my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who offer libations concerning her:
12 われ汝らを劍にわたすべく定めたり なんぢらは皆かがみて屠らるべし 汝等はわが呼しときこたへず わが語りしとききかず わが目にあしき事をおこなひ わが好まざりし事をえらみたればなり
I will number you with the sword, and you will all fall by slaughter. For I called and you did not respond; I spoke, and you did not listen. And you did what is evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, you have chosen.
13 このゆゑに主ヱホバかく言給ふ わが僕等はくらへども汝等はうゑ わが僕等はのめども汝等はかわき 我しもべらは喜べどもなんぢらははぢ
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, my servants will eat, and you will be hungry. Behold, my servants will drink, and you will be thirsty.
14 わが僕等はこころ樂きによりて歌うたへども汝等はこころ哀きによりて叫び また靈魂うれふるによりて泣嗁ぶべし
Behold, my servants will rejoice, and you will be confounded. Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart, and you will cry out in sorrow of heart, and you will wail in contrition of spirit.
15 なんぢらが遺名はわが撰みたるものの呪詛の料とならん 主ヱホバなんぢらを殺したまはん 然どおのれの僕等をほかの名をもて呼たまふべし
And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse. And the Lord God will put you to death, and he will call his servants by another name.
16 斯るがゆゑに地にありて己のために福祉をねがふものは眞實の神にむかひて福祉をもとめ 地にありて誓ふものは眞實の神をさして誓ふべし さきの困難は忘れられてわが目よりかくれ失たるに因る
By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God. Amen! And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God. Amen! For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion, and they have been hidden from my eyes.
17 視よわれ新しき天とあたらしき地とを創造す 人さきのものを記念することなく之をその心におもひ出ることなし
For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth. And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.
18 然どなんぢらわが創造する者によりて永遠にたのしみよろこべ 視よわれはヱルサレムを造りてよろこびとしその民を快樂とす
But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation, and its people as a joy.
19 われヱルサレムを喜びわが民をたのしまん 而して泣聲とさけぶ聲とはふたたびその中にきこえざるべし
And I will exult in Jerusalem, and I will rejoice in my people. And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.
20 日數わづかにして死る嬰兒といのちの日をみたさざる老人とはその中にまたあることなかるべし 百歳にて死るものも尚わかしとせられ 百歳にて死るものを詛れたる罪人とすべし
There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there, nor an elder who does not complete his days. For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age, and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.
21 かれら家をたてて之にすみ葡萄園をつくりてその果をくらふべし
And they will build houses, and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards, and will eat their fruits.
22 かれらが建るところにほかの人すまず かれらが造るところの果はほかの人くらはず そはわが民のいのちは樹の命の如く 我がえらみたる者はその手の工ふるびうするとも存ふべければなり
They will not build, so that another may inhabit. They will not plant, so that another may eat. For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people. And the works of their hands will be long-standing.
23 かれらの勤勞はむなしからず その生ところの者はわざはひにかからず 彼等はヱホバの福祉をたまひしものの裔にしてその子輩もあひ共にをる可ればなり
My elect will not labor in vain, and they will not bring forth in disorder. For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their posterity are with them.
24 かれらが呼ざるさきにわれこたへ 彼らが語りをへざるに我きかん
And this shall be: before they call out, I will perceive; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 豺狼とこひつじと食物をともにし 獅は牛のごとく藁をくらひ 蛇はちりを糧とすべし 斯てわが聖山のいづこにても害ふことなく傷ることなからん これヱホバの聖言なり
The wolf and the lamb will pasture together. The lion and the ox will eat hay. And dust will be the food of the serpent. They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
