イザヤ書 8
1 ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは一の大なる牌をとり そのうへに平常の文字にてマヘル シャラル ハシ バズと録せ
Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
2 われ信實の證者なる祭司ウリヤおよびエベレキヤの子ゼカリヤをもてその證をなさしむ
I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 われ預言者の妻にちかづきしとき彼はらみて子をうみければ ヱホバ我にいひたまはく その名をマヘル シャラル ハシ バズと稱へよ
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 そはこの子いまだ我が父わが母とよぶことを知らざるうちに ダマスコの富とサマリヤの財寳はうばはれてアツスリヤ王のまへに到るべければなり
For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 ヱホバまた重て我につげたまへり云く
Yahweh spoke to me again,
6 この民はゆるやかに流るるシロアの水をすててレヂンとレマリヤの子とをよろこぶ
“Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
7 此によりて主はいきほひ猛くみなぎりわたる大河の水をかれらのうへに堰入たまはん 是はアツスリヤ王とそのもろもろの威勢とにして 百の支流にはびこり もろもろの岸をこえ
therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
8 ユダにながれいり 溢れひろごりてその項にまで及ばん インマヌエルよ そののぶる翼はあまねくなんぢの地にみちわたらん
The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
9 もろもろの民よ さばめき騒げなんぢら摧かるべし 遠きくにぐにの者よ きけ 腰におびせよ 汝等くだかるべし 腰に帶せよ なんぢら摧かるべし
You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
10 なんぢら互にはかれ つひに徒勞ならん なんぢら言をいだせ遂におこなはれじ そは神われらとともに在せばなり
Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, for God is with us.
11 ヱホバつよき手をもて此如われに示し この民の路にあゆまざらんことを我にさとして言給はく
Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
12 此民のすべて叛逆ととなふるところの者をなんぢら叛逆ととなふるなかれ 彼等のおそるるところを汝等おそるるなかれ慴くなかれ
Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
13 なんぢらはただ萬軍のヱホバを聖としてこれを畏みこれを恐るべし
It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
14 然らばヱホバはきよき避所となりたまはん 然どイスラエルの兩の家には躓く石となり妨ぐる磐とならん ヱルサレムの民には網罟となり機濫とならん
He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
15 おほくの人々これによりて蹶きかつ仆れやぶれ 網せられまた捕へらるべし
Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
16 證詞をつかね律法をわが弟子のうちに封べし
Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
17 いま面をおほひてヤコブの家をかへりみ給はずといへども 我そのヱホバを待そのヱホバを望みまつらん
I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in him.
18 視よわれとヱホバが我にたまひたる子輩とはイスラエルのうちの豫兆なり奇しき標なり 此はシオンの山にいます萬軍のヱホバの與へたまふ所なり
See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 もし人なんぢらにつげて巫女および魔術者のさえづるがごとく細語がごとき者にもとめよといはば民はおのれの神にもとむべきにあらずや いかで活者のために死者にもとむることを爲んといへ
They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 ただ律法と證詞とを求むべし 彼等のいふところ此言にかなはずば晨光あらじ
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
21 かれら國をへあるきて苦みうゑん その饑るとき怒をはなち己が王おのが神をさして誼ひかつその面をうへに向ん
They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
22 また地をみれば艱難と幽暗とくるしみの闇とあり かれらは昏黑におひやられん
They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
