イザヤ書 1
1 アモツの子イザヤがユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤのときに示されたるユダとヱルサレムとに係る異象
The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 天よきけ地よ耳をかたぶけよ ヱホバの語りたまふ言あり 曰く われ子をやしなひ育てしにかれらは我にそむけり
Listen, O heavens, and pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned me.
3 牛はその主をしり驢馬はそのあるじの厩をしる 然どイスラエルは識ず わが民はさとらず
An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.
4 ああ罪ををかせる國人よこしまを負ふたみ 惡をなす者のすゑ 壞りそこなふ種族 かれらはヱホバをすてイスラエルの聖者をあなどり之をうとみて退きたり
Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.
5 なんぢら何ぞかさねがさね悖りて猶撻れんとするか その頭はやまざる所なくその心はつかれはてたり
For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.
6 足のうらより頭にいたるまで全きところなくただ創痍と打傷と腫物とのみなり 而してこれを合すものなく包むものなく亦あぶらにて軟らぐる者もなし
From the sole of the foot, even to the top of the head, there is no soundness within. Wounds and bruises and swelling sores: these are not bandaged, nor treated with medicine, nor soothed with oil.
7 なんぢらの國はあれすたれなんぢらの諸邑は火にてやかれなんぢらの田畑はその前にて外人にのまれ旣にあだし人にくつがへされて荒廢れたり
Your land is desolate. Your cities have been set ablaze. Foreigners devour your countryside in your sight, and it will become desolate, as if devastated by enemies.
8 シオンの女はぶだうぞのの廬のごとく瓜田の假舎のごとくまた圍をうけたる城のごとく唯ひとり遺れり
And the daughter of Zion will be left behind, like an arbor in a vineyard, and like a shelter in a cucumber field, and like a city being laid to waste.
9 萬軍のヱホバわれらに少しの遺をとどめ給ふことなくば我儕はソドムのごとく又ゴモラに同じかりしならん
If the Lord of hosts had not bequeathed us offspring, we would have been like Sodom, and we would have been comparable to Gomorrah.
10 なんぢらソドムの有司よヱホバの言をきけ なんぢらゴモラの民よ われらの神の律法に耳をかたぶけよ
Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.
11 ヱホバ言たまはくなんぢらが獻ぐるおほくの犠牲はわれに何の益あらんや 我はをひつじの燔祭とこえたるけものの膏とにあけり われは牡牛あるひは小羊あるひは牡山羊の血をよろこばず
The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-goats.
12 なんぢらは我に見えんとてきたる このことを誰がなんぢらに要めしや 徒らにわが庭をふむのみなり
When you approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in my courts?
13 むなしき祭物をふたたび携ふることなかれ 燻物はわがにくむところ 新月および安息日また會衆をよびあつむることも我がにくむところなり なんぢらは聖會に惡を兼ぬ われ容すにたへず
You should no longer offer sacrifice in vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous.
14 わが心はなんぢらの新月と節會とをきらふ 是わが重荷なり われ負にうみたり
My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.
15 我なんぢらが手をのぶるとき目をおほひ 汝等がおほくの祈禱をなすときも聞ことをせじ なんぢらの手には血みちたり
And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of blood.
16 なんぢら己をあらひ己をきよくしわが眼前よりその惡業をさり 惡をおこなふことを止め
Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.
17 善をおこなふことをならひ 公平をもとめ 虐げらるる者をたすけ 孤子に公平をおこなひ 寡婦の訟をあげつらへ
Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.
18 ヱホバいひたまはく 率われらともに論らはん なんぢらの罪は緋のごとくなるも雪のごとく白くなり紅のごとく赤くとも羊の毛のごとくにならん
And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.
19 若なんぢら肯ひしたがはば地の美產をくらふことを得べし
If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.
20 もし汝等こばみそむかば劍にのまるべし 此はヱホバその御口よりかたりたまへるなり
But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
21 忠信なりし邑いかにして妓女とはなれる 昔しは公平にてみち正義その中にやどりしに今は人をころす者ばかりとなりぬ
How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.
22 なんぢの白銀は滓となり なんぢの葡萄酒は水をまじへ
Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.
23 なんぢの長輩はそむきて盗人の伴侶となり おのおの賄賂をよろこび 贓財をおひもとめ 孤子に公平をおこなはず 寡婦の訟はかれらの前にいづること能はず
Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them.
24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの全能者のたまはく 唉われ敵にむかひて念をはらし仇にむかひて報をすべし
Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.
25 我また手をなんぢの上にそへ なんぢの滓をことごとく淨くし なんぢの鉛をすべて取去り
And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.
26 なんぢの審士を舊のごとく なんぢの議官を始のごとくに復すべし 然るのちなんぢは正義の邑忠信の邑ととなへられん
And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, the Faithful City.
27 シオンは公平をもてあがなはれ 歸來るものも正義をもて贖はるべし
Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.
28 されど愆ををかすものと罪人とはともに敗れ ヱホバをすつる者もまた亡びうせん
And he shall crush the accursed and sinners together. And those who have abandoned the Lord will be consumed.
29 なんぢらはその喜びたる橿樹によりて恥をいだき そのえらびたる園によりて慙赧むべし
For they shall be confounded because of the idols, to which they have sacrificed. And you shall be ashamed over the gardens that you chose,
30 なんぢらは葉のかるる橿樹のごとく水なき園のごとくならん
when you were like an oak with falling leaves, and like a garden without water.
31 權勢あるものは麻のごとく その工は火花のごとく 二つのもの一同もえてこれを撲滅すものなし
And your strength will be like the embers from stubble, and your work will be like a spark, and both will burn together, and there will be no one to extinguish it.
