イザヤ書 11

1 エッサイの株から一つの芽が出、その根から一つの若枝が生えて実を結び、

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 その上に主の霊がとどまる。これは知恵と悟りの霊、深慮と才能の霊、主を知る知識と主を恐れる霊である。

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

3 彼は主を恐れることを楽しみとし、その目の見るところによって、さばきをなさず、その耳の聞くところによって、定めをなさず、

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4 正義をもって貧しい者をさばき、公平をもって国のうちの柔和な者のために定めをなし、その口のむちをもって国を撃ち、そのくちびるの息をもって悪しき者を殺す。

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5 正義はその腰の帯となり、忠信はその身の帯となる。

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

6 おおかみは小羊と共にやどり、ひょうは子やぎと共に伏し、子牛、若じし、肥えたる家畜は共にいて、小さいわらべに導かれ、

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatted calf together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 雌牛と熊とは食い物を共にし、牛の子と熊の子と共に伏し、ししは牛のようにわらを食い、

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 乳のみ子は毒蛇のほらに戯れ、乳離れの子は手をまむしの穴に入れる。

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

9 彼らはわが聖なる山のどこにおいても、そこなうことなく、やぶることがない。水が海をおおっているように、主を知る知識が地に満ちるからである。

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

10 その日、エッサイの根が立って、もろもろの民の旗となり、もろもろの国びとはこれに尋ね求め、その置かれる所に栄光がある。

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

11 その日、主は再び手を伸べて、その民の残れる者をアッスリヤ、エジプト、パテロス、エチオピヤ、エラム、シナル、ハマテおよび海沿いの国々からあがなわれる。

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 主は国々のために旗をあげて、イスラエルの追いやられた者を集め、ユダの散らされた者を地の四方から集められる。

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 エフライムのねたみはうせ、ユダを悩ます者は断たれ、エフライムはユダをねたまず、ユダはエフライムを悩ますことはない。

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14 しかし彼らは西の方ペリシテびとの肩に襲いかかり、相共に東の民をかすめ、その手をエドムおよびモアブに伸べ、アンモンの人々をおのれに従わせる。

But they shall fly on the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

15 主はエジプトの海の舌をからし、川の上に手を振って熱い風を吹かせ、その川を打って七つの川となし、くつをぬらさないで渡らせられる。

And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over with dry sandals.

16 その民の残れる者のためにアッスリヤからの大路があり、昔イスラエルがエジプトの国から上ってきた時にあったようになる。

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
