イザヤ書 2
1 アモツの子イザヤがユダとエルサレムについて示された言葉。
The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
2 終りの日に次のことが起る。主の家の山は、もろもろの山のかしらとして堅く立ち、もろもろの峰よりも高くそびえ、すべて国はこれに流れてき、
For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
3 多くの民は来て言う、「さあ、われわれは主の山に登り、ヤコブの神の家へ行こう。彼はその道をわれわれに教えられる、われわれはその道に歩もう」と。律法はシオンから出、主の言葉はエルサレムから出るからである。
And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
4 彼はもろもろの国のあいだにさばきを行い、多くの民のために仲裁に立たれる。こうして彼らはそのつるぎを打ちかえて、すきとし、そのやりを打ちかえて、かまとし、国は国にむかって、つるぎをあげず、彼らはもはや戦いのことを学ばない。
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
5 ヤコブの家よ、さあ、われわれは主の光に歩もう。
And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 あなたはあなたの民ヤコブの家を捨てられた。これは彼らが東の国からの占い師をもって満たし、ペリシテびとのように占い者となり、外国人と同盟を結んだからである。
For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
7 彼らの国には金銀が満ち、その財宝は限りない。また彼らの国には馬が満ち、その戦車も限りない。
For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
8 また彼らの国には偶像が満ち、彼らはその手のわざを拝み、その指で作ったものを拝む。
And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
9 こうして人はかがめられ、人々は低くされる。どうか彼らをおゆるしにならぬように。
And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
10 あなたは岩の間にはいり、ちりの中にかくれて、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避けよ。
Now therefore enter you into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
11 その日には目をあげて高ぶる者は低くせられ、おごる人はかがめられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 これは、万軍の主の一日があって、すべて誇る者と高ぶる者、すべておのれを高くする者と得意な者とに臨むからである。
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
13 またレバノンの高くそびえるすべての香柏、バシャンのすべてのかしの木、
and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
14 またすべての高い山々、すべてのそびえ立つ峰々、
and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
15 すべての高きやぐら、すべての堅固な城壁、
and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
16 タルシシのすべての船、すべての麗しい船舶に臨む。
and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
17 その日には高ぶる者はかがめられ、おごる人は低くせられ、主のみ高くあげられる。
And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 こうして偶像はことごとく滅びうせる。
And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
19 主が立って地を脅かされるとき、人々は岩のほら穴にはいり、また地の穴にはいって、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
20 その日、人々は拝むためにみずから造ったしろがねの偶像と、こがねの偶像とを、もぐらもちと、こうもりに投げ与え、
For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
21 岩のほら穴や、がけの裂け目にはいり、主が立って地を脅かされるとき、主の恐るべきみ前と、その威光の輝きとを避ける。
to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
22 あなたがたは鼻から息の出入りする人に、たよることをやめよ、このような者はなんの価値があろうか。
