< Isaiah 45 >

1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
われヱホバわが受膏者クロスの右手をとりてもろもろの國をそのまへに降らしめ もろもろの王の腰をとき扉をその前にひらかせて門をとづるものなからしめん
2 I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
われ汝のまへにゆきて崎嶇をたひらかにし 銅の門をこぼち くろがねの關木をたちきるべし
3 And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
われなんぢに暗ところの財貨とひそかなるところに藏せるたからとを予へ なんぢに我はヱホバなんぢの名をよべるイスラエルの神なるを知しめん
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
わが僕ヤコブわが撰みたるイスラエルのために我なんぢの名をよべり 汝われを知ずといへどわれ名をなんぢに賜ひたり
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
われはヱホバなり 我のほかに神なし 一人もなし 汝われをしらずといへども我なんぢを固うせん
6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
而して日のいづるところより西のかたまで人々我のほかに神なしと知べし 我はヱホバなり他にひとりもなし
7 I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
われは光をつくり又くらきを創造す われは平和をつくりまた禍害をさうざうす 我はヱホバなり 我すべてこれらの事をなすなり
8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
天ようへより滴らすべし 雲よ義をふらすべし 地はひらけて救を生じ義をもともに萌いだすべし われヱホバ之を創造せり
9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
世人はすゑものの中のひとつの陶器なるに己をつくれる者とあらそふはわざはひなるかな 泥塊はすゑものつくりにむかひて汝なにを作るかといふべけんや 又なんぢの造りたる者なんぢを手なしといふべけんや
10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
父にむかひて汝なにゆゑに生むことをせしやといひ 婦にむかひて汝なにゆゑに產のくるしみをなししやといふ者はわざはひなるかな
11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
ヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者イスラエルを造れるもの如此いひたまふ 後きたらんとすることを我にとへ またわが子女とわが手の工とにつきて汝等われに言せよ
12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
われ地をつくりてそのうへに人を創造せり われ自らの手をもて天をのべ その萬象をさだめたり
13 I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
われ義をもて彼のクロスを起せり われそのすべての道をなほくせん 彼はわが邑をたてわが俘囚を價のためならず報のためならずして釋すべし これ萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
14 Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
ヱホバ如此いひたまふ エジプトがはたらきて得しものとエテオピアがあきなひて得しものとはなんぢの有とならん また身のたけ高きセバ人きたりくだりて汝にしたがひ繩につながれて降り なんぢのまへに伏しなんぢに祈りていはん まことに神はなんぢの中にいませり このほかに神なし一人もなしと
15 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
救をほどこし給ふイスラエルの神よ まことに汝はかくれています神なり
16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
偶像をつくる者はみな恥をいだき辱かしめをうけ諸共にはぢあわてて退かん
17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
されどイスラエルはヱホバにすくはれて永遠の救をえん なんぢらは世々かぎりなく恥をいだかず辱かしめをうけじ
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
ヱホバは天を創造したまへる者にしてすなはち神なり また地をもつくり成てこれを堅くし徒然にこれを創造し給はず これを人の住所につくり給へり ヱホバかく宣給ふ われはヱホバなり我のほかに神あることなしと
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
われは隱れたるところ地のくらき所にてかたらず 我はヤコブの裔になんぢらが我をたづぬるは徒然なりといはず 我ヱホバはただしき事をかたり直きことを告ぐ
20 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
汝等もろもろの國より脱れきたれる者よ つどひあつまり共にすすみききたれ 木の像をになひ救ふことあたはざる神にいのりするものは無智なるなり
21 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
なんぢらその道理をもちきたりて述よ また共にはかれ 此事をたれか上古より示したりや 誰かむかしより告たりしや 此はわれヱホバならずや 我のほかに神あることなし われは義をおこなひ救をほどこす神にして我のほかに神あることなし
22 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
地の極なるもろもろの人よ なんぢら我をあふぎのぞめ然ばすくはれん われは神にして他に神なければなり
23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
われは己をさして誓ひたり この言はただしき口よりいでたれば反ることなし すべての膝はわがまへに屈み すべての舌はわれに誓をたてん
24 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
人われに就ていはん正義と力とはヱホバにのみありと 人々ヱホバにきたらん すべてヱホバにむかひて怒るものは恥をいだくべし
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
イスラエルの裔はヱホバによりて義とせられ且ほこらん
