イザヤ書 10

1 不義のおきてをさだめ暴虐のことばを録すものは禍ひなるかな

Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression,

2 かれらは乏きものの訴をうけず わが民のなかの貧しきものの權利をはぎ寡婦の資產をうばひ孤兒のものを掠む

to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 なんぢら懲しめらるる日きたらば何をなさんとするか 敗壞とほきより來らんとき何をなさんとするか なんぢら逃れゆきて誰にすくひを求めんとするか また何處になんぢらの榮をのこさんとするか

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction [which] shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory?

4 ただ縛められたるものの下にかがみ 殺されたるもののしたに伏仆れんのみ 然はあれどヱホバのいかり止ずして尚ほその手をのばしたまふ

They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

5 咄アツスリヤ人 なんぢはわが怒の杖なり その手の笞はわが忿恚なり

Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

6 われ彼をつかはして邪曲なる國をせめ我かれに命じて我がいかれる民をせめてその所有をかすめその財寶をうばはしめ かれらを街の泥のごとくに蹂躪らしめん

I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge; to take the spoil, and to seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 されどアツスリヤ人のこころざしは斯のごとくならず その心の念もまた斯のごとくならず そのこころは敗壞をこのみ あまたの國をほろぼし絶ん

But he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few.

8 かれ云 わが諸侯はみな王にあらずや

For he saith, Are not my princes all kings?

9 カルノはカルケミシの如く ハマテはアルパデの如く サマリヤはダマスコの如きにあらずや

Is not Calno as Karkemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 わが手は偶像につかふる國々を得たり その彫たる像はヱルサレムおよびサマリヤのものに勝れたり

As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, — and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

11 われ旣にサマリヤとその偶像とに行へるごとく亦ヱルサレムとその偶像とにおこなはざる可んやと

— shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her images?

12 このゆゑに主いひたまふ 我シオンの山とヱルサレムとに爲んとする事をことごとく遂をはらんとき 我アツスリヤ王のおごれる心の實とその高ぶり仰ぎたる眼とを罰すべし

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

13 そは彼いへらく われ手の力と智慧とによりて之をなせり 我はかしこし 國々の境をのぞき その獲たるものをうばひ 又われは丈夫にしてかの位に坐するものを下したり

For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit [on thrones];

14 わが手もろもろの民のたからを得たりしは巣をとるが如く また天が下を取收めたりしは遺しすてたる卵をとりあつむるが如くなりき あるひは翼をうごかし あるひは口をひらき あるひは喃々する者もなかりしなりと

and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.

15 斧はこれをもちゐて伐ものにむかひて己みづから誇ることをせんや 鋸は これを動かす者にむかひて己みづから高ぶることをせんや 此はあだかも笞がおのれを擧るものを動かし杖みづから木にあらざるものを擧んとするにひとし

— Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift up [him who is] not wood!

16 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバは肥たるものを瘠しめ 且その榮光のしたに火のもゆるが如き火焰をおこし給はん

Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire:

17 イスラエルの光は火のごとく その聖者はほのほの如くならん 斯て一日のうちに荊とおどろとを燒ほろぼし

and the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars in one day,

18 又かの林と土肥たる田圃の榮をうせしめ 靈魂をも身をもうせしめて病るものの衰へたるが如くなさん

and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth.

19 かつ林のうちに殘れる木わづかにして童子も算へうるが如くになるべし

And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them.

20 その日イスラエルの遺れる者とヤコブの家ののがれたる者とは再びおのれを撃し者にたよらず誠意をもてイスラエルの聖者ヱホバにたよらん

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 その遺れるものヤコブの遺れるものは大能の神にかへるべし

The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

22 ああイスラエルよ なんぢの民は海の沙のごとしといへども遺りて歸りきたる者はただ僅少ならん そは敗壞すでにさだまり義にて溢るべければなり

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness.

23 主萬軍のヱホバの定めたまへる敗壞はこれを徧く國内におこなひ給ふべし

For a consumption, and [one] determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land.

24 このゆゑに主萬軍のヱホバいひたまはく シオンに住るわが民よアツスリヤ人エジプトの例にならひ笞をもて汝をうち杖をあげて汝をせむるとも懼るるなかれ

Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt:

25 ただ頃刻にして忿恚はやまん 我がいかりは彼等をほろぼして息ん

for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.

26 萬軍のヱホバむかしミデアン人をオレブの巖のあたりにて撃たまひしごとくに禍害をおこして之をせめ 又その杖を海のうへに伸しエジプトの例にしたがひてこれを擧たまはん

And Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod [shall be] upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 その日かれの重荷はなんぢの肩より下 かれの軛はなんぢの頸よりはなれ その軛はあぶらの故をもて壞れん

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ...

28 かれアイにきたりミグロンを過ミクマシにてその輜重をとどめ

He is come to Aiath, he hath passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage.

29 渡口をすぎてゲバに宿る ここに於てラマはをののきサウルギべア人は逃れはしれり

They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 ガリムの女よなんぢ聲をあげて叫べ ライシよ耳をかたぶけて聽け アナトテよなんぢも聲をあげよ

Lift up thy voice, daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! — Poor Anathoth!

31 マデメナはさすらひゲビムの民はのがれ走れり

Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.

32 この日かれノブに立とどまり シオンのむすめの山ヱルサレムの岡にむかひて手をふりたり

Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ...

33 主ばんぐんのヱホバは雄々しくたけびてその枝を斷たまはん 丈高きものは伐おとされ聳えたる者はひくくせらるべし

Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low;

34 また銕をもて茂りあふ林をきり給はん レバノンは能力あるものに倒さるべし

and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
