イザヤ書 14
Japanese Living Bible
14 しかし主は、イスラエル人にはあわれみをかけます。彼らが特別の民であることに変わりはないからです。主は彼らを連れ戻し、再びイスラエルに住まわせます。多くの国が彼らと手を結び、忠実な同盟軍となります。 2 世界中の国々が彼らの帰国を助け、イスラエルに移住した外国人は彼らに仕えます。イスラエル人を奴隷にした者は、逆に奴隷となります。こうしてイスラエルは、かつての敵を支配するようになるのです。
3 主がご自分の民から悲しみや恐れを取り除き、奴隷の鎖から解放して休息を与えるとき、 4 あなたがたはバビロンの王をあざけって、こう言います。
「弱い者をしいたげる者よ、
とうとう、おまえに起こるはずのことが起こった。
5 主がおまえの力と支配を打ち砕いたのだ。」
6 あなたはイスラエルを怒りにまかせて迫害し、
国々を牛耳り、圧制をほしいままにしてきました。
7 やっと今、全地は安らかに憩い、
静けさを取り戻しました。
世界中の人々の口に喜びの歌が上りました。
8 糸杉やレバノン杉のような森の木さえ、
うれしそうに声を張り上げて歌います。
「バビロンは力を失った。もうだれにも煩わされない。
平和が来たのだ。」
9 あなたが地獄の門に着くと、
そこの住民はこぞって迎えに出ます。
以前に死んだ世界の指導者や大王たちも会いに来て、
10 声をそろえて叫びます。
「とうとう、おまえも私たちと同じように
弱くなってしまったのか。」
11 あなたの権力は失われ、あなたとともに葬られます。
あなたの宮殿で聞かれた華やかな音楽もとだえ、
うじがあなたの敷布のように下に敷かれ、
虫けらが毛布になってしまいました。
12 暁の子、ルシファー（天使）よ、
どうしてあなたは天から落ちたのか。
世界に並ぶ者のない権力者だったのに、
どうして切り倒されたのか。
13 それは、心の中でこう言ったからです。
「天に上り、最高の王座について、
御使いたちを支配しよう。
14 最も高い天に上って、全能の神のようになろう。」
15 だがあなたは地獄の深い穴に落とされ、
しかもどん底まで突き落とされます。
16 そこにいる者はみな、
あなたをまじまじと見つめて言うでしょう。
「ほんとうにこの人が、
世界中の王国を縮み上がらせた人なのか。
17 全世界を足の踏み場もないまでに破壊し尽くし、
大都市を瓦礫の山とし、
捕虜に少しもあわれみをかけなかった人か。」
18 国々の王は、りっぱな墓に手厚く葬られています。
19 しかしあなたの体は、
折られた枝のように放り出されるだけです。
戦場で殺された兵士の死体といっしょに、
口を開いたままの墓に投げ込まれ、
道ばたに転がる死体のように、馬のひづめにかかり、
無残に引き裂かれます。
20 自分の国を滅ぼし、自分の民を殺したのだから、
記念碑は建てられず、
あなたの子は王位を継ぐことができません。
21 この罪人の子どもたちは刀にかけて殺しなさい。
もう二度と立ち直れず、世界を征服せず、
町を建てることがないようにするのです。
22 「わたしは立ち上がって彼に刃向かい、彼の子どもと孫を切り殺し、誰ひとり王座につかせない。 23 わたしはバビロンを湿地と沼に囲まれた、針ねずみの住む荒れ地にする。この地を滅亡というほうきで一掃する」と、天の軍勢の主は断言します。
24 主は誓って言いました。そうすることが神の目的であり計画だからです。
25 「わたしは、イスラエルに攻め込んだアッシリヤ軍を
打ち破り、わたしの山で踏みつけることに決めた。
わたしの民は二度と彼らの奴隷にならない。
26 これが全地に対するわたしの計画だ。
わたしは、世界のすみずみにまで及ぶ
全能の力によってこの計画を実現する。」
27 主が取り決めた計画をだれが変更できるでしょう。
いったん動きだした神の御手は、だれも止められません。
ペリシテ人についての預言
28 これは、アハズ王が死んだ年に私に臨んだ、神のことばです。
29 「ペリシテ人よ、おまえを打った王が
死んだからといって、喜んではならない。
なるほど、あの杖は折れた。
だが、息子は父以上の災難をもたらす。
蛇からまむしが生まれ、おまえをかみ殺すのだ。
30 わたしの民のうちの貧しい者は、
わたし自身が羊飼いになって養う。
わたしの牧場で草を食べさせ、
生活に困っている者にも心配はさせない。
だが、おまえたちは別だ。
わたしはおまえたちを飢えと剣で一掃する。
31 ペリシテの町々よ、大声で泣き叫べ。
おまえたちの運命は決まっている。国は滅ぶのだ。
北から鍛え抜かれた軍隊が攻めて来る。」
32 外国には、どう知らせたらよいでしょうか。
「神はすでにエルサレムの土台を築き、
貧しい民を城壁内にかくまうことに決定した、
と伝えておけばよい。」
Isaiah 14
New International Version
Isaiah 14
New International Version
14 The Lord will have compassion(A) on Jacob;
once again he will choose(B) Israel
and will settle them in their own land.(C)
Foreigners(D) will join them
and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
2 Nations will take them
and bring(E) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(F)
and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(G) of their captors
and rule over their oppressors.(H)
3 On the day the Lord gives you relief(I) from your suffering and turmoil(J) and from the harsh labor forced on you,(K) 4 you will take up this taunt(L) against the king of Babylon:(M)
How the oppressor(N) has come to an end!
How his fury[a] has ended!
5 The Lord has broken the rod(O) of the wicked,(P)
the scepter(Q) of the rulers,
6 which in anger struck down peoples(R)
with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued(S) nations
with relentless aggression.(T)
7 All the lands are at rest and at peace;(U)
they break into singing.(V)
8 Even the junipers(W) and the cedars of Lebanon
gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
no one comes to cut us down.”(X)
9 The realm of the dead(Y) below is all astir
to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed(Z) to greet you—
all those who were leaders(AA) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
all those who were kings over the nations.(AB)
10 They will all respond,
they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
you have become like us.”(AC)
11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(AD)
along with the noise of your harps;(AE)
maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms(AF) cover you.(AG)
12 How you have fallen(AH) from heaven,
morning star,(AI) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!(AJ)
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend(AK) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(AL)
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(AM)
on the utmost heights(AN) of Mount Zaphon.[b]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(AO)
I will make myself like the Most High.”(AP)
15 But you are brought down(AQ) to the realm of the dead,(AR)
to the depths(AS) of the pit.(AT)
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:(AU)
“Is this the man who shook(AV) the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,(AW)
who overthrew(AX) its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”(AY)
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
each in his own tomb.(AZ)
19 But you are cast out(BA) of your tomb
like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(BB)
with those pierced by the sword,(BC)
those who descend to the stones of the pit.(BD)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20 you will not join them in burial,(BE)
for you have destroyed your land
and killed your people.
Let the offspring(BF) of the wicked(BG)
never be mentioned(BH) again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children(BI)
for the sins of their ancestors;(BJ)
they are not to rise to inherit the land
and cover the earth with their cities.
22 “I will rise up(BK) against them,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name(BL) and survivors,
her offspring and descendants,(BM)”
declares the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place for owls(BN)
and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,(BO)”
declares the Lord Almighty.(BP)
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(BQ)
“Surely, as I have planned,(BR) so it will be,
and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(BS)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(BT) in my land;
on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(BU) will be taken from my people,
and his burden removed from their shoulders.(BV)”
26 This is the plan(BW) determined for the whole world;
this is the hand(BX) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(BY) and who can thwart him?
His hand(BZ) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(CA)
A Prophecy Against the Philistines
28 This prophecy(CB) came in the year(CC) King Ahaz(CD) died:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(CE)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(CF)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(CG)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
and the needy(CH) will lie down in safety.(CI)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(CJ)
it will slay(CK) your survivors.(CL)
31 Wail,(CM) you gate!(CN) Howl, you city!
Melt away, all you Philistines!(CO)
A cloud of smoke comes from the north,(CP)
and there is not a straggler in its ranks.(CQ)
32 What answer shall be given
to the envoys(CR) of that nation?
“The Lord has established Zion,(CS)
and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.(CT)”

New King James Version
Mercy on Jacob
14 For the Lord (A)will have mercy on Jacob, and (B)will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. (C)The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. 2 Then people will take them (D)and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, (E)and rule over their oppressors.
Fall of the King of Babylon
3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, 4 that you (F)will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:
“How the oppressor has ceased,
The (G)golden[a] city ceased!
5 The Lord has broken (H)the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of the rulers;
6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
8 (I)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you [b]were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’
9 “Hell(J)[c] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall (K)speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How(L) you are fallen from heaven,
O [d]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
(M)‘I will ascend into heaven,
(N)I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the (O)mount of the congregation
(P)On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
(Q)I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you (R)shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the [e]lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who [f]did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an [g]abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
[h]Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial,
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
(S)The brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children
(T)Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”
Babylon Destroyed
22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And cut off from Babylon (U)the name and (V)remnant,
(W)And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the (X)porcupine,
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.
Assyria Destroyed
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,
“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,
And as I have purposed, so it shall (Y)stand:
25 That I will break the (Z)Assyrian in My land,
And on My mountains tread him underfoot.
Then (AA)his yoke shall be removed from them,
And his burden removed from their shoulders.
26 This is the (AB)purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts has (AC)purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”
Philistia Destroyed
28 This is the [i]burden which came in the year that (AD)King Ahaz died.
29 “Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia,
(AE)Because the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
(AF)And its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will feed,
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry, O city!
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his [j]appointed times.”
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation?
That (AG)the Lord has founded Zion,
And (AH)the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.
