さばきと希望
66 「天はわたしの王座、地はわたしの足台だ。
あなたがたにこれ以上の神殿を
建てることができようか。
2 わたしはこの手で天と地を造った。
全部がわたしのものだ。
それでもわたしは、
謙遜になって深く罪を悔い、
わたしのことばにおののく者に目をかける。
3 しかし、自分勝手な道を選び、
罪にふける者はのろわれる。
彼らのささげ物を、わたしは絶対に受け入れない。
たとえ牛を祭壇にささげても、見向きもしない。
子羊や穀物をささげても、
犬や豚の血を供えたときのように、顔をしかめる。
わたしに香をたいているつもりでも、
偶像を拝んでいるのだとみなす。
4 わたしは彼らに、彼らが恐れているものを送る。
わたしが呼んだのに答えようとせず、
話しかけたのに聞こうともしなかったからだ。
それどころか、わたしの見ている前で悪いことをし、
わたしが憎むことを、
そうと知りながら行った。
5 神を恐れる者は、神のことばを聞いておののけ。
あなたがたの同胞は、わたしに忠実だというだけで、
あなたがたを憎み、退ける。
『神に栄光があるように。主を信じて、
せいぜい幸せになるがいい』と彼らはあざける。
だが、そう言う彼らが恥を見るようになる。」
6 町が騒ぎ立っています。
いったいどうしたというのでしょう。
神殿から聞こえてくる、
あのすさまじい物音は何でしょう。
あれは、主が敵に報復している音です。
7-8 こんなに不思議なことを見聞きした者が
いるでしょうか。
まだ産みの苦しみの前に、一日のうちに、
突然、イスラエルの国が産み落とされるのです。
陣痛が始まると同時に、
赤ん坊が生まれ、国が出現するのです。
9 「わたしは胎を開かせておきながら、
産ませないことがあろうか」
と、あなたの神である主は言います。
そんなことは、天地がひっくり返っても、
あるはずがありません。
10 エルサレムを愛し、そのために嘆いてきた者よ、
エルサレムといっしょに喜び、楽しめ。
11 エルサレムをこの上もない喜びとせよ。
赤ん坊が母親の豊かな乳房を吸うように、
エルサレムの栄光を堪能するまで飲め。
12 主は告げます。
「繁栄が川のようにエルサレムにみなぎりあふれる。
わたしがそのようにするからだ。
外国の富はこの都に流れ込む。
子どもたちはエルサレムの乳房を吸い、
わきに抱かれ、ひざの上であやされる。
13 わたしはその都で、幼児が母親に慰められるように、
あなたがたを慰める。
14 あなたがたはエルサレムを見て心を躍らせる。
あなたがたのからだは力が満ちる。
すべての人が、
神の民に加えられた主の恵み深い御手と、
敵に向けられた主の憤りとを見る。」
15 見よ。神は怒りをぶちまけ、激しく責めたてるために、
火に包まれ、すべてのものを破壊する
速い戦車に乗って来ます。
16 火と剣で、世界をさばくのです。
主に殺される者が、いかに多いことでしょう。
17 主は告げます。
「庭の木のうしろに隠してある偶像をこっそり拝み、
そこで豚の肉やねずみ、その他の禁じられている物を
おいしそうに食べる者はみな、悲惨な最期を迎える。
18 わたしには、彼らが何をしようとしているか、すべてわかっている。何を考えているかも知っている。そこで、すべての国の人々をエルサレムの前に集め、わたしの栄光を見せる。 19 彼らの目の前で驚くような奇跡をして見せ、逃れた者を宣教師として諸国に送る。行く先は、タルシシュ、プル、ルデ、メシェク、ロシュ、トバル、ヤワン（ギリシヤ）、それに、わたしの評判を耳にしたこともなく、わたしの栄光を見たこともない、海の向こうの国々だ。こうして、わたしの栄光を外国人に告げ知らせる。 20 彼らは、すべての国々から、あなたがたの同胞を神への贈り物として、馬、車、かご、らば、らくだに乗せ、わたしの聖なる山エルサレムへ大切に運んで来る。ちょうど刈り入れの時期に、主のものとしてきよめた器に供え物を載せ、続々と神殿へ運び込むのと同じように。 21 こうして帰って来た者の中から、わたしは祭司とレビ人を選び出す。」
主はそう告げます。
22 「わたしの造る新しい天と地がいつまでも残るように。
あなたがたはいつまでもわたしの民となり、
あなたがたに与えられる名は永久にすたれない。
23 すべての者が、週ごとに、また月ごとに、
わたしを礼拝するために来る。
24 彼らは出て行って、
わたしに背いた者たちのしかばねを見る。
それにわいたうじはいつまでも死なず、
しかばねを焼く火も消えず、
すべての人が目をそむける。」

Judgment and Hope
66 This is what the Lord says:
“Heaven is my throne,(A)
and the earth is my footstool.(B)
Where is the house(C) you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,(D)
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,(E)
and who tremble at my word.(F)
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(G)
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s(H) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(I)
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(J)
and they delight in their abominations;(K)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(L)
For when I called, no one answered,(M)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(N) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(O)
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:(P)
“Your own people who hate(Q) you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.(R)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(S) of the Lord
repaying(T) his enemies all they deserve.
7 “Before she goes into labor,(U)
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.(V)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(W) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(X)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(Y)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(Z)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(AA) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(AB) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(AC) over her.
11 For you will nurse(AD) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(AE)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(AF)
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace(AG) to her like a river,(AH)
and the wealth(AI) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(AJ) on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(AK)
so will I comfort(AL) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(AM)
and you will flourish(AN) like grass;
the hand(AO) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(AP)
but his fury(AQ) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(AR)
and his chariots(AS) are like a whirlwind;(AT)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(AU) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(AV) and with his sword(AW)
the Lord will execute judgment(AX) on all people,
and many will be those slain(AY) by the Lord.
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(AZ) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(BA) rats(BB) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(BC) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.
18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(BD) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(BE) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(BF)
19 “I will set a sign(BG) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(BH) to the nations—to Tarshish,(BI) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(BJ) (famous as archers), to Tubal(BK) and Greece,(BL) and to the distant islands(BM) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(BN) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(BO) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(BP) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(BQ) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(BR) 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests(BS) and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “As the new heavens and the new earth(BT) that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.(BU) 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath(BV) to another, all mankind will come and bow down(BW) before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies(BX) of those who rebelled(BY) against me; the worms(BZ) that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,(CA) and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

King James Version
66 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
