希望のささやき (Whispering Hope)

「希望のささやき」には、緒園涼子(おそのりょうし）と津川主一（つがわしゅいち）の二人の訳詩があります。共に素晴らしい名訳です。津川主一さんは牧師で教会音楽家です­。

【訳詞】：緒園(おその)凉子(りょうし)
１．天(あま)つ御使(みつか)いの　言葉さながら
　　声もひそやかに　希望ささやく
　　闇(やみ)は四方(よも)にこめ　嵐猛(たけ)れど
　　明日(あした)陽はのぼり　風もなごまん
　　希望の　あまき言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　幸(さち)はひそむ
＊ 希望の　あまき言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　幸(さち)はひそむ

２．淡き黄昏(たそがれ)に　真闇(まやみ)せまれば
　　暗き夜(よ)の空に　星はまたたく
　　いよよ更(ふ)けゆきて　胸は痛めど
　　夜半(よわ)に忍びよる　朝の光よ
　　希望の　あまき言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　幸(さち)はひそむ
＊ 希望の　あまき言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　幸(さち)はひそむ

【訳詞】：津川(つがわ)主一(しゅいち)
１．天(あま)つ御使(みつか)いの　声もかくやと
　　静かに囁(ささや)く　希望(のぞみ)の言葉
　　闇(やみ)辺(あた)りを込め　嵐荒(すさ)めど
　　やがて日照(て)り出(い)で　雪も拭(ぬぐ)われん
＊ 囁(ささや)く　希望(のぞみ)の言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　喜びあり

２．辺(あた)り黄昏(たそがれ)て　夕べせまれば
　　空に見えそむる　明(あ)かき星影
　　夜(よ)はいよよ更けて　心静(しず)めど
　　照る日(ひ) 差(さ)し昇る　朝(あした)間近し
＊ 囁(ささや)く　希望(のぞみ)の言葉
　　憂(う)きにも　喜びあり


Ｗhisperig Ｈope Lyrics

１．Soft as the voice of an Angel, Breathing a lesson unheard,
  Hope with a gentle persuasion Whispers her comforting word.
  Wait, till the darkness is over. Wait, till the tempest is done,
  Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, After the shower is gone.
  Whispering hope, Oh how welcome thy voice,
  Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

２．Hope has an anchor so steadfast, Rends the dark veil for the soul.
  Wither the Master has entered, Robbing the grave of its goal.
  Come then O come glad fruition, Come to my sad weary soul.
  Come Thou O blessed hope of glory, Never O never depart.
  Whispering hope, Oh how welcome thy voice,
  Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

３．If, in the dusk of the twilight, Dim be the region afar,
  Will not the deepening darkness Brighten the glimmering star?
  Then when the night is upon us, Why should the heart sink away?
  When the dark midnight is over, Watch for the breaking of day.
  Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
  Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

An outstanding rendition of a song which was very popular in the USA about 1949.
