Kimi ga yo wa Chiyo ni Yachiyo ni Sazareishi no Iwawo to nari te Koke no musu made.
A thousand years of happy reign be thine;
Rule on, my lord, till what are pebbles now
By age united to mighty rocks shall grow

Whose venerable sides the moss doth line.

3 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and | carried our | sorrows: || yet we did esteem him stricken, | smitten of God,--and af- flicted.

4 But he was wounded for our trans-gressions, || he was bruised for our in- | iqui- ties; 5 The chastisement of our peace I was up- | on him, and with his stripes- we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone a- | stray; we have turned every | one to | his own way; 7 And the Lord hath | laid on | him || the in- | iquity | of us | all.

8 When thou shalt make his soul an | offering--for | sin, || he shall see his seed, he | shall pro- | long his days,

9 And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper | in his hand. || IIe shall see of the travail of his soul, aud | shall be | satis- | fied.
