Micah 6
1 Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
請ふ汝らヱホバの宣まふところを聽け 汝起あがりて山の前に辨爭へ 崗に汝の聲を聽しめよ
2 Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
山々よ地の易ることなき基よ 汝らヱホバの辨爭を聽け ヱホバその民と辨爭を爲しイスラエルと論ぜん
3 ‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
我民よ我何を汝になししや 何において汝を疲勞たるや 我にむかひて證せよ
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
我はエジプトの國より汝を導きのぼり奴隸の家より汝を贖ひいだしモーセ、アロンおよびミリアムを遣して汝に先だたしめたり
5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
我民よ請ふモアブの王バラクが謀りし事およびベオルの子バラムがこれに應へし事を念ひシツテムよりギルガルにいたるまでの事等を念へ 然らば汝ヱホバの正義を知ん
6 With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
我ヱホバの前に何をもちゆきて高き神を拜せん 燔祭の物および當歳の犢をもてその御前にいたるべきか
7 Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
ヱホバ數千の牡羊萬流の油を悦びたまはんか 我愆のためにわが長子を獻げんか 我靈魂の罪のために我身の產を獻げんか
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
人よ彼さきに善事の何なるを汝に告たり ヱホバの汝に要めたまふ事は唯正義を行ひ憐憫を愛し謙遜りて汝の神とともに歩む事ならずや
9 The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
ヱホバの聲邑にむかひて呼はる 智慧ある者はなんぢの名を仰がん 汝ら笞杖および之をおくらんと定めし者に聽け
10 Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
惡人の家に猶惡財ありや 詛ふべき縮小たる升ありや
11 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
我もし正からざる權衡を用ひ袋に僞の碼子をいれおかば爭で潔からんや
12 For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
その富る人は強暴にて充ち其居民は謊言を言ひその舌は口の中にて欺くことを爲す
13 Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
是をもて我も汝を撃て重傷を負はせ汝の罪のために汝を滅す
14 You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
汝は食ふとも飽ず腹はつねに空ならん 汝は移すともつひに拯ふことを得じ 汝が拯ひし者は我これを劍に付すべし
15 You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
汝は種播とも刈ることあらず 橄欖を踐ともその油を身に抹ることあらず 葡萄を踐ともその酒を飮ことあらじ
16 You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
汝らはオムリの法度を守りアハブの家の一切の行爲を行ひて彼等の謀計に遵ふ 是は我をして汝を荒さしめ且その居民を胡盧となさしめんが爲なり 汝らはわが民の恥辱を任べし
