< Michaeas 5 >
1 Now shall the daughter [of Sion] be completely hedged in: he has laid siege against us: they shall strike the tribes of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
軍隊の女よ今なんぢ集りて隊をつくれ 敵われらを攻圍み杖をもてイスラエルの士師の頬を撃つ
2 And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] amongst the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.
ベテレヘム、エフラタ汝はユダの郡中にて小き者なり 然れどもイスラエルの君となる者汝の中より我ために出べし その出る事は古昔より永遠の日よりなり
3 Therefore shall he appoint them [to wait] till the time of her that travails: she shall bring forth, and [then] the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
是故に產婦の產おとすまで彼等を付しおきたまはん 然る後その遺れる兄弟イスラエルの子孫とともに歸るべし
4 And the Lord shall stand, and see, and feed his flock with power, and they shall dwell in the glory of the name of the Lord their God: for now shall they be magnified to the ends of the earth.
彼はヱホバの力に由りその神ヱホバの名の威光によりて立てその群を牧ひ之をして安然に居しめん 今彼は大なる者となりて地の極にまでおよばん
5 And she shall have peace when Assur shall come into your land, and when he shall come up upon your country; and there shall be raised up against him seven shepherds, and eight attacks of men.
彼は平和なり アッスリヤ人われらの國に入り我らの宮殿を踏あらさんとする時は我儕七人の牧者八人の人君を立てこれに當らん
6 And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver [you] from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts.
彼ら劍をもてアッスリヤの地をほろぼしニムロデの地の邑々をほろぼさん アッスリヤの人我らの地に攻いり我らの境を踏あらす時には彼その手より我らを救はん
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist amongst the sons of men.
ヤコブの遺餘者は衆多の民の中に在こと人に賴ず世の人を俟ずしてヱホバより降る露の如く靑草の上にふりしく雨の如くならん
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be amongst the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest amongst cattle, and as a [lion's] whelp amongst the flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off [his prey], and there is none to deliver.
ヤコブの遺餘者の國々にをり衆多の民の中にをる樣は林の獸の中に獅子の居るごとく羊の群の中に猛き獅子の居るごとくならん その過るときは踏みかつ裂ことをなす救ふ者なし
9 Your hand shall be lifted up against them that afflict you, and all your enemies shall be utterly destroyed.
望らくは汝の手汝が諸の敵の上にあげられ汝がもろもろの仇ことごとく絶れんことを
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] I will utterly destroy the horses out of the midst of you, and destroy your chariots;
ヱホバ言たまふ其日には我なんぢの馬を汝の中より絶ち汝の車を毀ち
11 and I will utterly destroy the cities of your land, and demolish all your strongholds:
汝の國の邑々を絶し汝の一切の城をことごとく圮さん
12 and I will utterly destroy your sorceries out of your hands; and there shall be no soothsayers in you.
我また汝の手より魔術を絶ん 汝の中に卜筮師無にいたるべし
13 And I will utterly destroy your graven images, and your statues out of the midst of you; and you shall never any more worship the works of your hands.
我なんぢの彫像および柱像を汝の中より絶ん 汝の手にて作れる者を汝重て拜むこと無るべし
14 And I will cut off the groves out of the midst of you, and I will abolish your cities.
我また汝のアシラ像を汝の中より抜たふし汝の邑々を滅さん
15 and I will execute vengeance on the heathen in anger and wrath, because they listened not.
而して我忿怒と憤恨をもてその聽從はざる國民に仇を報いん
