< Micah 5 >

1 Nowe assemble thy garisons, O daughter of garisons: he hath layed siege against vs: they shall smite the iudge of Israel with a rod vpon the cheeke.
軍隊の女よ今なんぢ集りて隊をつくれ 敵われらを攻囲み杖をもてイスラエルの士師の頬を撃つ
2 And thou Beth-leem Ephrathah art litle to bee among the thousandes of Iudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth vnto me, that shalbe the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue bene from the beginning and from euerlasting.
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 will he giue them vp, vntill the time that shee which shall beare, shall trauaile: then the remnant of their brethren shall returne vnto the children of Israel.
是故に産婦の産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 he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the maiestie of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwel still: for now shall he be magnified vnto the ends of the world.
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 hee shall be our peace when Asshur shall come into our lande: when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seuen shepheardes, and eight principall 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 destroy Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swordes: thus shall he deliuer vs from Asshur, when hee commeth into our lande, and when he shall tread within our borders.
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 Iaakob shalbe among many people, as a dewe from the Lord, and as the showres vpon the grasse, that waiteth not for man, nor hopeth in the sonnes of Adam.
ヤコブの遺餘者は衆多の民の中に在こと人に頼ら世の人を俟ずしてヱホバより降る露の如く青草の上にふりしく雨の如くならん
8 And the remnant of Iaakob shalbe among the Gentiles in the middes of many people, as the lyon among the beastes of the forest, and as the lyons whelpe among the flockes of sheepe, who when he goeth thorow, treadeth downe and teareth in pieces, and none can deliuer.
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 Thine hand shall bee lift vp vpon thine aduersaries, and all thine enemies shalbe cut off.
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 passe in that day, sayth the Lord, that I will cut off thine horses out of the middes of thee, and I will destroy thy charets.
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 cut off the cities of thy land, and ouerthrowe all thy strong holdes.
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 cut off thine enchanters out of thine hande: and thou shalt haue no more southsayers.
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 Thine idoles also will I cut off, and thine images out of the middes of thee: and thou shalt no more worship the woorke of thine 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 wil plucke vp thy groues out of the middes of thee: so will I destroy thine enemies.
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 a vegeance in my wrath and indignation vpon the heathen, which they haue not heard.
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
