< Micah 7 >
1 Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
我は禍なるかな 我の景况は夏の菓物を採る時のごとく遺れる葡萄を斂むる時に似たり 食ふべき葡萄あること無く我が心に嗜む初結の無花果あること無し
2 The godly man is perished out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
善人地に絶ゆ 人の中に直き者なし 皆血を流さんと伏て伺ひ各々網をもてその兄弟を獵る
3 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
兩手は惡を善なすに急がし 牧伯は要求め裁判人は賄賂を取り力ある人はその心の惡き望を言あらはし斯共にその惡をあざなひ合す
4 The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
彼らの最も善き者も荊棘のごとく最も直き者も刺ある樹の垣より惡し 汝の觀望人の日すなはち汝の刑罰の日いたる 彼らの中に今混亂あらん
5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
汝ら伴侶を信ずる勿れ 朋友を恃むなかれ 汝の懐に寢る者にむかひても汝の口の戸を守れ
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
男子は父を藐視め女子は母の背き媳は姑に背かん 人の敵はその家の者なるべし
7 'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
我はヱホバを仰ぎ望み我を救ふ神を望み俟つ 我神われに聽たまふべし
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.
我敵人よ我につきて喜ぶなかれ 我仆るれば興あがる 幽暗に居ればヱホバ我の光となりたまふ
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
ヱホバわが訴訟を理し我ために審判をおこなひたまふまで我は忍びてその忿怒をかうむらん 其は我これに罪を得たればなり ヱホバつひに我を光明に携へいだし給はん 而して我ヱホバの正義を見ん
10 Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her; who said unto me: Where is the LORD thy God? Mine eyes shall gaze upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.'
わが敵これを見ん 汝の神ヱホバは何處にをるやと我に言る者 恥辱をかうむらん 我かれを目に見るべし 彼は街衢の泥のごとくに踏つけらるべし
11 'The day for building thy walls, even that day, shall be far removed.'
汝の垣を築く日いたらん 其日には法度遠く徙るべし
12 There shall be a day when they shall come unto thee, from Assyria even to the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
その日にはアッスリヤよりエジプトの邑々より人々汝に來りエジプトより河まで海より海まで山より山までの人々汝に來り就ん
13 And the land shall be desolate for them that dwell therein, because of the fruit of their doings.
その日地はその居民の故によりて荒はつべし 是その行爲の果報なり
14 Tend Thy people with Thy staff, the flock of Thy heritage, that dwell solitarily, as a forest in the midst of the fruitful field; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
汝の杖をもて汝の民即ち獨離れてカルメルの中の林にをる汝の産業の羊を牧養ひ之をして古昔の日のごとくバシヤンおよびギレアデにおいて草を食はしめたまへ
15 'As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things.'
汝がエジプトの國より出來し日のごとく我ふしぎなる事等を彼にしめさん
16 The nations shall see and be put to shame for all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
國々の民見てその一切の能力を恥ぢその手を口にあてん その耳は聾となるべし
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto the LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of Thee.
彼らは蛇のごとくに塵を餂め地に匍ふ者の如くにその城より振ひて出で戰慄て我らの神ヱホバに詣り汝のために懼れん
18 Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth the iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.
何の神か汝に如ん 汝は罪を赦しその産業の遺餘者の愆を見過したまふなり 神は憐憫を悦ぶが故にその震怒を永く保ちたまはず
19 He will again have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
ふたたび顧みて我らを憐み我らの愆を踏つけ我らの諸の罪を海の底に投しづめたまはん
20 Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, as Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
汝古昔の日われらの先祖に誓ひたりしその眞實をヤコブに賜ひ憐憫をアブラハムに賜はん
