Micah 2
1 Woe to those that devise wickedness, and resolve on evil upon their couches! by the first light of the morning they execute it, if they have it in the power of their hand.
その牀にありて不義を圖り惡事を工夫る者等には禍あるべし 彼らはその手に力あるが故に天亮におよべばこれを行ふ
2 And they covet fields, and rob them; and houses, and take them away: so they defraud the master and his house, and the man and his heritage.
彼らは田圃を貪りてこれを奪ひ家を貪りて是を取りまた人を虐げてその家を掠め人を虐げてその産業をかすむ
3 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will devise against this family an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; nor shall ye go erect; for it is an evil time.
是故にヱホバかく言たまふ 視よ我此族にむかひて災禍を降さんと謀る 汝らはその頸を是より脱すること能はじ また首をあげて歩くこと能はざるべし 其時は災禍の時なればなり
4 On that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a mournful lamentation, and say, “We are utterly wasted: the portion of my people hath he exchanged; how hath he removed it from me! instead of restoring [them to us] he divideth our fields.”
その日には人汝らにつきて詩を作り悲哀の歌をもて悲哀て言ん 事既にいたれり 我等は悉く滅さる 彼わが民の産業を人に與ふ 如何なれば我よりこれを離すや 我儕の田圃を違逆者に分ち與ふ
5 Therefore shalt thou have none that shall draw the [measuring] cord in [his] lot in the congregation of the Lord.
然ば汝らヱホバの會衆の中には籤によりて繩をうつ者一人も有じ
6 “Preach not;” [but] they shall preach: they shall not preach [indeed] to these, that reproach may not overtake them.
預言する勿れ 彼らは預言す 彼らは是等の者等にむかひて預言せじ 恥辱彼らを離れざるべし
7 Shall it be said [in] the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord straightened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
汝ヤコブの家と稱へらるる者よ ヱホバの氣短からんや ヱホバの行爲是のごとくならんや 我言は品行正直者の益とならざらんや
8 But long since is my people risen up as an enemy: from the garment do you pull off the ornament; of those that pass by securely [ye make] men returned from war.
然るに我民は近頃起りて敵となれり 汝らは夫の戰爭を避て心配なく過るところの者等に就てその衣服の外衣を奪ひ
9 The wives of my people do you drive out of their delightful houses; from their children do ye take away my ornament for ever.
我民の婦女をその悦ぶところの家より逐いだしその子等より我の妝飾を永く奪ふ
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
起て去れ 是は汝らの安息の地にあらず 是は已に汚れたれば必ず汝らを滅さん 其滅亡は劇かるべし
11 If a man that goeth after wind and lieth with falsehood [should say], “I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink:” he would be a preacher for this people.
人もし風に歩み謊言を宣べ我葡萄酒と濃酒の事につきて汝に預言せんと言ことあらば其人はこの民の預言者とならん
12 I will [once] surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather up the remnant of Israel; I will place them together as flocks in the fold, as droves in the midst of their pen: they shall be crowded with men.
ヤコブよ我かならず汝をことごとく集へ 必ずイスラエルの遺餘者を聚めん 而して我之を同一に置てボヅラの羊のごとく成しめん 彼らは人數衆きによりて牧塲の中なる群のごとくにその聲をたてん
13 The wall-breaker cometh up before them; they break in and pass through the gate, and go out by it: and their king passeth on before them, and the Lord at their head.
打破者かれらに先だちて登り彼ら遂に門を打敗り之を通りて出ゆかん 彼らの王その前にたちて進みヱホバその首に立たまふべし
