Micah 3
1 And I say, “Now hear, O heads of Jacob, And you judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
我言ふヤコブの首領よイスラエルの家の侯伯よ 汝ら聽け公義は汝らの知べきことに非ずや
2 You who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
汝らは善を惡み惡を好み民の身より皮を剥ぎ骨より肉を剔り
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stripped, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a cauldron.”
我民の肉を食ひその皮を剥ぎその骨を碎きこれを切きざみて鍋に入る物のごとくし鼎の中にいるる肉のごとくす
4 Then they cry to YHWH, And He does not answer them, And hides His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
然ば彼時に彼らヱホバに呼はるともヱホバかれらに應へたまはじ 却てその時には面を彼らに隱したまはん 彼らの行惡ければなり
5 Thus said YHWH concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried “Peace,” And he who does not give to their mouth, They have sanctified against him war:
我民を惑す預言者は齒にて噛べき物を受る時は平安あらんと呼はれども何をもその口に與へざる者にむかひては戰門の準備をなす ヱホバ彼らにつきて斯いひたまふ
6 “Therefore you have a night without vision, And you have darkness without divination, And the sun has gone in on the prophets, And the day has been black over them.
然ば汝らは夜に遭べし 復異象を得じ 黒暗に遭べし 復卜兆を得じ 日はその預言者の上をはなれて沒りその上は晝も暗かるべし
7 And the seers have been ashamed, And the diviners have been confounded, And all of them have covered their lip, For there is no answer, O God.”
見者は愧を抱き卜者は面を赧らめ皆共にその唇を掩はん 神の垂應あらざればなり
8 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
然れども我はヱホバの御靈によりて能力身に滿ち公義および勇氣衷に滿ればヤコブにその愆を示しイスラエルにその罪を示すことを得
9 Now hear this, O heads of the house of Jacob, And you judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And pervert all uprightness.
ヤコブの家の首領等およびイスラエルの家の牧伯等公義を惡み一切の正直事を曲る者よ汝ら之を聽け
10 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
彼らは血をもてシオンを建て不義をもてエルサレムを建つ
11 Her heads judge for a bribe, And her priests teach for hire, And her prophets divine for silver, And on YHWH they lean, saying, “Is not YHWH in our midst? Evil does not come in on us.”
その首領等は賄賂をとりて審判をなしその祭司等は値錢を取て教晦をなす 又その預言者等は銀子を取て占卜を爲しヱホバに倚頼みて云ふヱホバわれらと偕に在すにあらずや 然ば災禍われらに降らじと
12 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is plowed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
是によりてシオンは汝のゆゑに田圃となりて耕へされエルサレムは石堆となり宮の山は樹の生しげる高處とならん
