< Micah 4 >
1 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of the house of YHWH Is established above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the hills, And flowed to it have peoples.
末の日にいたりてヱホバの家の山諸の山の巓に立ち諸の嶺にこえて高く聳へ萬民河のごとく之に流れ歸せん
2 And gone have many nations and said, “Come and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, And to the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths,” For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
即ち衆多の民來りて言ん 去來我儕ヱホバの山に登りヤコブの神の家にゆかん ヱホバその道を我らに教へて我らにその路を歩ましめたまはん 律法はシオンより出でヱホバの言はエルサレムより出べければなり
3 And He has judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations far off, They have beaten their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn war anymore.
彼衆多の民の間を鞫き強き國を規戒め遠き處にまでも然したまふべし 彼らはその劍を鋤に打かへその鎗を鎌に打かへん 國と國とは劍を擧て相攻めず また重て戰爭を習はじ
4 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
皆その葡萄の樹の下に坐しその無花果樹の下に居ん 之を懼れしむる者なかるべし 萬軍のヱホバの口之を言ふ
5 For all the peoples walk, Each in the name of its god—and we, We walk in the Name of our God YHWH, For all time and forever.
一切の民はみな各々その神の名によりて歩む 然れども我らはわれらの神ヱホバの名によりて永遠に歩まん
6 “In that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
ヱホバ言たまふ 其日には我かの足蹇たる者を集へかの散されし者および我が苦しめし者を聚め
7 And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And YHWH has reigned over them in Mount Zion, From now on, and for all time.
その足蹇たる者をもて遺餘民となし遠く逐やられたりし者をもて強き民となさん 而してヱホバ、シオンの山において今より永遠にこれが王とならん
8 And you, O Tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, to you it comes, Indeed, the former rule has come in, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.”
羊樓シオンの女の山よ最初の權汝に歸らん 即ちエルサレムの女の國祚なんぢに歸るべし
9 Now why do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you?
汝なにとて喚叫ぶや 汝の中に王なきや 汝の議者絶果しや 汝は産婦の如くに痛苦を懷くなり
10 Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now you go forth from the city, And you have dwelt in the field, And you have gone to Babylon, There you are delivered, There YHWH redeems you from the hand of your enemies.
シオンの女よ産婦のごとく劬勞て産め 汝は今邑を出て野に宿りバビロンに往ざるを得ず 彼處にて汝救はれん ヱホバ汝を彼處にて汝の敵の手より贖ひ取り給ふべし
11 And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”
今許多の國民あつまりて汝におしよせて言ふ 願くはシオンの汚されんことを 我ら目にシオンを觀てなぐさまんと
12 They have not known the thoughts of YHWH, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He has gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.
然ながら彼らはヱホバの思念を知ずまたその御謀議を曉らず ヱホバ麥束を打塲にあつむるごとくに彼らを聚め給へり
13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For I make your horn iron, And I make your hooves bronze, And you have beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to YHWH their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
シオンの女よ起てこなせ 我なんぢの角を鐵にし汝の蹄を銅にせん 汝許多の國民を打碎くべし 汝かれらの掠取物をヱホバに獻げ彼らの財産を全地の主に奉納べし
