Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
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 you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
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 He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons 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 has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
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 this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
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 have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in 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 Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
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 Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
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 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are 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 has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
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 have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
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 have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
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 And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your 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 have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your 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 have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
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
