Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, And contrive evil upon their beds; When the morning is light, they practise it, Because it is 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 They covet fields, and take them by violence; Houses, and take them from their owners. They defraud a man of his house; Yea, a man of his inheritance.
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 saith Jehovah: Behold, against this race do I meditate evil. From which ye shall not remove your necks, nor lift up your heads; For it shall be a time of evil.
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 In that day shall this song be uttered concerning thee. And this sad lamentation be made: “We are utterly laid waste; He hath changed the portion of my people; How hath he torn it from me! He hath taken away and distributed 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 Behold, thou shalt have no one henceforth Who shall draw out a line for a portion, In the congregation of Jehovah.
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 “Prophesy not,” [[say they, ]] “O ye that prophesy!” If they prophesy not concerning these things, The shame will not depart.
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 O ye that are called the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Jehovah impatient? Are these his doings? Are not my words kind 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 hath my people risen against me, as an enemy; Ye strip the mantle from the garment of those that pass by securely, as men returning 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 women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant abodes; Ye deprive their children forever of the glory which I gave them.
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 and depart; This land is not your rest! On account of its pollution shall it be wasted, And given to utter 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 follow wind, and invent falsehood, and say, “I will prophesy to thee of wine and strong drink!” He will be the prophet 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 Yet will I fully gather thee, O Jacob, I will surely assemble the residue of Israel! I will put them together like sheep in a fold; Like a flock in their fold shall they be in a tumult on account of the multitude of 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 He that forceth a way goeth before them; They force their way, and pass through the gate, And go forth by it; And their king goeth before them, Even Jehovah at the head of them.
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
