Micah 3
1 I also said: Hear, O ye heads of Jacob, And ye leaders of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to administer justice?
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 But ye hate what is good, and love what is evil; Ye tear from men their skin, Yea, their flesh from 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 Ye devour the flesh of my people, And strip them of their skin, And break their bones, And cut them in pieces, as for the pot, And as flesh for the caldron?
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 shall they cry to Jehovah, But he will not hear them; Yea, at that time will he hide his face from them, Because they have done iniquity.
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 saith Jehovah concerning the prophets, who deceive my people, Who, while they bite with their teeth, proclaim peace, But who, if one fill not their mouths, prepare war against him:
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 shall night come upon you, so that ye shall have no vision, And darkness, so that ye shall not divine; The sun shall go down upon the prophets, And the day shall be dark to 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 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded, So that all of them shall hide their faces, Because there is no answer from 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 But I am full of power, even of the spirit of Jehovah; Full of uprightness and courage, 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 O hear this, ye heads of the house of Jacob, And ye leaders of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice, And pervert all equity,
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 Who build 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 reward, And her priests teach for hire, And her prophets divine for money, And yet they lean upon Jehovah, saying, “Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? No evil can come upon 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 because of you shall Zion be ploughed as a field, And Jerusalem become heaps of stones, And the mountain of the temple like the heights 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
