Micah 3
1 I said, “Now listen, you leaders of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not right for you to understand 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 You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, 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 you who also eat the flesh of my people, and tear their skin off, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, just like meat for a pot, just like meat in 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 you rulers will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time, because you have done evil deeds.”
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 Yahweh says this, “As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one gives them something to eat, they proclaim, 'Peace.' But if he puts nothing in their mouths, they dedicate themselves to wage war on 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, it will be night for you with no vision for you; it will be dark so that you will do no divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be dark on 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 The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no answer from me.”
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 as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and am full of justice and 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 listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who detest justice, and pervert everything right.
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 You build 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 Your leaders judge for a bribe, your priests teach for a price, and your prophets do divination for money. Yet you rely on Yahweh and say, “Is not Yahweh with us? No evil will come 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, because of you, Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.
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
