Micah 5
1 Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
軍隊の女よ今なんぢ集りて隊をつくれ 敵われらを攻圍み杖をもてイスラエルの士師の頬を撃つ
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.
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 will abandon them until the time that she who is in labor gives birth. Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
是故に產婦の產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 He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. They will live, for then he will be 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 He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
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 They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
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 The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man nor wait 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賴ず世の人を俟ずしてヱホバより降る露の如く靑草の上にふりしく雨の如くならん
8 The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
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 Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all of your enemies be 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 “It will happen in that day”, says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from among you and will destroy 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 I will cut off the cities of your land and will tear down all your strongholds.
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 I will destroy witchcraft from your hand. You shall have no soothsayers.
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 I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars from among you; and you shall no more worship 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 I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you; and I will destroy your cities.
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 I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that didn’t listen.”
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
