< Micah 4 >

1 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And flowed unto it have peoples.
末の日にいたりてヱホバの家の山諸の山の巓に立ち諸の嶺にこえて高く聳へ萬民河のごとく之に流れ歸せん
2 And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
即ち衆多の民來りて言ん 去來我儕ヱホバの山に登ヤコブの神の家にゆかん ヱホバその道を我らに敎へて我らにその路を歩ましめたまはん 律法はシオンより出でヱホバの言はエルサレムより出べければなり
3 And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more.
彼衆多の民の間を鞫き強き國を規戒め遠き處にまでも然したまふべし 彼らはその劍を鋤に打かへその鎗を鎌に打かへん 國と國とは劍を擧て相攻めず また重て戰爭を習はじ
4 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.
皆その葡萄の樹の下に坐しその無花果樹の下に居ん 之を懼れしむる者なかるべし 萬軍のヱホバの口之を言ふ
5 For all the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god — and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age and for ever.
一切の民はみな各々その神の名によりて歩む 然れども我らはわれらの神ヱホバの名によりて永遠に歩まん
6 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she whom I have afflicted.
ヱホバ言たまふ 其日には我かの足蹇たる者を集へかの散されし者および我が苦しめし者を聚め
7 And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age.
その足蹇たる者をもて遺餘民となし遠く逐やられたりし者をもて強き民となさん 而してヱホバ、シオンの山において今より永遠にこれが王とならん
8 And thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion, unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem.
羊樓シオンの女の山よ最初の權汝に歸らん 即ちエルサレムの女の國祚なんぢに歸るべし
9 Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king — is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?
汝なにとて喚叫ぶや 汝の中に王なきや 汝の議者絶果しや 汝は產婦のごとくに痛苦を懷くなり
10 Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine enemies.
シオンの女よ產婦のごとく劬勞て產め 汝は今邑を出て野に宿りバビロンに往ざるを得ず 彼處にて汝救はれん ヱホバ汝を彼處にて汝の敵の手より贖ひ取り給ふべし
11 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: 'Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'
今許多の國民あつまりて汝におしよせて言ふ 願くはシオンの汚されんことを 我ら目にシオンを觀てなぐさまんと
12 They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.
然ながら彼らはヱホバの思念を知ずまたその御謀議を曉らず ヱホバ麥束を打塲にあつむるごとくに彼らを聚め給へり
13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
シオンの女よ起てこなせ 我なんぢの角を鐵にし汝の蹄を銅にせん 汝許多の國民を打碎くべし 汝かれらの掠取物をヱホバに獻げ彼らの財產を全地の主に奉納べし
