ミカ書 2
1 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
WOE to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 彼らは田圃を貧りてこれを奪ひ家を貧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產業をかすむ
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 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
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 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 事旣にいたれり 我等は悉く滅さる 彼わが民の產業を人に與ふ 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
In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 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
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.
6 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
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 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
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 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
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 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
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 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
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 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その人はこの民の預言者とならん
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 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
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 打破者かれらに先だちて登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
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.
