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 those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice 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
They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and 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 says YHWH: "Look, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
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 they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined. My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'"
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 you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of YHWH.
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
"Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."
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
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of YHWH angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
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
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
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
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
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, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous 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 a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would 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, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
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 goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with YHWH at their head.
