ミカ書 4

1 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

And at the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, established on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and the peoples shall hasten to it.

2 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

And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us his way, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Sion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

3 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

And he shall judge amongst many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.

4 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

And every one shall rest under his vine, and every one under his fig tree; and there shall be none to alarm [them]: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].

5 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

For all [other] nations shall walk everyone in his own way, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

6 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

In that day, says the Lord, I will gather her that is bruised, and will receive her that is cast out, and those whom I rejected.

7 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

And I will make her that was bruised a remnant, and her that was rejected a mighty nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Sion from henceforth, even for ever.

8 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

And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 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

And now, why have you known calamities? was there not a king to you? or has your counsel perished that pangs as of a woman in travail have seized upon you?

10 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

Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Sion, as a woman in travail: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and shall lodge in the plain, and shall reach even to Babylon: thence shall the Lord your God deliver you, and thence shall he redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.

11 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

And now have many nations gathered against you, saying, We will rejoice, and our eyes shall look upon Sion.

12 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

But they know not the thought of the Lord, and have not understood his counsel: for he has gathered them as sheaves of the floor.

13 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

Arise, and thresh them, O daughter of Sion: for I will make your horns iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall utterly destroy many nations, and shall consecrate their abundance to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of all the earth.
