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

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mount of the house of the LORD shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow 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 come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth from Zion, 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 among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn 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

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

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 people will walk every one in the name of his god, and 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, saith the LORD, I will assemble her that is lame, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

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 limped a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion 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 thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, to thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come 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

Now why dost thou cry aloud? is there no king in thee? hath thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

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 labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth from the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thy 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

Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

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 thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as sheaves into 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, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
