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 latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream 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
Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s 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 will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word 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 will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will 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 every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Armies has spoken.
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
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever 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 assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which 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 that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
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
You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of 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 do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counsellor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of 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 give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from 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
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over 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 don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing 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, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
