ミカ書 6
1 請ふ汝らヱホバの宣まふところを聽け 汝起あがりて山の前に辨爭へ 崗に汝の聲を聽しめよ
Listen now to what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
2 山々よ地の易ることなき基よ 汝らヱホバの辨爭を聽け ヱホバその民と辨爭を爲しイスラエルと論ぜん
Hear, you mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 我民よ我何を汝になししや 何において汝を疲勞たるや 我にむかひて證せよ
My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me.
4 我はエジプトの國より汝を導きのぼり奴隸の家より汝を贖ひいだしモーセ、アロンおよびミリアムを遣して汝に先だたしめたり
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 我民よ請ふモアブの王バラクが謀りし事およびベオルの子バラムがこれに應へし事を念ひシツテムよりギルガルにいたるまでの事等を念へ 然らば汝ヱホバの正義を知ん
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."
6 我ヱホバの前に何をもちゆきて高き神を拜せん 燔祭の物および當歳の犢をもてその御前にいたるべきか
How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 ヱホバ數千の牡羊萬流の油を悦びたまはんか 我愆のためにわが長子を獻げんか 我靈魂の罪のために我身の產を獻げんか
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 人よ彼さきに善事の何なるを汝に告たり ヱホバの汝に要めたまふ事は唯正義を行ひ憐憫を愛し謙遜りて汝の神とともに歩む事ならずや
He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 ヱホバの聲邑にむかひて呼はる 智慧ある者はなんぢの名を仰がん 汝ら笞杖および之をおくらんと定めし者に聽け
The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
10 惡人の家に猶惡財ありや 詛ふべき縮小たる升ありや
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
11 我もし正からざる權衡を用ひ袋に僞の碼子をいれおかば爭で潔からんや
Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 その富る人は強暴にて充ち其居民は謊言を言ひその舌は口の中にて欺くことを爲す
Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13 是をもて我も汝を撃て重傷を負はせ汝の罪のために汝を滅す
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
14 汝は食ふとも飽ず腹はつねに空ならん 汝は移すともつひに拯ふことを得じ 汝が拯ひし者は我これを劍に付すべし
You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
15 汝は種播とも刈ることあらず 橄欖を踐ともその油を身に抹ることあらず 葡萄を踐ともその酒を飮ことあらじ
You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't drink the wine.
16 汝らはオムリの法度を守りアハブの家の一切の行爲を行ひて彼等の謀計に遵ふ 是は我をして汝を荒さしめ且その居民を胡盧となさしめんが爲なり 汝らはわが民の恥辱を任べし
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
