< 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
Hear, I pray you, what, Yahweh, is saying, —arise thou, maintain thy controversy before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice: —
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, ye mountains, the controversy of Yahweh, and ye lasting rocks, the foundations of the earth, —for, a controversy, hath Yahweh, with his people, and, with Israel, will he dispute.
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
O my people! what have I done to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? Testify thou against 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 thee up out of the land of Egypt, and, out of the house of slaves, I ransomed thee, —and I sent before thee, 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
O my people! remember, I pray you, what Balak king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam son of Beor, answered him, —from the Acacias as far as Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Yahweh.
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
Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending-sacrifice? with calves of 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 Yahweh, be pleased, with thousands of rams? with myriads of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression? 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 hath told thee, O son of earth, what is good, —what then is, Yahweh, seeking of thee, but, to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with thy 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 voice of Yahweh, to the city, crieth out, With safety for him who regardeth his name, —Hear ye the rod, and who hath 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
Even yet, are there, in the house of the lawless one, the treasures of lawlessness, —and the scant measure—accurst?
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 lawless balances? or with 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
For, her rich men, are full of violence, and, her inhabitants, have spoken falsehood, —and, their tongue, is deceitful in their mouth.
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
Moreover also, I, have made thee sick with smiting thee, —laying thee waste because of thy 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
Thou, shalt eat—and not be satisfied, but be shrunk with hunger within thee, —Though thou remove, yet shalt thou not set in safety, and, what thou dost set in safety, to the sword, will I deliver.
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
Thou, shalt sow, but shalt not reap, —thou, shalt tread the olive, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, also the grape, but shalt not 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 strictly observed are the statutes of Omri, and every doing of the house of Ahab, and ye have walked in their counsels, —to the end I may give thee up to desolation, and her inhabitants to hissing, that, the reproach of peoples, ye may bear.
