< Micah 7 >

1 Misery is mine. Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
我は禍なるかな 我の景况は夏の菓物を採る時のごとく遺れる葡萄を斂むる時に似たり 食ふべき葡萄あること無く我が心に嗜む初結の無花果あること無し
2 The faithful have vanished from the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
善人地に絶ゆ 人の中に直き者なし 皆血を流さんと伏て伺ひ各々網をもてその兄弟を獵る
3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
兩手は惡を善なすに急がし 牧伯は要求め裁判人は賄賂を取り力ある人はその心の惡き望を言あらはし斯共にその惡をあざなひ合す
4 The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
彼らの最も善き者も荊棘のごとく最も直き者も刺ある樹の垣より惡し 汝の觀望人の日すなはち汝の刑罰の日いたる 彼らの中に今混亂あらん
5 Do not trust in a neighbor. Do not put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth.
汝ら伴侶を信ずる勿れ 朋友を恃むなかれ 汝の懐に寢る者にむかひても汝の口の戸を守れ
6 For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
男子は父を藐視め女子は母の背き媳は姑に背かん 人の敵はその家の者なるべし
7 But as for me, I will look to Jehovah. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
我はヱホバを仰ぎ望み我を救ふ神を望み俟つ 我神われに聽たまふべし
8 Do not rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light to me.
我敵人よ我につきて喜ぶなかれ 我仆るれば興あがる 幽暗に居ればヱホバ我の光となりたまふ
9 I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.
ヱホバわが訴訟を理し我ために審判をおこなひたまふまで我は忍びてその忿怒をかうむらん 其は我これに罪を得たればなり ヱホバつひに我を光明に携へいだし給はん 而して我ヱホバの正義を見ん
10 Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Jehovah your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
わが敵これを見ん 汝の神ヱホバは何處にをるやと我に言る者 恥辱をかうむらん 我かれを目に見るべし 彼は街衢の泥のごとくに踏つけらるべし
11 A day to build your walls; in that day, he will extend your boundary.
汝の垣を築く日いたらん 其日には法度遠く徙るべし
12 In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
その日にはアッスリヤよりエジプトの邑々より人々汝に來りエジプトより河まで海より海まで山より山までの人々汝に來り就ん
13 Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
その日地はその居民の故によりて荒はつべし 是その行爲の果報なり
14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
汝の杖をもて汝の民即ち獨離れてカルメルの中の林にをる汝の産業の羊を牧養ひ之をして古昔の日のごとくバシヤンおよびギレアデにおいて草を食はしめたまへ
15 "As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things."
汝がエジプトの國より出來し日のごとく我ふしぎなる事等を彼にしめさん
16 The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
國々の民見てその一切の能力を恥ぢその手を口にあてん その耳は聾となるべし
17 They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling creatures of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Jehovah our God, and will be afraid because of you.
彼らは蛇のごとくに塵を餂め地に匍ふ者の如くにその城より振ひて出で戰慄て我らの神ヱホバに詣り汝のために懼れん
18 Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
何の神か汝に如ん 汝は罪を赦しその産業の遺餘者の愆を見過したまふなり 神は憐憫を悦ぶが故にその震怒を永く保ちたまはず
19 He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
ふたたび顧みて我らを憐み我らの愆を踏つけ我らの諸の罪を海の底に投しづめたまはん
20 You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
汝古昔の日われらの先祖に誓ひたりしその眞實をヤコブに賜ひ憐憫をアブラハムに賜はん
