Micah 6
1 Hear now what the Lord is saying: Arise, present your complaint before the mountains, let the hills hear your voice!
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
2 Hear, mountains, the Lord’s accusation, listen, foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people. He has a dispute with Israel.
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
3 ‘My people, what have I done to you. How have I displeased you? Answer me!
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
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, from the land of slavery I redeemed you. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
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
5 My people, what did Balak, king of Moab counsel? And how did Balaam, the son of Beor, answer him? Remember now the journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you might realise the just deeds of the Lord.’
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
6 With what should I come before the Lord? Bow myself before the God on high? Should I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old?
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
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, With ten thousand streams of oil? Should I give him my firstborn son for my guilt, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
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
8 The Lord has told you what is good, what he demands of you: Only to do justice and love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
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
9 Listen! The Lord calls to the city! Listen, tribe and assembly of the city!
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
10 ‘Can I forget the hoarded treasures in the houses of the wicked, and the accursed scant measure?
惡人の家に猶惡財ありや 詛ふべき縮小たる升ありや
11 Can I leave her unpunished because of evil scales, and the bag of false weights?
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
12 Whose rich people are full of violence, her inhabitants liars, whose tongues speak deceit?
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
13 ‘But I indeed, have begun to punish you, to lay you in ruins because of your sins.
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
14 You will eat but not be satisfied, your stomach empty within you. You will store up but lose everything, because whatever you save I will give to the sword.
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
15 You will sow but not reap. You will tread the olives but have no oil for rubbing, tread grapes but drink no wine!
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
16 ‘For you have followed the commands of Omri, and all the practices of the house of Ahab. You have acted in accord with their counsels, so I will give you up to ruin, the city’s inhabitants to derision. The nations will treat you with contempt!’
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
