Micah 7
1 Woe is me! I have become like the gathering of summer fruit, and like the grapes that have been gleaned; there is no grape cluster to eat, no ripe early fig that my soul desires.
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 Faithful people have disappeared from the land; there is no upright person in all mankind. They all lie in wait to shed blood; each one hunts his own 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 very good at doing harm: the ruler asks for money, the judge is ready for bribes, and the powerful man is saying to others what he wants to obtain. Thus they plot 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. It is the day foretold by your watchmen, the day of your punishment. 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 any neighbor; put no confidence in any friend. Be careful about what you say even to the woman who lies in your arms.
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 a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the people 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 Yahweh. 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 over me, my enemy. After I fall, I will rise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light for 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 Because I sinned against Yahweh, I will bear his rage until he pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me to the light, and I will see him rescue me in his justice.
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 the one who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look at her; she will be trampled down like the mud in 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 will come; on that day the boundaries will be extended very far.
汝の垣を築く日いたらん 其日には法度遠く徙るべし
12 On that day your people will come to you, from Assyria and the cities in Egypt, from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea, and from 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 But the land will be desolate because of the people who are living there, because of the fruit of their actions.
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 rod, the flock of your inheritance. They live alone in a thicket, in the midst of a pastureland. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the old days.
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 when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders.
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 power. They will put their hands on their mouths; 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 snake, like creatures that crawl on the earth. They will come out of their dens with fear; they will come with fear to you, Yahweh our God, and they 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 takes away sin, who passes over the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? He does not keep his anger forever, because he delights in his covenant faithfulness.
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 You will again have compassion on us; you will trample our iniquities under your feet. You will throw all our 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 covenant faithfulness to Abraham, as you swore to our ancestors in ancient days.
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
