Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink.
バシヤンの牝牛等よ汝ら此言を聽け 汝らはサマリヤの山に居り弱者を虐げ貧者を壓し又その主にむかひて此に持きたりて我らに飮せよと言ふ
2 The lord Jehovah has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks.
主ヱホバ己の聖を指し誓ひて云ふ 視よ日汝らの上に臨む その日には人汝らを鈎にかけ汝等の遺餘者を釣魚鈎にかけて曳いださん
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, each one straight before her, and ye shall cast yourselves into Harmon, says Jehovah.
汝らは各々その前なる石垣の破壞たる處より奔出てハルモンに逃往ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
4 Come to Bethel and transgress, to Gilgal and multiply transgression. And bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days.
汝らベテルに往て罪を犯しギルガルに往て益々おほく罪を犯せ 朝ごとに汝らの犠牲を携へゆけ 三日ごとに汝らの什一を携へゆけ
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings, and publish them. For this pleases you, O ye sons of Israel, says the lord Jehovah.
酵いれたる者を感謝祭に獻げ願意よりする禮物を召てこれを告示せ イスラエルの子孫よ 汝らは斯するを好むなりと主ヱホバ言たまふ
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places, yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
また我汝らの一切の邑に於て汝らの齒を清からしめ汝らの一切の處において汝らの食を乏しからしめたり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言給ふ
7 And I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest. And I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city. One piece was rained upon, and the piece upon which it did not rain withered.
また我収穫までには尚三月あるに雨をとどめて汝らに下さず かの邑には雨を降しこの邑には雨をふらさざりき 此田圃は雨を得 彼田圃は雨を得ずして枯れたり
8 So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
二三の邑別の一の邑に躚めきゆきて水を飮ども飽ことあたはず 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew. The multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees the palmer-worm has devoured. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
我枯死殻と朽腐穗とをもて汝等を撃なやませり また汝らの衆多の園と葡萄園と無花果樹と橄欖樹とは蝗これを食へり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
10 I have sent among you the pestilence according to the manner of Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses, and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
我なんぢらの中にエジプトに爲し如く疫病をおこし劍をもて汝らの少き人を殺し又汝らの馬を奪さり汝らの營の臭氣をして騰りて汝らの鼻を撲しめたり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバいひたまふ
11 I have overthrown cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning. Yet ye have not returned to me, says Jehovah.
我なんぢらの中の邑を滅すことソドム、ゴモラを神の滅したまひし如くしたれば汝らは熖の中より取いだしたる燃柴のごとくなれり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
12 Therefore thus I will do to thee, O Israel, and because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
イスラエルよ然ば我かく汝に行はん 我是を汝に行ふべければイスラエルよ汝の神に會ふ準備をせよ
13 For, lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth-Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.
彼は即ち山を作りなし風を作り出し人の思想の如何なるをその人に示しまた晨光をかへて黑暗となし地の高處を踏む者なり その名を萬軍の神ヱホバといふ
