Amos 6
1 Woe to those at ease in Zion and those secure on Mount Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.
身を安くしてシオンに居る者思ひわづらはずしてサマリヤの山に居る者 諸の國にて勝れたる國の中なる聞高くしてイスラエルの家に就きしたがはるる者は禍なるかな
2 Cross over to Calneh and see; go from there to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
カルネに渉りゆき彼處より大ハマテに至りまたペリシテ人のガテに下りて視よ其等は此二國に愈るや 彼らの土地は汝らの土地よりも大なるや
3 You dismiss the day of calamity and bring near a reign of violence.
汝等は災禍の日をもて尚遠しと爲し強暴の座を近づけ
4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
自ら象牙の牀に臥し寢臺の上に身を伸し群の中より羔羊を取り圏の中より犢牛を取て食ひ
5 You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
琴の音にあはせて唄ひ噪ぎダビデのごとくに樂器を製り出し
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
大斝をもて酒を飮み最も貴とき膏を身に抹りヨセフの艱難を憂へざるなり
7 Therefore, you will now go into exile as the first of the captives, and your feasting and lounging will come to an end.
是故に今彼等は擄はれて俘囚人の眞先に立て往んかの身を伸したる者等の嘈の聲止べし
8 The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared: “I abhor Jacob’s pride and detest his citadels, so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ 主ヱホバ己を指て誓へり 我ヤコブが誇る所の物を忌嫌ひその宮殿を惡む 我この邑とその中に充る者とを付すべし
9 And if there are ten men left in one house, they too will die.
一の家に十人遺りをるとも皆死ん
10 And when the relative who is to burn the bodies picks them up to remove them from the house, he will call to one inside, “Is anyone else with you?” “None,” that person will answer. “Silence,” the relative will retort, “for the name of the LORD must not be invoked.”
而してその親戚すなはち之を焚く者その死骸を家より運びいださんとて之を取あげまたその家の奥に潛み居る者に向ひて他になほ汝とともに居る者あるやと言ふとき對へて一人も無しと言ん 此時かの人また言べし 黙せよヱホバの名を口に擧ること有べからずと
11 For the LORD gives a command: “The great house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.”
視よヱホバ命を下し大なる家を撃て墟址とならしめ小き家を撃て微塵とならしめたまふ
12 “Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
馬あに能く岩の上を走らんや 人あに牛をもて岩を耕へすことを得んや 然るに汝らは公道を毒に變じ正義の果を茵蔯に變じたり
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’
汝らは無物を喜び我儕は自分の力をもて角を得しにあらずやと言ふ
14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
是をもて萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ イスラエルの家よ我一の國を起して汝らに敵せしめん 是はハマテの入口よりアラバの川までも汝らをなやまさん
