Amos 6
1 Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!
「わざわいなるかな、安らかにシオンにいる者、また安心してサマリヤの山にいる者、諸国民のかしらのうちの著名な人々で、イスラエルの家がきて従う者よ。
2 Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
カルネに渡って見よ。そこから大ハマテに行き、またペリシテびとのガテに下って見よ。彼らはこれらの国にまさっているか。彼らの土地はあなたがたの土地よりも大きいか。
3 You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
あなたがたは災の日を遠ざけ、強暴の座を近づけている。
4 Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
わざわいなるかな、みずから象牙の寝台に伏し、長いすの上に身を伸ばし、群れのうちから小羊を取り、牛舎のうちから子牛を取って食べ、
5 Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
琴の音に合わせて歌い騒ぎ、ダビデのように楽器を造り出し、
6 Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
鉢をもって酒を飲み、いとも尊い油を身にぬり、ヨセフの破滅を悲しまない者たちよ。
7 So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
それゆえ今、彼らは捕われて、捕われ人のまっ先に立って行く。そしてかの身を伸ばした者どもの騒ぎはやむであろう」。
8 The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
主なる神はおのれによって誓われた、（万軍の神、主は言われる、）「わたしはヤコブの誇を忌みきらい、そのもろもろの宮殿を憎む。わたしはこの町とすべてその中にいる者を渡す」。
9 Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
一つの家に十人の者が残っていても、彼らは死に、
10 And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
そしてその親戚、すなわちこれを焼く者は、骨を家から運びだすために、これを取り上げ、またその家の奥にいる者に向かって、「まだあなたと共にいる者があるか」と言い、「ない」との答がある時、かの人はまた「声を出すな、主の名をとなえるな」と言うであろう。
11 For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
見よ、主は命じて、大きな家を撃って、みじんとなし、小さな家を撃って、切れ切れとされる。
12 Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
馬は岩の上を走るだろうか。人は牛で海を耕すだろうか。ところがあなたがたは公道を毒に変じ、正義の実をにがよもぎに変じた。
13 You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
あなたがたはロデバルを喜び、「われわれは自分の力でカルナイムを得たではないか」と言う。
14 For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah.
それゆえ、万軍の神、主は言われる、「イスラエルの家よ、見よ、わたしは一つの国民を起して、あなたがたに敵対させる。彼らはハマテの入口からアラバの川まであなたがたを悩ます」。
