Amos 3
1 Listen to the word which the Lord has spoken about you, sons of Israel, concerning the whole family that I led out of the land of Egypt, saying:
イスラエルの子孫よヱホバが汝らにむかひて言ところ我がエジプトの地より導き上りし全家にむかひて言ところの此言を聽け
2 I have known only you in such a way, out of all the families of the earth. For this reason, I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
地の諸の族の中にて我ただ汝ら而已を知れり この故に我なんぢらの諸の罪のために汝らを罰せん
3 Will two walk together, unless they have agreed to do so?
二人もし相會せずば爭で共に歩かんや
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, unless he has prey? Will the lion’s young cry out from his den, unless he has taken something?
獅子もし獲物あらずば豈林の中に吼んや 猛獅子もし物を攫まずば豈その穴より聲を出さんや
5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the ground, if there is no bird-catcher? Will a snare be taken away from the ground, before it has caught something?
もし羂の設なくば鳥あに地に張れる網にかからんや 網もし何の得るところも無くば豈地よりあがらんや
6 Will the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not become frightened? Will there be disaster in a city, which the Lord has not done?
邑にて喇叭を吹かば民おどらかざらんや 邑に災禍のおこるはヱホバのこれを降し給ふならずや
7 For the Lord God does not fulfill his word, unless he has revealed his secret to his servants the prophets.
夫主ヱホバはその隱れたる事をその僕なる預言者に傳へずしては何事をも爲たまはざるなり
8 The lion will roar, who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken, who will not prophesy?
獅子吼ゆ 誰か懼れざらんや 主ヱホバ言語たまふ 誰か預言せざらんや
9 Let it be heard in the buildings of Ashdod and in the buildings of the land of Egypt, and say: Gather together across the mountains of Samaria, and see the many absurdities in its midst, and those who are suffering false accusations in its inner most places.
アシドドの一切の殿に傳へエジプトの地の一切の殿に宣て言へ 汝等サマリヤの山々に集りその中にある大なる紛亂を觀その中間におこなはるる虐遇を觀よ
10 And they do not know how to make it right, says the Lord, storing up iniquity and plunder in their buildings.
ヱホバいひたまふ 彼らは正義をおこなふことを知ず 虐げ取し物と奪ひたる物とをその宮殿に積蓄ふ
11 Because of these things, thus says the Lord God: The land will be encircled and squeezed together. And your strength will be drawn away from you, and your buildings will be torn apart.
是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ 敵ありて此國を攻かこみ汝の權力を汝より取下さん 汝の一切の殿は掠めらるべし
12 Thus says the Lord: Just as if a shepherd had rescued two legs from the mouth of a lion, or the tip of an ear, so also will the sons of Israel be rescued, who dwell in the sick bed of Samaria, and in the cot of Damascus.
ヱホバかく言たまふ 牧羊者は獅子の口より羊の兩足あるひは片耳を取かへし得るのみ サマリヤに於て床の隅またはダマスコ錦の榻に坐するイスラエルの子孫もその救はるること是のごとくならん
13 Listen and give testimony in the house of Jacob, says the Lord God of hosts:
萬軍の神 主ヱホバかく言たまふ 汝ら聽てヤコブの家に證せよ
14 that in the day, when I will begin to visit the betrayals of Israel, I will visit upon him and upon the altars of Bethel. And the horns of the altars will be cut off and will fall to the ground.
我イスラエルの諸の罪を罰する日にはベテルの壇を罰せん 其壇の角は折て地に落べし
15 And I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and many buildings will be torn apart, says the Lord.
我また冬の家および夏の家をうたん 象牙の家ほろび大きなる家失ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
