Amos 5
1 Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.
イスラエルの家よ我が汝らに對ひて宣る此言を聽け 是は哀歎の歌なり
2 The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.
處女イスラエルは仆れて復起あがらず彼は己の地に扑倒さる 之を扶け起す者なし
3 For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ イスラエルの家においては前に千人出たる邑は只百人のみのこり前に百人出たる邑は只十人のみのこらん
4 For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.
ヱホバかくイスラエルの家に言たまふ 汝ら我を求めよ さらば生べし
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
ベテルを求むるなかれ ギルガルに往なかれ ベエルシバに赴く勿れ ギルガルは必ず擄へられゆきベテルは無に歸せん
6 Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.
汝らヱホバを求めよ 然ば生べし 恐くはヱホバ火のごとくにヨセフの家に落くだりたまひてその火これを焼ん ベテルのためにこれを熄す者一人もあらじ
7 You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,
汝ら公道を茵蔯に變じ正義を地に擲つる者よ
8 Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
昴宿および參宿を造り死の蔭を變じて朝となし晝を暗くして夜となし海の水を呼て地の面に溢れさする者を求めよ 其名はヱホバといふ
9 He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.
彼は滅亡を忽然強者に臨ましむ 滅亡つひに城に臨む
10 They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.
彼らは門にありて勸戒る者を惡み正直を言ふ者を忌嫌ふ
11 Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
汝らは貧しき者を踐つけ麥の贐物を之より取る この故に汝らは鑿石の家を建しと雖どもその中に住ことあらじ 美しき葡萄園を作りしと雖どもその酒を飮ことあらじ
12 Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.
我知る汝らの愆は多く汝らの罪は大なり 汝らは義き者を虐げ賄賂を取り門において貧き者を推抂ぐ
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.
是故に今の時は賢き者黙す 是惡き時なればなり
14 Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.
汝ら善を求めよ 惡を求めざれ 然らば汝ら生べし また汝らが言ごとく萬軍の神ヱホバ汝らと偕に在さん
15 Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
汝ら惡を惡み善を愛し門にて公義を立よ 萬軍の神ヱホバあるひはヨセフの遺れる者を憐れみたまはん
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.
是故に主たる萬軍の神ヱホバかく言たまふ 諸の街衢にて啼ことあらん 諸の大路にて人哀哉哀哉と呼ん 又農夫を呼きたりて哀哭しめ啼女を招きて啼しめん
17 And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
また諸の葡萄園にも啼こと有べし 其は我汝らの中を通るべければなり ヱホバこれを言たまふ
18 Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
ヱホバの日を望む者は禍なるかな 汝ら何とてヱホバの日を望むや 是は昏くして光なし
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
人 獅子の前を逃れて熊に遇ひ又家にいりてその手を壁に附て蛇に咬るるに宛も似たり
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?
ヱホバの日は昏くして光なく暗にして耀なきに非ずや
21 I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.
我は汝らの節筵を惡みかつ藐視む また汝らの集會を悦ばじ
22 And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.
汝ら我に燔祭または素祭を獻ぐるとも我之を受納れじ 汝らの肥たる犢の感謝祭は我これを顧みじ
23 Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.
汝らの歌の聲を我前に絶て汝らの琴の音は我これを聽じ
24 But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.
公道を水のごとくに正義をつきざる河のごとくに流れしめよ
25 Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?
イスラエルの家よ汝らは四十年荒野に居し間 犠牲と供物を我に獻げたりしや
26 But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
かへつて汝らは汝らの王シクテを負ひ汝らの偶像キウンを負へり 是即ち汝らの神とする星にして汝らの自ら造り設けし者なり
27 And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.
然ば我汝らをダマスコの外に移さん 萬軍の神ととなふるヱホバこれを言たまふ
