Amos 8
1 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.
主ヱホバの我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち熟したる果物一筐あり
2 And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
ヱホバわれにむかひてアモス汝何を見るやと言たまひければ熟したる果物一筐を見ると答へしにヱホバ我に言たまはく我民イスラエルの終いたれり 我ふたたび彼らを見過しにせじ
3 And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.
主ヱホバ言たまふ 其日には宮殿の歌は哀哭に變らん 死屍おびただしくあり 人これを遍き處に投棄ん 黙せよ
4 Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail,
汝ら喘ぎて貧しき者に迫り且地の困難者を滅す者よ之を聽け
5 Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
汝らは言ふ月朔は何時過去んか 我等穀物を賣んとす 安息日は何時過去んか 我ら麥倉を開かんとす 我らエパを小くしシケルを大くし僞の權衡をもて欺く事をなし
6 That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?
銀をもて賤しき者を買ひ鞋一足をもて貧き者を買ひかつ屑麥を賣いださんと
7 The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all their works.
ヱホバ、ヤコブの榮光を指て誓ひて言たまふ 我かならず彼等の一切の行爲を何時までも忘れじ
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as the river of Egypt?
之がために地震はざらんや地に住る者みな哭かざらんや 地みな河のごとく噴あがらん エジプトの河のごとく湧あがり又沈まん
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light:
主ヱホバ言たまふ其日には我日をして眞晝に沒せしめ地をして白晝に暗くならしめ
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day.
汝らの節筵を悲傷に變らせ汝らの歌を盡く哀哭に變らせ一切の人に麻布を腰に纒はしめ一切の人に頂を剃しめ其日をして獨子を喪へる哀傷のごとくならしめ其終をして苦き日のごとくならしめん
11 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
主ヱホバ言たまふ 視よ日至らんとす その時 我饑饉を此國におくらん 是はパンに乏しきに非ず 水に渇くに非ず ヱホバの言を聽ことの饑饉なり
12 And they shall move from sea to sea, and from the north to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
彼らは海より海とさまよひ歩き北より東と奔まはりてヱホバの言を求めん 然ど之を得ざるべし
13 In that day the fair virgins, and the young men shall faint for thirst.
その日には美しき處女も少き男もともに渇のために絶いらん
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more.
かのサマリヤの罪を指て誓ひダンよ汝の神は活くと言ひまたベエルシバの路は活くと言る者等は必ず仆れん 復興ることあらじ
