< Amos 9 >
1 Then I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the tops of the Temple pillars so that the foundations shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people below. Those who survive I will kill by the sword. None of them will escape, not a single one.
我觀るに主 壇の上に立て言たまはく柱の頭を撃て閾を震はせ之を打碎きて一切の人の首に落かからしめよ 其遺れる者をば我劍をもて殺さん 彼らの逃る者も逃おほすることを得ず 彼らの遁るる者もたすからじ
2 Even if they dig down into Sheol, I will catch them and pull them up. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down. (Sheol )
假令かれら陰府に掘くだるとも我手をもて之を其處より曳いださん 假令かれら天に攀のぼるとも我これを其處より曳おろさん (Sheol )
3 Even if they hide themselves at the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea serpent to bite them.
假令かれらカルメルの巓に匿るるとも我これを捜して其處より曳いださん 假令かれら海の底に匿れて我目を逃るるとも我蛇に命じて其處にて之を咬しめん
4 Even if they are driven into exile by their enemies, I will order them put to death by the sword. I will watch them carefully—and for evil, not for good.
假令かれらその敵に擄はれゆくとも我劍に命じて其處にて之を殺さしめん 我かれらの上に我目を注ぎて災禍を降さん 福祉を降さじ
5 The Lord God of power touches the earth and it melts, and all who live there mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile river in flood, and then falls again.
主たる萬軍のヱホバ地に捫れば地鎔けその中に住む者みな哀む 即ち全地は河のごとくに噴あがりエジプトの河のごとくにまた沈むなり
6 The Lord builds his upper rooms in heaven, and places the foundations on the earth. He calls for the water of the seas, and pours it down as rain upon the earth—the Lord is his name!
彼は樓閣を天に作り穹蒼の基を地の上に置ゑまた海の水を呼て地の面にこれを斟ぐなり 其名をヱホバといふ
7 Aren't the Ethiopians as important to me as you, people of Israel? asks the Lord. Yes, I brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir.
ヱホバ言たまふ イスラエルの子孫よ 我は汝らを視ことエテオピア人を觀がごとくするにあらずや 我はイスラエルをエジプトの國よりペリシテ人をカフトルよりスリア人をキルより導き來りしにあらずや
8 Watch out! I'm watching this sinful kingdom. I will eradicate it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not completely destroy the descendants of Jacob.
視よ我主ヱホバその目を此罪を犯すところの國に注ぎ之を地の面より滅し絶ん 但し我はヤコブの家を盡くは滅さじ ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 See what I'm doing! I will give the command, and the people of Israel will be shaken among the nations like flour through a sieve, and nothing will fall to the ground.
我すなはち命を下し篩にて物を篩ふがごとくイスラエルの家を萬國の中にて篩はん 一粒も地に落ちざるべし
10 All the sinners of my people will be killed by the sword—all those who say, “Nothing bad is going to happen; no disaster will fall on us.”
我民の罪人即ち災禍われらに及ばず我らに降らじと言をる者等は皆劍によりて死ん
11 On that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David; I will repair the broken walls, I will rebuild the ruins, and I will make it as it was in days of old.
其日には我ダビデの倒れたる幕屋を興しその破壞を修繕ひその傾圯たるを興し古代の日のごとくに之を建なほすべし
12 And they will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations that were once mine, declares the Lord. He will make this happen.
而して彼らはエドムの遺餘者および我名をもて稱へらるる一切の民を獲ん 此事を行ふ ヱホバかく言なり
13 Look! The time is coming, says the Lord, when the reaper will overtake the plowman, and the one who treads the grapes will overtake the one who sows the seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and flow from all the hills.
ヱホバ言ふ 視よ日いたらんとす その時には耕者は刈者に相繼ぎ葡萄を踐む者は播種者に相繼がん また山々には酒滴り岡は皆鎔て流れん
14 I will bring my people back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and they shall live in them. They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will plant gardens and eat the fruit they produce.
我わが民イスラエルの俘囚を返さん 彼らは荒たる邑々を建なほして其處に住み葡萄園を作りてその酒を飮み園圃を作りてその果を食はん
15 I will plant them in their own land, and they shall never be uprooted again from the land I have given them, declares the Lord your God.
我かれらをその地に植つけん 彼らは我がこれに與ふる地より重ねて抜とらるることあらじ 汝の神ヱホバこれを言ふ
