< Amos 6 >
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
身を安くしてシオンに居る者思ひわづらはずしてサマリヤの山に居る者 諸の國にて勝れたる國の中なる聞高くしてイスラエルの家に就きしたがはるる者は禍なるかな
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see, and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines; are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
カルネに渉りゆき彼處より大ハマテに至りまたペリシテ人のガテに下りて視よ其等は此二國に愈るや 彼らの土地は汝らの土地よりも大なるや
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
汝等は災禍の日をもて尚遠しと爲し強暴の座を近づけ
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
自ら象牙の牀に臥し寢臺の上に身を伸し群の中より羔羊を取り圏の中より犢牛を取て食ひ
5 That thrum on the psaltery, that devise for themselves instruments of music, like David;
琴の音にあはせて唄ひ噪ぎダビデのごとくに樂器を製り出し
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but they are not grieved for the hurt of Joseph.
大斝をもて酒を飮み最も貴とき膏を身に抹りヨセフの艱難を憂へざるなり
7 Therefore now shall they go captive at the head of them that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
是故に今彼等は擄はれて俘囚人の眞先に立て往んかの身を伸したる者等の嘈の聲止べし
8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by Himself, saith the LORD, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ 主ヱホバ己を指て誓へり 我ヤコブが誇る所の物を忌嫌ひその宮殿を惡む 我この邑とその中に充る者とを付すべし
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
一の家に十人遺りをるとも皆死ん
10 And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house: 'Is there yet any with thee?' and he shall say: 'No'; then shall he say: 'Hold thy peace; for we must not make mention of the name of the LORD.'
而してその親戚すなはち之を焚く者その死骸を家より運びいださんとて之を取あげまたその家の奥に潛み居る者に向ひて他になほ汝とともに居る者あるやと言ふとき對へて一人も無しと言ん 此時かの人また言べし 黙せよヱホバの名を口に擧ること有べからずと
11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten into splinters, and the little house into chips.
視よヱホバ命を下し大なる家を撃て墟址とならしめ小き家を撃て微塵とならしめたまふ
12 Do horses run upon the rocks? Doth one plow there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
馬あに能く岩の上を走らんや 人あに牛をもて岩を耕へすことを得んや 然るに汝らは公道を毒に變じ正義の果を茵蔯に變じたり
13 Ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say: 'Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?'
汝らは無物を喜び我儕は自分の力をもて角を得しにあらずやと言ふ
14 For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the Brook of the Arabah.
是をもて萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ イスラエルの家よ我一の國を起して汝らに敵せしめん 是はハマテの入口よりアラバの川までも汝らをなやまさん
