Amos 5
1 Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
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 has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall 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 Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to 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 Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you 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 Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
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 you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
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燒ん ベテルのためにこれを熄す者一人もあらじ
7 [It is he] that executes judgment in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:
汝ら公道を茵蔯に變じ正義を地に擲つる者よ
8 who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on 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 who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
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 hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
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 they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.
汝らは貧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 For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates.
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 be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
是故に今の時は賢き者默す 是惡き時なればなり
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall 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 We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgment in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty 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 says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
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 [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says 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 you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it 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; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands 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 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
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, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general 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 Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
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 Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.
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 let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable 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 Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
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 Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for 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 carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God 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
