Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
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 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has 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 said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves 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 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and 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 And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
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 YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
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 You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
汝ら公道を茵蔯に變じ正義を地に擲つる者よ
8 The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [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 is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a 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 have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
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 of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
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 have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy 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 wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
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 it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you 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 set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities 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 said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
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 [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
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 Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? 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 [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten 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 YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no 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 have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
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 For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
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 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed 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 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
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 bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness 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 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that 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 removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—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
