Amos 6
1 Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
「わざわいなるかな、安らかにシオンにいる者、また安心してサマリヤの山にいる者、諸国民のかしらのうちの著名な人々で、イスラエルの家がきて従う者よ。
2 Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than your border?
カルネに渡って見よ。そこから大ハマテに行き、またペリシテびとのガテに下って見よ。彼らはこれらの国にまさっているか。彼らの土地はあなたがたの土地よりも大きいか。
3 Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
あなたがたは災の日を遠ざけ、強暴の座を近づけている。
4 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
わざわいなるかな、みずから象牙の寝台に伏し、長いすの上に身を伸ばし、群れのうちから小羊を取り、牛舎のうちから子牛を取って食べ、
5 Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
琴の音に合わせて歌い騒ぎ、ダビデのように楽器を造り出し、
6 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
鉢をもって酒を飲み、いとも尊い油を身にぬり、ヨセフの破滅を悲しまない者たちよ。
7 Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
それゆえ今、彼らは捕われて、捕われ人のまっ先に立って行く。そしてかの身を伸ばした者どもの騒ぎはやむであろう」。
8 Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
主なる神はおのれによって誓われた、（万軍の神、主は言われる、）「わたしはヤコブの誇を忌みきらい、そのもろもろの宮殿を憎む。わたしはこの町とすべてその中にいる者を渡す」。
9 And if there are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
一つの家に十人の者が残っていても、彼らは死に、
10 And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
そしてその親戚、すなわちこれを焼く者は、骨を家から運びだすために、これを取り上げ、またその家の奥にいる者に向かって、「まだあなたと共にいる者があるか」と言い、「ない」との答がある時、かの人はまた「声を出すな、主の名をとなえるな」と言うであろう。
11 For behold, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
見よ、主は命じて、大きな家を撃って、みじんとなし、小さな家を撃って、切れ切れとされる。
12 Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
馬は岩の上を走るだろうか。人は牛で海を耕すだろうか。ところがあなたがたは公道を毒に変じ、正義の実をにがよもぎに変じた。
13 O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
あなたがたはロデバルを喜び、「われわれは自分の力でカルナイムを得たではないか」と言う。
14 “Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream of the desert.”
それゆえ、万軍の神、主は言われる、「イスラエルの家よ、見よ、わたしは一つの国民を起して、あなたがたに敵対させる。彼らはハマテの入口からアラバの川まであなたがたを悩ます」。
