< Amos 7 >

1 Thus Lord YHWH has showed me, and behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the ascending of the latter growth, and behold, the latter growth [is] after the mowings of the king [[or King Gog]];
主ヱホバの我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち草の再び生ずる時にあたりて彼蝗を造りたまふ その草は王の刈たる後に生じたるものなり
2 and it has come to pass, when it has finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say, “Lord YHWH, please forgive, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”
その蝗地の靑物を食盡しし後我言り 主ヱホバよ願くは赦したまへ ヤコブは小し 爭でか立ことを得んと
3 YHWH has relented of this, “It will not be,” said YHWH.
ヱホバその行へる事につきて悔をなし我これを爲じと言たまふ
4 Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, Lord YHWH is calling to contend by the fire, and it consumes the great deep, indeed, it has consumed the portion, and I say,
主ヱホバの我に示したまへる所是のごとし 即ち主ヱホバ火をもて罰せんとて火を呼たまひければ火大淵を焚きまた產業の地を焚かんとす
5 “Lord YHWH, please cease, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”
時に我言り 主ヱホバよ願くは止みたまへ ヤコブは小し爭でか立ことを得んと
6 YHWH has relented of this, “It also will not be,” said Lord YHWH.
ヱホバその行へる事につきて悔をなし我これをなさじと主ヱホバ言たまふ
7 Thus has He showed me, and behold, the Lord is standing by a wall [made according to] a plumb-line, and in His hand a plumb-line;
また我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち準縄をもて築ける石垣の上にヱホバ立ちその手に準縄を執たまふ
8 and YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A plumb-line”; and the Lord says: “Behold, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it.
而してヱホバ我にむかひアモス汝何を見るやと言たまひければ準縄を見ると我答へしに主また言たまはく我準縄を我民イスラエルの中に設く 我再び彼らを見過しにせじ
9 And high places of Isaac have been desolated, And sanctuaries of Israel are dried up, And I have risen against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.”
イサクの崇邱は荒されイスラエルの聖所は毀たれん 我劍をもちてヤラベアムの家に起むかはん
10 And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sends to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words,
時にベテルの祭司アマジヤ、イスラエルの王ヤラベアムに言遣しけるはイスラエルの家の眞中にてアモス汝に叛けり 彼の諸の言には此地も堪るあたはざるなり
11 for thus said Amos: Jeroboam dies by sword, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”
即ちアモスかく言り ヤラベアムは劍によりて死ん イスラエルは必ず擄へられてゆきてその國を離れんと
12 And Amaziah says to Amos, “Seer, go, flee to the land of Judah for yourself, and eat bread there, and there you prophesy;
而してアマジヤ、アモスに言けるは先見者よ 汝往てユダの地に逃れ彼處にて預言して汝の食物を得よ
13 and no longer prophesy [at] Beth-El anymore, for it [is] the king’s sanctuary, and it [is] the royal house.”
然どベテルにては重ねて預言すべからず 是は王の聖所王の宮なればなり
14 And Amos answers and says to Amaziah, “I [am] no prophet, nor [am] I a prophet’s son, but I [am] a herdsman, and a cultivator of sycamores,
アモス對へてアマジヤに言けるは我は預言者にあらず また預言者の子にも非ず 我は牧者なり 桑の樹を作る者なりと
15 and YHWH takes me from after the flock, and YHWH says to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
然るにヱホバ羊に從ふ所より我を取り往て我民イスラエルに預言せよとヱホバわれに宣へり
16 And now, hear a word of YHWH: You are saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop [anything] against the house of Isaac,
今ヱホバの言を聽け 汝は言ふイスラエルにむかひて預言する勿れ イサクの家にむかひて言を出すなかれと
17 therefore, thus said YHWH: Your wife goes whoring in the city, And your sons and your daughters fall by sword, And your land is apportioned by line, And you die on an unclean land, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”
是故にヱホバかく言たまふ 汝の妻は邑の中にて妓婦となり汝の男子女子は劍に斃れ汝の地は繩をもて分たれん 而して汝は穢れたる地に死にイスラエルは擄られゆきてその國を離れん
