Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."
バシヤンの牝牛等よ汝ら此言を聽け 汝らはサマリヤの山に居り弱者を虐げ貧者を壓し又その主にむかひて此に持きたりて我らに飮せよと言ふ
2 The LORD has sworn by his holiness: "Look, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
主ヱホバ己の聖を指し誓ひて云ふ 視よ日汝らの上に臨む その日には人汝らを鈎にかけ汝等の遺餘者を釣魚鈎にかけて曳いださん
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says the LORD.
汝らは各々その前なる石垣の破壞たる處より奔出てハルモンに逃往ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
4 "Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
汝らベテルに往て罪を犯しギルガルに往て益々おほく罪を犯せ 朝ごとに汝らの犠牲を携へゆけ 三日ごとに汝らの什一を携へゆけ
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says the LORD.
酵いれたる者を感謝祭に獻げ願意よりする禮物を召てこれを告示せ イスラエルの子孫よ 汝らは斯するを好むなりと主ヱホバ言たまふ
6 "I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
また我汝らの一切の邑に於て汝らの齒を清からしめ汝らの一切の處において汝らの食を乏しからしめたり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言給ふ
7 "I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.
また我収穫までには尚三月あるに雨をとどめて汝らに下さず かの邑には雨を降しこの邑には雨をふらさざりき 此田圃は雨を得 彼田圃は雨を得ずして枯れたり
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
二三の邑別の一の邑に躚めきゆきて水を飮ども飽ことあたはず 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
9 "I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
我枯死殻と朽腐穗とをもて汝等を撃なやませり また汝らの衆多の園と葡萄園と無花果樹と橄欖樹とは蝗これを食へり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
10 "I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
我なんぢらの中にエジプトに爲し如く疫病をおこし劍をもて汝らの少き人を殺し又汝らの馬を奪さり汝らの營の臭氣をして騰りて汝らの鼻を撲しめたり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバいひたまふ
11 "I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
我なんぢらの中の邑を滅すことソドム、ゴモラを神の滅したまひし如くしたれば汝らは熖の中より取いだしたる燃柴のごとくなれり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
12 "Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
イスラエルよ然ば我かく汝に行はん 我是を汝に行ふべければイスラエルよ汝の神に會ふ準備をせよ
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of hosts, is his name."
彼は即ち山を作りなし風を作り出し人の思想の如何なるをその人に示しまた晨光をかへて黑暗となし地の高處を踏む者なり その名を萬軍の神ヱホバといふ
