Amos 7
1 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
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 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? 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 Jehovah relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says Jehovah.
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 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, Jehovah called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
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 Then I said, "Jehovah, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? 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 Jehovah relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says Jehovah.
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 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
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 Jehovah said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then Jehovah said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
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 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the 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 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent 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 Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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 Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
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 but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a 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 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
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 Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said 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 Now therefore listen to the word of Jehovah: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim 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 says Jehovah: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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
