< Amos 3 >
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
イスラエルの子孫よヱホバが汝らにむかひて言ところ我がエジプトの地より導き上りし全家にむかひて言ところの此言を聽け
2 "You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."
地の諸の族の中にて我ただ汝ら而已を知れり この故に我なんぢらの諸の罪のために汝らを罰せん
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
二人もし相會せずば爭で共に歩かんや
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
獅子もし獲物あらずば豈林の中に吼んや 猛獅子もし物を攫まずば豈その穴より聲を出さんや
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
もし羂の設なくば鳥あに地に張れる網にかからんや 網もし何の得るところも無くば豈地よりあがらんや
6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless YHWH has done it?
邑にて喇叭を吹かば民おどらかざらんや 邑に災禍のおこるはヱホバのこれを降し給ふならずや
7 Surely YHWH will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
夫主ヱホバはその隱れたる事をその僕なる預言者に傳へずしては何事をも爲たまはざるなり
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? YHWH has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
獅子吼ゆ 誰か懼れざらんや 主ヱホバ言語たまふ 誰か預言せざらんや
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountain of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."
アシドドの一切の殿に傳へエジプトの地の一切の殿に宣て言へ 汝等サマリヤの山々に集りその中にある大なる紛亂を觀その中間におこなはるる虐遇を觀よ
10 "Indeed they do not know to do right," says YHWH, "Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces."
ヱホバいひたまふ 彼らは正義をおこなふことを知ず 虐げ取し物と奪ひたる物とをその宮殿に積蓄ふ
11 Therefore thus says YHWH: "An adversary will surround the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered."
是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ 敵ありて此國を攻かこみ汝の權力を汝より取下さん 汝の一切の殿は掠めらるべし
12 Thus says YHWH: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
ヱホバかく言たまふ 牧羊者は獅子の口より羊の兩足あるひは片耳を取かへし得るのみ サマリヤに於て床の隅またはダマスコ錦の榻に坐するイスラエルの子孫もその救はるること是のごとくならん
13 "Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says YHWH, the God of hosts.
萬軍の神 主ヱホバかく言たまふ 汝ら聽てヤコブの家に證せよ
14 "For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
我イスラエルの諸の罪を罰する日にはベテルの壇を罰せん 其壇の角は折て地に落べし
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says YHWH.
我また冬の家および夏の家をうたん 象牙の家ほろび大きなる家失ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
