Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
イスラエルの家よ我が汝らに對ひて宣る此言を聽け 是は哀歎の歌なり
2 'Fallen, not again to rise, hath the virgin of Israel, Left on her land — she hath no raiser up.'
處女イスラエルは仆れて復起あがらず彼は己の地に扑倒さる 之を扶け起す者なし
3 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city that is going out a thousand, Doth leave an hundred, And that which is going out an hundred, Doth leave ten to the house of Israel.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ イスラエルの家においては前に千人出たる邑は只百人のみのこり前に百人出たる邑は只十人のみのこらん
4 For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and live,
ヱホバかくイスラエルの家に言たまふ 汝ら我を求めよ さらば生べし
5 And seek not Beth-El, and Gilgal enter not, And Beer-Sheba pass not through, For Gilgal doth utterly remove, And Beth-El doth become vanity.
ベテルを求むるなかれ ギルガルに往なかれ ベエルシバに赴く勿れ ギルガルは必ず擄へられゆきベテルは無に歸せん
6 Seek ye Jehovah, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it hath consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El.
汝らヱホバを求めよ 然ば生べし 恐くはヱホバ火のごとくにヨセフの家に落くだりたまひてその火これを焼ん ベテルのためにこれを熄す者一人もあらじ
7 Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down,
汝ら公道を茵蔯に變じ正義を地に擲つる者よ
8 The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of death-shade, And day [as] night He hath made dark, Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face of the earth, Jehovah [is] His name;
昴宿および參宿を造り死の蔭を變じて朝となし晝を暗くして夜となし海の水を呼て地の面に溢れさする者を求めよ 其名はヱホバといふ
9 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled against a fortress cometh.
彼は滅亡を忽然強者に臨ましむ 滅亡つひに城に臨む
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And a plain speaker they abominate.
彼らは門にありて勸戒る者を惡み正直を言ふ者を忌嫌ふ
11 Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine.
汝らは貧しき者を踐つけ麥の贐物を之より取る この故に汝らは鑿石の家を建しと雖どもその中に住ことあらじ 美しき葡萄園を作りしと雖どもその酒を飮ことあらじ
12 For I have known — many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And the needy in the gate ye turned aside.
我知る汝らの愆は多く汝らの罪は大なり 汝らは義き者を虐げ賄賂を取り門において貧き者を推抂ぐ
13 Therefore is the wise at that time silent, For an evil time it [is].
是故に今の時は賢き者黙す 是惡き時なればなり
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, And it is so; Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as ye said.
汝ら善を求めよ 惡を求めざれ 然らば汝ら生べし また汝らが言ごとく萬軍の神ヱホバ汝らと偕に在さん
15 Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be Jehovah, God of Hosts, doth pity the remnant of Joseph.
汝ら惡を惡み善を愛し門にて公義を立よ 萬軍の神ヱホバあるひはヨセフの遺れる者を憐れみたまはん
16 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, the Lord, In all broad places [is] lamentation, And in all out-places they say, 'Alas, alas,' And called the husbandman to mourning, And to lamentation the skilful of wailing.
是故に主たる萬軍の神ヱホバかく言たまふ 諸の街衢にて啼ことあらん 諸の大路にて人哀哉哀哉と呼ん 又農夫を呼きたりて哀哭しめ啼女を招きて啼しめん
17 And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into thy midst, said Jehovah.
また諸の葡萄園にも啼こと有べし 其は我汝らの中を通るべければなり ヱホバこれを言たまふ
18 Ho, ye who are desiring the day of Jehovah, Why [is] this to you — the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light,
ヱホバの日を望む者は禍なるかな 汝ら何とてヱホバの日を望むや 是は昏くして光なし
19 As [when] one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.
人 獅子の前を逃れて熊に遇ひ又家にいりてその手を壁に附て蛇に咬るるに宛も似たり
20 Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?
ヱホバの日は昏くして光なく暗にして耀なきに非ずや
21 I have hated — I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
我は汝らの節筵を惡みかつ藐視む また汝らの集會を悦ばじ
22 For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not.
汝ら我に燔祭または素祭を獻ぐるとも我之を受納れじ 汝らの肥たる犢の感謝祭は我これを顧みじ
23 Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.
汝らの歌の聲を我前に絶て汝らの琴の音は我これを聽じ
24 And roll on as waters doth judgment, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
公道を水のごとくに正義をつきざる河のごとくに流れしめよ
25 Sacrifices and offering did ye bring nigh to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
イスラエルの家よ汝らは四十年荒野に居し間 犠牲と供物を我に獻げたりしや
26 And ye bare Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that ye made for yourselves.
かへつて汝らは汝らの王シクテを負ひ汝らの偶像キウンを負へり 是即ち汝らの神とする星にして汝らの自ら造り設けし者なり
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus, Said Jehovah, God of Hosts [is] His name.
然ば我汝らをダマスコの外に移さん 萬軍の神ととなふるヱホバこれを言たまふ
