アモス書 2
1 ヱホバかく言たまふ モアブは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼はエドムの王の骨を燒て灰となせり
Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
2 我モアブに火を遣りケリオテの一切の殿を焚ん モアブは噪擾と吶喊の聲と喇叭の音の中に死ん
But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.
3 我その中より審判長を絶除きその諸の牧伯を之とともに殺さん ヱホバはこれを言ふ
And I will destroy the judge out of her, and kill all her princes with him, says the Lord.
4 ヱホバかく言たまふ ユダは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らはヱホバの律法を輕んじその法度を守らずその先祖等が從ひし僞の物に惑はさる
Thus says the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
5 我ユダに火を遣りエルサレムの諸の殿を焚ん
And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
6 ヱホバかく言たまふ イスラエルは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らは義者を金のために賣り貧者を鞋一足のために賣る
Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
7 彼らは弱き者の頭に地の塵のあらんことを喘ぎて求め柔かき者の道を曲げ又父子共に一人の女子に行て我聖名を汚す
wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
8 彼らは質に取れる衣服を一切の壇の傍に敷きてその上に偃し罰金をもて得たる酒をその神の家に飮む
And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
9 嚮に我はアモリ人を彼らの前に絶たり アモリ人はその高きこと香柏のごとくその強きこと橡の樹のごとくなりしが我その上の果と下の根とをほろぼしたり
Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 我は汝らをエジプトの地より携へのぼり四十年のあひだ荒野において汝らを導き終にアモリ人の地を汝らに獲させたり
And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.
11 我は汝らの子等の中より預言者を興し汝らの少者の中よりナザレ人を興したり イスラエルの子孫よ然るにあらずや ヱホバこれを言ふ
And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says the Lord.
12 然るに汝らはナザレ人に酒を飮ませ預言者に命じて預言するなかれと言り
But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 視よ我麥束を積滿せる車の物を壓するがごとく汝らを壓せん
Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
14 その時は疾走者も逃るに暇あらず 強き者もその力を施すを得ず 勇士も己の生命を救ふこと能はず
And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
15 弓を執る者も立ことを得ず 足駛の者も自ら救ふ能はず 馬に騎れる者も己の生命を救ふこと能はず
and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
16 勇士の中の心剛き者もその日には裸にて逃ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
