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 sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because it burnt the bones of the King of Edom into 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
Therefore will I send a fire vpon Moab, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.

And I will cut off the iudge out of the mids thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, sayth 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 saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Iudah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord, and haue not kept his commandementes, and their lies caused them to erre after the which their fathers haue walked.
5 我ユダに火を遣りエルサレムの諸の殿を焚ん
Therefore will I send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.

Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they solde the righteous for siluer and the poore for shooes.
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
They gape ouer the head of the poore, in the dust of the earth, and peruert the wayes of the meeke: and a man and his father will goe in to a mayde to dishonour mine holy Name.
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 they lye downe vpon clothes layde to pledge by euery altar: and they drinke the wine of the condemned 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
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before the, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the okes: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruite from aboue, and his roote 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
Also I brought you vp from the land of Egypt, and led you fourtie yeres thorowe the wildernesse, to possesse the land of the Amorite.
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 raysed vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your yong men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, sayth 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 ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie 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
Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.
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
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue 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
Nor he that handleth the bowe, shall stand, and he that is swift of foote, shall not escape, neyther shall he that rideth the horse, saue 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 he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.
