アモス書 3
1 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
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 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
“Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 二人もし相會せずば爭で共に歩かんや
Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
4 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
Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
5 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
Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
6 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
If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
7 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
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
8 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
The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
9 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
Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
10 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
“For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
11 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
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
12 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
This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
13 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
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
14 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
On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
15 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
I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
