アモス書 6
1 身を安くしてシオンに居る者思ひわづらはずしてサマリヤの山に居る者 諸の國にて勝れたる國の中なる聞高くしてイスラエルの家に就きしたがはるる者は禍なるかな
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
2 カルネに渉りゆき彼處より大ハマテに至りまたペリシテ人のガテに下りて視よ其等は此二國に愈るや 彼らの土地は汝らの土地よりも大なるや
Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
3 汝等は災禍の日をもて尚遠しと爲し強暴の座を近づけ
Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
4 自ら象牙の牀に臥し寢臺の上に身を伸し群の中より羔羊を取り圏の中より犢牛を取て食ひ
They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
5 琴の音にあはせて唄ひ噪ぎダビデのごとくに樂器を製り出し
They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
6 大斝をもて酒を飮み最も貴とき膏を身に抹りヨセフの艱難を憂へざるなり
They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
7 是故に今彼等は擄はれて俘囚人の眞先に立て往んかの身を伸したる者等の嘈の聲止べし
Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
8 萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ 主ヱホバ己を指て誓へり 我ヤコブが誇る所の物を忌嫌ひその宮殿を惡む 我この邑とその中に充る者とを付すべし
The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
9 一の家に十人遺りをるとも皆死ん
And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
10 而してその親戚すなはち之を焚く者その死骸を家より運びいださんとて之を取あげまたその家の奧に潛み居る者に向ひて他になほ汝とともに居る者あるやと言ふとき對へて一人も無しと言ん 此時かの人また言べし 默せよヱホバの名を口に擧ること有べからずと
And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
11 視よヱホバ命を下し大なる家を撃て墟址とならしめ小き家を撃て微塵とならしめたまふ
For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
12 馬あに能く岩の上を走らんや 人あに牛をもて岩を耕へすことを得んや 然るに汝らは公道を毒に變じ正義の果を茵蔯に變じたり
Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
13 汝らは無物を喜び我儕は自分の力をもて角を得しにあらずやと言ふ
Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
14 是をもて萬軍の神ヱホバ言たまふ イスラエルの家よ我一の國を起して汝らに敵せしめん 是はハマテの入口よりアラバの川までも汝らをなやまさん
But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
