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] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.
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
Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than 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
Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,
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
Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst 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
Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
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
Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
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 now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.
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
Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.
9 一の家に十人遺りをるとも皆死ん
And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.
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 lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, 'Is there yet with thee?' And he said, 'None,' then he said, 'Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.'
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 lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little 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
Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
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
O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, 'Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?'
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
Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
