アモス書 8
1 主ヱホバの我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち熟したる果物一筐あり
Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.
2 ヱホバわれにむかひてアモス汝何を見るやと言たまひければ熟したる果物一筐を見ると答へしにヱホバ我に言たまはく我民イスラエルの終いたれり 我ふたたび彼らを見過しにせじ
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A basket of sommer fruite. Then sayd the Lord vnto me, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel, I wil passe by them no more.
3 主ヱホバ言たまふ 其日には宮殿の歌は哀哭に變らん 死屍おびただしくあり 人これを遍き處に投棄ん 默せよ
And the songs of the Temple shalbe howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: many dead bodies shalbe in euery place: they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 汝ら喘ぎて貧しき者に迫り且地の困難者を滅す者よ之を聽け
Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,
5 汝らは言ふ月朔は何時過去んか 我等穀物を賣んとす 安息日は何時過去んか 我ら麥倉を開かんとす 我らエパを小くしシケルを大くし僞の權衡をもて欺く事をなし
Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?
6 銀をもて賤しき者を買ひ鞋一足をもて貧き者を買ひかつ屑麥を賣いださんと
That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.
7 ヱホバ、ヤコブの榮光を指て誓ひて言たまふ 我かならず彼等の一切の行爲を何時までも忘れじ
The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.
8 之がために地震はざらんや地に住る者みな哭かざらんや 地みな河のごとく噴あがらん エジプトの河のごとく湧あがり又沈まん
Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
9 主ヱホバ言たまふ其日には我日をして眞晝に沒せしめ地をして白晝に暗くならしめ
And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.
10 汝らの節筵を悲傷に變らせ汝らの歌を盡く哀哭に變らせ一切の人に麻布を腰に纒はしめ一切の人に頂を剃しめ其日をして獨子を喪へる哀傷のごとくならしめ其終をして苦き日のごとくならしめん
And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.
11 主ヱホバ言たまふ 視よ日至らんとす その時我饑饉たを此國におくらん 是はパンに乏しきに非ず 水に渇くに非ず ヱホバの言を聽ことの饑饉なり
Beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the lande, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
12 彼らは海より海とさまよひ歩き北より東と奔まはりてヱホバの言を求めん 然ど之を得ざるべし
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North euen vnto the East shall they run to and from to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.
13 その日には美しき處女も少き男もともに渇のために絶いらん
In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.
14 かのサマリヤの罪を指て誓ひダンよ汝の神は活くと言ひまたベエルシバの路は活くと言る者等は必ず仆れん 復興ることあらじ
They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.
