< アモス書 9 >

1 我觀るに主壇の上に立て言たまはく柱の頭を撃て閾を震はせ之を打碎きて一切の人の首に落かからしめよ 其遺れる者をば我劍をもて殺さん 彼らの逃る者も逃おほすることを得ず 彼らの遁るる者もたすからじ
I saw Jehovah standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.
2 假令かれら陰府に掘くだるとも我手をもて之を其處より曳いださん 假令かれら天に攀のぼるとも我これを其處より曳おろさん (Sheol h7585)
Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
3 假令かれらカルメルの巓に匿るるとも我これを捜して其處より曳いださん 假令かれら海の底に匿れて我目を逃るるとも我蛇に命じて其處にて之を咬しめん
Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.
4 假令かれらその敵に擄はれゆくとも我劍に命じて其處にて之を殺さしめん 我かれらの上に我目を注ぎて災禍を降さん 福祉を降さじ
Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, and not for good.
5 主たる萬軍のヱホバ地に捫れば地鎔けその中に住む者みな哀む 即ち全地は河のごとくに噴あがりエジプトの河のごとくにまた沈むなり
For Jehovah of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.
6 彼は樓閣を天に作り穹蒼の基を地の上に置ゑまた海の水を呼て地の面にこれを斟ぐなり 其名をヱホバといふ
It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Jehovah is his name.
7 ヱホバ言たまふ イスラエルの子孫よ 我は汝らを視ことエテオピア人を觀がごとくするにあらずや 我はイスラエルをエジプトの國よりペリシテ人をカフトルよりスリア人をキルより導き來りしにあらずや
Are you not like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says Jehovah. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
8 視よ我主ヱホバその目を此罪を犯すところの國に注ぎ之を地の面より滅し絶ん 但し我はヤコブの家を盡くは滅さじ ヱホバこれを言ふ
Look, the eyes of Jehovah are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says Jehovah.
9 我すなはち命を下し篩にて物を篩ふがごとくイスラエルの家を萬國の中にて篩はん 一粒も地に落ざるべし
"For, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble will fall to the ground.
10 我民の罪人即ち災禍われらに及ばず我らに降らじと言をる者等は皆劍によりて死ん
All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet us.'
11 其日には我ダビデの倒れたる幕屋を興しその破壞を修繕ひその傾\圯たるを興し古代の日のごとくに之を建なほすべし
On that day I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it as in the days of old;
12 而して彼らはエドムの遺餘者および我名をもて稱へらるる一切の民を獲ん 此事を行ふ ヱホバかく言なり
that the rest of humanity may seek after Jehovah, and all the nations who are called by my name," says Jehovah who does this.
13 ヱホバ言ふ 視よ日いたらんとす その時には耕者は刈者に相繼ぎ葡萄を踐む者は播種者に相繼がん また山々には酒滴り岡は皆鎔て流れん
"Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14 我わが民イスラエルの俘囚を返さん 彼らは荒たる邑々を建なほして其處に住み葡萄園を作りてその酒を飮み園圃を作りてその果を食はん
I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 我かれらをその地に植つけん 彼らは我がこれに與ふる地より重ねて抜とらるることあらじ 汝の神ヱホバこれを言ふ
I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says Jehovah your God.
