アモス書 2
1 ヱホバかく言たまふ モアブは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼はエドムの王の骨を焼て灰となせり
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, will I not turn away his punishment; For he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime!
2 我モアブに火を遣りケリオテの一切の殿を焚ん モアブは噪擾と吶喊の聲と喇叭の音の中に死ん
But I will send a fire on Moab, Which shall devour the palaces of Kirioth; And Moab shall die amid tumults, Amid the war-shout, and the sound of the trumpet.
3 我その中より審判長を絶除きその諸の牧伯を之とともに殺さん ヱホバはこれを言ふ
I will destroy the judge from the midst of him, And slay all the princes with him, saith Jehovah.
4 ヱホバかく言たまふ ユダは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らはヱホバの律法を輕んじその法度を守らずその先祖等が從ひし僞の物に惑はさる
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment; For they have despised the law of Jehovah, And have not kept his statutes, And their idols have caused them to err, After which their fathers walked.
5 我ユダに火を遣りエルサレムの諸の殿を焚ん
But I will send a fire upon Judah, Which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 ヱホバかく言たまふ イスラエルは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らは義者を金のために賣り貧者を鞋一足のために賣る
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, will I not turn away their punishment. For they sell the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 彼らは弱き者の頭に地の塵のあらんことを喘ぎて求め柔かき者の道を曲げ又父子共に一人の女子に行て我聖名を汚す
They pant for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And pervert the cause of the afflicted. The son and the father go in to the same damsel, To dishonor my holy name.
8 彼らは質に取れる衣服を一切の壇の傍に敷きてその上に偃し罰金をもて得たる酒をその神の家に飮む
They lay themselves down upon pledged garments Near every altar; And drink wine, procured by fines, In the house of their gods.
9 嚮に我はアモリ人を彼らの前に絶たり アモリ人はその高きこと香柏のごとくその強きこと橡の樹のごとくなりしが我その上の果と下の根とをほろぼしたり
Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, Who were tall as the cedars, And strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above, And their roots beneath.
10 我は汝らをエジプトの地より携へのぼり四十年のあひだ荒野において汝らを導き終にアモリ人の地を汝らに獲させたり
I brought you up from the land of Egypt, And led you in the desert forty years, That ye might possess the land of the Amorite.
11 我は汝らの子等の中より預言者を興し汝らの少者の中よりナザレ人を興したり イスラエルの子孫よ然るにあらずや ヱホバこれを言ふ
Of your sons also I raised up prophets, And of your young men Nazarites; Is it not even so, O ye sons of Israel? saith Jehovah.
12 然るに汝らはナザレ人に酒を飮ませ預言者に命じて預言するなかれと言り
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink, And commanded the prophets, Saying, Prophesy not!
13 視よ我麥束を積滿せる車の物を壓するがごとく汝らを壓せん
Behold, I will press you down, As a wagon presseth down that is full of sheaves.
14 その時は疾走者も逃るに暇あらず 強き者もその力を施すを得ず 勇士も己の生命を救ふこと能はず
And flight shall fail the swift, And the strong shall not exert his strength, And the mighty shall not save his life,
15 弓を執る者も立ことを得ず 足駛の者も自ら救ふ能はず 馬に騎れる者も己の生命を救ふこと能はず
And he that handleth the bow shall not stand, And the swift of foot shall not save himself, And the horseman shall not escape with his life.
16 勇士の中の心剛き者もその日には裸にて逃ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
He that is strong in heart among the mighty Shall, in that day, flee away naked, saith Jehovah.
