< Amos 7 >

1 Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.
主ヱホバの我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち草の再び生ずる時にあたりて彼蝗を造りたまふ その草は王の刈たる後に生じたるものなり
2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.
その蝗地の青物を食盡しし後我言り 主ヱホバよ願くは赦したまへ ヤコブは小し 爭でか立ことを得んと
3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
ヱホバその行へる事につきて悔をなし我これを爲じと言たまふ
4 Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
主ヱホバの我に示したまへる所是のごとし 即ち主ヱホバ火をもて罰せんとて火を呼たまひければ火大淵を焚きまた産業の地を焚かんとす
5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.
時に我言り 主ヱホバよ願くは止みたまへ ヤコブは小し爭でか立ことを得んと
6 This also shall not be, says the Lord.
ヱホバその行へる事につきて悔をなし我これをなさじと主ヱホバ言たまふ
7 Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.
また我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち準縄をもて築ける石垣の上にヱホバ立ちその手に準縄を執たまふ
8 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.
而してヱホバ我にむかひアモス汝何を見るやと言たまひければ準縄を見ると我答へしに主また言たまはく我準縄を我民イスラエルの中に設く 我再び彼らを見過しにせじ
9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
イサクの崇邱は荒されイスラエルの聖所は毀たれん 我劍をもちてヤラベアムの家に起むかはん
10 Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
時にベテルの祭司アマジヤ、イスラエルの王ヤラベアムに言遣しけるはイスラエルの家の眞中にてアモス汝に叛けり 彼の諸の言には此地も堪るあたはざるなり
11 For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
即ちアモスかく言り ヤラベアムは劍によりて死ん イスラエルは必ず擄へられてゆきてその國を離れんと
12 And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
而してアマジヤ、アモスに言けるは先見者よ 汝往きてユダの地に逃れ彼處にて預言して汝の食物を得よ
13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
然どベテルにては重ねて預言すべからず 是は王の聖所王の宮なればなり
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
アモス對へてアマジヤに言けるは我は預言者にあらず また預言者の子にも非ず 我は牧者なり 桑の樹を作る者なりと
15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.
然るにヱホバ羊に從ふ所より我を取り往て我民イスラエルに預言せよとヱホバわれに宣へり
16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.
今ヱホバの言を聽け 汝は言ふイスラエルにむかひて預言する勿れ イサクの家にむかひて言を出すなかれと
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
是故にヱホバかく言たまふ 汝の妻は邑の中にて妓婦となり汝の男子女子は劍に斃れ汝の地は繩をもて分たれん 而して汝は穢れたる地に死にイスラエルは擄られゆきてその國を離れん
