Amos 2

1 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

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燒て灰となせり

2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;

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

3 and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says the LORD.

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

4 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected the LORD's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.

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

5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."

我ユダに火を遣りエルサレムの諸の殿を焚ん

6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

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

7 They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;

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

8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

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

9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

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

10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

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

11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says the LORD.

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

12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'

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

13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.

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

14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

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

15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

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

16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says the LORD.

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
