Amos 8
1 The Lord God showed me this: a basket of summer fruit.
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
2 ‘What do you see, Amos?’ he asked. I replied, ‘A basket of ripe summer fruit.’ Then the Lord said to me: The time is ripe for my people Israel, I will no longer overlook their crimes.
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
3 The singing women in the palace will howl on that day, says the Lord: Corpses everywhere, thrown out in silence.
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
4 Listen to this, you who trample on the needy, who oppress the poor of the earth,
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
5 saying: When will the feast of the new moon be over so that we may sell grain? And the sabbath ended so that we may offer wheat for sale? Reducing the measure and increasing the price, cheating with false scales,
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
6 mixing the sweepings in with the wheat. Then we can buy the poor for money, the needy for a pair of shoes.
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
7 Now the Lord has taken an oath by the Pride of Jacob: I will never forget all their deeds!
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
8 Because of this won’t the land quake, and all its inhabitants mourn? Won’t the whole of it rise like the Nile, churn and subside like the Nile in Egypt?
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
9 On that day, says the Lord God, I will make the sun set at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.
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
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, all your songs into dirges. I will cause you to dress in sackcloth, every head shaved. I will make you mourn like you have lost your only son, all that happens will end in bitterness.
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
11 The day is coming, says the Lord God, when I will send hunger in the land. Not a famine of bread or thirst for water, but for hearing the message of the Lord.
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
12 Then they will wander from sea to sea, from the north to the east, to seek a message from the Lord, but they will not find it.
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
13 In that day beautiful girls and strong young men will faint from thirst.
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
14 Those who take oaths by the shameful idol of Samaria, who swear, “As surely as your God lives, O Dan!” and, “By the sacred way to Beer-sheba!” – they will fall and never rise again.
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
