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 the Lord towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.
If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I 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
If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to 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
If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but for evil 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
It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile 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
The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord 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
To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also 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
Behold the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord.
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 behold I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall 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, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.
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 raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.
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
They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do 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
Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plough, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.
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 back my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their fruit.
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 own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
