Amos 3

1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:

イスラエルの子孫よヱホバが汝らにむかひて言ところ我がエジプトの地より導き上りし全家にむかひて言ところの此言を聽け

2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.

地の諸の族の中にて我ただ汝ら而已を知れり この故に我なんぢらの諸の罪のために汝らを罰せん

3 Will two walk together, except they have agreed?

二人もし相會せずば爭で共に歩かんや

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

獅子もし獲物あらずば豈林の中に吼んや 猛獅子もし物を攫まずば豈その穴より聲を出さんや

5 Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?

もし羂の設なくば鳥あに地に張れる網にかからんや 網もし何の得るところも無くば豈地よりあがらんや

6 Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

邑にて喇叭を吹かば民おどらかざらんや 邑に災禍のおこるはヱホバのこれを降し給ふならずや

7 For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

夫主ヱホバはその隱れたる事をその僕なる預言者に傳へずしては何事をも爲たまはざるなり

8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

獅子吼ゆ 誰か懼れざらんや 主ヱホバ言語たまふ 誰か預言せざらんや

9 Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'

アシドドの一切の殿に傳へエジプトの地の一切の殿に宣て言へ 汝等サマリヤの山々に集りその中にある大なる紛亂を觀その中間におこなはるる虐遇を觀よ

10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

ヱホバいひたまふ 彼らは正義をおこなふことを知ず 虐げ取し物と奪ひたる物とをその宮殿に積蓄ふ

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ 敵ありて此國を攻かこみ汝の權力を汝より取下さん 汝の一切の殿は掠めらるべし

12 Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.

ヱホバかく言たまふ 牧羊者は獅子の口より羊の兩足あるひは片耳を取かへし得るのみ サマリヤに於て床の隅またはダマスコ錦の榻に坐するイスラエルの子孫もその救はるること是のごとくならん

13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.

萬軍の神 主ヱホバかく言たまふ 汝ら聽てヤコブの家に證せよ

14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

我イスラエルの諸の罪を罰する日にはベテルの壇を罰せん 其壇の角は折て地に落べし

15 And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

我また冬の家および夏の家をうたん 象牙の家ほろび大きなる家失ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
