< Amos 3 >

1 Hear ye this word, which Yahweh hath spoken, concerning you, ye sons of Israel, —concerning 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 Only you, have I acknowledged, of all the families of the ground, For this cause, will I 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 此故に我なんぢらの諸の罪のために汝らを罰せん
3 Can two walk together, —except they meet?
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, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?
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 upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise from the ground, when it hath, captured nothing?
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 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect?
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 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, —except he have disclosed his secret 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 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to 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 Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt, —and say ye—Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold ye—the great disorders in the midst thereof, and the oppressed within her.
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 Therefore do they not know how to do right, Declareth Yahweh, who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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 My Lord, Yahweh, An adversary! Yea round about the land, —and he who shall bring down, from thee, thy strength, And spoiled shall be thy palaces.
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 Yahweh, Just as a shepherd rescueth, out of the mouth of the lion, a couple of shankbones, or the tip of an ear, so, shall be rescued the sons of Israel, who are tarrying in Samaria, in the corner of the divan, and on the damask of the luxurious couch.
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 bear witness, throughout the house of Jacob, —Commandeth My Lord, Yahweh, 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 That, in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I punish, concerning the altars of Bethel, So shall the horns of the altar, be broken off, and they shall 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 along with the summer house, —and the houses of ivory, shall be destroyed! and the great houses, shall disappear, Declareth Yahweh.
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
