Amos 4
1 You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”
バシヤンの牝牛等よ汝ら此言を聽け 汝らはサマリヤの山に居り弱者を虐げ貧者を壓し又その主にむかひて此に持きたりて我らに飮せよと言ふ
2 But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
主ヱホバ己の聖を指し誓ひて云ふ 視よ日汝らの上に臨む その日には人汝らを鈎にかけ汝等の遺餘者を釣魚鈎にかけて曳いださん
3 [Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
汝らは各々その前なる石垣の破壞たる處より奔出てハルモンに逃往ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
4 Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
汝らベテルに往て罪を犯しギルガルに往て益々おほく罪を犯せ 朝ごとに汝らの犠牲を携へゆけ 三日ごとに汝らの什一を携へゆけ
5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
酵いれたる者を感謝祭に獻げ願意よりする禮物を召てこれを告示せ イスラエルの子孫よ 汝らは斯するを好むなりと主ヱホバ言たまふ
6 I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
また我汝らの一切の邑に於て汝らの齒を清からしめ汝らの一切の處において汝らの食を乏しからしめたり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言給ふ
7 When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.
また我収穫までには尚 三月あるに雨をとどめて汝らに下さず かの邑には雨を降しこの邑には雨をふらさざりき 此田圃は雨を得 彼田圃は雨を得ずして枯れたり
8 People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
二三の邑別の一の邑に躚めきゆきて水を飮ども飽ことあたはず 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
9 I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
我枯死殻と朽腐穗とをもて汝等を撃なやませり また汝らの衆多の園と葡萄園と無花果樹と橄欖樹とは蝗これを食へり 然るに汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
10 I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
我なんぢらの中にエジプトに爲し如く疫病をおこし劍をもて汝らの少き人を殺し又汝らの馬を奪さり汝らの營の臭氣をして騰りて汝らの鼻を撲しめたり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバいひたまふ
11 I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
我なんぢらの中の邑を滅すことソドム、ゴモラを神の滅したまひし如くしたれば汝らは熖の中より取いだしたる燃柴のごとくなれり 然るも汝らは我に歸らずとヱホバ言たまふ
12 So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
イスラエルよ然ば我かく汝に行はん 我是を汝に行ふべければイスラエルよ汝の神に會ふ準備をせよ
13 I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
彼は即ち山を作りなし風を作り出し人の思想の如何なるをその人に示しまた晨光をかへて黒暗となし地の高處を踏む者なり その名を萬軍の神ヱホバといふ
