Amos 1
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
テコアの牧者の中なるアモスの言 是はユダの王ウジヤの世 イスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラベアムの世 地震の二年前に彼が見されたる者にてイスラエルの事を論るなり 其言に云く
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
ヱホバ、シオンより呼號りエルサレムより聲を出したまふ 牧者の牧塲は哀きカルメルの巓は枯る
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
ヱホバかく言たまふ ダマスコは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らは鐵の打禾車をもてギレアデを打り
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
我ハザエルの家に火を遣りベネハダデの宮殿を焚ん
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
我ダマスコの關を碎きアベンの谷の中よりその居民を絶のぞきベテエデンの中より王の杖を執る者を絶のぞかん スリアの民は擄へられてキルにゆかん ヱホバこれを言ふ
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
ヱホバかく言たまふ ガザは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らは俘囚をことごとく曳ゆきてこれをエドムに付せり
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
我ガザの石垣の内に火を遣り一切の殿を焚ん
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
我アシドドの中よりその居民を絶のぞきアシケロンの中より王の杖を執る者を絶除かん 我また手を反してエクロンを撃ん ペリシテ人の遺れる者亡ぶべし 主ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
ヱホバかく言たまふ ツロは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らは俘囚をことごとくエドムに付しまた兄弟の契約を忘れたり
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
我ツロの石垣の内に火を遣り一切の殿を焚ん
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
ヱホバかく言たまふ エドムは三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼は劍をもてその兄弟を追ひ全く憐憫の情を斷ち恒に怒りて人を害し永くその憤恨をたくはへたり
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
我テマンに火を遣りポヅラの一切の殿を焚ん
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
ヱホバかく言たまふ アンモンの人々は三の罪あり 四の罪あれば我かならず之を罰して赦さじ 即ち彼らはその國境を廣めんとてギレアデの孕める婦を剖たり
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
我ラバの石垣の内に火を放ちその一切の殿を焚ん 是は戰鬪の日に吶喊の聲をもて爲され暴風の日に旋風をもて爲されん
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
彼らの王はその牧伯等と諸共に擄へられて往ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
