Amos 8
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
主ヱホバの我に示したまへるところ是のごとし 即ち熟したる果物一筐あり
2 He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
ヱホバわれにむかひてアモス汝何を見るやと言たまひければ熟したる果物一筐を見ると答へしにヱホバ我に言たまはく我民イスラエルの終いたれり 我ふたたび彼らを見過しにせじ
3 The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord GOD. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
主ヱホバ言たまふ 其日には宮殿の歌は哀哭に變らん 死屍おびただしくあり 人これを遍き處に投棄ん 黙せよ
4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
汝ら喘ぎて貧しき者に迫り且地の困難者を滅す者よ之を聽け
5 saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the efah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
汝らは言ふ月朔は何時過去んか 我等穀物を賣んとす 安息日は何時過去んか 我ら麥倉を開かんとす 我らエパを小くしシケルを大くし僞の權衡をもて欺く事をなし
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
銀をもて賤しき者を買ひ鞋一足をもて貧き者を買ひかつ屑麥を賣いださんと
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
ヱホバ、ヤコブの榮光を指て誓ひて言たまふ 我かならず彼等の一切の行爲を何時までも忘れじ
8 Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
之がために地震はざらんや地に住る者みな哭かざらんや 地みな河のごとく噴あがらん エジプトの河のごとく湧あがり又沈まん
9 It will happen in that day,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
主ヱホバ言たまふ其日には我日をして眞晝に沒せしめ地をして白晝に暗くならしめ
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
汝らの節筵を悲傷に變らせ汝らの歌を盡く哀哭に變らせ一切の人に麻布を腰に纒はしめ一切の人に頂を剃しめ其日をして獨子を喪へる哀傷のごとくならしめ其終をして苦き日のごとくならしめん
11 Behold, the days come,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the LORD’s words.
主ヱホバ言たまふ 視よ日至らんとす その時 我饑饉を此國におくらん 是はパンに乏しきに非ず 水に渇くに非ず ヱホバの言を聽ことの饑饉なり
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word, and will not find it.
彼らは海より海とさまよひ歩き北より東と奔まはりてヱホバの言を求めん 然ど之を得ざるべし
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
その日には美しき處女も少き男もともに渇のために絶いらん
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
かのサマリヤの罪を指て誓ひダンよ汝の神は活くと言ひまたベエルシバの路は活くと言る者等は必ず仆れん 復興ることあらじ
