アモス書 1
1 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
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.
2 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
And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
3 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
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
6 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
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
7 我ガザの石垣の内に火を遣り一切の殿を焚ん
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
8 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
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
9 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
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
12 我テマンに火を遣りポヅラの一切の殿を焚ん
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
13 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
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
14 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
And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
15 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
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
