悲しみの歌と悔い改めへの招き
5 イスラエルよ。私は悲痛な思いで、あなたがたのためにこの悲しみの歌を歌います。
2 「美しいおとめイスラエルは砕かれて倒れ、
地に押しつぶされて、起き上がることができない。
助けてくれる者もなく、孤独のうちに死んでいく。」
3 神である主がこう言うからです。
「戦場に千人を送り出した町には百人が帰り、
百人を送り出した町には十人だけ帰って来る。」
4 主はイスラエルの民に告げます。
「わたしを求めよ。そして生きよ。
5 ベテルやギルガルやベエル・シェバの偶像を求めるな。
ギルガルの民は連れ去られ、
ベテルの民には必ず悲しみが襲いかかる。」
6 主を求めて、生きなさい。
さもないと、主は炎のように
イスラエルを通り過ぎて焼き尽くします。
ベテルの偶像はどれも、その火を消すことができません。
7 邪悪な者たち。
あなたがたは正義の名のもとに
貧しい人を虐げています。
正義も公正も、あなたがたには無意味な絵空事です。
8 すばる座やオリオン座を造った方を求めなさい。
その方は、闇を朝に、昼を夜に変え、
海から水を呼んで地上に雨として降らせます。
その名は主。
9 目にもとまらぬ速さと力で、強い者を打ちのめし、
すべての要塞をつぶします。
10 あなたがたは公平な裁判官を憎んでいます。
真実を告げる者をさげすんでいます。
11 貧しい者たちを踏みつけ、税や罰金や利子と言っては、
わずかしかない持ち物を取り上げています。
それゆえ、今建てている石造りの美しい家に、
あなたがたは決して住めません。
今植えている見事なぶどう園から作る
ぶどう酒も飲めません。
12 あなたがたの罪が極悪で、
いかに数多いかを知っています。
あなたがたは、良いことすべてに反対しています。
わいろを取り、
貧しい人の益になることは何もしません。
13 それゆえ賢い者たちは、
あなたがたが罰せられる恐ろしい日には、
主に口出しをしようとはしません。
14 正しいことをし、悪から逃げなさい。
そのように生きなさい。
そうすれば、願いどおり、
全能の主が助けてくれます。
15 悪を憎み、善を愛して、正しい裁判を行いなさい。
あるいは、天の軍勢の神である主が、
残っているご自身の民を
あわれんでくださるかもしれない。
16 それゆえ、神である主は言います。
「あちらの通りでもこちらの道でも、叫ぶ声が起こる。
農夫を呼んで、いっしょに泣いてくれるように頼め。
泣き男や泣き女を呼んで、大いに嘆かせよ。
17 わたしが通り過ぎて破壊するので、
どのぶどう畑にも悲しみと叫びがある。
主の日
18 あなたがたは、『早く主の日がきてくれたら、
神が敵の手から救い出してくださるのに』と言う。
だが自分たちが何を願っているのか、わかっていない。
その日は、光でも希望でもない。
暗闇と絶滅の日だ。
それはなんと恐ろしい闇であろう。
喜びや希望の光などかけらもない。
19 その日あなたがたは、ライオンに追いかけられていて
熊に出会った者のようだ。
あるいは、真っ暗な部屋で壁に寄りかかると、
手が蛇に触れた者のよだ。
20 まさに、あなたがたにとって暗闇と絶望の日だ。
21 あなたがたが祭りと聖なる集会を開いて、
わたしをあがめているふりをするのは、
もうごめんだ。
22 焼き尽くすいけにえも穀物のささげ物も受けたくない。
和解のいけにえも見たくない。
23 賛美歌も歌うな。
わたしの耳には騒音にしか聞こえない。
どんなに甘い響きを奏でても、
あなたがたの音楽は聞きたくない。
24 わたしは、正義が貫かれ、
正しい行いが堂々と通じるのを見たい。
25-27 イスラエルよ。
あなたがたは四十年、荒野にいる間
わたしにいけにえをささげた。
だが、ほんとうの関心はいつも異教の神々にあった。
あなたがたの王サクテや星の神キウン、
自分たちが造った神々の像に。
それゆえ、あなたがたといっしょに、
それらの神々も、ダマスコのはるか東へ捕らえ移そう。」
全能の主が、こう言うのです。
Amos 5
New International Version
Amos 5
New International Version
A Lament and Call to Repentance
5 Hear this word, Israel, this lament(A) I take up concerning you:
2 “Fallen is Virgin(B) Israel,
never to rise again,
deserted in her own land,
with no one to lift her up.(C)”
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:
“Your city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left.(D)”
4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:
“Seek(E) me and live;(F)
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(G)
do not journey to Beersheba.(H)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](I)”
6 Seek(J) the Lord and live,(K)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(L)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(M) will have no one to quench it.(N)
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(R)
who turns midnight into dawn(S)
and darkens day into night,(T)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(U)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(V)
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(W)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(X)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(Y)
and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,(Z)
you will not live in them;(AA)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.(AB)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(AC)
There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes(AD)
and deprive the poor(AE) of justice in the courts.(AF)
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet(AG) in such times,
for the times are evil.(AH)
14 Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.(AI)
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is.
15 Hate evil,(AJ) love good;(AK)
maintain justice in the courts.(AL)
Perhaps(AM) the Lord God Almighty will have mercy(AN)
on the remnant(AO) of Joseph.
16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says:
“There will be wailing(AP) in all the streets(AQ)
and cries of anguish in every public square.
The farmers(AR) will be summoned to weep
and the mourners to wail.
17 There will be wailing(AS) in all the vineyards,
for I will pass through(AT) your midst,”
says the Lord.(AU)
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(AV)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(AW)
That day will be darkness,(AX) not light.(AY)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(AZ)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(BA)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(BB) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(BC)
21 “I hate,(BD) I despise your religious festivals;(BE)
your assemblies(BF) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(BG) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(BH)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(BI)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(BJ)
24 But let justice(BK) roll on like a river,
righteousness(BL) like a never-failing stream!(BM)
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(BN) and offerings
forty years(BO) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(BP)
the star of your god[b]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(BQ) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(BR)
Amos 5
King James Version
Amos 5
King James Version
5 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
