Amos 4
1 Give ear to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the hill of Samaria, by whom the poor are kept down, and those in need are crushed; who say to their lords, Get out the wine and give us drink.
你们住撒马利亚山如巴珊母牛的啊， 当听我的话— 你们欺负贫寒的，压碎穷乏的， 对家主说：拿酒来，我们喝吧！
2 The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.
主耶和华指着自己的圣洁起誓说： 日子快到，人必用钩子将你们钩去， 用鱼钩将你们余剩的钩去。
3 And you will go out through the broken places, every one going straight before her, and you will be sent into Harmon, says the Lord.
你们各人必从破口直往前行， 投入哈门。 这是耶和华说的。
4 Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
以色列人哪，任你们往伯特利去犯罪， 到吉甲加增罪过； 每日早晨献上你们的祭物， 每三日奉上你们的十分之一。
5 Let that which is leavened be burned as a praise-offering, let the news of your free offerings be given out publicly; for this is pleasing to you, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
任你们献有酵的感谢祭， 把甘心祭宣传报告给众人， 因为是你们所喜爱的。 这是主耶和华说的。
6 But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
我使你们在一切城中牙齿干净， 在你们各处粮食缺乏， 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
7 And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
在收割的前三月，我使雨停止， 不降在你们那里； 我降雨在这城， 不降雨在那城； 这块地有雨， 那块地无雨； 无雨的就枯干了。
8 So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
这样，两三城的人凑到一城去找水， 却喝不足； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
9 I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
我以旱风、霉烂攻击你们， 你们园中许多菜蔬、葡萄树、 无花果树、橄榄树都被剪虫所吃； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
10 I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
我降瘟疫在你们中间， 像在埃及一样； 用刀杀戮你们的少年人， 使你们的马匹被掳掠， 营中尸首的臭气扑鼻； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
11 And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
我倾覆你们中间的城邑， 如同我从前倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉一样， 使你们好像从火中抽出来的一根柴； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
12 So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
以色列啊，我必向你如此行； 以色列啊，我既这样行， 你当预备迎见你的 神。
13 For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
那创山、造风、将心意指示人、 使晨光变为幽暗、脚踏在地之高处的， 他的名是耶和华—万军之 神。
