Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

我看见主站在祭坛旁边； 他说：你要击打柱顶，使门槛震动， 打碎柱顶，落在众人头上； 所剩下的人，我必用刀杀戮， 无一人能逃避，无一人能逃脱。

2 Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down: (Sheol h7585)

他们虽然挖透阴间， 我的手必取出他们来； 虽然爬上天去， 我必拿下他们来； (Sheol h7585)

3 Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

虽然藏在迦密山顶， 我必搜寻，捉出他们来； 虽然从我眼前藏在海底， 我必命蛇咬他们；

4 And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.

虽被仇敌掳去， 我必命刀剑杀戮他们； 我必向他们定住眼目， 降祸不降福。

5 For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

主—万军之耶和华摸地，地就消化， 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼罗河涨起， 如同埃及河落下。

6 It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

那在天上建造楼阁、 在地上安定穹苍、 命海水浇在地上的— 耶和华是他的名。

7 Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?

耶和华说：以色列人哪， 我岂不看你们如古实人吗？ 我岂不是领以色列人出埃及地， 领非利士人出迦斐托， 领亚兰人出吉珥吗？

8 See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.

主耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国， 必将这国从地上灭绝， 却不将雅各家灭绝净尽。 这是耶和华说的。

9 For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.

我必出令， 将以色列家分散在列国中， 好像用筛子筛谷， 连一粒也不落在地上。

10 All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.

我民中的一切罪人说： 灾祸必追不上我们， 也迎不着我们。 他们必死在刀下。

11 In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

到那日，我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕， 堵住其中的破口， 把那破坏的建立起来， 重新修造，像古时一样，

12 So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

使以色列人得以东所余剩的 和所有称为我名下的国。 此乃行这事的耶和华说的。

13 See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.

耶和华说： 日子将到， 耕种的必接续收割的； 踹葡萄的必接续撒种的； 大山要滴下甜酒； 小山都必流奶。

14 And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.

我必使我民以色列被掳的归回； 他们必重修荒废的城邑居住， 栽种葡萄园，喝其中所出的酒， 修造果木园，吃其中的果子。

15 And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.

我要将他们栽于本地， 他们不再从我所赐给他们的地上拔出来。 这是耶和华—你的 神说的。
