Amos 5
1 Here ye this word, for Y reise on you a weilyng.
以色列家啊，要聽我為你們所作的哀歌：
2 The hous of Israel felle doun, he schal not put to, that it rise ayen; the virgyn of Israel is cast doun in to hir lond, noon is that schal reise hir.
以色列民跌倒，不得再起； 躺在地上，無人攙扶。
3 For the Lord God seith these thingis, The citee of which a thousynde wenten out, an hundrid schulen be left ther ynne; and of which an hundrid wenten out, ten schulen be left ther ynne, in the hous of Israel.
主耶和華如此說： 以色列家的城發出一千兵的，只剩一百； 發出一百的，只剩十個。
4 For the Lord seith these thingis to the hous of Israel, Seke ye me, and ye schulen lyue;
耶和華向以色列家如此說： 你們要尋求我，就必存活。
5 and nyle ye seke Bethel, and nyle ye entre in to Galgala, and ye schulen not passe to Bersabee; for whi Galgal schal be led caitif, and Bethel schal be vnprofitable.
不要往伯特利尋求， 不要進入吉甲， 不要過到別是巴； 因為吉甲必被擄掠， 伯特利也必歸於無有。
6 Seke ye the Lord, and lyue ye, lest perauenture the hous of Joseph be brent as fier; and it schal deuoure Bethel, and there schal not be, that schal quenche.
要尋求耶和華，就必存活， 免得他在約瑟家像火發出， 在伯特利焚燒，無人撲滅。
7 Whiche conuerten doom in to wermod, and forsaken riytwisnesse in the lond,
你們這使公平變為茵蔯、 將公義丟棄於地的，
8 and forsaken hym that makith Arture and Orion, and hym that turneth derknessis in to the morewtid, and him that chaungith dai in to niyt; which clepith watris of the see, and heldith out hem on the face of erthe; the Lord is name of hym.
要尋求那造昴星和參星， 使死蔭變為晨光， 使白日變為黑夜， 命海水來澆在地上的－ 耶和華是他的名；
9 Which scorneth distriyng on the stronge, and bringith robbyng on the myyti.
他使力強的忽遭滅亡， 以致保障遭遇毀壞。
10 Thei hatiden a man repreuynge in the yate, and thei wlatiden a man spekynge perfitli.
你們怨恨那在城門口責備人的， 憎惡那說正直話的。
11 Therfor for that that ye robbiden a pore man, and token fro hym the chosun prey, ye schulen bilde housis with square stoon, and ye schulen not dwelle in hem; ye schulen plaunte moost louyd vyneyerdis, and ye schulen not drynke the wyn of hem.
你們踐踏貧民， 向他們勒索麥子； 你們用鑿過的石頭建造房屋， 卻不得住在其內； 栽種美好的葡萄園， 卻不得喝所出的酒。
12 For Y knew youre grete trespassis many, and youre stronge synnes; enemyes of `the riytwis man, takynge yifte, and berynge doun pore men in the yate.
我知道你們的罪過何等多， 你們的罪惡何等大。 你們苦待義人，收受賄賂，在城門口屈枉窮乏人。
13 Therfor a prudent man schal be stille in that time, for the time is yuel.
所以通達人見這樣的時勢必靜默不言， 因為時勢真惡。
14 Seke ye good, and not yuel, that ye lyue, and the Lord God of oostis schal be with you, as ye seiden.
你們要求善， 不要求惡，就必存活。 這樣，耶和華－萬軍之上帝 必照你們所說的與你們同在。
15 Hate ye yuel, and loue ye good, and ordeyne ye in the gate doom; if perauenture the Lord God of oostis haue merci on the remenauntis of Joseph.
要惡惡好善， 在城門口秉公行義； 或者耶和華－萬軍之上帝向約瑟的餘民施恩。
16 Therfor the Lord God of oostis, hauynge lordschipe, seith these thingis, Weilyng schal be in alle stretis, and in alle thingis that ben withoutforth it schal be seid, Wo! wo! and thei schulen clepe an erthe tilier to mourenyng, and hem that kunnen weile, to weilyng.
主耶和華－萬軍之上帝如此說： 在一切寬闊處必有哀號的聲音； 在各街市上必有人說： 哀哉！哀哉！ 又必叫農夫來哭號， 叫善唱哀歌的來舉哀。
17 And weilyng schal be in alle weies, for Y schal passe forth in the myddil of `the see, seith the Lord.
在各葡萄園必有哀號的聲音， 因為我必從你中間經過。 這是耶和華說的。
18 Wo to hem that desiren the dai of the Lord; wher to desiren ye it to you? This dai of the Lord schal be derknessis, and not liyt.
想望耶和華日子來到的有禍了！ 你們為何想望耶和華的日子呢？ 那日黑暗沒有光明，
19 As if a man renne fro the face of a lioun, and a bere renne to hym; and he entre in to the hous, and lene with his hond on the wal, and a serpent dwellynge in schadewe bite hym.
景況好像人躲避獅子又遇見熊， 或是進房屋以手靠牆，就被蛇咬。
20 Whether the dai of the Lord schal not be derknessis, and not liyt; and myist, and not schynyng ther ynne?
耶和華的日子不是黑暗沒有光明嗎？ 不是幽暗毫無光輝嗎？
21 Y hatide and castide awei youre feeste daies, and Y schal not take the odour of youre cumpenyes.
我厭惡你們的節期， 也不喜悅你們的嚴肅會。
22 That if ye offren to me youre brent sacrifices, and yiftis, Y schal not resseyue, and Y schal not biholde avowis of youre fatte thingis.
你們雖然向我獻燔祭和素祭， 我卻不悅納， 也不顧你們用肥畜獻的平安祭；
23 Do thou awei fro me the noise of thi songis, and Y schal not here the songis of thin harpe.
要使你們歌唱的聲音遠離我， 因為我不聽你們彈琴的響聲。
24 And doom schal be schewid as watir, and riytfulnesse as a strong streem.
惟願公平如大水滾滾， 使公義如江河滔滔。
25 Whether ye, the hous of Israel, offriden to me sacrifices for enemyes to be ouercomun, and sacrifice in desert fourti yeeris?
「以色列家啊，你們在曠野四十年，豈是將祭物和供物獻給我呢？
26 And ye han bore tabernaclis to Moloch, youre god, and ymage of youre idols, the sterre of youre god, which ye maden to you.
你們抬着為自己所造之摩洛的帳幕和偶像的龕，並你們的神星。
27 And Y schal make you for to passe ouer Damask, seide the Lord; God of oostis is the name of him.
所以我要把你們擄到大馬士革以外。」這是耶和華－名為萬軍之上帝說的。
