阿摩司书 1
1 当犹大王乌西雅，以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在位的时候，大地震前二年，提哥亚牧人中的阿摩司得默示论以色列。
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 他说：耶和华必从锡安吼叫， 从耶路撒冷发声； 牧人的草场要悲哀； 迦密的山顶要枯干。
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 耶和华如此说： 大马士革三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她以打粮食的铁器打过基列。
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.
4 我却要降火在哈薛的家中， 烧灭便·哈达的宫殿。
And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
5 我必折断大马士革的门闩， 剪除亚文平原的居民和伯·伊甸掌权的。 亚兰人必被掳到吉珥。 这是耶和华说的。
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 耶和华如此说： 迦萨三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她掳掠众民交给以东。
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 我却要降火在迦萨的城内， 烧灭其中的宫殿。
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
8 我必剪除亚实突的居民和亚实基伦掌权的， 也必反手攻击以革伦。 非利士人所余剩的必都灭亡。 这是主耶和华说的。
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 耶和华如此说： 泰尔三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她将众民交给以东， 并不记念弟兄的盟约。
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.
10 我却要降火在泰尔的城内， 烧灭其中的宫殿。
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
11 耶和华如此说： 以东三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她拿刀追赶兄弟，毫无怜悯， 发怒撕裂，永怀忿怒。
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 我却要降火在提幔， 烧灭波斯拉的宫殿。
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
13 耶和华如此说： 亚扪人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因为他们剖开基列的孕妇， 扩张自己的境界。
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 我却要在争战呐喊的日子， 旋风狂暴的时候， 点火在拉巴的城内， 烧灭其中的宫殿。
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 他们的王和首领必一同被掳去。 这是耶和华说的。
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
