阿摩司书 2
1 耶和华如此说： 摩押三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她将以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 我却要降火在摩押， 烧灭加略的宫殿。 摩押必在哄嚷呐喊吹角之中死亡。
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 我必剪除摩押中的审判者， 将其中的一切首领和他一同杀戮。 这是耶和华说的。
and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says Jehovah.
4 耶和华如此说： 犹大人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因为他们厌弃耶和华的训诲， 不遵守他的律例。 他们列祖所随从虚假的偶像使他们走迷了。
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected Jehovah's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
5 我却要降火在犹大， 烧灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。
But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
6 耶和华如此说： 以色列人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因他们为银子卖了义人， 为一双鞋卖了穷人。
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 他们见穷人头上所蒙的灰也都垂涎， 阻碍谦卑人的道路。 父子同一个女子行淫， 亵渎我的圣名。
They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
8 他们在各坛旁铺人所当的衣服，卧在其上， 又在他们神的庙中喝受罚之人的酒。
and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 我从以色列人面前除灭亚摩利人。 他虽高大如香柏树，坚固如橡树， 我却上灭他的果子，下绝他的根本。
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 我也将你们从埃及地领上来， 在旷野引导你们四十年， 使你们得亚摩利人之地为业。
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 我从你们子弟中兴起先知， 又从你们少年人中兴起拿细耳人。 以色列人哪，不是这样吗？ 这是耶和华说的。
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says Jehovah.
12 你们却给拿细耳人酒喝， 嘱咐先知说：不要说预言。
"But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
13 看哪，在你们所住之地，我必压你们， 如同装满禾捆的车压物一样。
Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 快跑的不能逃脱； 有力的不能用力； 刚勇的也不能自救。
Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脱； 骑马的也不能自救。
neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
16 到那日，勇士中最有胆量的， 必赤身逃跑。 这是耶和华说的。
and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says Jehovah.
