阿摩司书 6
1 国为列国之首，人最著名， 且为以色列家所归向， 在锡安和撒马利亚山安逸无虑的，有祸了！
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 你们要过到甲尼察看， 从那里往大城哈马去， 又下到非利士人的迦特， 看那些国比你们的国还强吗？ 境界比你们的境界还宽吗？
Go to Calneh, and see. From there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their border greater than your border?
3 你们以为降祸的日子还远， 坐在位上尽行强暴。
Alas for you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 你们躺卧在象牙床上，舒身在榻上， 吃群中的羊羔，棚里的牛犊；
who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the middle of the stall,
5 弹琴鼓瑟唱消闲的歌曲， 为自己制造乐器，如同大卫所造的；
who strum on the strings of a harp, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 却不为约瑟的苦难担忧。
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 所以这些人必在被掳的人中首先被掳； 舒身的人荒宴之乐必消灭了。
Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive. The feasting and lounging will end.
8 主耶和华—万军之 神指着自己起誓说： 我憎恶雅各的荣华，厌弃他的宫殿； 因此，我必将城和其中所有的都交付敌人。
“The Lord GOD has sworn by himself,” says the LORD, the God of Hosts: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
9 那时，若在一房之内剩下十个人，也都必死。
It will happen that if ten men remain in one house, they will die.
10 死人的伯叔，就是烧他尸首的，要将这尸首搬到房外，问房屋内间的人说：“你那里还有人没有？”他必说：“没有”；又说：“不要作声，因为我们不可提耶和华的名。”
“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the LORD’s name.’
11 看哪，耶和华出令， 大房就被攻破， 小屋就被打裂。
“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
12 马岂能在崖石上奔跑？ 人岂能在那里用牛耕种呢？ 你们却使公平变为苦胆， 使公义的果子变为茵 。
Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plough there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness,
13 你们喜爱虚浮的事，自夸说： 我们不是凭自己的力量取了角吗？
you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
14 耶和华、万军之 神说： 以色列家啊，我必兴起一国攻击你们； 他们必欺压你们， 从哈马口直到亚拉巴的河。
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Hosts; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
