Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Moab, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has burned the bones of the king of Idumea, all the way to ashes.
耶和華如此說： 摩押三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她將以東王的骸骨焚燒成灰。
2 And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare of a trumpet.
我卻要降火在摩押， 燒滅加略的宮殿。 摩押必在鬨嚷吶喊吹角之中死亡。
3 And I will destroy the judge in their midst, and I will execute all his leaders with him, says the Lord.
我必剪除摩押中的審判者， 將其中的一切首領和他一同殺戮。 這是耶和華說的。
4 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Judah, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has rejected the law of the Lord and has not kept his commandments. For their idols, which their fathers followed, have deceived them.
耶和華如此說： 猶大人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他們的刑罰； 因為他們厭棄耶和華的訓誨， 不遵守他的律例。 他們列祖所隨從虛假的偶像使他們走迷了。
5 And I will send a fire onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
我卻要降火在猶大， 燒滅耶路撒冷的宮殿。
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.
耶和華如此說： 以色列人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他們的刑罰； 因他們為銀子賣了義人， 為一雙鞋賣了窮人。
7 They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage my holy name.
他們見窮人頭上所蒙的灰也都垂涎， 阻礙謙卑人的道路。 父子同一個女子行淫， 褻瀆我的聖名。
8 And they have lain on garments taken in pledge next to every altar. And they drank the wine of the damned in the house of their God.
他們在各壇旁鋪人所當的衣服，臥在其上， 又在他們神的廟中喝受罰之人的酒。
9 Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from above and his roots below.
我從以色列人面前除滅亞摩利人。 他雖高大如香柏樹，堅固如橡樹， 我卻上滅他的果子，下絕他的根本。
10 It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
我也將你們從埃及地領上來， 在曠野引導你們四十年， 使你們得亞摩利人之地為業。
11 And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, sons of Israel, says the Lord?
我從你們子弟中興起先知， 又從你們少年人中興起拿細耳人。 以色列人哪，不是這樣嗎？ 這是耶和華說的。
12 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
你們卻給拿細耳人酒喝， 囑咐先知說：不要說預言。
13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
看哪，在你們所住之地，我必壓你們， 如同裝滿禾捆的車壓物一樣。
14 And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will not save his life.
快跑的不能逃脫； 有力的不能用力； 剛勇的也不能自救。
15 And one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will not save his life.
拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脫； 騎馬的也不能自救。
16 And the stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
到那日，勇士中最有膽量的， 必赤身逃跑。 這是耶和華說的。
