Amos 2

1 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even 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 seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the 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 cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith 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 saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.

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 into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.

我卻要降火在猶大， 燒滅耶路撒冷的宮殿。

6 Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of 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 bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane 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 sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned 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 cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.

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 that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.

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 raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith 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 And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.

你們卻給拿細耳人酒喝， 囑咐先知說：不要說預言。

13 Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh 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 shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong 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 he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse 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 valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith 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。
