Amos 3
1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
以色列人哪，你們全家是我從埃及地領上來的，當聽耶和華攻擊你們的話：
2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
在地上萬族中，我只認識你們； 因此，我必追討你們的一切罪孽。
3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
二人若不同心，豈能同行呢？
4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?
獅子若非抓食，豈能在林中咆哮呢？ 少壯獅子若無所得，豈能從洞中發聲呢？
5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
若沒有機檻，雀鳥豈能陷在網羅裏呢？ 網羅若無所得，豈能從地上翻起呢？
6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
城中若吹角，百姓豈不驚恐呢？ 災禍若臨到一城，豈非耶和華所降的嗎？
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
主耶和華若不將奧祕指示他的僕人－眾先知， 就一無所行。
8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
獅子吼叫，誰不懼怕呢？ 主耶和華發命，誰能不說預言呢？
9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
要在亞實突的宮殿中 和埃及地的宮殿裏傳揚說： 你們要聚集在撒馬利亞的山上， 就看見城中有何等大的擾亂與欺壓的事。
10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
那些以強暴搶奪財物、 積蓄在自己家中的人 不知道行正直的事。 這是耶和華說的。
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
所以主耶和華如此說： 敵人必來圍攻這地， 使你的勢力衰微， 搶掠你的家宅。
12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
耶和華如此說：「牧人怎樣從獅子口中搶回兩條羊腿或半個耳朵，住撒馬利亞的以色列人躺臥在床角上或鋪繡花毯的榻上，他們得救也不過如此。」
13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
主耶和華－萬軍之上帝說： 當聽這話，警戒雅各家。
14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.
我討以色列罪的日子，也要討伯特利祭壇的罪； 壇角必被砍下，墜落於地。
15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
我要拆毀過冬和過夏的房屋。 象牙的房屋也必毀滅； 高大的房屋都歸無有。 這是耶和華說的。
