Amos 6
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
國為列國之首，人最著名， 且為以色列家所歸向， 在錫安和撒馬利亞山安逸無慮的，有禍了！
2 Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
你們要過到甲尼察看， 從那裏往大城哈馬去， 又下到非利士人的迦特， 看那些國比你們的國還強嗎？ 境界比你們的境界還寬嗎？
3 Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
你們以為降禍的日子還遠， 坐在位上盡行強暴。
4 They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
你們躺臥在象牙床上，舒身在榻上， 吃群中的羊羔，棚裏的牛犢；
5 They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
彈琴鼓瑟唱消閑的歌曲， 為自己製造樂器，如同大衛所造的；
6 They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 卻不為約瑟的苦難擔憂。
7 Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
所以這些人必在被擄的人中首先被擄； 舒身的人荒宴之樂必消滅了。
8 The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
主耶和華－萬軍之上帝指着自己起誓說： 我憎惡雅各的榮華，厭棄他的宮殿； 因此，我必將城和其中所有的都交付敵人。
9 And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
那時，若在一房之內剩下十個人，也都必死。
10 And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
死人的伯叔，就是燒他屍首的，要將這屍首搬到房外，問房屋內間的人說：「你那裏還有人沒有？」他必說：「沒有」；又說：「不要作聲，因為我們不可提耶和華的名。」
11 For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
看哪，耶和華出令， 大房就被攻破， 小屋就被打裂。
12 Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
馬豈能在崖石上奔跑？ 人豈能在那裏用牛耕種呢？ 你們卻使公平變為苦膽， 使公義的果子變為茵蔯。
13 Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
你們喜愛虛浮的事，自誇說： 我們不是憑自己的力量取了角嗎？
14 But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
耶和華、萬軍之上帝說： 以色列家啊，我必興起一國攻擊你們； 他們必欺壓你們， 從哈馬口直到亞拉巴的河。
