Amos 9

1 I sawe the Lord standing vpon the altar, and he sayde, Smite the lintel of the doore, that the postes may shake: and cut them in pieces, euen the heads of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them, shall not flee away: and he that escapeth of them, shall not be deliuered.

我看見主站在祭壇旁邊； 他說：你要擊打柱頂，使門檻震動， 打碎柱頂，落在眾人頭上； 所剩下的人，我必用刀殺戮， 無一人能逃避，無一人能逃脫。

2 Though they digge into the hell, thence shall mine hande take them: though they clime vp to heauen, thence will I bring them downe. (Sheol h7585)

他們雖然挖透陰間， 我的手必取出他們來； 雖然爬上天去， 我必拿下他們來； (Sheol h7585)

3 And though they hide them selues in the toppe of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence: and though they be hid from my sight in the bottome of the sea, thence will I commande the serpent, and he shall bite them.

雖然藏在迦密山頂， 我必搜尋，捉出他們來； 雖然從我眼前藏在海底， 我必命蛇咬他們；

4 And though they goe into captiuitie before their enemies, thence wil I commande the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes vpon them for euill, and not for good.

雖被仇敵擄去， 我必命刀劍殺戮他們； 我必向他們定住眼目， 降禍不降福。

5 And the Lord God of hosts shall touch the land, and it shall melt away, and al that dwel therein shall mourne, and it shall rise vp wholy like a flood, and shall bee drowned as by the flood of Egypt.

主－萬軍之耶和華摸地，地就消化， 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼羅河漲起， 如同埃及河落下。

6 He buildeth his spheres in the heauen, and hath laide the foundation of his globe of elements in the earth: hee calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.

那在天上建造樓閣、 在地上安定穹蒼、 命海水澆在地上的－ 耶和華是他的名。

7 Are ye not as the Ethiopians vnto mee, O children of Israel, sayeth the Lord? haue not I brought vp Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistims from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?

耶和華說：以色列人哪， 我豈不看你們如古實人嗎？ 我豈不是領以色列人出埃及地， 領非利士人出迦斐託， 領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎？

8 Beholde, the eyes of the Lord God are vpon the sinfull kingdome, and I will destroy it cleane out of the earth. Neuerthelesse I will not vtterly destroy the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord.

主耶和華的眼目察看這有罪的國， 必將這國從地上滅絕， 卻不將雅各家滅絕淨盡。 這是耶和華說的。

9 For loe, I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corne is sifted in a sieue: yet shall not the least stone fall vpon the earth.

我必出令， 將以色列家分散在列國中， 好像用篩子篩穀， 連一粒也不落在地上。

10 But all the sinners of my people shall dye by the sword, which say, The euill shall not come, nor hasten for vs.

我民中的一切罪人說： 災禍必追不上我們， 也迎不着我們。 他們必死在刀下。

11 In that day will I raise vp the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and close vp the breaches therof, and I will rayse vp his ruines, and I will builde it, as in the dayes of olde,

到那日，我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕， 堵住其中的破口， 把那破壞的建立起來， 重新修造，像古時一樣，

12 That they may possesse the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, because my Name is called vpon them, sayeth the Lord, that doeth this.

使以色列人得以東所餘剩的 和所有稱為我名下的國。 此乃行這事的耶和華說的。

13 Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall touche the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seede: and the mountaines shall drop sweete wine, and all the hilles shall melt.

耶和華說： 日子將到， 耕種的必接續收割的； 踹葡萄的必接續撒種的； 大山要滴下甜酒； 小山都必流奶。

14 And I will bring againe the captiuitie of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabite the, and they shall plant vineyardes, and drinke the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eate the fruites of them.

我必使我民以色列被擄的歸回； 他們必重修荒廢的城邑居住， 栽種葡萄園，喝其中所出的酒， 修造果木園，吃其中的果子。

15 And I wil plant them vpon their land, and they shall no more bee pulled vp againe out of their lande, which I haue giuen them, sayeth the Lord thy God.

我要將他們栽於本地， 他們不再從我所賜給他們的地上拔出來。 這是耶和華－你的上帝說的。
