阿摩司書 1
1 亞毛斯的言論：亞毛斯原是特科亞的一個牧人，在猶大王烏齊亞時代和以色列王耶曷阿士的兒子雅洛貝罕時代，地震前二年，見了關於以色列的神視。
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 他說：「上主由熙雍一怒吼，從耶路撒冷一出聲，牧場即淒涼，加爾默耳山頂即乾枯。」
And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 上主這樣說：「為了大馬士革再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們用鐵棍壓榨了基肋阿得。
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 我必把火投於阿匝耳家，燒毀本哈達得的王宮。
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 我必打斷大馬士革的門閂，消滅彼卡特阿文的居民和貝特厄登的掌權者；阿蘭人民必被擄往克爾──上主說。
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and he who holds the scepter from the house of Eden, and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says Jehovah.
6 上主這樣說：「為了迦薩再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們將戰俘全部擄去，賣給厄東。
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom.
7 我必把火投在迦薩城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
8 我必消滅阿市多得的固民和阿市刻隆的掌權者，伸手打攻擊厄刻龍，培肋舍特的殘餘必要滅亡」──吾主上主說。
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon. And I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the lord Jehovah.
9 上主這樣說：「為了提洛再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因他們將戰俘全都賣給了厄東，毫不念兄弟的盟約。
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
10 我必把火投在提洛的城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。」
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces of it.
11 上主這樣說：「為了厄東再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們持刀追擊自己的兄弟，毫無憐憫，常存怒氣，永懷憤怒。
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity. And his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.
12 我必把火投於特曼，燒盡波責辣的王宮。」
But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 上主這樣說：「為了阿孟子民再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們剖開基肋阿得的孕婦，為擴展的疆土。
Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it, because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 在作戰之日的吶喊中，在風雨的狂暴中，我必在辣巴的城牆上放火，燒盡她的王宮。
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 他們的君王和君王的官吏必一起被擄去」──上主說。
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.
