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 which came [to him] in Accarim out of Thecue, which he saw concerning Jerusalem, in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas 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, The Lord has spoken out of Sion, and has uttered his voice out of Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is dried up.
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。
And the Lord said, For three sins of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they sawed with iron saws the women with child of the Galaadites.
4 我必把火投於阿匝耳家，燒毀本哈達得的王宮。
And I will send a fire on the house of Azael, and it shall devour the foundations of the son of Ader.
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 to pieces the bars of Damascus, and will destroy the inhabitants out of the plain of On, and will cut in pieces a tribe out of the men of Charrhan: and the famous people of Syria shall be led captive, saith the Lord.
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 saith the Lord; For three sins of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away from them; because they took prisoners the captivity of Solomon, to shut [them] up into Idumea.
7 我必把火投在迦薩城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。
And I will send forth a fire on the walls of Gaza, and it shall devour its foundations.
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 destroy the inhabitants out of Azotus, and a tribe shall be cut off from Ascalon, and I will stretch out my hand upon Accaron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord.
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 saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they shut up the prisoners of Solomon into Idumea, and remembered not the covenant of brethren.
10 我必把火投在提洛的城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。」
And I will send forth a fire on the walls of Tyre, and it shall devour the foundations 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 saith the Lord; For three sins of Idumea, and for four, I will not turn away from them; because they pursued their brother with the sword, and destroyed the mother upon the earth, and summoned up his anger for a testimony, and kept up his fury to the end.
12 我必把火投於特曼，燒盡波責辣的王宮。」
And I will send forth a fire upon Thaman, and it shall devour the foundations of her walls.
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 saith the Lord; For three sins of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they ripped up the women with child of the Galaadites, that they might widen their coasts.
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。
And I will kindle a fire on the walls of Rabbath, and it shall devour her foundations with shouting in the day of war, and she shall be shaken in the days of her destruction:
15 他們的君王和君王的官吏必一起被擄去」──上主說。
and her kings shall go into captivity, their priests and their rulers together, saith the Lord.
