阿摩司書 5
1 以色列家! 你們你們應聽這話，應聽我為你們唱的這首哀歌!
Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on you a lamentation O house of Israel.
2 「以色列處女已跌倒，不能再起；摔在地上，無人攙扶。
She has fallen not she will repeat to rise [the] virgin of Israel she has been abandoned on own land her there not [is one who] raises up her.
3 因為吾主上主這樣論以色列家說：出一千兵的城只生還一百；出一百的，只生還十個。尋求上主者生，作惡者亡。
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the city which goes out a thousand it will have left a hundred and which goes out a hundred it will have left ten of [the] house of Israel.
4 因為上主這樣對以色列家說：你們尋求我，才可生存。
For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.
5 不可往基耳加耳，不不去巴爾估巴，因為基耳加耳必被擄掠，貝特耳必化為烏有。
And may not you seek Beth-el and Gilgal not you must go and Beer Sheba not you must pass over for Gilgal certainly it will go into exile and Beth-el it will become trouble.
6 你們尋求上主，才可生存，免得衪如火衝入若瑟家中，燒毀一切，無人能為以色列家撲滅。
Seek Yahweh and live lest he should rush like fire [the] house of Joseph and it will consume and not [one who] extinguishes [it] [will belong] to Beth-el.
7 是衪創造了昴星和參星，變昏黑為黎明，使白畫為黑夜，召海水傾流於地面，衪名叫「雅威。」
O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
8 衪使滅亡閃擊強者，使毀滅臨於城堡。
[the] maker of Pleiades and Orion and [the one who] turns into morning deep darkness and day night he makes dark the [one who] summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.
9 凡以毒害代替公正，棄正義於地的，是有禍的!
The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
10 他們憎恨在城門口主持公道的人，厭惡講真話的人。
They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
11 為此，你們既然欺壓窮人，向他們橫征錢糧，你們縱然用方石建築了房屋，卻不得住在裏面；栽植了美麗的葡萄園，卻喝不到園中的酒。
Therefore because trample you on [the] poor and a portion of grain you take from him houses of hewn [stone] you have built and not you will dwell in them vineyards of delight you have planted and not you will drink wine their.
12 因為我知道你們罪惡多端，過犯重大：欺壓義人，接受賄賂，在城門口冤枉窮人；
For I know many transgressions your and numerous sins your O opposers of [the] righteous O takers of ransom and needy [people] in the gate they turn aside.
13 因此明智人在此時緘默不言，因為這是邪惡的時代。
Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
14 你們應尋求善，不可尋求惡：這樣你們才能生存；上主萬軍的天主也必與你們同在，正如你們所說的。
Seek good and may not [it be] evil so that you will live and it may be thus Yahweh God of hosts [will be] with you just as you have said.
15 你們應惡惡好善，在城門口主張正義，或許萬軍的天主會憐憫若瑟的遺民。」
Hate evil and love good and set up in the gate justice perhaps he will show favor to Yahweh God of hosts [the] remnant of Joseph.
16 為此，萬軍的天主，吾主上主這樣說：「人必在一切廣場上哀悼，人必在各街道上說：哀哉! 哀哉! 並且召農人們來弔信，叫會哭的人來痛哭。
Therefore thus he says Yahweh God of hosts [the] Lord [will be] in all [the] open places wailing and in all [the] streets people will say alas! alas! and people will call a farmer to mourning and wailing to [those who] know lamentation.
17 在所有的葡萄園中，人必哀哭，因為我要在你們中間經過」──上主說。
And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.
18 「那仰望上主日子來臨的人是有福的! 上主的日子為你們有我們什麼好處﹖那是黑暗和無光明之日，
Woe to! those [who] desire [the] day of Yahweh why? this to you [the] day of Yahweh it [will be] darkness and not light.
19 好似人逃避了獅子，又遇到了狗熊；進到房屋裏，手扶在牆上，卻被蛇咬傷。
Just as he flees someone from before the lion and it meets him the bear and he goes the house and he leans hand his on the wall and it bites him the snake.
20 上主的日子豈不是黑暗而沒有光明嗎﹖那日實在幽暗而漆黑!
¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
21 我痛恨厭惡你們的慶節；你們的盛會，我也不喜悅；
I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
22 既使你們給我奉獻全燔祭和素祭，我仍不悅納；既使你們獻上肥牲作和平祭，我也不垂顧。
That except you will offer up to me burnt offerings and grain offerings your not I will accept [them] and [the] peace offering of fatlings your not I will pay attention to.
23 讓你們喧嚷的歌聲遠離我；你們的琴聲，我也不願再聽；
Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.
24 如願公道如水常流，正義像川流不息的江河!
And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
25 以色列家! 你們在曠野中四十年，何嘗給我奉獻過q和素祭﹖
¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] O house of Israel.
26 你們應抬著自己所造的偶像，即你們的君王撒雇特和你們的星神克汪，
And you will lift up Sikkuth king your and Kiyyun images your [the] star of gods your which you made for yourselves.
27 因為 必使你們充軍到大馬士革之外，」名叫「萬軍的天主」的上主說。
And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
