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; what he saw about 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 earth-shock.
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 will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
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。
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
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 into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses 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 have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says 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。
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
7 我必把火投在迦薩城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
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。
Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
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。
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
10 我必把火投在提洛的城牆上，燒盡她的王宮。」
And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
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。
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
12 我必把火投於特曼，燒盡波責辣的王宮。」
And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses 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。
These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
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 make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
15 他們的君王和君王的官吏必一起被擄去」──上主說。
And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
