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 herdmen of Tekoa, which he foresaw concerning Israel in the days of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the 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 will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.
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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed [the inhabitants of] Gil'ad 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。
And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which 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 bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of 'Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, 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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver 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 against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;
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 inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against 'Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;
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 against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.
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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
12 我必把火投於特曼，燒盡波責辣的王宮。」
And I will send out a fire against Theman, which 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 hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of 'Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil'ad, in order to enlarge their own territory;
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 within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;
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 exile, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
