阿摩司书 2
1 耶和华如此说： 摩押三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她将以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom even to ashes.
2 我却要降火在摩押， 烧灭加略的宫殿。 摩押必在哄嚷呐喊吹角之中死亡。
And I will seed a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet:
3 我必剪除摩押中的审判者， 将其中的一切首领和他一同杀戮。 这是耶和华说的。
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all his princes with him, saith the Lord.
4 耶和华如此说： 犹大人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因为他们厌弃耶和华的训诲， 不遵守他的律例。 他们列祖所随从虚假的偶像使他们走迷了。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked.
5 我却要降火在犹大， 烧灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。
And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem.
6 耶和华如此说： 以色列人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因他们为银子卖了义人， 为一双鞋卖了穷人。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of shoes.
7 他们见穷人头上所蒙的灰也都垂涎， 阻碍谦卑人的道路。 父子同一个女子行淫， 亵渎我的圣名。
They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
8 他们在各坛旁铺人所当的衣服，卧在其上， 又在他们神的庙中喝受罚之人的酒。
And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
9 我从以色列人面前除灭亚摩利人。 他虽高大如香柏树，坚固如橡树， 我却上灭他的果子，下绝他的根本。
Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots beneath.
10 我也将你们从埃及地领上来， 在旷野引导你们四十年， 使你们得亚摩利人之地为业。
It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land of the Amorrhite.
11 我从你们子弟中兴起先知， 又从你们少年人中兴起拿细耳人。 以色列人哪，不是这样吗？ 这是耶和华说的。
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord?
12 你们却给拿细耳人酒喝， 嘱咐先知说：不要说预言。
And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the prophets, saying: Prophesy not.
13 看哪，在你们所住之地，我必压你们， 如同装满禾捆的车压物一样。
Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden with hay.
14 快跑的不能逃脱； 有力的不能用力； 刚勇的也不能自救。
And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life.
15 拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脱； 骑马的也不能自救。
And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life.
16 到那日，勇士中最有胆量的， 必赤身逃跑。 这是耶和华说的。
And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
