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。
This is what the Lord says: The people of Moab have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they desecrated the bones of the king of Edom by burning them, turning them into lime.
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。
So I will send down fire on Moab, and I will burn up the fortresses of Kerioth, and the people of Moab will die in the midst of uproar, battle cries, and 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。
I will cut down their king and all their princes with him, says 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。
This is what the Lord says: The people of Judah have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept his commands. Their lies have led them astray, the same lies that their forefathers followed.
5 我却要降火在犹大， 烧灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。
So I will send down fire on Judah, and I will burn up the fortresses 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。
This is what the Lord says: The people of Israel have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they sell good people for silver, and poor people for a pair of sandals.
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 trample the heads of the poor into the dust, and push the needy out of the way. A man and his father have sex with the same servant girl so that my holy name is profaned.
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。
At every altar they stretch themselves out in clothes taken from debtors as collateral, in the temple of their god they drink wine taken from the people they fined.
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 it was I was the one who destroyed the Amorites before you, even though they were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed them root and branch.
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 was I who brought you out of the land of Egypt and led you through the desert for forty years so that you could take the Amorites' land.
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。
I appointed some of your sons to be prophets, and some of your young men to be Nazirites. Isn't this true, people of Israel?
12 你们却给拿细耳人酒喝， 嘱咐先知说：不要说预言。
But you made the Nazirites sin by drinking wine, and you told the prophets, “Don't tell us what God says.”
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。
Now see what I am going to do. I will crush you where you are, as if crushed by a heavy cart loaded down with sheaves of grain.
14 快跑的不能逃脱； 有力的不能用力； 刚勇的也不能自救。
Not even your fastest runners will escape; strong men will lose their strength. Even the greatest warrior will not be able to 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。
The archer will not stand his ground. The quickest on his feet will not be able to get away, and even those on horseback will not save themselves.
16 到那日，勇士中最有胆量的， 必赤身逃跑。 这是耶和华说的。
On that day even the bravest of the mighty warriors will run away naked, says the Lord.
