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 transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom 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。
But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] 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 the princes thereof 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 transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
5 我却要降火在犹大， 烧灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。
But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces 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 transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor 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。
That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the [same] maid, 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 lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink 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 destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height [was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from 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。
Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
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 even thus, 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。
But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded 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 am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.
14 快跑的不能逃脱； 有力的不能用力； 刚勇的也不能自救。
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脱； 骑马的也不能自救。
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself: ] neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
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 [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
