阿摩司书 3
1 以色列人哪，你们全家是我从埃及地领上来的，当听耶和华攻击你们的话：
Hear these words, which Jehovah speaketh against you, ye sons of Israel; Against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt!
2 在地上万族中，我只认识你们； 因此，我必追讨你们的一切罪孽。
You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore will I punish you for all your iniquities.
3 二人若不同心，岂能同行呢？
Can two walk together, Unless they agree together?
4 狮子若非抓食，岂能在林中咆哮呢？ 少壮狮子若无所得，岂能从洞中发声呢？
Will the lion roar in the forest, When he seeth no prey? Will the young lion cry aloud from his den, If he have seized nothing?
5 若没有机槛，雀鸟岂能陷在网罗里呢？ 网罗若无所得，岂能从地上翻起呢？
Can a bird fall into a snare upon the earth, Where none is set for him? Will a snare spring up from the ground, When it hath caught nothing?
6 城中若吹角，百姓岂不惊恐呢？ 灾祸若临到一城，岂非耶和华所降的吗？
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, And the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil upon a city, And Jehovah not have done it?
7 主耶和华若不将奥秘指示他的仆人—众先知， 就一无所行。
Surely the Lord Jehovah doeth nothing, But he revealeth his secret To his servants the prophets.
8 狮子吼叫，谁不惧怕呢？ 主耶和华发命，谁能不说预言呢？
When the lion roareth, who will not fear? When the Lord Jehovah speaketh, who will not prophesy?
9 要在亚实突的宫殿中 和埃及地的宫殿里传扬说： 你们要聚集在撒马利亚的山上， 就看见城中有何等大的扰乱与欺压的事。
Proclaim ye, in the palaces in Ashdod, And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, And say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria; Behold the great tumults in the midst of her, And the oppressions within her!
10 那些以强暴抢夺财物、 积蓄在自己家中的人 不知道行正直的事。 这是耶和华说的。
For they have no care to do right, saith Jehovah; They treasure up rapine and robbery in their palaces.
11 所以主耶和华如此说： 敌人必来围攻这地， 使你的势力衰微， 抢掠你的家宅。
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An enemy shall encompass the land. And shall bring down thy strength from thee, And thy palaces shall be plundered.
12 耶和华如此说：“牧人怎样从狮子口中抢回两条羊腿或半个耳朵，住撒马利亚的以色列人躺卧在床角上或铺绣花毯的榻上，他们得救也不过如此。”
Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd taketh out of the lion's mouth Two legs, or a portion of an ear, So shall the children of Israel be taken out, Who in Samaria sit in the corners of their sofas, And upon their damask couches.
13 主耶和华—万军之 神说： 当听这话，警戒雅各家。
Hear ye, and testify to the house of Jacob, Saith the Lord, Jehovah, God of hosts!
14 我讨以色列罪的日子，也要讨伯特利祭坛的罪； 坛角必被砍下，坠落于地。
In the day when I punish the transgressions of Israel, Then will I punish the altars of Bethel; The horns of the altar shall be cut off, And fall to the ground.
15 我要拆毁过冬和过夏的房屋。 象牙的房屋也必毁灭； 高大的房屋都归无有。 这是耶和华说的。
and I will smite the winter-house together with the summer-house, And the houses of ivory shall be destroyed, And the great houses shall be brought to the ground, saith Jehovah.
