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 this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
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。
“I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3 二人若不同心，岂能同行呢？
Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
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 a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught 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 in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
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？
Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and the LORD hasn’t 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 GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals 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？
The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken. Who can but 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 in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is amongst them.”
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。
“Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says the LORD, “Who hoard plunder and loot 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 the Lord GOD says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will 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。”
The LORD says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
13 主耶和华—万军之 神说： 当听这话，警戒雅各家。
“Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord GOD, the God of Armies.
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。
“For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will 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。
I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says the LORD.
