阿摩司书 4
1 你们住撒马利亚山如巴珊母牛的啊， 当听我的话— 你们欺负贫寒的，压碎穷乏的， 对家主说：拿酒来，我们喝吧！
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”
2 主耶和华指着自己的圣洁起誓说： 日子快到，人必用钩子将你们钩去， 用鱼钩将你们余剩的钩去。
The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
3 你们各人必从破口直往前行， 投入哈门。 这是耶和华说的。
You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon,”
4 以色列人哪，任你们往伯特利去犯罪， 到吉甲加增罪过； 每日早晨献上你们的祭物， 每三日奉上你们的十分之一。
“Go to Bethel and transgress; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
5 任你们献有酵的感谢祭， 把甘心祭宣传报告给众人， 因为是你们所喜爱的。 这是主耶和华说的。
Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings. For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
6 我使你们在一切城中牙齿干净， 在你们各处粮食缺乏， 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
“I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth and all your towns with lack of bread, yet you did not return to Me,”
7 在收割的前三月，我使雨停止， 不降在你们那里； 我降雨在这城， 不降雨在那城； 这块地有雨， 那块地无雨； 无雨的就枯干了。
“I also withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without rain withered.
8 这样，两三城的人凑到一城去找水， 却喝不足； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,”
9 我以旱风、霉烂攻击你们， 你们园中许多菜蔬、葡萄树、 无花果树、橄榄树都被剪虫所吃； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
“I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,”
10 我降瘟疫在你们中间， 像在埃及一样； 用刀杀戮你们的少年人， 使你们的马匹被掳掠， 营中尸首的臭气扑鼻； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
“I sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me,”
11 我倾覆你们中间的城邑， 如同我从前倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉一样， 使你们好像从火中抽出来的一根柴； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
“Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me,”
12 以色列啊，我必向你如此行； 以色列啊，我既这样行， 你当预备迎见你的 神。
“Therefore, that is what I will do to you, O Israel, and since I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
13 那创山、造风、将心意指示人、 使晨光变为幽暗、脚踏在地之高处的， 他的名是耶和华—万军之 神。
For behold, He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, who turns the dawn to darkness and strides on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the God of Hosts, is His name.”
