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 ye this word, ye heifers of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, —who say to their lords, Bring in, and let us 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。
Sworn hath My Lord, Yahweh, by his own holiness, That lo! days, are coming upon you, —when he will take you away with hooks, and your followers 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。
And, through fissures, shall ye go out, every woman, straight before her, —and ye shall be thrust forth towards the castle, Declareth Yahweh.
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。
Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound, —Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;
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。
Yea, burn thou incense, of that which is leavened, as a thank-offering, and proclaim ye freewill-offerings, let them be known, —for, so, ye love [to have it], ye sons of Israel, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
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。
Moreover also, I, have given you cleanness of teeth throughout all your cities, and want of bread throughout all your dwelling-places, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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。
Moreover also, I, have withholden from you the abundant rain, when yet there were only three mouths to the harvest, Or I might rain upon one city, and, on another city, might not rain, —One portion, would be rained upon, and, the portion whereupon it should not rain, would be dried up;
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。
Then would two or three cities totter to one city to drink water, without being satisfied, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 have smitten you with blight and with mildew, When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees have increased, the creeping locust would devour them, —Yet have ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 have sent among you pestilence, in the manner of Egypt, I have slain, with the sword, your young men, and therewith have been taken captive your horses, And I have caused to ascend—the stench of your camps, even into your own nostrils, Yet ye have not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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。
I have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning, —Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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, thus, will I do unto thee, O Israel, —Because this thing I will do unto thee, Prepare to meet thy 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 lo! He that fashioned the mountains, and created the wind, and who telleth the son of earth what is his thought, who turneth dawn into darkness, and marcheth upon the high places of the earth, Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name!
