阿摩司书 6
1 国为列国之首，人最著名， 且为以色列家所归向， 在锡安和撒马利亚山安逸无虑的，有祸了！
Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
2 你们要过到甲尼察看， 从那里往大城哈马去， 又下到非利士人的迦特， 看那些国比你们的国还强吗？ 境界比你们的境界还宽吗？
Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
3 你们以为降祸的日子还远， 坐在位上尽行强暴。
You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
4 你们躺卧在象牙床上，舒身在榻上， 吃群中的羊羔，棚里的牛犊；
You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
5 弹琴鼓瑟唱消闲的歌曲， 为自己制造乐器，如同大卫所造的；
You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
6 以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 却不为约瑟的苦难担忧。
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
7 所以这些人必在被掳的人中首先被掳； 舒身的人荒宴之乐必消灭了。
Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
8 主耶和华—万军之 神指着自己起誓说： 我憎恶雅各的荣华，厌弃他的宫殿； 因此，我必将城和其中所有的都交付敌人。
The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
9 那时，若在一房之内剩下十个人，也都必死。
And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
10 死人的伯叔，就是烧他尸首的，要将这尸首搬到房外，问房屋内间的人说：“你那里还有人没有？”他必说：“没有”；又说：“不要作声，因为我们不可提耶和华的名。”
And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord.
11 看哪，耶和华出令， 大房就被攻破， 小屋就被打裂。
For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
12 马岂能在崖石上奔跑？ 人岂能在那里用牛耕种呢？ 你们却使公平变为苦胆， 使公义的果子变为茵 。
Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
13 你们喜爱虚浮的事，自夸说： 我们不是凭自己的力量取了角吗？
You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
14 耶和华、万军之 神说： 以色列家啊，我必兴起一国攻击你们； 他们必欺压你们， 从哈马口直到亚拉巴的河。
But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
