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 them that set at nothing Sion, and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered [the harvest of] the heads of the nations, and they have gone in themselves.
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？
O house of Israel, pass by all [of you], and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines, the chief of all these kingdoms, [see] if their coasts are greater than your coasts.
3 你们以为降祸的日子还远， 坐在位上尽行强暴。
You who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;
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；
who sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicately on their couches, and eat kids out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;
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；
who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as dwelling, not as fleeting [pleasures];
6 以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 却不为约瑟的苦难担忧。
who drink strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment; and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity 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。
Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.
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。
For the Lord has sworn by himself, [saying], Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off [his] city with all who inhabit it.
9 那时，若在一房之内剩下十个人，也都必死。
And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they 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。”
But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet [any one] else with you? And he shall say, No [one] else. And [the other] shall say, Be silent, that you name 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 commands, and he will strike the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.
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 。
Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for you have turned judgment into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:
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 who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed 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。
For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up against you a nation, says the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that you shall not enter into Aemath, and as it were [from] the river of the wilderness.
