< 阿摩司书 8 >
1 主耶和华又指示我一件事:我看见一筐夏天的果子。
The Lord God schewide to me these thingis; and lo! an hook of applis.
2 他说:“阿摩司啊,你看见什么?”我说:“看见一筐夏天的果子。”耶和华说:“我民以色列的结局到了,我必不再宽恕他们。”
And the Lord seide, What seist thou, Amos? And Y seide, An hook of applis. And the Lord seide to me, The ende is comun on my puple Israel; Y schal no more putte to, that Y passe bi hym.
3 主耶和华说:“那日,殿中的诗歌变为哀号;必有许多尸首在各处抛弃,无人作声。”
And the herris, ether twistis, of the temple schulen greetli sowne in that dai, seith the Lord God. Many men schulen die, silence schal be cast forth in ech place.
4 你们这些要吞吃穷乏人、 使困苦人衰败的,当听我的话!
Here ye this thing, whiche al to-breken a pore man, and maken nedi men of the lond for to faile;
5 你们说:月朔几时过去, 我们好卖粮; 安息日几时过去, 我们好摆开麦子; 卖出用小升斗, 收银用大戥子, 用诡诈的天平欺哄人,
and ye seien, Whanne schal heruest passe, and we schulen sille marchaundises? and the sabat, and we schulen opene wheete? that we make lesse the mesure, and encreesse the cicle, and `vndur put gileful balauncis;
6 好用银子买贫寒人, 用一双鞋换穷乏人, 将坏了的麦子卖给人。
that we welde bi siluer nedi men and pore men for schoon, and we sille outcastyngis of wheete?
7 耶和华指着雅各的荣耀起誓说: 他们的一切行为,我必永远不忘。
The Lord swoor ayens the pride of Jacob, Y schal not foryete til to the ende alle the werkis of hem.
8 地岂不因这事震动? 其上的居民不也悲哀吗? 地必全然像尼罗河涨起, 如同埃及河涌上落下。
Whether on this thing the erthe schal not be mouyd togidere, and eche dwellere therof schal mourene? And it schal stie vp as al the flood, and schal be cast out, and schal flete awei as the stronde of Egipt.
9 主耶和华说:到那日, 我必使日头在午间落下, 使地在白昼黑暗。
And it schal be, seith the Lord, in that dai the sunne schal go doun in myddai, and Y schal make the erthe for to be derk in the dai of liyt.
10 我必使你们的节期变为悲哀, 歌曲变为哀歌。 众人腰束麻布,头上光秃, 使这场悲哀如丧独生子, 至终如痛苦的日子一样。
And Y schal conuerte youre feeste daies in to mourenyng, and alle youre songis in to weilyng; and Y schal brynge yn on ech bac of you a sak, and on ech heed of you ballidnesse; and Y schal put it as the mourenyng of oon bigetun sone, and the laste thingis therof as a bittir dai.
11 主耶和华说:日子将到, 我必命饥荒降在地上。 人饥饿非因无饼,干渴非因无水, 乃因不听耶和华的话。
Lo! the daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende out hungur in to erthe; not hungur of breed, nether thirst of watir, but of herynge the word of God.
12 他们必飘流,从这海到那海, 从北边到东边,往来奔跑, 寻求耶和华的话,却寻不着。
And thei schulen be mouyd to gidere fro the see til to the see, and fro the north til to the eest thei schulen cumpasse, sekynge the word of the Lord, and thei schulen not fynde.
13 当那日,美貌的处女 和少年的男子必因干渴发昏。
In that dai faire maidens schulen faile, and yonge men in thirst, whiche sweren in trespas of Samarie,
14 那指着撒马利亚牛犊起誓的说: 但哪,我们指着你那里的活神起誓; 又说:我们指着别是巴的神道起誓。 这些人都必仆倒,永不再起来。
and seien, Dan, thi god lyueth, and the weie of Bersabee lyueth; and thei schulen falle, and thei schulen no more rise ayen.
