阿摩司书 9
1 我看见主站在祭坛旁边； 他说：你要击打柱顶，使门槛震动， 打碎柱顶，落在众人头上； 所剩下的人，我必用刀杀戮， 无一人能逃避，无一人能逃脱。
I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.
Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
3 虽然藏在迦密山顶， 我必搜寻，捉出他们来； 虽然从我眼前藏在海底， 我必命蛇咬他们；
And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.
4 虽被仇敌掳去， 我必命刀剑杀戮他们； 我必向他们定住眼目， 降祸不降福。
And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 主—万军之耶和华摸地，地就消化， 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼罗河涨起， 如同埃及河落下。
And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.
6 那在天上建造楼阁、 在地上安定穹苍、 命海水浇在地上的— 耶和华是他的名。
He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.
7 耶和华说：以色列人哪， 我岂不看你们如古实人吗？ 我岂不是领以色列人出埃及地， 领非利士人出迦斐托， 领亚兰人出吉珥吗？
Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?
8 主耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国， 必将这国从地上灭绝， 却不将雅各家灭绝净尽。 这是耶和华说的。
Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
9 我必出令， 将以色列家分散在列国中， 好像用筛子筛谷， 连一粒也不落在地上。
For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.
10 我民中的一切罪人说： 灾祸必追不上我们， 也迎不着我们。 他们必死在刀下。
All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.
11 到那日，我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕， 堵住其中的破口， 把那破坏的建立起来， 重新修造，像古时一样，
In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.
12 使以色列人得以东所余剩的 和所有称为我名下的国。 此乃行这事的耶和华说的。
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.
13 耶和华说： 日子将到， 耕种的必接续收割的； 踹葡萄的必接续撒种的； 大山要滴下甜酒； 小山都必流奶。
Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.
14 我必使我民以色列被掳的归回； 他们必重修荒废的城邑居住， 栽种葡萄园，喝其中所出的酒， 修造果木园，吃其中的果子。
And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
15 我要将他们栽于本地， 他们不再从我所赐给他们的地上拔出来。 这是耶和华—你的 神说的。
And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
