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。
Then I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the tops of the Temple pillars so that the foundations shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people below. Those who survive I will kill by the sword. None of them will escape, not a single one.
Even if they dig down into Sheol, I will catch them and pull them up. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will 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；
Even if they hide themselves at the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea serpent to 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。
Even if they are driven into exile by their enemies, I will order them put to death by the sword. I will watch them carefully—and for evil, 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。
The Lord God of power touches the earth and it melts, and all who live there mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile river in flood, and then falls again.
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。
The Lord builds his upper rooms in heaven, and places the foundations on the earth. He calls for the water of the seas, and pours it down as rain upon 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？
Aren't the Ethiopians as important to me as you, people of Israel? asks the Lord. Yes, I brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir.
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。
Watch out! I'm watching this sinful kingdom. I will eradicate it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not completely destroy the descendants of Jacob.
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。
See what I'm doing! I will give the command, and the people of Israel will be shaken among the nations like flour through a sieve, and nothing will 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 will be killed by the sword—all those who say, “Nothing bad is going to happen; no disaster will fall on 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，
On that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David; I will repair the broken walls, I will rebuild the ruins, and I will make it as it was in 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。
And they will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations that were once mine, declares the Lord. He will make this happen.
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。
Look! The time is coming, says the Lord, when the reaper will overtake the plowman, and the one who treads the grapes will overtake the one who sows the seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and flow from all the hills.
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。
I will bring my people back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and they shall live in them. They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will plant gardens and eat the fruit they produce.
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。
I will plant them in their own land, and they shall never be uprooted again from the land I have given them, declares the Lord your God.
