< 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, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
2 他们虽然挖透阴间, 我的手必取出他们来; 虽然爬上天去, 我必拿下他们来; (Sheol )
Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: (Sheol )
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 hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence 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 though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine 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 GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood 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。
[It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for 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] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and 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。
Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that 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, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
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 die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent 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 will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build 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 of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
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, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
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 again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them; ] and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit 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 land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
