< 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 have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He says, “Strike the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head—all of them, And I slay their posterity with a sword, None that flee of them flee away, Nor a fugitive of them escape.
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 )
If they dig through into Sheol, From there My hand takes them, And if they go up [to] the heavens, From there I cause them to come 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 if they are hid in the top of Carmel, From there I search out, and have taken them, And if they are hid from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, From there I command the serpent, And it has bitten 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, From there I command the sword, And it has slain them, And I have set My eye on 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 [it is] the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melts, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And all of it has come up as a flood, And it has sunk—like 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。
Who is building His upper chambers in the heavens; As for His troop, On earth He has founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the land, YHWH [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 you not as sons of Cushim to Me, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH. “Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram 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 Lord YHWH [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I do not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] shakes with a sieve, And there does not fall a grain [to] 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。
By sword all sinners of My people die, Who are saying, Evil does not overtake, or go before, For our sakes.
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 raise the dwelling place of David that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And I raise up its ruins, And I have built it up as 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。
So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My Name is called,” A declaration of YHWH—the doer of 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, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And the plowman has come near to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills 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 have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
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 have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up anymore from off their own ground, That I have given to them,” said your God YHWH!
