< 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 YHWH standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one 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 h7585)
Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there 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;
Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will 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。
Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for disaster, 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。
For YHWH of hosts is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like 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。
It is he who builds his upper chamber in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; 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 like the people of Ethiopia to me, children of Israel?" says YHWH. "Haven't I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans 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。
Look, the eyes of YHWH are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says 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, look, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve, but not even a pebble 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 die by the sword, who say, 'Evil won't overtake nor meet 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 rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and repair its broken places, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore 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 the rest of humanity may seek after YHWH, and all the nations who are called by my name," says YHWH who does 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。
"Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from 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 Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. 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。
I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says YHWH your God.
