阿摩司書 4
1 你們住撒馬利亞山如巴珊母牛的啊， 當聽我的話－ 你們欺負貧寒的，壓碎窮乏的， 對家主說：拿酒來，我們喝吧！
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
2 主耶和華指着自己的聖潔起誓說： 日子快到，人必用鉤子將你們鉤去， 用魚鉤將你們餘剩的鉤去。
The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
3 你們各人必從破口直往前行， 投入哈門。 這是耶和華說的。
You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
4 以色列人哪，任你們往伯特利去犯罪， 到吉甲加增罪過； 每日早晨獻上你們的祭物， 每三日奉上你們的十分之一。
“Go to Bethel and sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
5 任你們獻有酵的感謝祭， 把甘心祭宣傳報告給眾人， 因為是你們所喜愛的。 這是主耶和華說的。
Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
6 我使你們在一切城中牙齒乾淨， 在你們各處糧食缺乏， 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
7 在收割的前三月，我使雨停止， 不降在你們那裏； 我降雨在這城， 不降雨在那城； 這塊地有雨， 那塊地無雨； 無雨的就枯乾了。
I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land where it did not rain dried up.
8 這樣，兩三城的人湊到一城去找水， 卻喝不足； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
9 我以旱風、霉爛攻擊你們， 你們園中許多菜蔬、葡萄樹、 無花果樹、橄欖樹都被剪蟲所吃； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
I afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
10 我降瘟疫在你們中間， 像在埃及一樣； 用刀殺戮你們的少年人， 使你們的馬匹被擄掠， 營中屍首的臭氣撲鼻； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
I sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
11 我傾覆你們中間的城邑， 如同我從前傾覆所多瑪、蛾摩拉一樣， 使你們好像從火中抽出來的一根柴； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
I overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 以色列啊，我必向你如此行； 以色列啊，我既這樣行， 你當預備迎見你的上帝。
Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
13 那創山、造風、將心意指示人、 使晨光變為幽暗、腳踏在地之高處的， 他的名是耶和華－萬軍之上帝。
For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
