< 阿摩司書 9 >

1 我看見主站在祭壇旁邊; 他說:你要擊打柱頂,使門檻震動, 打碎柱頂,落在眾人頭上; 所剩下的人,我必用刀殺戮, 無一人能逃避,無一人能逃脫。
I saw the Lord standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the mercy-seat, and the porch shall be shaken: and cut through into the heads of all; and I will slay the remnant of them with the sword: no one of them fleeing shall escape, and no one of them, striving to save himself shall be delivered.
2 他們雖然挖透陰間, 我的手必取出他們來; 雖然爬上天去, 我必拿下他們來; (Sheol h7585)
Though they hid themselves in hell, thence shall my hand drag them forth; and though they go up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)
3 雖然藏在迦密山頂, 我必搜尋,捉出他們來; 雖然從我眼前藏在海底, 我必命蛇咬他們;
If they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, thence will I search [them] out and take them; and if they should go down from my presence into the depths of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 雖被仇敵擄去, 我必命刀劍殺戮他們; 我必向他們定住眼目, 降禍不降福。
And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes against them for evil, and not for good.
5 主-萬軍之耶和華摸地,地就消化, 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼羅河漲起, 如同埃及河落下。
And the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, [is he] that takes hold of the land, and causes it to shake, and all that inhabit it shall mourn; and its destruction shall go up as a river, and shall descend as the river of Egypt.
6 那在天上建造樓閣、 在地上安定穹蒼、 命海水澆在地上的- 耶和華是他的名。
[It is he] that builds his ascent up to the sky, and establishes his promise on the earth; who calls the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth; the Lord Almighty is his name.
7 耶和華說:以色列人哪, 我豈不看你們如古實人嗎? 我豈不是領以色列人出埃及地, 領非利士人出迦斐託, 領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎?
Are not ye to me as the sons of the Ethiopians, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Did I not bring Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of the deep?
8 主耶和華的眼目察看這有罪的國, 必將這國從地上滅絕, 卻不將雅各家滅絕淨盡。 這是耶和華說的。
Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
9 我必出令, 將以色列家分散在列國中, 好像用篩子篩穀, 連一粒也不落在地上。
For I [will] give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, and [yet] a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth.
10 我民中的一切罪人說: 災禍必追不上我們, 也迎不着我們。 他們必死在刀下。
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.
11 到那日,我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕, 堵住其中的破口, 把那破壞的建立起來, 重新修造,像古時一樣,
In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days:
12 使以色列人得以東所餘剩的 和所有稱為我名下的國。 此乃行這事的耶和華說的。
that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek [me], saith the Lord who does all these things.
13 耶和華說: 日子將到, 耕種的必接續收割的; 踹葡萄的必接續撒種的; 大山要滴下甜酒; 小山都必流奶。
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the harvest shall overtake the vintage, and the grapes shall ripen at seedtime; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall be planted.
14 我必使我民以色列被擄的歸回; 他們必重修荒廢的城邑居住, 栽種葡萄園,喝其中所出的酒, 修造果木園,吃其中的果子。
And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities, and shall inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and shall drink the wine from them; and they shall form gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 我要將他們栽於本地, 他們不再從我所賜給他們的地上拔出來。 這是耶和華-你的上帝說的。
And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be plucked up from the land which I have given them, saith the Lord God Almighty.
