阿摩司書 1
1 當猶大王烏西雅，以色列王約阿施的兒子耶羅波安在位的時候，大地震前二年，提哥亞牧人中的阿摩司得默示論以色列。
The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
2 他說：耶和華必從錫安吼叫， 從耶路撒冷發聲； 牧人的草場要悲哀； 迦密的山頂要枯乾。
And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
3 耶和華如此說： 大馬士革三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她以打糧食的鐵器打過基列。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
4 我卻要降火在哈薛的家中， 燒滅便‧哈達的宮殿。
And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
5 我必折斷大馬士革的門閂， 剪除亞文平原的居民和伯‧伊甸掌權的。 亞蘭人必被擄到吉珥。 這是耶和華說的。
And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
6 耶和華如此說： 迦薩三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她擄掠眾民交給以東。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
7 我卻要降火在迦薩的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
8 我必剪除亞實突的居民和亞實基倫掌權的， 也必反手攻擊以革倫。 非利士人所餘剩的必都滅亡。 這是主耶和華說的。
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
9 耶和華如此說： 泰爾三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她將眾民交給以東， 並不記念弟兄的盟約。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
10 我卻要降火在泰爾的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
11 耶和華如此說： 以東三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她拿刀追趕兄弟，毫無憐憫， 發怒撕裂，永懷忿怒。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
12 我卻要降火在提幔， 燒滅波斯拉的宮殿。
I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.
13 耶和華如此說： 亞捫人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他們的刑罰； 因為他們剖開基列的孕婦， 擴張自己的境界。
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
14 我卻要在爭戰吶喊的日子， 旋風狂暴的時候， 點火在拉巴的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
15 他們的王和首領必一同被擄去。 這是耶和華說的。
And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
