Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
你们住撒马利亚山如巴珊母牛的啊， 当听我的话— 你们欺负贫寒的，压碎穷乏的， 对家主说：拿酒来，我们喝吧！
2 The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
主耶和华指着自己的圣洁起誓说： 日子快到，人必用钩子将你们钩去， 用鱼钩将你们余剩的钩去。
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD.
你们各人必从破口直往前行， 投入哈门。 这是耶和华说的。
4 “Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
以色列人哪，任你们往伯特利去犯罪， 到吉甲加增罪过； 每日早晨献上你们的祭物， 每三日奉上你们的十分之一。
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.
任你们献有酵的感谢祭， 把甘心祭宣传报告给众人， 因为是你们所喜爱的。 这是主耶和华说的。
6 “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
我使你们在一切城中牙齿干净， 在你们各处粮食缺乏， 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
7 “I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it did not rain withered.
在收割的前三月，我使雨停止， 不降在你们那里； 我降雨在这城， 不降雨在那城； 这块地有雨， 那块地无雨； 无雨的就枯干了。
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
这样，两三城的人凑到一城去找水， 却喝不足； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
9 “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
我以旱风、霉烂攻击你们， 你们园中许多菜蔬、葡萄树、 无花果树、橄榄树都被剪虫所吃； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
10 “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
我降瘟疫在你们中间， 像在埃及一样； 用刀杀戮你们的少年人， 使你们的马匹被掳掠， 营中尸首的臭气扑鼻； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
11 “I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you have not returned to me,” says the LORD.
我倾覆你们中间的城邑， 如同我从前倾覆所多玛、蛾摩拉一样， 使你们好像从火中抽出来的一根柴； 你们仍不归向我。 这是耶和华说的。
12 “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
以色列啊，我必向你如此行； 以色列啊，我既这样行， 你当预备迎见你的 神。
13 For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of Armies, is his name.”
那创山、造风、将心意指示人、 使晨光变为幽暗、脚踏在地之高处的， 他的名是耶和华—万军之 神。
