< Amos 1 >
1 These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
当犹大王乌西雅,以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在位的时候,大地震前二年,提哥亚牧人中的阿摩司得默示论以色列。
2 He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
他说:耶和华必从锡安吼叫, 从耶路撒冷发声; 牧人的草场要悲哀; 迦密的山顶要枯干。

耶和华如此说: 亚扪人三番四次地犯罪, 我必不免去他们的刑罚; 因为他们剖开基列的孕妇, 扩张自己的境界。
14 So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
我却要在争战呐喊的日子, 旋风狂暴的时候, 点火在拉巴的城内, 烧灭其中的宫殿。
