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.
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。
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。
3 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
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。

5 I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
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。
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
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。

我卻要降火在迦薩的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
8 I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
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。
9 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
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。

我卻要降火在泰爾的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
11 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
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。

我卻要降火在提幔， 燒滅波斯拉的宮殿。
13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
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。
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。
15 Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
他們的王和首領必一同被擄去。 這是耶和華說的。
