Amos 2
1 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
耶和華如此說： 摩押三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罰； 因為她將以東王的骸骨焚燒成灰。
2 And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
我卻要降火在摩押， 燒滅加略的宮殿。 摩押必在鬨嚷吶喊吹角之中死亡。
3 And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.
我必剪除摩押中的審判者， 將其中的一切首領和他一同殺戮。 這是耶和華說的。
4 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
耶和華如此說： 猶大人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他們的刑罰； 因為他們厭棄耶和華的訓誨， 不遵守他的律例。 他們列祖所隨從虛假的偶像使他們走迷了。
5 And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.
我卻要降火在猶大， 燒滅耶路撒冷的宮殿。
6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
耶和華如此說： 以色列人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他們的刑罰； 因他們為銀子賣了義人， 為一雙鞋賣了窮人。
7 Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:
他們見窮人頭上所蒙的灰也都垂涎， 阻礙謙卑人的道路。 父子同一個女子行淫， 褻瀆我的聖名。
8 By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.
他們在各壇旁鋪人所當的衣服，臥在其上， 又在他們神的廟中喝受罰之人的酒。
9 Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.
我從以色列人面前除滅亞摩利人。 他雖高大如香柏樹，堅固如橡樹， 我卻上滅他的果子，下絕他的根本。
10 And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
我也將你們從埃及地領上來， 在曠野引導你們四十年， 使你們得亞摩利人之地為業。
11 And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
我從你們子弟中興起先知， 又從你們少年人中興起拿細耳人。 以色列人哪，不是這樣嗎？ 這是耶和華說的。
12 But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
你們卻給拿細耳人酒喝， 囑咐先知說：不要說預言。
13 See, I am crushing you down, as one is crushed under a cart full of grain.
看哪，在你們所住之地，我必壓你們， 如同裝滿禾捆的車壓物一樣。
14 And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:
快跑的不能逃脫； 有力的不能用力； 剛勇的也不能自救。
15 And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.
拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脫； 騎馬的也不能自救。
16 And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.
到那日，勇士中最有膽量的， 必赤身逃跑。 這是耶和華說的。
