Amos 8
1 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw a basket of fruit.
主耶和华又指示我一件事：我看见一筐夏天的果子。
2 He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” I said, “A basket of fruit.” Then the Lord told me, “This is the end of my people Israel! I won't ignore their sins anymore.
他说：“阿摩司啊，你看见什么？”我说：“看见一筐夏天的果子。”耶和华说：“我民以色列的结局到了，我必不再宽恕他们。”
3 On that day the Temple songs will become sorrowful wailing. There will be dead bodies scattered everywhere. Silence!” declares the Lord.
主耶和华说：“那日，殿中的诗歌变为哀号；必有许多尸首在各处抛弃，无人作声。”
4 Listen to this, you who trample down the needy, and wipe out the poor of the land.
你们这些要吞吃穷乏人、 使困苦人衰败的，当听我的话！
5 You who ask, “When will the holy day be over so we can get back to selling grain? When will the Sabbath be over so we can open our storehouses, and cheat people with short measures and unfair scales?”
你们说：月朔几时过去， 我们好卖粮； 安息日几时过去， 我们好摆开麦子； 卖出用小升斗， 收银用大戥子， 用诡诈的天平欺哄人，
6 You buy the poor for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals, and you sell grain mixed with chaff.
好用银子买贫寒人， 用一双鞋换穷乏人， 将坏了的麦子卖给人。
7 The Lord God, of whom the descendants of Jacob are so proud, has sworn an oath: I will never forget the evil you have done.
耶和华指着雅各的荣耀起誓说： 他们的一切行为，我必永远不忘。
8 Shall not the land tremble because of this, and everyone who lives there mourn? The earth will rise up like the Nile river in flood, be tossed around, and then fall again.
地岂不因这事震动？ 其上的居民不也悲哀吗？ 地必全然像尼罗河涨起， 如同埃及河涌上落下。
9 On that day, declares the Lord God, I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the land during the daytime.
主耶和华说：到那日， 我必使日头在午间落下， 使地在白昼黑暗。
10 I will turn your festivals into times of mourning, your happy songs into laments. I will make you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make your mourning like that for an only son. At the end of it all it will be a bitter day.
我必使你们的节期变为悲哀， 歌曲变为哀歌。 众人腰束麻布，头上光秃， 使这场悲哀如丧独生子， 至终如痛苦的日子一样。
11 The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, or a lack of water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
主耶和华说：日子将到， 我必命饥荒降在地上。 人饥饿非因无饼，干渴非因无水， 乃因不听耶和华的话。
12 People will wander from sea to sea, from north to east, running to and fro searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
他们必飘流，从这海到那海， 从北边到东边，往来奔跑， 寻求耶和华的话，却寻不着。
13 On that day, even the beautiful girls and healthy young men will collapse from thirst.
当那日，美貌的处女 和少年的男子必因干渴发昏。
14 Those who swear by the disgraceful idols of Samaria, who take oaths like, “By the life of your god, Dan,” or “A pilgrimage to the god of Beersheba”—they will fall, and never rise again.
那指着撒马利亚牛犊起誓的说： 但哪，我们指着你那里的活神起誓； 又说：我们指着别是巴的神道起誓。 这些人都必仆倒，永不再起来。
