Amos 3
1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
以色列人哪，你们全家是我从埃及地领上来的，当听耶和华攻击你们的话：
2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
在地上万族中，我只认识你们； 因此，我必追讨你们的一切罪孽。
3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
二人若不同心，岂能同行呢？
4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?
狮子若非抓食，岂能在林中咆哮呢？ 少壮狮子若无所得，岂能从洞中发声呢？
5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
若没有机槛，雀鸟岂能陷在网罗里呢？ 网罗若无所得，岂能从地上翻起呢？
6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
城中若吹角，百姓岂不惊恐呢？ 灾祸若临到一城，岂非耶和华所降的吗？
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
主耶和华若不将奥秘指示他的仆人—众先知， 就一无所行。
8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
狮子吼叫，谁不惧怕呢？ 主耶和华发命，谁能不说预言呢？
9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
要在亚实突的宫殿中 和埃及地的宫殿里传扬说： 你们要聚集在撒马利亚的山上， 就看见城中有何等大的扰乱与欺压的事。
10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
那些以强暴抢夺财物、 积蓄在自己家中的人 不知道行正直的事。 这是耶和华说的。
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
所以主耶和华如此说： 敌人必来围攻这地， 使你的势力衰微， 抢掠你的家宅。
12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
耶和华如此说：“牧人怎样从狮子口中抢回两条羊腿或半个耳朵，住撒马利亚的以色列人躺卧在床角上或铺绣花毯的榻上，他们得救也不过如此。”
13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
主耶和华—万军之 神说： 当听这话，警戒雅各家。
14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.
我讨以色列罪的日子，也要讨伯特利祭坛的罪； 坛角必被砍下，坠落于地。
15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
我要拆毁过冬和过夏的房屋。 象牙的房屋也必毁灭； 高大的房屋都归无有。 这是耶和华说的。
