Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say unto their lords: 'Bring, that we may feast.'
你們住撒馬利亞山如巴珊母牛的啊， 當聽我的話－ 你們欺負貧寒的，壓碎窮乏的， 對家主說：拿酒來，我們喝吧！
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by His holiness: Lo, surely the days shall come upon you, that ye shall be taken away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks.
主耶和華指着自己的聖潔起誓說： 日子快到，人必用鉤子將你們鉤去， 用魚鉤將你們餘剩的鉤去。
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight before her; and ye shall be cast into Harmon, saith the LORD.
你們各人必從破口直往前行， 投入哈門。 這是耶和華說的。
4 Come to Beth-el, and transgress, to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three days;
以色列人哪，任你們往伯特利去犯罪， 到吉甲加增罪過； 每日早晨獻上你們的祭物， 每三日奉上你們的十分之一。
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them; for so ye love to do, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
任你們獻有酵的感謝祭， 把甘心祭宣傳報告給眾人， 因為是你們所喜愛的。 這是主耶和華說的。
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
我使你們在一切城中牙齒乾淨， 在你們各處糧食缺乏， 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
7 And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city; one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
在收割的前三月，我使雨停止， 不降在你們那裏； 我降雨在這城， 不降雨在那城； 這塊地有雨， 那塊地無雨； 無雨的就枯乾了。
8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
這樣，兩三城的人湊到一城去找水， 卻喝不足； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath the palmer-worm devoured; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
我以旱風、霉爛攻擊你們， 你們園中許多菜蔬、葡萄樹、 無花果樹、橄欖樹都被剪蟲所吃； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
10 I have sent among you the pestilence in the way of Egypt; your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
我降瘟疫在你們中間， 像在埃及一樣； 用刀殺戮你們的少年人， 使你們的馬匹被擄掠， 營中屍首的臭氣撲鼻； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD.
我傾覆你們中間的城邑， 如同我從前傾覆所多瑪、蛾摩拉一樣， 使你們好像從火中抽出來的一根柴； 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
以色列啊，我必向你如此行； 以色列啊，我既這樣行， 你當預備迎見你的上帝。
13 For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; the LORD, the God of hosts, is His name.
那創山、造風、將心意指示人、 使晨光變為幽暗、腳踏在地之高處的， 他的名是耶和華－萬軍之上帝。
