Amos 1
1 THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
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 And he said: The LORD roareth from Zion, and uttereth His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
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 For thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have 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。

6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they carried away captive a whole captivity, to deliver 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。
7 So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof;
我卻要降火在迦薩的城內， 燒滅其中的宮殿。
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
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 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant.
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。

我卻要降火在提幔， 燒滅波斯拉的宮殿。
13 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
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 will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
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 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
他們的王和首領必一同被擄去。 這是耶和華說的。
