< Amos 9 >
1 I saw the LORD standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
我看见主站在祭坛旁边; 他说:你要击打柱顶,使门槛震动, 打碎柱顶,落在众人头上; 所剩下的人,我必用刀杀戮, 无一人能逃避,无一人能逃脱。
2 Though they dig into hell, there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, there will I bring them down: (Sheol )
他们虽然挖透阴间, 我的手必取出他们来; 虽然爬上天去, 我必拿下他们来; (Sheol )
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
虽然藏在迦密山顶, 我必搜寻,捉出他们来; 虽然从我眼前藏在海底, 我必命蛇咬他们;
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.
虽被仇敌掳去, 我必命刀剑杀戮他们; 我必向他们定住眼目, 降祸不降福。
5 And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
主—万军之耶和华摸地,地就消化, 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼罗河涨起, 如同埃及河落下。
6 It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
那在天上建造楼阁、 在地上安定穹苍、 命海水浇在地上的— 耶和华是他的名。
7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
耶和华说:以色列人哪, 我岂不看你们如古实人吗? 我岂不是领以色列人出埃及地, 领非利士人出迦斐托, 领亚兰人出吉珥吗?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
主耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国, 必将这国从地上灭绝, 却不将雅各家灭绝净尽。 这是耶和华说的。
9 For, see, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall on the earth.
我必出令, 将以色列家分散在列国中, 好像用筛子筛谷, 连一粒也不落在地上。
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
我民中的一切罪人说: 灾祸必追不上我们, 也迎不着我们。 他们必死在刀下。
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
到那日,我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕, 堵住其中的破口, 把那破坏的建立起来, 重新修造,像古时一样,
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
使以色列人得以东所余剩的 和所有称为我名下的国。 此乃行这事的耶和华说的。
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
耶和华说: 日子将到, 耕种的必接续收割的; 踹葡萄的必接续撒种的; 大山要滴下甜酒; 小山都必流奶。
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
我必使我民以色列被掳的归回; 他们必重修荒废的城邑居住, 栽种葡萄园,喝其中所出的酒, 修造果木园,吃其中的果子。
15 And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
我要将他们栽于本地, 他们不再从我所赐给他们的地上拔出来。 这是耶和华—你的 神说的。
