Amos 3
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up 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 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you 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 Do two walk together if they have not met?
二人若不同心，岂能同行呢？
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
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 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
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 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has 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 For Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants 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 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
狮子吼叫，谁不惧怕呢？ 主耶和华发命，谁能不说预言呢？
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
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 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil 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 said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
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 said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
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 Hear and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
主耶和华—万军之 神说： 当听这话，警戒雅各家。
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
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 have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
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。
