Amos 1
1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, which he prophesied 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 earth quake. He said: —
亞毛斯的言論：亞毛斯原是特科亞的一個牧人，在猶大王烏齊亞時代和以色列王耶曷阿士的兒子雅洛貝罕時代，地震前二年，見了關於以色列的神視。
2 Jehovah will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, And the top of Carmel shall wither.
他說：「上主由熙雍一怒吼，從耶路撒冷一出聲，牧場即淒涼，加爾默耳山頂即乾枯。」

8 And I will destroy the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; And I will turn my hand against Ekron, And the residue of the Philistines shall perish. The Lord, Jehovah, hath said it.

在作戰之日的吶喊中，在風雨的狂暴中，我必在辣巴的城牆上放火，燒盡她的王宮。
15 Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
他們的君王和君王的官吏必一起被擄去」──上主說。
