Amos 6
1 Sorrow awaits who are carefree in Zion, overconfident on the mountain of Samaria! The elite of this, the best of nations, on whom the people of Israel rest their hopes!
国为列国之首，人最著名， 且为以色列家所归向， 在锡安和撒马利亚山安逸无虑的，有祸了！
2 You say to the people: Cross over to Calneh and see, go from there to Hamath the great, then go down to Gath of the Philistines: Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?
你们要过到甲尼察看， 从那里往大城哈马去， 又下到非利士人的迦特， 看那些国比你们的国还强吗？ 境界比你们的境界还宽吗？
3 You push away all thoughts of the evil day, yet have instituted a rule of violence.
你们以为降祸的日子还远， 坐在位上尽行强暴。
4 They lie on ivory couches, sprawl on their divans, eat choice lambs from the flock, and fattened calves from the stall.
你们躺卧在象牙床上，舒身在榻上， 吃群中的羊羔，棚里的牛犊；
5 They idly sing to the sound of the lyre, thinking themselves songwriters like David,
弹琴鼓瑟唱消闲的歌曲， 为自己制造乐器，如同大卫所造的；
6 they drink bowlfuls of wine, and anoint themselves with the finest of oil. But they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 却不为约瑟的苦难担忧。
7 Therefore now they must go into exile at the head of the captives, and hushed will be the revelry of the sprawlers.
所以这些人必在被掳的人中首先被掳； 舒身的人荒宴之乐必消灭了。
8 The Lord God, the Lord, the God of hosts, has sworn by himself: I abhor the pride of Jacob, I hate his palaces, therefore I will deliver up the city and all that is in it to their enemies.
主耶和华—万军之 神指着自己起誓说： 我憎恶雅各的荣华，厌弃他的宫殿； 因此，我必将城和其中所有的都交付敌人。
9 If ten people remain in one house, then they will die.
那时，若在一房之内剩下十个人，也都必死。
10 When the uncle and another member of the family of a dead man come to carry the body out of the house for burial, they will call to someone in a corner of the house, “Any more there?” and he will answer, “No”, and then he will add, “Be quiet!” – for the name of the Lord must not be mentioned.
死人的伯叔，就是烧他尸首的，要将这尸首搬到房外，问房屋内间的人说：“你那里还有人没有？”他必说：“没有”；又说：“不要作声，因为我们不可提耶和华的名。”
11 Look! The Lord is giving the command! He will smash the large house to bits, the small house into fragments.
看哪，耶和华出令， 大房就被攻破， 小屋就被打裂。
12 Do horses gallop on crags? Does one plough the sea with oxen? Yet you turn justice into poison weed, and the fruit of righteousness into bitter wormwood.
马岂能在崖石上奔跑？ 人岂能在那里用牛耕种呢？ 你们却使公平变为苦胆， 使公义的果子变为茵 。
13 You who are so proud of capturing Lo-debar, who say, “Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?”
你们喜爱虚浮的事，自夸说： 我们不是凭自己的力量取了角吗？
14 I am now raising up against you, Israel, a nation, says the Lord, the God of hosts. They will oppress you, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
耶和华、万军之 神说： 以色列家啊，我必兴起一国攻击你们； 他们必欺压你们， 从哈马口直到亚拉巴的河。
