< Amos 4 >

1 Hear the word this O cows of Bashan who [are] on [the] mountain of Samaria who oppress poor [people] who crush needy [people] who say to masters their bring! so we may drink.
你們住撒馬利亞山如巴珊母牛的啊, 當聽我的話- 你們欺負貧寒的,壓碎窮乏的, 對家主說:拿酒來,我們喝吧!
2 He has sworn [the] Lord Yahweh by holiness his for here! days [are] coming on you and someone will take away you with barbs and posterity your with hooks of fishing.
主耶和華指着自己的聖潔起誓說: 日子快到,人必用鉤子將你們鉤去, 用魚鉤將你們餘剩的鉤去。
3 And breaches you will go out each before herself and you will throw Harmon towards [the] utterance of Yahweh.
你們各人必從破口直往前行, 投入哈門。 這是耶和華說的。
4 Come Beth-el and transgress Gilgal increase to transgress and bring to the morning sacrifices your to three days tithes your.
以色列人哪,任你們往伯特利去犯罪, 到吉甲加增罪過; 每日早晨獻上你們的祭物, 每三日奉上你們的十分之一。
5 And make smoke from a thing leavened a thank-offering and proclaim freewill offerings make [them] heard for thus you love O people of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
任你們獻有酵的感謝祭, 把甘心祭宣傳報告給眾人, 因為是你們所喜愛的。 這是主耶和華說的。
6 And also I I gave to you cleanness of teeth in all cities your and lack of bread in all places your and not you returned to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我使你們在一切城中牙齒乾淨, 在你們各處糧食缺乏, 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
7 And also I I withheld from you the rain in yet three months [were] to the harvest and I sent rain on a city one and on a city one not I sent rain a portion of ground one it was rained on and a portion of ground which not it sent rain on it it dried up.
在收割的前三月,我使雨停止, 不降在你們那裏; 我降雨在這城, 不降雨在那城; 這塊地有雨, 那塊地無雨; 無雨的就枯乾了。
8 And they staggered two three cities to a city one to drink water and not they were satisfied and not you returned to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
這樣,兩三城的人湊到一城去找水, 卻喝不足; 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
9 I struck you with blight and with mildew to make many gardens your and vineyards your and fig trees your and olive trees your it ate the locust and not you returned to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我以旱風、霉爛攻擊你們, 你們園中許多菜蔬、葡萄樹、 無花果樹、橄欖樹都被剪蟲所吃; 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
10 I sent among you pestilence in [the] manner of Egypt I killed by the sword young men your with [the] capture of horses your and I caused to go up [the] stench of camp your in nose your and not you returned to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我降瘟疫在你們中間, 像在埃及一樣; 用刀殺戮你們的少年人, 使你們的馬匹被擄掠, 營中屍首的臭氣撲鼻; 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
11 I overthrew among you like [the] overthrow of God Sodom and Gomorrah and you were like a piece of firewood plucked out (from [the] burning *L(abh)*) and not you returned to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我傾覆你們中間的城邑, 如同我從前傾覆所多瑪、蛾摩拉一樣, 使你們好像從火中抽出來的一根柴; 你們仍不歸向我。 這是耶和華說的。
12 Therefore thus I will do to you O Israel consequence for this I will do to you be prepared to meet God your O Israel.
以色列啊,我必向你如此行; 以色列啊,我既這樣行, 你當預備迎見你的上帝。
13 For here! [one who] formed mountains and [one who] created wind and [one who] tells to humankind what? [is] thought his [one who] makes dawn darkness and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] earth [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
那創山、造風、將心意指示人、 使晨光變為幽暗、腳踏在地之高處的, 他的名是耶和華-萬軍之上帝。
