Amos 2
1 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
耶和华如此说： 摩押三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去她的刑罚； 因为她将以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
2 I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
我却要降火在摩押， 烧灭加略的宫殿。 摩押必在哄嚷呐喊吹角之中死亡。
3 I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
我必剪除摩押中的审判者， 将其中的一切首领和他一同杀戮。 这是耶和华说的。
4 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
耶和华如此说： 犹大人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因为他们厌弃耶和华的训诲， 不遵守他的律例。 他们列祖所随从虚假的偶像使他们走迷了。
5 I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
我却要降火在犹大， 烧灭耶路撒冷的宫殿。
6 This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
耶和华如此说： 以色列人三番四次地犯罪， 我必不免去他们的刑罚； 因他们为银子卖了义人， 为一双鞋卖了穷人。
7 They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
他们见穷人头上所蒙的灰也都垂涎， 阻碍谦卑人的道路。 父子同一个女子行淫， 亵渎我的圣名。
8 They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
他们在各坛旁铺人所当的衣服，卧在其上， 又在他们神的庙中喝受罚之人的酒。
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
我从以色列人面前除灭亚摩利人。 他虽高大如香柏树，坚固如橡树， 我却上灭他的果子，下绝他的根本。
10 Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
我也将你们从埃及地领上来， 在旷野引导你们四十年， 使你们得亚摩利人之地为业。
11 I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
我从你们子弟中兴起先知， 又从你们少年人中兴起拿细耳人。 以色列人哪，不是这样吗？ 这是耶和华说的。
12 But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
你们却给拿细耳人酒喝， 嘱咐先知说：不要说预言。
13 Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
看哪，在你们所住之地，我必压你们， 如同装满禾捆的车压物一样。
14 The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
快跑的不能逃脱； 有力的不能用力； 刚勇的也不能自救。
15 The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
拿弓的不能站立； 腿快的不能逃脱； 骑马的也不能自救。
16 Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
到那日，勇士中最有胆量的， 必赤身逃跑。 这是耶和华说的。
