Amos 2
1 The Lord God seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Moab, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte it, for it brente the boonys of the kyng of Idumee til to aische.
上主這樣說：「為了摩阿布再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們曾將厄東的骨骸焚化成灰。
2 And Y schal sende fier in to Moab, and it schal deuoure the housis of Carioth; and Moab schal die in sown, in the noise of a trumpe.
我必將火投於摩阿布，燒盡克黎約特的王宮；摩阿布必在騷嚷、吶喊和號角聲中滅亡。
3 And Y schal leese a iuge of the myddis therof, and Y schal sle with it alle the princes therof, seith the Lord.
我必由其中消滅民長，將她的一切長官同她一起殺死」──上主說。
4 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Juda, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte hym, for he hath caste awei the lawe of the Lord, and kepte not the comaundementis of hym; for her idols, after whiche the fadris of hem yeden, disseyueden hem.
上主這樣說：「為了猶大再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們離背了上主的法律，沒有遵守衪的誡命；他們祖先所追隨的邪神，使他們走入了岐途。
5 And Y schal sende fier in to Juda, and it schal deuoure the housis of Jerusalem.
我必把火投於，燒盡耶路撒冷的王官」
6 The Lord seith these thingis, On thre grete trespassis of Israel, and on foure, Y schal not conuerte hym, for that that he seelde a iust man for siluer, and a pore man for schoon.
上主這樣說：「為了以色列再三再四犯罪，我不收回成命，因為他們為了銀錢出賣人；為一雙鞋，出賣無辜的人。
7 Whiche al to-foulen the heedis of pore men on the dust of erthe, and bowen awei the weie of meke men; and the sone and his fadir yeden to a damesele, that thei schulden defoule myn hooli name.
他們把窮人的頭踏在塵土裏，侵奪卑微人的權利；兒子與父親走近同一少女，以致褻瀆我的聖名；
8 And thei eeten on clothis leid to wedde bisidis ech auter, and drunken the wyn of dampned men in the hous of her God.
他們靠近每個祭壇，躺在抵押者的衣服上，在他們的神廟內喝剝削來的酒。
9 Forsothe Y distriede Ammorrei fro the face of hem, whos hiynesse was the hiynesse of cedris, and he was strong as an ook; and Y al to-brak the fruyt of hym aboue, and the rootis of hym bynethe.
是我由你們面前消滅了阿摩黎人，他們雖高大似香柏，堅固如橡樹，但我仍從樹上摘去了果實，由樹下拔出了根子。
10 Y am, that made you to stie fro the lond of Egipt, and ledde you out in desert bi fourti yeer, that ye schulden welde the lond of Ammorrei.
是我由埃及國領你們上來，四十年之久引你們經過曠野，使你們佔領了阿摩黎人的國土。
11 And Y reiside of youre sones in to profetis, and Nayareis of youre yonge men. Whether it is not so, ye sones of Israel? seith the Lord.
是我從你們的子孫中立了一些人為先知，由你們少年中選拔了一些人作獻身者。以色列子民，是不是這樣呢﹖──上主的斷語。
12 And ye birliden wyn to Nayareis, and comaundiden to profetis, and seiden, Profecie ye not.
但是，你們竟叫獻身者喝酒，又吩咐先知說：「別傳神言! 」
13 Lo! Y schal charke vndur you, as a wayn chargid with hei charkith.
看，我要使你們腳下的地搖蕩，好像車搖蕩一樣，
14 And fliyt schal perische fro a swift man, and a strong man schal not holde his vertu, and a stalworthe man schal not saue his lijf;
以致疾行者無法逃遁，強有力者無法施展，武士救不了自己，
15 and he that holdith a bowe schal not stonde, and a swift man schal not be sauyd by hise feet; and the stiere of an hors schal not saue his lijf,
弓手不能屹立，捷足者不能逃脫，騎馬者不能自救。
16 and a stronge man of herte schal fle nakid among stronge men in that dai, seith the Lord.
在那一天，武士中最勇敢的，也僅能赤身逃走」──上主的斷語。
