Amos 4
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who [are] in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: 'Bring in, and we do 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 Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
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 [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that] over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.
你們各人必從破口直往前行， 投入哈門。 這是耶和華說的。
4 Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.
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 perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 I also — I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And ye have not turned back unto Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 I also — I have withheld from you the rain. While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it raineth not withereth.
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 wandered have two or three cities, Unto the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 have smitten you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, Eat doth the palmer-worm, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain by sword your choice ones, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up — even into your nostrils, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 do to thee, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to thee, Prepare to meet thy God, 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, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] His name!
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。
