Amos 6
1 Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.
國為列國之首，人最著名， 且為以色列家所歸向， 在錫安和撒馬利亞山安逸無慮的，有禍了！
2 Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border?
你們要過到甲尼察看， 從那裏往大城哈馬去， 又下到非利士人的迦特， 看那些國比你們的國還強嗎？ 境界比你們的境界還寬嗎？
3 Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,
你們以為降禍的日子還遠， 坐在位上盡行強暴。
4 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
你們躺臥在象牙床上，舒身在榻上， 吃群中的羊羔，棚裏的牛犢；
5 Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
彈琴鼓瑟唱消閑的歌曲， 為自己製造樂器，如同大衛所造的；
6 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
以大碗喝酒，用上等的油抹身， 卻不為約瑟的苦難擔憂。
7 Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.
所以這些人必在被擄的人中首先被擄； 舒身的人荒宴之樂必消滅了。
8 Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.
主耶和華－萬軍之上帝指着自己起誓說： 我憎惡雅各的榮華，厭棄他的宮殿； 因此，我必將城和其中所有的都交付敵人。
9 And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.
那時，若在一房之內剩下十個人，也都必死。
10 And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, 'Is there yet with thee?' And he said, 'None,' then he said, 'Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.'
死人的伯叔，就是燒他屍首的，要將這屍首搬到房外，問房屋內間的人說：「你那裏還有人沒有？」他必說：「沒有」；又說：「不要作聲，因為我們不可提耶和華的名。」
11 For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
看哪，耶和華出令， 大房就被攻破， 小屋就被打裂。
12 Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
馬豈能在崖石上奔跑？ 人豈能在那裏用牛耕種呢？ 你們卻使公平變為苦膽， 使公義的果子變為茵蔯。
13 O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, 'Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?'
你們喜愛虛浮的事，自誇說： 我們不是憑自己的力量取了角嗎？
14 Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
耶和華、萬軍之上帝說： 以色列家啊，我必興起一國攻擊你們； 他們必欺壓你們， 從哈馬口直到亞拉巴的河。
