Amos 9
1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.
我看見主站在祭壇旁邊； 他說：你要擊打柱頂，使門檻震動， 打碎柱頂，落在眾人頭上； 所剩下的人，我必用刀殺戮， 無一人能逃避，無一人能逃脫。
2 If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)
他們雖然挖透陰間， 我的手必取出他們來； 雖然爬上天去， 我必拿下他們來； (Sheol h7585)
3 And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.
雖然藏在迦密山頂， 我必搜尋，捉出他們來； 雖然從我眼前藏在海底， 我必命蛇咬他們；
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.
雖被仇敵擄去， 我必命刀劍殺戮他們； 我必向他們定住眼目， 降禍不降福。
5 And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.
主－萬軍之耶和華摸地，地就消化， 凡住在地上的都必悲哀。 地必全然像尼羅河漲起， 如同埃及河落下。
6 Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.
那在天上建造樓閣、 在地上安定穹蒼、 命海水澆在地上的－ 耶和華是他的名。
7 As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
耶和華說：以色列人哪， 我豈不看你們如古實人嗎？ 我豈不是領以色列人出埃及地， 領非利士人出迦斐託， 領亞蘭人出吉珥嗎？
8 Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
主耶和華的眼目察看這有罪的國， 必將這國從地上滅絕， 卻不將雅各家滅絕淨盡。 這是耶和華說的。
9 For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.
我必出令， 將以色列家分散在列國中， 好像用篩子篩穀， 連一粒也不落在地上。
10 By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'
我民中的一切罪人說： 災禍必追不上我們， 也迎不着我們。 他們必死在刀下。
11 In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.
到那日，我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕， 堵住其中的破口， 把那破壞的建立起來， 重新修造，像古時一樣，
12 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.
使以色列人得以東所餘剩的 和所有稱為我名下的國。 此乃行這事的耶和華說的。
13 Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.
耶和華說： 日子將到， 耕種的必接續收割的； 踹葡萄的必接續撒種的； 大山要滴下甜酒； 小山都必流奶。
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
我必使我民以色列被擄的歸回； 他們必重修荒廢的城邑居住， 栽種葡萄園，喝其中所出的酒， 修造果木園，吃其中的果子。
15 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
我要將他們栽於本地， 他們不再從我所賜給他們的地上拔出來。 這是耶和華－你的上帝說的。
