阿摩司書

第3章

1 以色列人哪,你們全家是我從埃及地領上來的,當聽耶和華攻擊你們的話:

2 在地上各族[all the families]中,我只認識你們;因此,我必[for]你們的一切罪孽刑罰你們[punish you]

3 二人若不同心,豈能同行呢?

4 獅子若非抓食,豈能在林中咆哮呢?少壯獅子若無所得,豈能從洞中發聲呢?

5 若沒有機檻,雀鳥豈能陷在網羅裏呢?網羅若無所得,[one]豈能從地上收起[take up]呢?

6 城中若吹[trumpet],百姓豈不驚恐呢?一城若有災禍[evil in a city],豈非耶和華所降的嗎?

7 主耶和華若不將奧秘指示他的僕人─眾先知,就一無所行。

8 獅子吼叫,誰不懼怕呢?主耶和華發命,誰能不說預言呢?

9 要在亞實突的宮殿中和埃及地的宮殿裏傳揚說:你們要聚集在撒瑪利亞的山上,就看見城中有何等大的擾亂,並其中被欺壓的人[and the oppressed in the midst thereof]

10 那些以強暴搶奪財物、積蓄在自己[palaces]中的人不知道行正確[right]的事。這是耶和華說的。

11 所以主耶和華如此說:敵人必來圍攻這地,使你的勢力衰微,搶掠你的宮殿[palaces]

12 耶和華如此說:「牧人怎樣從獅子口中搶回兩條羊腿或一塊[a piece of]耳朵,住撒瑪利亞躺臥在床角上和大馬士革[Damascus]榻上的以色列人,也必怎樣[so shall]被取出來[be taken out]。」

13 主耶和華─大軍之神說:你們[ye]當聽這話,[in]雅各家作警戒[testify]

14 使[that]我討以色列罪的日子,也[That]討伯.特利祭壇的罪;壇角必被砍下,墜落於地。

15 我要拆毀過冬和過夏的房屋。象牙的房屋也必毀滅;高大的房屋都歸無有。這是耶和華說的。

1 Hear8085 this2088 word1697 that the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against5921 you, O children1121 of Israel,3478 against5921 the whole3605 family4940 which834 I brought5927 up from the land776 of Egypt,4714 saying,559

2 You only7535 have I known3045 of all3605 the families4940 of the earth:127 therefore5921 3651 I will punish6485 you for all3605 your iniquities.5771

3 Can two8147 walk3212 together,3162 except1115 they be agreed?3259

4 Will a lion738 roar7580 in the forest,3293 when he has no369 prey?2964 will a young3715 lion3715 cry5414 6963 out of his den,4585 if518 he have taken3920 nothing?1115

5 Can a bird6833 fall5307 in a snare6341 on the earth,776 where no369 gin4170 is for him? shall one take5927 up a snare6341 from the earth,127 and have taken3947 nothing3808 at all?

6 Shall a trumpet7782 be blown8628 in the city,5892 and the people5971 not be afraid?2729 shall there be evil7451 in a city,5892 and the LORD3068 has not done6213 it?

7 Surely3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 will do6213 nothing,3808 1697 but he reveals1540 his secret5475 to his servants5650 the prophets.5030

8 The lion738 has roared,7580 who4310 will not fear?3372 the Lord136 GOD3069 has spoken,1696 who4310 can but prophesy?5012

9 Publish8085 in the palaces759 at Ashdod,795 and in the palaces759 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and say,559 Assemble622 yourselves on the mountains2022 of Samaria,8111 and behold7200 the great7227 tumults4103 in the middle7130 thereof, and the oppressed6217 in the middle8432 thereof.

10 For they know3045 not to do6213 right,5229 said5002 the LORD,3068 who store686 up violence2555 and robbery7701 in their palaces.759

11 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 An adversary6862 there shall be even round5439 about the land;776 and he shall bring3381 down3381 your strength5797 from you, and your palaces759 shall be spoiled.962

12 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 As the shepherd7462 takes5337 out of the mouth6310 of the lion738 two8147 legs,3767 or176 a piece915 of an ear;241 so3651 shall the children1121 of Israel3478 be taken5337 out that dwell3427 in Samaria8111 in the corner6285 of a bed,4296 and in Damascus1833 in a couch.6210

13 Hear8085 you, and testify5749 in the house1004 of Jacob,3290 said5001 the Lord136 GOD,3069 the God430 of hosts,6635

14 That in the day3117 that I shall visit6485 the transgressions6588 of Israel3478 on him I will also visit6485 the altars4196 of Bethel:1008 and the horns7161 of the altar4196 shall be cut1438 off, and fall5307 to the ground.776

15 And I will smite5221 the winter2779 house1004 with the summer7019 house;1004 and the houses1004 of ivory8127 shall perish,6 and the great7227 houses1004 shall have an end,5486 said5001 the LORD.3068
