阿摩司書

第8章

1 主耶和華又指示我一件事:我看見一籃夏天的果子。

2 他說:「阿摩司啊,你看見甚麼?」我說:「看見一籃夏天的果子。」耶和華說:「我民以色列的結局到了,我必不再寬恕他們。」

3 主耶和華說:「那日,殿中的詩歌變為哀號。必有許多屍首在各處拋棄;拋屍首的必不作聲[they shall cast them forth with silence]。」

4 你們這些吞吃[swallow up]窮乏人、使境內[of the land]困苦人衰敗的[O],當聽我的話,

5 你們說:月朔幾時過去,使[that]我們好賣[corn][When]?安息日幾時過去,使[that]我們好擺開麥子,將伊法做小一點[making the ephah small]舍客勒做大一些[and the shekel great],用詭詐的天平欺哄人?

6 好用銀子買貧寒人,用一雙鞋換窮乏人,將壞了的麥子賣給人[may]

7 耶和華指著雅各的榮耀起誓說:他們的一切行為,我必永遠不忘。

8 地豈不因這事顫動[tremble]?其上的居民不也悲哀嗎?地必全然漲起好像洪水[rise up wholly as a flood]如被埃及洪水沖去淹沒[cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt]

9 主耶和華說:到那日,我必使日頭在午間落下,使地在白晝黑暗。

10 我必使你們的節期變為悲哀,歌曲變為哀歌。眾人腰束麻布,頭上光禿,使這場悲哀如喪獨生子,至終如痛苦的日子一樣。

11 主耶和華說:看哪[Behold],日子將到,我必命饑荒降在地上。人飢餓非因無餅,乾渴非因無水,乃因不聽耶和華的話。

12 他們必飄流,從這海到那海,從北邊到東邊,往來奔跑,尋求耶和華的話,卻尋不著。

13 當那日,美貌的處女和少年的男子必因乾渴發昏。

14 那些[They that]指著撒瑪利亞的[sin]起誓的說:但哪,我們指著你的神[Thy god]起誓;又說:我們指著別.是巴的風俗[manner]起誓;這些人都必仆倒,永不再起來。

1 Thus3541 hath the Lord136 GOD3069 showed7200 unto me: and behold2009 a basket3619 of summer fruit.7019

2 And he said,559 Amos,5986 what4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 A basket3619 of summer fruit.7019 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, The end7093 is come935 upon413 my people5971 of Israel;3478 I will not3808 again3254 pass by5674 them any more.5750

3 And the songs7892 of the temple1964 shall be howlings3213 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 there shall be many7227 dead bodies6297 in every3605 place;4725 they shall cast them forth7993 with silence.2013

4 Hear8085 this,2063 O ye that swallow up7602 the needy,34 even to make the poor6041 of the land776 to fail,7673

5 Saying,559 When4970 will the new moon2320 be gone,5674 that we may sell7666 corn?7668 and the sabbath,7676 that we may set forth6605 wheat,1250 making the ephah small,6994 374 and the shekel8255 great,1431 and falsifying5791 the balances3976 by deceit?4820

6 That we may buy7069 the poor1800 for silver,3701 and the needy34 for5668 a pair of shoes;5275 yea, and sell7666 the refuse4651 of the wheat?1250

7 The LORD3068 hath sworn7650 by the excellency1347 of Jacob,3290 Surely518 I will never5331 forget7911 any3605 of their works.4639

8 Shall not3808 the land776 tremble7264 for5921 this,2063 and every one3605 mourn56 that dwelleth3427 therein? and it shall rise up5927 wholly3605 as a flood;2975 and it shall be cast out1644 and drowned,8257 as by the flood2975 of Egypt.4714

9 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I will cause the sun8121 to go down935 at noon,6672 and I will darken2821 the earth776 in the clear216 day: 3117

10 And I will turn2015 your feasts2282 into mourning,60 and all3605 your songs7892 into lamentation;7015 and I will bring up5927 sackcloth8242 upon5921 all3605 loins,4975 and baldness7144 upon5921 every3605 head;7218 and I will make7760 it as the mourning60 of an only3173 son, and the end319 thereof as a bitter4751 day.3117

11 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I will send7971 a famine7458 in the land,776 not3808 a famine7458 of bread,3899 nor3808 a thirst6772 for water,4325 but3588 518 of hearing8085 853 the words1697 of the LORD: 3068

12 And they shall wander5128 from sea4480 3220 to5704 sea,3220 and from the north4480 6828 even to5704 the east,4217 they shall run to and fro7751 to seek1245 853 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and shall not3808 find4672 it.

13 In that1931 day3117 shall the fair3303 virgins1330 and young men970 faint5968 for thirst.6772

14 They that swear7650 by the sin819 of Samaria,8111 and say,559 Thy god,430 O Dan,1835 liveth;2416 and, The manner1870 of Beer-sheba884 liveth;2416 even they shall fall,5307 and never3808 rise up6965 again.5750
