阿摩司書

第6章

1 名為[which are named]列國之首、且為以色列家所歸向、在錫安安逸無慮[that are at ease in Zion]依靠撒瑪利亞山的[and trust in the mountain of Samaria],有禍了。

2 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。看他們[they]這些[these]國還強嗎?他們的[their]境界比你們的境界還寬嗎?

3 你們以為降禍的日子還遠,使強暴的座位臨近[cause the seat of violence to come near]

4 你們躺臥在象牙床上,舒身在榻上,吃群中的綿羊羔[lambs],棚裏的牛犢;

5 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 以大碗喝酒,用上等的油抹身,卻不為約瑟的苦難擔憂。

7 所以這些人必在被擄的人中首先被擄;舒身的人筵席[banquet]之樂必消滅了。

8 主耶和華─大軍之神耶和華[LORD]指著自己起誓說:我憎惡雅各的榮華,厭惡[hate]他的宮殿;因此,我必將城和其中所有的都交付敵人。

9 那時,若在一房之內剩下十個人,也都必死。

10 死人的伯叔,就是燒他屍首的,要將這屍骨[bones]搬到房外,問房屋旁邊[by the sides of]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 看哪,耶和華出令,大房就被[he]攻破,小屋就被打裂。

12 馬豈能在崖石上奔跑?人豈[will]在那裏用牛耕種呢?你們卻使公平變為苦膽,使公義的果子變為苦菜[hemlock]

13 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 然而[But]耶和華、大軍之神說:以色列家啊,看哪[behold],我必興起一國攻擊你們;他們必欺壓你們,從進入哈馬的入口[entering in of Hemath]直到曠野[wilderness]的河。

Amos

Chapter 6

1 WOE to them who despise Zion and trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are chosen by the chiefs of the nations that have captivated the house of Israel!

2 Pass over to Caliah and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory?

3 O you who wait for the evil day, and cause the sabbath of violence to come near;

4 Who lie upon beds of ivory, and give themselves to pleasures upon their couches, and eat the fatlings from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd;

5 Who chant to the sound of the harp, and consider themselves skilled in the musical instruments like David;

6 Who drink pure wine, and anoint themselves with the finest perfumes; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

7 Therefore now they shall be carried captive with the first who go captive, and the joy shall be taken away from their rulers.

8 The LORD God has sworn by himself, says the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob and hate his palaces; therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house that they shall die.

10 And a man's uncle or one who is near to him shall carry the dead body out of the house; and he shall say to him who is in the house, Is there any one else in the house with you? And he shall say, There is no one, because they have perished; for they did not mention the name of the LORD.

11 For, behold, the LORD will go forth and he will smite the great house and cause it to quiver, and the little house will he make desolate.

12 Do horses run upon rocks? Or does one plough with horses? For you have turned justice into bitterness, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;

13 You who rejoice over nothing, who say, Have we not taken a city by our own strength?

14 Therefore, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall drive you away from the entrance of Hamath to the valley of Arabah.
