摩3

阿摩司書-Amos 第 3 章

3:1	以色列人哪，你們全族是我從埃及地領上來的，當聽耶和華攻擊你們的這話，說， Hear this word that Jehovah has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
3:2	在地上萬族中，我只認識你們；因此，我必追討你們的一切罪孽。 Only you have I known Of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will visit upon you All your iniquities.
3:3	二人若不在約定的地方相會，豈能同行呢？ Will two walk together If they have not met at an appointed place?
3:4	獅子若無獵物，豈會在林中咆哮麼？少壯獅子若無所得，豈會從洞中發聲麼？ Will the lion roar in the forest When he has no prey? Will a young lion utter his voice from his den If he has not seized anything?
3:5	若沒有設網羅的，雀鳥豈會陷在地上的網羅裡麼？網羅若無所得，豈會從地上彈起麼？ Will a bird fall into a trap on the earth When there is no snare laid for it? Will a trap spring up off the ground When it has seized nothing at all?
3:6	城中若吹角，百姓豈不驚恐麼？城中若有災禍，豈非耶和華所降的麼？ Can a trumpet be blown in a city And the people not dread? Can there be ill in a city And Jehovah did not do it?
3:7	主耶和華若不將秘密啟示祂的僕人眾申言者，就一無所行。 Surely the Lord Jehovah will not do anything unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
3:8	獅子吼叫，誰不懼怕呢？主耶和華說了話，誰能不申言呢？ The lion has roared-Who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken-Who can but prophesy?
3:9	要在亞實突的宮殿中，和埃及地的宮殿裡，使人聽見，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，在城內有何等的欺壓； Cause it to be heard in the palaces of Ashdod And in the palaces of the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves in the mountains of Samaria, And see what great tumults are in the midst of it And what oppressions are within it;
3:10	那些把強暴和殘害，積蓄在自己宮中的人，不知道行正直的事；這是耶和華說的。 And they do not know to do what is right, Declares Jehovah, They who store up violence and devastation in their palaces.
3:11	所以主耶和華如此說，必有敵人包圍這地，使你的勢力衰微，搶掠你的宮殿。 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, An adversary! Indeed one surrounding the land; And he will bring down your strength from you, And your palaces will be plundered.
3:12	耶和華如此說，牧人怎樣從獅子口中搶回兩條羊腿或一片耳朵，住撒瑪利亞的以色列人得救，也不過只剩床榻的一角，和一件鋪絲毯的床褥。 Thus says Jehovah, As the shepherd rescues Out of the mouth of the lion Two legs or a piece of the ear, So will the children of Israel Who dwell in Samaria be rescued, With the corner of a bed And a silk cushion of a couch.
3:13	主耶和華萬軍之神說，當聽這話，作證警戒雅各家。 Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
3:14	我追討以色列罪的日子，也要追討伯特利祭壇的罪；壇角必被砍下，墜落於地。 For in the day when I visit The transgressions of Israel upon him, I will visit the altars of Bethel, And the horns of the altar will be cut off And will fall to the ground.
3:15	我要擊打過冬和過夏的房屋，象牙的房屋也必毀滅，許多房屋必歸無有，這是耶和華說的。 And I will strike the winter house Along with the summer house; And the houses of ivory will perish, And many houses will come to an end, Declares Jehovah.
