阿摩司书 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1主耶和华指示我一件事：为王割菜之后，菜又发生；刚发生的时候，主造蝗虫。
1This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.
2蝗虫吃尽那地的青物，我就说：「主耶和华啊，求你赦免；因为 雅各 微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？」
2And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”
3耶和华就后悔说：「这灾可以免了。」
3So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.
4主耶和华又指示我一件事：他命火来惩罚 以色列 ，火就吞灭深渊，险些将地烧灭。
4This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.
5我就说：「主耶和华啊，求你止息；因为 雅各 微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？」
5Then I said, “Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”
6耶和华就后悔说：「这灾也可免了。」
6So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen either,” said the Lord GOD.
7他又指示我一件事：有一道墙是按准绳建筑的，主手拿准绳站在其上。
7This is what He showed me: Behold, the Lord was standing by a wall true to plumb, with a plumb line in His hand.
8耶和华对我说：「 阿摩司 啊，你看见什么？」我说：「看见准绳。」主说：「我要吊起准绳在我民 以色列 中，我必不再宽恕他们。
8“Amos, what do you see?” asked the LORD. “A plumb line,” I replied. “Behold,” said the Lord, “I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them:
9以撒 的邱坛必然凄凉； 以色列 的圣所必然荒废。我必兴起，用刀攻击 耶罗波安 的家。」
9The high places of Isaac will be deserted, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with My sword.”
10伯特利 的祭司 亚玛谢 打发人到 以色列 王 耶罗波安 那里，说：「 阿摩司 在 以色列 家中图谋背叛你；他所说的一切话，这国担当不起；
10Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words,
11因为 阿摩司 如此说：『 耶罗波安 必被刀杀； 以色列 民定被掳去离开本地。』」
11for this is what Amos has said: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”
12亚玛谢 又对 阿摩司 说：「你这先见哪，要逃往 犹大 地去，在那里糊口，在那里说预言，
12And Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah; earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.
13却不要在 伯特利 再说预言；因为这里有王的圣所，有王的宫殿。」
13But never prophesy at Bethel again, because it is the sanctuary of the king and the temple of the kingdom.”
14阿摩司 对 亚玛谢 说：「我原不是先知，也不是先知的门徒。我是牧人，又是修理桑树的。
14“I was not a prophet,” Amos replied, “nor was I the son of a prophet; rather, I was a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees.
15耶和华选召我，使我不跟从羊群，对我说：『你去向我民 以色列 说预言。』
15But the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’
16亚玛谢 啊，现在你要听耶和华的话。你说：『不要向 以色列 说预言，也不要向 以撒 家滴下 预言 。』
16Now, therefore, hear the word of the LORD. You say: ‘Do not prophesy against Israel; do not preach against the house of Isaac.’
17所以耶和华如此说：『你的妻子必在城中作妓女；你的儿女必倒在刀下。你的地必有人用绳子量了分取；你自己必死在污秽之地。 以色列 民定被掳去离开本地。』」
17Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be divided by a measuring line, and you yourself will die on pagan soil. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”
