Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.
1主耶和華指示我一件事：為王割菜之後，菜又發生；剛發生的時候，主造蝗蟲。
2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?
2蝗蟲吃盡那地的青物，我就說：「主耶和華啊，求你赦免；因為 雅各 微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？」
3The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.
3耶和華就後悔說：「這災可以免了。」
4These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.
4主耶和華又指示我一件事：他命火來懲罰 以色列 ，火就吞滅深淵，險些將地燒滅。
5And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?
5我就說：「主耶和華啊，求你止息；因為 雅各 微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？」
6The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.
6耶和華就後悔說：「這災也可免了。」
7These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason’s trowel.
7他又指示我一件事：有一道牆是按準繩建築的，主手拿準繩站在其上。
8And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.
8耶和華對我說：「 阿摩司 啊，你看見甚麼？」我說：「看見準繩。」主說：「我要吊起準繩在我民 以色列 中，我必不再寬恕他們。
9And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
9以撒 的邱壇必然淒涼； 以色列 的聖所必然荒廢。我必興起，用刀攻擊 耶羅波安 的家。」
10And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
10伯特利 的祭司 亞瑪謝 打發人到 以色列 王 耶羅波安 那裏，說：「 阿摩司 在 以色列 家中圖謀背叛你；他所說的一切話，這國擔當不起；
11For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away captive out of their own land.
11因為 阿摩司 如此說：『 耶羅波安 必被刀殺； 以色列 民定被擄去離開本地。』」
12And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
12亞瑪謝 又對 阿摩司 說：「你這先見哪，要逃往 猶大 地去，在那裏糊口，在那裏說預言，
13But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.
13卻不要在 伯特利 再說預言；因為這裏有王的聖所，有王的宮殿。」
14And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.
14阿摩司 對 亞瑪謝 說：「我原不是先知，也不是先知的門徒。我是牧人，又是修理桑樹的。
15And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
15耶和華選召我，使我不跟從羊群，對我說：『你去向我民 以色列 說預言。』
16And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.
16亞瑪謝 啊，現在你要聽耶和華的話。你說：『不要向 以色列 說預言，也不要向 以撒 家滴下 預言 。』
17Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.
17所以耶和華如此說：『你的妻子必在城中作妓女；你的兒女必倒在刀下。你的地必有人用繩子量了分取；你自己必死在污穢之地。 以色列 民定被擄去離開本地。』」
