King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
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, then I said, O Lord GOD , forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
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 repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD .
3耶和華就後悔說：「這災可以免了。」
4¶ Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
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。
5Then said I, O Lord GOD , cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
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 repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD .
6耶和華就後悔說：「這災也可免了。」
7¶ Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
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 unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any 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 Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise 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。」
10¶ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired 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 Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led 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。』」
12Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, 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 at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
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。」
14¶ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
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 as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto 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。』
16¶ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD : Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
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 be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his 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。』」
