阿摩司書第5章 |
|
1 先知曰，以色列族乎，我爲爾作哀歌，尚其聽之哉。 |
|
2 以色列族之處女，一蹶不能復起，仆於斯土，無人扶翼。 |
|
3 主耶和華曰，以色列邑民昔出卒千人，今不過百人，昔出卒百人，今不過十人， |
|
4 耶和華告以色族云，求我則得生， |
|
5 毋求伯特利毋往吉甲，毋至別是巴。蓋吉甲人必見遷移，伯特利必歸烏有， |
|
6 惟求我耶和華則可得生，否，我必蒞臨約瑟家，如火炎炎，焚燬四境，凡在伯特利者，不得撲滅， |
|
7 爾不秉公，不行義，反使人茹荼飲酖， |
|
8 今當求我，我造昴參諸宿，變陰翳爲光明，轉白晝爲昏夜，使海水氾濫於地，我名耶和華。 |
|
9 我剪滅有能之輩，毀其城垣，若光激射， |
|
10 凡在公庭，正言讒論，督責人者，爲人所憾， |
|
11 爾蹂躪貧乏，橫征麥稅，雖以彫石建廣廈，不得居其中，雖以葡萄栽嘉園，不得飲其酒， |
|
12 我知爾罪戾繁多，愆尤滋大，困逼義人，而受賄賂，在彼公庭，枉法害貧， |
|
13 斯時遭難，智者緘口， |
|
14 爾當遷善避惡，則可得生，萬有之主耶和華祐爾，以應爾所言， |
|
15 惡惡好善，在彼公庭，秉諸公義，庶幾萬有之主耶和華，矜憫約瑟之遺民。 |
|
16 萬有之主耶和華上帝曰，在逵衢，人必椎心，在陋巷，人必哀乎，使農夫哭泣，使善作哀歌著椎心， |
|
17 蓋我遍行通國，使在葡萄園中，無不哀哭，我耶和華已言之矣。 |
|
18 我耶和華之日，其象若何，幽暗無光，爾曹欲其速至，禍不遠矣。 |
|
19 譬諸人避獅而遇熊，入室附壁，爲蛇所嚙， |
|
20 耶和華之日，豈能陰翳，絕少光明，幽深玄遠，毫不明徹， |
|
21 爾設節期，我所深憾，爾立大會，我甚不悅， |
|
22 雖獻燔祭禮物，我不悅納，雖供肥犢爲酬恩之祭，我不眷顧， |
|
23 謳歌之聲，撤於我前，琴瑟之音，我不欲聞， |
|
24 宜行公平，有如川流，當爲仁義，淂若淵泉。 |
|
25 以色列族乎，爾在曠野，凡歷四十年，非以牲牷祭品，奉獻於我哉， |
|
26 何爾又肩摩落之龕，作基文之像，爾上帝之星，而崇拜之乎， |
|
27 我將徙爾於大馬色外，我萬有之主耶和華已言之矣。 |
AmosChapter 5 |
|
1 HEAR this word which I take up concerning you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel: |
|
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise; she is left lying on the ground, there is none to raise her up. |
|
3 For thus says the LORD God: The city out of which went forth a thousand men, there shall be left in it a hundred men; and that out of which went forth a hundred men, there shall be left in it ten men to the house of Israel. |
|
4 For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: Seek me and you shall live; |
|
5 But do not seek Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity and Beth-el shall come to nought. |
|
6 Seek the LORD and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph and devour Beth-el, and there will be none to quench it. |
|
7 You who turn justice into bitterness, and lower righteousness to the ground, |
|
8 They have forsaken him who made Pleiades and Orion, and who turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark into night; who calls the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth; the LORD is his name; |
|
9 Who makes the weak to rule over the mighty, and exalts the meek over the proud. |
|
10 They hate the poor at the gates, and they abhor him who speaks uprightly. |
|
11 Therefore because you have beaten on the head of the poor and have taken from him the choicest gifts; the houses of hewn stone which you have built, you shall not dwell in; and from the pleasant vineyards which you have planted, you shall not drink wine. |
|
12 For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great; you oppress the just, you take a bribe, and you turn aside the cause of the poor in the gate from their right. |
|
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. |
|
14 Seek good and not evil that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken. |
|
15 Hate the evil and love the good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. |
|
16 Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts: In all streets there shall be wailing; and in all broad places they shall say, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmers to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing. |
|
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you, says the LORD. |
|
18 Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? The day of the LORD? For it is a day of darkness and not light. |
|
19 As when a man fled from a lion and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall and a serpent bit him. |
|
20 Such is the day of the LORD; it is darkness and not light; yea, it is a day of thick darkness and no brightness is in it. |
|
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell the savor of your solemn assemblies. |
|
22 Though you offer me your burnt offerings and your meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. |
|
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your harps. |
|
24 But let justice run down like waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. |
|
25 Did you offer to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? |
|
26 But you carried the tabernacle of Malcom and Chiun your idol, the star which you made a god to yourselves. |
|
27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD whose name is the God of hosts. |
