摩2

阿摩司書-Amos 第 2 章

2:1	耶和華如此說，因摩押三番四次的犯罪，我必不免去他的刑罰；因為他將以東王的骸骨焚燒成灰。 Thus says Jehovah, Because of three transgressions of Moab, Indeed, because of four, I will not turn away the punishment; Because he burned the bones Of the king of Edom into lime.
2:2	我卻要降火在摩押，燒滅加　的宮殿；摩押必在哄嚷、吶喊、角聲中死亡。 And I will send fire upon Moab, And it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; And Moab will die amid tumult, With shouting, with the sound of a trumpet.
2:3	我必剪除摩押中的審判者，將其中的一切首領，和他一同殺戮，這是耶和華說的。 And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it And will slay all its princes with him, Says Jehovah.
2:4	耶和華如此說，因猶大三番四次的犯罪，我必不免去他們的刑罰；因為他們厭棄耶和華的律法，不遵守祂的律例；他們列祖所隨從的虛假偶像使他們走迷了。 Thus says Jehovah, Because of three transgressions of Judah, Indeed, because of four, I will not turn away the punishment; Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah And have not kept His statutes; And their lies have caused them to err, The lies which their fathers walked after.
2:5	我卻要降火在猶大，燒滅耶路撒冷的宮殿。 And I will send fire upon Judah, And it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
2:6	耶和華如此說，因以色列三番四次的犯罪，我必不免去他們的刑罰；因他們為銀子賣了義人，為一雙鞋賣了窮人。 Thus says Jehovah, Because of three transgressions of Israel, Indeed, because of four, I will not turn away the punishment; Because they have sold the righteous for silver And the needy for a pair of sandals -
2:7	他們見窮人頭上所蒙的塵土也都垂涎，阻礙謙卑人的道路；父子同去親近一個少年女子，以致褻瀆我的聖名。 They who pant after the dust of the earth upon the heads of the poor, And turn aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father go in unto the same young woman, In order to profane My holy name.
2:8	他們在各壇旁鋪人所抵押的衣服，臥在其上；又在他們神的廟中，喝受罰之人的酒。 And upon garments taken as pledge they lay themselves down Beside every altar, And in the house of their God they drink The wine of those who have been fined.
2:9	我從以色列人面前除滅亞摩利人；他雖高大如香柏樹，堅固如橡樹，我卻毀壞其上的果子，滅絕其下的根本。 But I destroyed the Amorite before them, Whose height was like the height of the cedars, And he was as strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit from above And his roots from beneath.
2:10	我也將你們從埃及地領上來，在曠野引導你們四十年，使你們得亞摩利人之地為業。 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt And led you in the wilderness for forty years, To possess the land of the Amorites.
2:11	我從你們子孫中興起申言者，又從你們少年人中興起拿細耳人。以色列人哪，不是這樣麼？這是耶和華說的。 And I raised up some of your sons as prophets And some of your young men as Nazarites. Is it not indeed so, O children of Israel? Declares Jehovah.
2:12	你們卻給拿細耳人酒喝，囑咐申言者說，不要說預言。 But you made the Nazarites drink wine And commanded the prophets, saying, Do not prophesy.
2:13	看哪，我必壓你們，如同裝滿禾捆的車壓物一樣。 Indeed I will press on you, As a cart that is full of sheaves presses.
2:14	快跑的不能逃走，強壯的不能加力，剛勇的也不能救自己； And flight will perish from the swift, And the strong will not strengthen his force, Nor will the mighty deliver his soul;
2:15	拿弓的不能站立，腿快的不能逃脫，騎馬的也不能救自己。 And he who wields the bow will not stand, And he who is swift of foot will not deliver himself, And he who rides the horse will not deliver his soul.
2:16	到那日，勇士中最有膽量的，必赤身逃跑，這是耶和華說的。 And he who is stout-hearted among the mighty men Will flee away naked in that day, Declares Jehovah.
