| 阿摩司書-Amos 第 7 章 |
| 7:1 | 主耶和華指給我看：在為王割草之後，春季作物剛開始生長時，主造了蝗蟲。 Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there He was, forming locusts in the beginning of the springing up of the spring crop; and it was the spring crop after the king's mowings. |
| 7:2 | 蝗蟲吃盡那地的青物，我就說，主耶和華阿，求你赦免！因為雅各微小，他怎能站立得住呢？ And when their eating of the herbage of the land was complete, I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small? |
| 7:3 | 耶和華就為此後悔：耶和華說，這災必不發生。 Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah. |
| 7:4 | 主耶和華又指給我看：主耶和華召來火的刑罰，火就吞滅深淵，燒滅那地。 Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there the Lord Jehovah was, calling to contend with them with fire; and it devoured the great deep, and it devoured the land. |
| 7:5 | 我就說，主耶和華阿，求你止息！因為雅各微小，他怎能站立得住呢？ Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, Stop, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small? |
| 7:6 | 耶和華就為此後悔：主耶和華說，這災也必不發生。 Jehovah repented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah. |
| 7:7 | 祂又指給我看：主站在一道按準繩築好的牆上，祂手中拿著準繩。 Thus He showed me, and there the Lord was, standing upon a perfectly plumbed wall; and in His hand was a plumb line. |
| 7:8 | 耶和華對我說，阿摩司阿，你看見什麼？我說，一條準繩。主說，我要安放準繩在我民以色列中；我必不再放過他們。 And Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, I am now setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass them by again any more. |
| 7:9 | 以撒的邱壇必然荒廢，以色列的聖所必成荒場；我必興起，用刀攻擊耶羅波安的家。 And the high places of Isaac will be desolated, And the sanctuaries of Israel will be made waste; And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a sword. |
| 7:10 | 伯特利的祭司亞瑪謝打發人到以色列王耶羅波安那裡，說，阿摩司在以色列家中，圖謀背叛你；他所說的一切話，這地擔當不起。 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to endure all his words. |
| 7:11 | 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。 For thus says Amos, By the sword Jeroboam will die, and Israel will surely go into captivity out from its land. |
| 7:12 | 亞瑪謝又對阿摩司說，你這先見哪，要逃往猶大地去，在那裡餬口，在那裡說預言； Then Amaziah said to Amos, Go, you seer; flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there; |
| 7:13 | 卻不要在伯特利再說預言，因為這裡是王的聖所，是王的宮殿。 But in Bethel you shall not ever prophesy again, for it is the king's sanc- tuary and it is the royal residence. |
| 7:14 | 阿摩司回答亞瑪謝說，我原不是申言者，也不是申言者的兒子；我是牧人，又是修剪桑樹的。 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; rather I am a herdsman and a dresser of sycamores. |
| 7:15 | 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。 And Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel. |
| 7:16 | 亞瑪謝阿，現在你要聽耶和華的話；你說，不要說預言攻擊以色列，也不要說話攻擊以撒家。 And now hear the word of Jehovah: You say, You shall not prophesy against Israel, nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac. |
| 7:17 | 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。 Therefore thus says Jehovah, Your wife will go about as a harlot in the city, And your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, And your land will be divided by the line, And you yourself will die in a land that is unclean; And Israel will indeed go into captivity Out from its land. |
