懲罰摩押

“耶和華這樣說:

‘摩押三番四次犯罪,

我必不收回懲罰他的命令;

因為他把以東王的骸骨焚燒成灰。

我必降火在摩押,

燒毀加略的堡壘;

在擾攘、吶喊、吹角聲中,

摩押必被消滅。

我必剪除他的掌權者,

也把他所有的領袖一同殺死。’

這是耶和華說的。

懲罰猶大

“耶和華這樣說:

‘猶大三番四次犯罪,

我必不收回懲罰他的命令;

因為他棄絕耶和華的律法,

不遵守他的典章;

反被他們列祖跟從的偶像,

使他們走錯了路。

我必降火在猶大,

燒毀耶路撒冷的堡壘。’

懲罰以色列

“耶和華這樣說:

‘以色列三番四次犯罪,

我必不收回懲罰他的命令;

因為他為了銀子賣義人,

為了一雙鞋賣窮人。

他們踐踏窮人的頭,

好像踐踏地面的塵土;

他們把困苦人應有的權益奪去;

兒子和父親與同一個女子親近,

故意褻瀆我的聖名。

他們在各祭壇旁,

躺臥在別人抵押的衣服上面;

在他們 神的殿中,

飲用拿剝削回來的錢所買的酒。

我不是在他們面前把亞摩利人消滅了嗎?

亞摩利人雖像香柏樹高大,

像橡樹那樣堅固;

我卻要滅絕它樹上的果子,

拔除樹下的根。

10 我不是帶你們出埃及地,

領你們在曠野度過四十年,

叫你們得著亞摩利人的地為業嗎?

11 我從你們子孫中興起先知,

從年輕人中興起拿細耳人;

以色列人哪!這不是事實嗎?’

這是耶和華的宣告。

12 ‘但你們迫使拿細耳人喝酒,

吩咐先知說:不要說預言。

13 看哪!我要使你腳下的地搖蕩,

好像滿載禾捆的車子搖蕩一樣。

14 行動迅速的不能逃走,

強而有力的不能施展他的勇力,

勇士也不能救自己;

15 拿弓的人站立不住,

跑得快的不能逃走,

騎馬的也不能救自己。

16 到那日,最勇敢的戰士,

也是赤身逃跑。’

這是耶和華的宣告。”

对摩押的审判

耶和华说:
“摩押人三番四次地犯罪,
我必不收回对他们的惩罚,
因为他们把以东王的骸骨焚烧成灰。
所以我要降火在摩押,
烧毁加略的城堡。
摩押要在战争的喧嚣、吶喊和号角声中灭亡。
我要铲除摩押的君王,
杀死那里所有的首领。
这是耶和华说的。”

对犹大的审判

耶和华说:
“犹大人三番四次地犯罪,
我必不收回对他们的惩罚,
因为他们厌弃耶和华的训诲,
不遵守我的律例。
他们祖先祭拜的偶像使他们走入歧途。
所以我要降火在犹大,
烧毁耶路撒冷的城堡。”

对以色列的审判

耶和华说:
“以色列人三番四次地犯罪,
我必不收回对他们的惩罚,
因为他们为了银子卖掉义人,
为了一双鞋子卖掉穷人。
他们践踏穷人如同践踏地上的尘土,
使卑微的人无处申冤;
父子同淫一女,亵渎我的圣名。
在每座祭坛旁边,
他们把穷人典当的衣服铺开,躺在上面,
又在上帝的殿里喝剥削来的酒。

“以色列人啊,
我在你们面前消灭了亚摩利人。
虽然他们像香柏树那样高大,
如橡树那样强壮,
但我灭尽了他们的果子,
砍断了他们的根。
10 我带领你们离开埃及,
在旷野引导你们四十年,
使你们得到亚摩利人的土地。
11 我从你们的子孙中拣选先知,
从你们的青年中拣选拿细耳人[a]
以色列人啊,难道不是这样吗?
这是耶和华说的。
12 可是,你们迫使拿细耳人喝酒,
禁止先知传达我的话。
13 看啊,我要压碎你们,
如满载谷物的车轧过一样。
14 快捷的无法逃遁,
强壮的无力可施,
勇猛的救不了自己,
15 拉弓的站立不住,
腿快的无法逃脱,
骑马的救不了自己。
16 到那日,
最勇猛的战士也要丢盔弃甲,仓皇逃命。
这是耶和华说的。

  1. 2:11 拿细耳人的详情参见民数记6:1-8

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Moab,(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(B)
    the bones of Edom’s king,
I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[a](C)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(D) and the blast of the trumpet.(E)
I will destroy her ruler(F)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(G)
says the Lord.(H)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah,(I)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(J) of the Lord
    and have not kept his decrees,(K)
because they have been led astray(L) by false gods,[b](M)
    the gods[c] their ancestors followed,(N)
I will send fire(O) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses(P) of Jerusalem.(Q)

Judgment on Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Israel,
    even for four, I will not relent.(R)
They sell the innocent for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals.(S)
They trample on the heads of the poor
    as on the dust of the ground
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
    and so profane my holy name.(T)
They lie down beside every altar
    on garments taken in pledge.(U)
In the house of their god
    they drink wine(V) taken as fines.(W)

“Yet I destroyed the Amorites(X) before them,
    though they were tall(Y) as the cedars
    and strong as the oaks.(Z)
I destroyed their fruit above
    and their roots(AA) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(AB)
    and led(AC) you forty years in the wilderness(AD)
    to give you the land of the Amorites.(AE)

11 “I also raised up prophets(AF) from among your children
    and Nazirites(AG) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine
    and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(AH)

13 “Now then, I will crush you
    as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(AI)
14 The swift will not escape,(AJ)
    the strong(AK) will not muster their strength,
    and the warrior will not save his life.(AL)
15 The archer(AM) will not stand his ground,
    the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
    and the horseman(AN) will not save his life.(AO)
16 Even the bravest warriors(AP)
    will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.

  1. Amos 2:2 Or of her cities
  2. Amos 2:4 Or by lies
  3. Amos 2:4 Or lies

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Moab,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because he burned to lime
    the bones of the king of Edom.
So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ker′ioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will slay all its princes with him,”
                says the Lord.

Judgment on Judah

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Judah,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[b]
because they have rejected the law of the Lord,
    and have not kept his statutes,
but their lies have led them astray,
    after which their fathers walked.
So I will send a fire upon Judah,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Israel,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[c]
because they sell the righteous for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of shoes—
they that trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth,
    and turn aside the way of the afflicted;
a man and his father go in to the same maiden,
    so that my holy name is profaned;
they lay themselves down beside every altar
    upon garments taken in pledge;
and in the house of their God they drink
    the wine of those who have been fined.

“Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
    whose height was like the height of the cedars,
    and who was as strong as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above,
    and his roots beneath.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
    and led you forty years in the wilderness,
    to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
    and some of your young men for Nazirites.
    Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”
                says the Lord.

12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
    and commanded the prophets,
    saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
    as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 Flight shall perish from the swift,
    and the strong shall not retain his strength,
    nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
    and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself,
    nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
    shall flee away naked in that day,”
                says the Lord.
