阿摩司書 3

責備以色列人
3 「以色列人啊，
要聽耶和華責備你們的話，
責備我從埃及領出來的整個民族的話，
2 『世上萬族之中，我只揀選了你們，
所以我要因你們的罪惡而懲罰你們。』」
3 若非相約，
二人怎會同行呢？
4 若非捕到獵物，
獅子怎會在林中咆哮呢？
若非獵獲食物，
猛獅怎會在洞中吼叫呢？
5 若非設下誘餌，
鳥兒怎會陷入網羅呢？
若非有什麼陷進去，
網羅怎會收起來呢？
6 若城中響起號角，
居民豈不恐懼顫抖？
若災禍降臨城中，
豈不是耶和華的作為？
7 的確，主耶和華不向祂的僕人——眾先知顯明祂的計劃，
就不會採取任何行動。
8 獅子吼叫，誰不懼怕呢？
主耶和華已發言，誰能不傳講呢？
9 要向亞實突和埃及的城堡宣告：
「你們要聚集到撒瑪利亞的山上，
看看城中的混亂和暴虐之事。
10 他們不知正道，強取豪奪，
在他們的堡壘中積斂錢財。
這是耶和華說的。」
11 所以，主耶和華說：
「敵人要圍攻此地，
攻破他們的防守，
搶掠他們的城堡。」
12 耶和華說：
「牧人從獅口中救羊，
只能奪回兩條腿和一塊耳朵。
同樣，住在撒瑪利亞的以色列人被救回的時候，
也僅剩一片床榻和一角臥椅。」
13 主——萬軍之上帝耶和華說：
「你們要聽這話，去警告雅各家。
14 我追討以色列人的罪時，
要摧毀伯特利的祭壇，
將祭壇的角砍落在地。
15 我要拆毀過冬和避暑的房屋，
搗毀象牙裝飾的宮殿，
推倒許多宏偉的樓宇。
這是耶和華說的。」

Amos 3
American Standard Version
3 Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities. 3 Shall two walk together, except they have [a]agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? 5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is set for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all? 6 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8 The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
9 Publish ye [b]in the palaces at Ashdod, and [c]in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof. 10 For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 11 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary there shall be, even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered. 12 Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and [d]on the silken cushions of a bed.
13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts. 14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. 15 And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and [e]the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(A)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(B)
2 “You only have I chosen(C)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(D) you
for all your sins.(E)”
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(F) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(G)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(H) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(I) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(J) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(K)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(L)
to his servants the prophets.(M)
8 The lion(N) has roared(O)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(P)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(Q)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(R)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(S)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(T)
what they have plundered(U) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(V)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(W) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](X)”
13 “Hear this and testify(Y) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(Z) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(AA)
the horns(AB) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(AC)
along with the summer house;(AD)
the houses adorned with ivory(AE) will be destroyed
and the mansions(AF) will be demolished,(AG)”
declares the Lord.(AH)
