阿摩司书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
责备以色列人
3 “以色列人啊，
要听耶和华责备你们的话，
责备我从埃及领出来的整个民族的话，
2 ‘世上万族之中，我只拣选了你们，
所以我要因你们的罪恶而惩罚你们。’”
3 若非相约，
二人怎会同行呢？
4 若非捕到猎物，
狮子怎会在林中咆哮呢？
若非猎获食物，
猛狮怎会在洞中吼叫呢？
5 若非设下诱饵，
鸟儿怎会陷入网罗呢？
若非有什么陷进去，
网罗怎会收起来呢？
6 若城中响起号角，
居民岂不恐惧颤抖？
若灾祸降临城中，
岂不是耶和华的作为？
7 的确，主耶和华不向祂的仆人——众先知显明祂的计划，
就不会采取任何行动。
8 狮子吼叫，谁不惧怕呢？
主耶和华已发言，谁能不传讲呢？
9 要向亚实突和埃及的城堡宣告：
“你们要聚集到撒玛利亚的山上，
看看城中的混乱和暴虐之事。
10 他们不知正道，强取豪夺，
在他们的堡垒中积敛钱财。
这是耶和华说的。”
11 所以，主耶和华说：
“敌人要围攻此地，
攻破他们的防守，
抢掠他们的城堡。”
12 耶和华说：
“牧人从狮口中救羊，
只能夺回两条腿和一块耳朵。
同样，住在撒玛利亚的以色列人被救回的时候，
也仅剩一片床榻和一角卧椅。”
13 主——万军之上帝耶和华说：
“你们要听这话，去警告雅各家。
14 我追讨以色列人的罪时，
要摧毁伯特利的祭坛，
将祭坛的角砍落在地。
15 我要拆毁过冬和避暑的房屋，
捣毁象牙装饰的宫殿，
推倒许多宏伟的楼宇。
这是耶和华说的。”
阿摩司書 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
3 以色列人哪，當聽耶和華責備你們的話，責備我從埃及地領上來的全家，說：
2 「在地上萬族中，我只認識你們；
因此，我必懲罰你們一切的罪孽。」
先知的任務
3 二人若不同心，
豈能同行呢？
4 獅子若無獵物，
豈會在林中咆哮呢？
少壯獅子若無所得，
豈會從洞裏吼叫呢？
5 若未設圈套，
雀鳥豈能陷入地上的羅網呢？
羅網若無所得，
豈會從地上翻起呢？
6 城中若吹角，
百姓豈不戰兢嗎？
災禍若臨到一城，
豈非耶和華所降的嗎？
7 主耶和華不會做任何事情，
除非先將奧祕指示他的僕人眾先知。
8 獅子吼叫，誰不懼怕呢？
主耶和華既已說了，誰能不說預言呢？
撒瑪利亞的結局
9 你們要在亞實突的宮殿
和埃及地的宮殿傳揚，說：
「要聚集在撒瑪利亞的山上，
看城裏有何等大的擾亂與欺壓。」
10 「他們以暴力搶奪，
堆積在自己的宮殿裏，
卻不懂得行正直的事。」
這是耶和華說的。
11 所以主耶和華如此說：
「敵人必來圍攻這地，
削弱你的勢力，
搶掠你的宮殿。」
12 耶和華如此說：「牧人怎樣從獅子口中搶回兩條腿或耳朵的一小片，住撒瑪利亞的以色列人得救也是如此，不過搶回床的一角和床榻的靠枕[a]而已。」
13 主耶和華—萬軍之 神說：
「當聽這話，警戒雅各家。
14 我懲罰以色列罪孽的日子，
也要懲罰伯特利的祭壇；
祭壇的角必被砍下，墜落於地。
15 我要拆毀過冬和避暑的房屋，
象牙的房屋必毀滅，
廣廈豪宅都歸無有。」
這是耶和華說的。

Amos 3
New King James Version
Authority of the Prophet’s Message
3 Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
2 “You(A) only have I known of all the families of the earth;
(B)Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?
Will a young lion [a]cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no [b]trap for it?
Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?
6 If a [c]trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid?
(C)If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?
7 Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless (D)He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
8 A lion has roared!
Who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken!
(E)Who can but prophesy?
Punishment of Israel’s Sins
9 “Proclaim in the palaces at [d]Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the [e]oppressed within her.
10 For they (F)do not know to do right,’
Says the Lord,
‘Who store up violence and [f]robbery in their palaces.’ ”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord:
“As a shepherd [g]takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and [h]on the edge of a couch!
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 “That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,
I will also visit destruction on the altars of (G)Bethel;
And the horns of the altar shall be cut off
And fall to the ground.
15 I will [i]destroy (H)the winter house along with (I)the summer house;
The (J)houses of ivory shall perish,
And the great houses shall have an end,”
Says the Lord.
