阿摩司书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
欺贫重富必受惩罚
4 撒玛利亚山上的巴珊母牛啊!要听这话;
你们欺负贫穷人,压迫穷苦人,
又对自己的丈夫说:“拿酒来,给我们饮用。”
2 主耶和华指着自己的圣洁起誓:
“看哪!对付你们的日子快到,
人必用钩子把你们钩走,
最后一个也必被人用鱼钩钩去。
3 你们一个一个经过城墙的破口出去,
被丢弃在哈门。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
向偶像献祭的罪
4 “你们去伯特利犯罪,
在吉甲增加过犯吧!
每早献上你们的祭物,
每三日献上你们的十分之一吧!
5 以色列人哪!把有酵的饼作感谢祭献上,
高声宣扬你们自愿献的祭吧!
这原是你们喜爱行的。”
这是主耶和华的宣告。
受重罚仍不悔改
6 “虽然我使你们各城的人牙齿干净,
各处都缺乏粮食;
但你们仍不归向我。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
7 “我曾在收割前三个月,
不降雨给你们;
我降雨给一个城,
在另一个城却不降雨;
我在一块地降雨,
另一块地没有雨水就枯干了。
8 两三个城的居民挤到一个城去找水喝,
却没有足够的水喝;
但你们仍不归向我。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
9 “我曾多次用热风和霉烂击打你们的园子和葡萄园,
叫蝗虫吃光你们的无花果树和橄榄树;
但你们仍不归向我。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
10 “我在你们中间降下瘟疫,
正如临到埃及的瘟疫一样;
我用刀杀掉你们的年轻人,
你们被掳去的马匹也遭杀戮;
我使你们营里死尸的臭气扑鼻,
但你们仍不归向我。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
11 “我倾覆你们,
就像倾覆所多玛和蛾摩拉一样;
你们像一根木柴,
从火里抽出来;
但你们仍不归向我。”
这是耶和华的宣告。
12 “因此,以色列啊!我必这样对付你。
以色列啊!因我必这样对付你,
你应当预备迎见你的 神。”
13 看哪!他造了山,创造了风,
把他的心意告诉人;
他使晨光变为黑暗,
他的脚踏在地的高处,
耶和华万军的 神就是他的名。
阿摩司书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
4 住在撒玛利亚山上的巴珊肥母牛啊,
你们要听!
你们压榨贫寒人,欺凌穷苦人,
又使唤丈夫倒酒畅饮。
2 因此,主耶和华凭祂的圣洁起誓:
“时候快到了,
有人要用鱼钩钩走你们,一个也不留。
3 你们都要从城墙缺口走出来,
被丢到哈门。
这是耶和华说的。
4 “以色列人啊,
你们去伯特利犯罪吧,
去吉甲增添罪恶吧!
要每天早晨献上祭物,
每三天奉上你们的十分之一。
5 你们献上带酵的饼作感恩祭,
并且到处夸耀你们自愿献的祭。
以色列人啊,这就是你们爱做的事。
这是主耶和华说的。
6 “我在各城降下饥荒,
使你们遍地缺粮。
尽管如此,你们仍不归向我。
这是耶和华说的。
7 “我在收割前三个月停止降雨。
我在一座城降雨,
在另一座城不降雨;
我使一块田有雨水的滋润,
另一块田因无雨而干裂。
8 两三座城的人都踉踉跄跄地涌到一座城找水喝,
水却不够喝。
尽管如此,你们仍不归向我。
这是耶和华说的。
9 “我用热风和霉灾击打你们,
叫蝗虫吞噬你们田园中的菜蔬、葡萄树、无花果树和橄榄树。
尽管如此,你们仍不归向我。
这是耶和华说的。
10 “我在你们中间降下瘟疫,
如从前降在埃及一样。
我杀戮你们的青年,
掳掠你们的战马,
使你们军营中的死尸臭味扑鼻。
尽管如此,你们仍不归向我。
这是耶和华说的。
11 “我在你们中间施行毁灭,
如从前毁灭所多玛和蛾摩拉一样,
使你们像从火里抽出的一根柴。
尽管如此,你们仍不归向我。
这是耶和华说的。
12 “以色列人啊,
我要这样惩罚你们。
以色列人啊,
准备迎见你们的上帝吧!
因为我要这样惩罚你们。”
13 看啊,那位造山又造风,
向人显明祂的心意,
将黎明变为黑暗,
将群山踩在脚下的——
祂的名字是万军之上帝耶和华。
Amos 4
New International Version
Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(A) on Mount Samaria,(B)
you women who oppress the poor(C) and crush the needy(D)
and say to your husbands,(E) “Bring us some drinks!(F)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(G) will surely come
when you will be taken away(H) with hooks,(I)
the last of you with fishhooks.[a]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(J)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[b]”
declares the Lord.
4 “Go to Bethel(K) and sin;
go to Gilgal(L) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(M)
your tithes(N) every three years.[c](O)
5 Burn leavened bread(P) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(Q)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(R)
7 “I also withheld(S) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(T)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(U)
but did not get enough(V) to drink,
yet you have not returned(W) to me,”
declares the Lord.(X)
9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
destroying them with blight and mildew.(Y)
Locusts(Z) devoured your fig and olive trees,(AA)
yet you have not returned(AB) to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent plagues(AC) among you
as I did to Egypt.(AD)
I killed your young men(AE) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(AF) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(AG)
declares the Lord.(AH)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(AI)
You were like a burning stick(AJ) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(AK)
12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”
Amos 4

Yet You Have Not Returned to Me
4 Hear this word, you cows of (A)Bashan who are on the (B)mountain of Samaria,
Who (C)oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
Who say to their [a]husbands, “Bring now, that we may (D)drink!”
2 Lord Yahweh has (E)sworn by His (F)holiness that,
“Behold, the days are coming upon you,
And [b]they will take you away with (G)meat hooks,
And the last of you with (H)fish hooks.
3 And you will (I)go out through breaches in the walls,
Each one straight before her,
And you [c]will be cast to Harmon,” declares Yahweh.
4 “Enter Bethel and transgress;
In Gilgal multiply transgression!
(J)Bring your sacrifices every morning,
Your tithes every three days.
5 [d]And offer a (K)thank offering also from that which is leavened,
And call for (L)freewill offerings; cause them to be heard about.
For so you (M)love to do, you sons of Israel,”
Declares Lord Yahweh.
6 “But I gave you also (N)cleanness of teeth in all your cities
And lack of bread in all your places,
Yet you have (O)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
7 “And I also (P)withheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city,
And on (Q)another city I would not send rain;
One portion would be rained on,
While the portion not rained on would dry up.
8 So two or three cities would wander around to another city to drink (R)water,
But would (S)not be satisfied;
Yet you have (T)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
9 “I (U)struck you with scorching wind and mildew;
And the (V)gnawing locust was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees;
Yet you have (W)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
10 “I sent a (X)pestilence among you after the manner of Egypt;
I (Y)killed your choice men by the sword along with your (Z)captured horses,
And I made the (AA)stench of your camp rise up even in your nostrils;
Yet you have (AB)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
11 “I overthrew you as (AC)God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a (AD)firebrand [e]delivered from a blaze;
Yet you have (AE)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
Prepare to (AF)meet your God, O Israel.”
13 For behold, He who (AG)forms mountains and (AH)creates the wind
And (AI)declares to man what are His thoughts,
He who (AJ)makes dawn into gloom
And (AK)treads on the high places of the earth,
(AL)Yahweh God of hosts is His name.
