阿摩司书 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
各种灾祸的异象
7 以下是主耶和华让我看见的异象:看啊,祂造了一大群蝗虫。那时,王室的作物已经收割,第二季作物刚开始发苗。 2 蝗虫吃尽地上的青苗时,我说:“主耶和华啊,求你赦免!雅各那么弱小,他怎么受得了呢?” 3 于是,耶和华心生怜悯,说:“我不降这灾了。”
4 以下是主耶和华让我看见的异象:看啊,主耶和华降下审判的大火。大火烧干了深海,正在吞噬土地。 5 那时,我说:“主耶和华啊,求你停止吧!雅各那么弱小,他怎么受得了呢?” 6 于是,耶和华心生怜悯,说:“我也不降这灾了。”
7 以下是祂让我看见的异象:看啊,主站在一道按照准绳建造的墙边,手里拿着准绳。 8 耶和华对我说:“阿摩司,你看见什么?”我答道:“一条准绳。”主说:“我要在我的以色列子民中吊起准绳,量度他们,我不会再饶恕他们。 9 以撒子孙的丘坛必遭毁坏,以色列的庙宇必成废墟,我要用刀攻击耶罗波安王朝。”
阿摩司被逐
10 伯特利的祭司亚玛谢派人告诉以色列王耶罗波安:“阿摩司在以色列家图谋背叛你,我们国家无法容忍他的言论。 11 因为阿摩司这样说,‘耶罗波安将丧身刀下,以色列人必被掳去,远离家乡。’”
12 亚玛谢对我说:“先见啊,走吧!逃回犹大去吧!你要在那里挣吃的,在那里说预言。 13 不可再在伯特利说预言,这里是王的圣所,是国庙。”
14 我答道:“我本不是先知,也不是先知的门徒。我只是一个牧人,也替人看护桑树。 15 但耶和华不再让我看守羊群,祂对我说,‘去!向我的以色列子民说预言。’ 16 亚玛谢啊,你说,‘不要说攻击以色列的预言,不要传讲攻击以撒子孙的信息。’现在你要听耶和华对你说的话。 17 耶和华说,‘你的妻子必在这城里沦为妓女,你的儿女必丧身刀下,你的田地必被人丈量、瓜分,你自己必死在异乡[a]。以色列人必被掳去,远离家乡。’”

Amos 7
New International Version
Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line
7 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(A) He was preparing swarms of locusts(B) after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean,(C) I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?(D) He is so small!(E)”
3 So the Lord relented.(F)
“This will not happen,” the Lord said.(G)
4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire;(H) it dried up the great deep and devoured(I) the land. 5 Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!(J)”
6 So the Lord relented.(K)
“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.(L)
7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,[a] with a plumb line[b] in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(M) Amos?(N)”
“A plumb line,(O)” I replied.
Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(P)
9 “The high places(Q) of Isaac will be destroyed
and the sanctuaries(R) of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam.(S)”
Amos and Amaziah
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel(T) sent a message to Jeroboam(U) king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy(V) against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.(W) 11 For this is what Amos is saying:
“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,(X)
away from their native land.’”(Y)
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(Z) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(AA) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(AB) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(AC) of the kingdom.(AD)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(AE) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(AF) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(AG) and said to me, ‘Go,(AH) prophesy(AI) to my people Israel.’(AJ) 16 Now then, hear(AK) the word of the Lord. You say,
“‘Do not prophesy against(AL) Israel,
and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
Amós 7
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Tres visiones
7 El Señor omnipotente me mostró esta visión: Empezaba a crecer la hierba después de la siega que corresponde al rey, y vi al Señor preparando enjambres de langostas. 2 Cuando las langostas acababan con la hierba de la tierra, exclamé:
―¡Señor mi Dios, te ruego que perdones a Jacob! ¿Cómo va a sobrevivir, si es tan pequeño?
3 Entonces el Señor se compadeció y dijo:
―Esto no va a suceder.
4 El Señor omnipotente me mostró entonces otra visión: Vi al Señor llamar a juicio con un fuego que devoraba el gran abismo y consumía los campos. 5 Y exclamé:
―¡Detente, Señor mi Dios, te lo ruego! ¿Cómo sobrevivirá Jacob, si es tan pequeño?
6 Entonces el Señor se compadeció y dijo:
―Esto tampoco va a suceder.
7 El Señor me mostró otra visión: Estaba él de pie junto a un muro construido a plomo, y tenía una cuerda de plomada en la mano. 8 Y el Señor me preguntó:
―¿Qué ves, Amós?
―Una cuerda de plomada —respondí.
Entonces el Señor dijo:
―Mira, voy a tirar la plomada en medio de mi pueblo Israel; no volveré a perdonarlo.
9 »Los altares paganos de Isaac serán destruidos,
y arruinados los santuarios de Israel;
me levantaré con espada
contra el palacio de Jeroboán».
Amasías contra Amós
10 Entonces Amasías, sacerdote de Betel, envió un mensaje a Jeroboán rey de Israel: «Amós está conspirando contra ti en medio de Israel. El país ya no aguanta tanta palabrería de Amós, 11 porque anda diciendo:
»“Jeroboán morirá a espada,
e Israel será llevado cautivo
lejos de su tierra”».
12 Entonces Amasías le dijo a Amós:
―¡Largo de aquí, vidente! ¡Si quieres ganarte el pan profetizando, vete a la tierra de Judá! 13 No vuelvas a profetizar en Betel, porque este es el santuario del rey; es el templo del reino.
14 Amós le respondió a Amasías:
―Yo no soy profeta ni hijo de profeta, sino que cuido ovejas y cultivo higueras. 15 Pero el Señor me sacó de detrás del rebaño y me dijo: “Ve y profetiza a mi pueblo Israel”. 16 Así que oye la palabra del Señor. Tú dices:
»“No profetices contra Israel;
deja de predicar contra los descendientes de Isaac”.
17 »Por eso, así dice el Señor:
»“Tu esposa se prostituirá en la ciudad,
y tus hijos y tus hijas caerán a espada.
Tu tierra será medida y repartida,
y tú mismo morirás en un país pagano.
E Israel será llevado cautivo
lejos de su tierra”».
Amos 7
King James Version
7 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
