阿摩司书 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
主欲降蝗灾火灾阿摩司祷求赦免
7 主耶和华指示我一件事:为王割菜[a]之后,菜又发生,刚发生的时候,主造蝗虫。 2 蝗虫吃尽那地的青物,我就说:“主耶和华啊,求你赦免!因为雅各微弱,他怎能站立得住呢?” 3 耶和华就后悔说:“这灾可以免了。”
耶和华允祈免灾
4 主耶和华又指示我一件事:他命火来惩罚以色列,火就吞灭深渊,险些将地烧灭。 5 我就说:“主耶和华啊,求你止息!因为雅各微弱,他怎能站立得住呢?” 6 耶和华就后悔说:“这灾也可免了。”
以准绳表以色列不复蒙赦宥
7 他又指示我一件事:有一道墙是按准绳建筑的,主手拿准绳站在其上。 8 耶和华对我说:“阿摩司啊,你看见什么?”我说:“看见准绳。”主说:“我要吊起准绳在我民以色列中,我必不再宽恕他们。 9 以撒的丘坛必然凄凉,以色列的圣所必然荒废。我必兴起,用刀攻击耶罗波安的家。”
祭司亚玛谢控阿摩司于以色列王
10 伯特利的祭司亚玛谢打发人到以色列王耶罗波安那里,说:“阿摩司在以色列家中图谋背叛你。他所说的一切话,这国担当不起。 11 因为阿摩司如此说:‘耶罗波安必被刀杀,以色列民定被掳去离开本地。’” 12 亚玛谢又对阿摩司说:“你这先见哪,要逃往犹大地去,在那里糊口,在那里说预言。 13 却不要在伯特利再说预言,因为这里有王的圣所,有王的宫殿。”
阿摩司自述其奉召做先知
14 阿摩司对亚玛谢说:“我原不是先知,也不是先知的门徒[b]。我是牧人,又是修理桑树的。 15 耶和华选召我,使我不跟从羊群,对我说:‘你去向我民以色列说预言。’
预言亚玛谢必受重罚
16 “亚玛谢啊,现在你要听耶和华的话!你说‘不要向以色列说预言,也不要向以撒家滴下预言’, 17 所以耶和华如此说:你的妻子必在城中做妓女,你的儿女必倒在刀下,你的地必有人用绳子量了分取,你自己必死在污秽之地,以色列民定被掳去离开本地。”

蝗灾的异象
7 主耶和华向我这样显示:看哪!替王收割之后,田产又开始生长时,主造出一群蝗虫。
2 蝗虫吃尽地上的农产时,我说:
“主耶和华啊!求你宽恕,
因雅各太弱小,
怎能站立得住呢?”
3 耶和华对这事改变心意,
耶和华说:“这事不会发生。”
火焰的异象
4 主耶和华向我这样显示:看哪!主耶和华召来刑罚的火,烧毁广大的深渊和以色列的地业。
5 因此我对主耶和华说:
“求你停止吧!
因雅各太弱小,怎能站立得住呢?”
6 耶和华对这事改变心意。
主耶和华说:“这事也不会发生。”
准绳的异象
7 他向我这样显示:看哪!主站在一道按准绳建造的墙旁边,手里拿着准绳。
8 耶和华对我说:“阿摩司,你看见甚么?”我回答:“我看见准绳。”主又说:“看哪!我把准绳放在我民以色列中间,必不再放过他们。
9 以撒的各邱坛必荒废,
以色列所有的圣所必废弃;
我必起来用刀击杀耶罗波安家。”
亚玛谢控告阿摩司
10 伯特利的祭司亚玛谢派人向以色列王耶罗波安报告:“阿摩司在以色列家中图谋背叛你,这国家不能容忍他说的话; 11 因为阿摩司这样说:
‘耶罗波安必死在刀下,
以色列必被掳,
离开本国。’”
12 亚玛谢对阿摩司说:“你这个先见,走吧!滚回犹大地去;在那里你可以找食,在那里你可以说预言。 13 但不要再在伯特利说预言,因为这里是王的圣所,是王国的圣殿。”
先知的见证与预言
14 阿摩司回答亚玛谢说:“我原不是先知,也不是先知的门徒;我本是牧人,是修理桑树的, 15 但耶和华选召我,叫我不再跟随羊群;他对我说:‘你去,向我民以色列说预言。’ 16 现在你要听耶和华的话;因为你说:
‘不要说预言攻击以色列,
不要说攻击以撒家的话。’
17 所以,耶和华这样说:
‘你妻子必在城中作妓女,你的儿女必倒在刀下;
你的土地必被人量度瓜分,你自己必死在不洁之地;
以色列必被掳,离开本国。’”
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:
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.
