阿摩司书 5
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
呼吁以色列人悔改
5 以色列家啊，听我为你们所作的哀歌：
2 “以色列民[a]跌倒，不得再起；
躺在地上，无人扶起。”
3 主耶和华如此说：
“以色列家的城派出一千，只剩一百；
派出一百，只剩十个。”
4 耶和华向以色列家如此说：
“你们要寻求我，就必存活。
5 不要往伯特利寻求，
不要进入吉甲，
也不要过到别是巴；
因为吉甲必被掳走，
伯特利必归无有。”
6 要寻求耶和华，就必存活，
免得他在约瑟家如火发出，
焚烧伯特利[b]，无人扑灭。
7 你们这使公平变为茵陈，
将公义丢弃于地的人哪！
8 那造昴星和参星，
使死荫变为晨光，
使白昼变为黑夜，
召唤海水、
使其倾倒在地面上的，
耶和华是他的名。
9 他快速摧毁强壮的人，
毁灭就临到堡垒。
10 你们怨恨那在城门口断是非的，
憎恶那说正直话的。
11 所以，因你们践踏贫寒人，
向他们勒索粮税；
你们虽建造石凿的房屋，
却不得住在其内；
虽栽植美好的葡萄园，
却不得喝其中所出的酒。
12 我知道你们的罪过何其多，
你们的罪恶何其大；
你们迫害义人，收受贿赂，
在城门口屈枉贫穷人。
13 所以智慧人在这样的时候必静默不言，
因为这是险恶的时候。
14 你们要寻求良善，
不要寻求邪恶，就必存活。
这样，耶和华—万军之 神
必照你们所说的与你们同在。
15 要恨恶邪恶，喜爱良善，
在城门口秉公行义；
或者耶和华—万军之 神
会施恩给约瑟的余民。
16 因此，主耶和华—万军之 神如此说：
“在一切的广场上必有哀号的声音；
在各街市上必有人说：
‘哀哉！哀哉！’
他们叫农夫来哭号，
叫善唱哀歌的来举哀；
17 各葡萄园都有哀号的声音，
因为我必从你中间经过。”
这是耶和华说的。
18 想望耶和华日子的人有祸了！
为什么你们要耶和华的日子呢？
那是黑暗没有光明的日子，
19 好像人躲避狮子却遇见熊；
进房屋以手靠墙，却被蛇咬。
20 耶和华的日子岂不是黑暗没有光明，
幽暗毫无光辉吗？
21 “我厌恶你们的节期，
也不喜悦你们的严肃会。
22 你们虽然向我献燔祭和素祭，
我却不悦纳，
也不看你们用肥畜献的平安祭。
23 要使你们歌唱的声音远离我，
因为我不听你们琴瑟的乐曲。
24 惟愿公平如大水滚滚，
公义如江河滔滔。
25 “以色列家啊，你们在旷野四十年，何尝将祭物和供物献给我呢？ 26 你们抬着你们的撒古特君王[c]，和你们为自己所造之偶像迦温—你们的神明之星。 27 所以我要把你们掳到大马士革以外。”这是耶和华说的，他的名为万军之 神。
Amos 5
New King James Version
A Lament for Israel
5 Hear this word which I (A)take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
A Call to Repentance
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
(B)“Seek Me (C)and live;
5 But do not seek (D)Bethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to (E)Beersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And (F)Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 (G)Seek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
7 You who (H)turn justice to wormwood,
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”
8 He made the (I)Pleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
(J)And makes the day dark as night;
He (K)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
(L)The Lord is His name.
9 He [a]rains ruin upon the strong,
So that fury comes upon the fortress.
10 (M)They hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
And they (N)abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
11 (O)Therefore, because you [b]tread down the poor
And take grain [c]taxes from him,
Though (P)you have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted [d]pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
12 For I (Q)know your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
(R)Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
(S)Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
13 Therefore (T)the prudent keep silent at that time,
For it is an evil time.
14 Seek good and not evil,
That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
(U)As you have spoken.
15 (V)Hate evil, love good;
Establish justice in the gate.
(W)It may be that the Lord God of hosts
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
The Day of the Lord
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this:
“There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
(X)And skillful lamenters to wailing.
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
For (Y)I will pass through you,”
Says the Lord.
18 (Z)Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is (AA)the day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.
19 It will be (AB)as though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
21 “I(AC) hate, I despise your feast days,
And (AD)I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
22 (AE)Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
24 (AF)But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 “Did(AG) you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 You also carried [e]Sikkuth[f] (AH)your king
And Chiun, your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into captivity (AI)beyond Damascus,”
Says the Lord, (AJ)whose name is the God of hosts.
Amos 5
English Standard Version
Seek the Lord and Live
5 Hear this word that I (A)take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 “Fallen, no more to rise,
is (B)the virgin Israel;
forsaken on her land,
with none to raise her up.”
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that went out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
shall have ten left
to the house of Israel.”
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
(C)“Seek me and live;
5 but do not seek (D)Bethel,
and do not enter into (E)Gilgal
or cross over to (F)Beersheba;
for (G)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
and (H)Bethel shall come to nothing.”
6 (I)Seek the Lord and live,
(J)lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for (K)Bethel,
7 O (L)you who turn justice to wormwood[a]
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 He who made the (M)Pleiades and Orion,
and turns deep darkness into the morning
and (N)darkens the day into night,
who (O)calls for the waters of the sea
(P)and pours them out on the surface of the earth,
(Q)the Lord is his name;
9 (R)who makes destruction flash forth against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 (S)They hate him who reproves (T)in the gate,
and they (U)abhor him who speaks the truth.
11 Therefore because you (V)trample on[b] the poor
and you exact taxes of grain from him,
(W)you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not dwell in them;
(X)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who (Y)take a bribe,
and (Z)turn aside the needy (AA)in the gate.
13 Therefore he who is prudent will (AB)keep silent in such a time,
(AC)for it is an evil time.
14 (AD)Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, (AE)the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said.
15 (AF)Hate evil, and love good,
and establish justice (AG)in the gate;
(AH)it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, (AI)the God of hosts, the Lord:
“In all the squares (AJ)there shall be wailing,
and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmers to mourning
and (AK)to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
17 and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
for (AL)I will pass through your midst,”
says the Lord.
Let Justice Roll Down
18 Woe to you who desire (AM)the day of the Lord!
Why would you have the day of the Lord?
(AN)It is darkness, and not light,
19 (AO)as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
20 (AP)Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
21 (AQ)“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 (AR)Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to (AS)the melody of your harps I will not listen.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 (AT)“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 26 (AU)You (AV)shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves, 27 (AW)and I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is (AX)the God of hosts.
