Amós 8
Reina Valera Contemporánea
El cesto con fruta de verano
8 El Señor también me hizo ver esto: Me mostró un cesto lleno con fruta de verano,[a] 2 y me dijo:
«¿Qué ves, Amós?»
Yo respondí:
«Veo un cesto con fruta de verano.»
Entonces el Señor me dijo:
«Ha llegado el fin[b] de mi pueblo Israel. No voy a pasarle una más. 3 Cuando llegue el día, en el palacio habrá llanto y no cantos. Por todas partes abundarán los cadáveres, los cuales serán arrojados en silencio.»
—Palabra del Señor.
Se acerca el juicio contra Israel
4 Oigan esto, ustedes, los que explotan a los menesterosos y dejan en la ruina a los pobres de la tierra. 5 Ustedes dicen:
«¿Cuándo pasará la fiesta de luna nueva? ¡Entonces podremos vender el trigo! ¿Y cuándo pasará el día de reposo, para que abramos los graneros? ¡Achicaremos la medida, subiremos el precio, y adulteraremos la balanza! 6 ¡Así podremos comprar a los pobres por dinero, y a los necesitados a cambio de un par de zapatos! ¡Hasta los desechos del trigo podremos vender!»
7 Pero el Señor ha jurado por la gloria de Jacob:
«¡No voy a olvidar ninguna de sus malas acciones!»
8 ¿Y no habrá de estremecerse la tierra por todo esto? ¿Y no habrán de llorar todos sus habitantes? ¡Toda ella subirá como un río! ¡Se encrespará y se hundirá como el río de Egipto!
9 «Cuando llegue ese día, haré que el sol se ponga a mediodía. El día estará claro, pero yo cubriré de tinieblas la tierra.
—Palabra del Señor.
10 »Convertiré sus fiestas en velorios, y sus cantos de alegría en cantos fúnebres. Haré que todos se vistan de luto, que se rapen la cabeza, y que lloren como si se hubiera muerto su único hijo. El final será un día de amargura.
11 »Vienen días en que habrá en la tierra una gran hambre, pero no de pan ni de agua, sino hambre de oír mi palabra.
—Palabra del Señor.
12 »Andarán errantes de mar a mar, y del norte hasta el oriente, en busca de mi palabra, pero no la hallarán.
13 »Cuando llegue ese día, la sed hará desfallecer a las doncellas más hermosas y a los jóvenes más fornidos. 14 Esos que juran por el pecado de Samaria, y dicen: “¡Va por tu Dios, Dan!”, y: “¡Va por el camino de Berseba!”, caerán para no volver a levantarse.»
Amos 8
English Standard Version
The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning
8 (A)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, (B)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, (C)“A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me,
(D)“The end[a] has come upon my people Israel;
I will never again pass by them.
3 (E)The songs of the temple[b] (F)shall become wailings[c] in that day,”
declares the Lord God.
(G)“So many dead bodies!”
“They are thrown everywhere!”
(H)“Silence!”
4 Hear this, (I)you who trample on the needy
and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5 saying, “When will (J)the new moon be over,
that we may sell grain?
And (K)the Sabbath,
that we may offer wheat for sale,
that we may make (L)the ephah small and the shekel[d] great
and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6 that we may buy the poor for (M)silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and sell the chaff of the wheat?”
7 The Lord has sworn by (N)the pride of Jacob:
“Surely (O)I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 (P)Shall not the land tremble on this account,
and everyone mourn who dwells in it,
(Q)and all of it rise like the Nile,
and be tossed about (R)and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?”
9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord God,
(S)“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 (T)I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
(U)I will bring sackcloth on every waist
(V)and baldness on every head;
(W)I will make it like the mourning for an only son
and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when (X)I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
(Y)but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 (Z)They shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
(AA)but they shall not find it.
Amos 8
King James Version
8 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
阿摩司书 8
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
一筐果子的异象
8 主耶和华又指示我一件事，看哪，有一筐夏天的果子。 2 他说：“阿摩司，你看见什么？”我说：“一筐夏天的果子。”耶和华对我说：
以色列的结局
4 你们这些践踏贫穷人、
使这地困苦人衰败的，
当听这话！
5 你们说：“初一几时过去，
我们好卖粮；
安息日几时过去，
我们好摆开谷物；
我们要把伊法变小，
把舍客勒变大，
以诡诈的天平欺哄人，
6 用银子买贫寒人，
以一双鞋换贫穷人，
把坏的谷物卖给人。”
7 耶和华指着雅各的骄傲起誓说：
“他们这一切的行为，我必永远不忘。
8 地岂不因这事震动？
其中的居民岂不悲哀吗？
全地必如尼罗河涨起，
如埃及的尼罗河涌起退落。
9 “到那日，
我要使太阳在正午落下，
使这地在白昼黑暗。”
这是主耶和华说的。
10 “我要使你们的节期变为悲哀，
你们一切的歌曲变为哀歌；
我要使众人腰束麻布，
头上光秃；
我要使这悲哀如丧独子，
其结局如悲痛的日子。
11 “看哪，日子将到，
我必命饥荒降在地上；
人饥饿非因无饼，干渴非因无水，
而是因不听耶和华的话。”
这是主耶和华说的。
12 他们必飘流，从这海到那海，
从北边到东边，往来奔跑，
寻求耶和华的话，
却寻不着。
13 “当那日，少年和美貌的少女
必因干渴而发昏。
14 那些指着撒玛利亚的罪孽[c]起誓的，说：
‘但哪，我们指着你那里的神明起誓’，
又说：‘我们指着通往别是巴的路起誓’，
这些人都必仆倒，永不再起。”
