阿摩司書 7	Amos 7
阿摩司書 7:1 ^ 主耶和華指示我一件事．為王割菜之後〔菜或作草〕菜又發生、剛發生的時候、主造蝗蟲。	Amos 7:1 ^ This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
阿摩司書 7:2 ^ 蝗蟲喫盡那地的青物、我就說主耶和華阿、求你赦免．因為雅各微弱、他怎能站立得住呢。	Amos 7:2 ^ And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
阿摩司書 7:3 ^ 耶和華就後悔、說、這災可以免了。	Amos 7:3 ^ The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
阿摩司書 7:4 ^ 主耶和華又指示我一件事．他命火來懲罰以色列、火就吞滅深淵、險些將地燒滅。	Amos 7:4 ^ This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
阿摩司書 7:5 ^ 我就說、主耶和華阿、求你止息．因為雅各微弱、他怎能站立得住呢。	Amos 7:5 ^ Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
阿摩司書 7:6 ^ 耶和華就後悔說、這災也可免了。	Amos 7:6 ^ The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
阿摩司書 7:7 ^ 他又指示我一件事．有一道牆是按準繩建築的、主手拿準繩站在其上。	Amos 7:7 ^ This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.
阿摩司書 7:8 ^ 耶和華對我說、阿摩司阿、你看見甚麼．我說、看見準繩。主說、我要弔起準繩在我民以色列中．我必不再寬恕他們．	Amos 7:8 ^ And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:
阿摩司書 7:9 ^ 以撒的邱壇必然淒涼、以色列的聖所必然荒廢．我必興起、用刀攻擊耶羅波安的家。	Amos 7:9 ^ And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
阿摩司書 7:10 ^ 伯特利的祭司亞瑪謝打發人到以色列王耶羅波安那裡、說、阿摩司在以色列家中、圖謀背叛你．他所說的一切話、這國擔當不起。	Amos 7:10 ^ Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, Amos has made designs against you among the people of Israel: the land is troubled by his words.
阿摩司書 7:11 ^ 因為阿摩司如此說、耶羅波安必被刀殺、以色列民定被擄去離開本地。	Amos 7:11 ^ For Amos has said, Jeroboam will be put to the sword, and Israel will certainly be taken away as a prisoner out of his land.
阿摩司書 7:12 ^ 亞瑪謝又對阿摩司說、你這先見哪、要逃往猶大地去、在那裡餬口、在那裡說豫言．	Amos 7:12 ^ And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go in flight into the land of Judah, and there get your living by working as a prophet:
阿摩司書 7:13 ^ 卻不要在伯特利再說豫言．因為這裡有王的聖所、有王的宮殿。	Amos 7:13 ^ But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
阿摩司書 7:14 ^ 阿摩司對亞瑪謝說、我原不是先知、也不是先知的門徒〔原文作兒子〕我是牧人、又是修理桑樹的．	Amos 7:14 ^ Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:
阿摩司書 7:15 ^ 耶和華選召我、使我不跟從羊群、對我說、你去向我民以色列說豫言。	Amos 7:15 ^ And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
阿摩司書 7:16 ^ 亞瑪謝阿、現在你要聽耶和華的話．你說、不要向以色列說豫言、也不要向以撒家滴下豫言。	Amos 7:16 ^ Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac.
阿摩司書 7:17 ^ 所以耶和華如此說、你的妻子必在城中作妓女、你的兒女必倒在刀下、你的地必有人用繩子量了分取．你自己必死在污穢之地、以色列民定被擄去離開本地。	Amos 7:17 ^ So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
