阿摩司书 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
哀歌
5 以色列家啊!要听这话,
就是我为你们唱的挽歌:
2 “童贞女以色列,
跌倒了,不能再起来;
她被拋弃在自己的地上,
没有人扶她起来。”
3 因为主耶和华论以色列家这样说:
“这城派兵一千,
剩下的只有一百;
出兵一百,
只剩下十个。”
寻求主得以存活
4 耶和华对以色列家这样说:
“寻求我,就必存活;
5 不要去伯特利寻求我,
不要去吉甲,
也不要过去别是巴。
因为吉甲必被掳掠,
伯特利必化为乌有。”
6 寻求耶和华,就必存活,
免得他像火在约瑟家猛烈蔓延,吞灭他们;
没有人能把伯特利的火扑灭。
7 他们使公正变为苦堇,
把公义弃于地上。
8 那创造昴星和参星,
把幽暗变为黎明,
把白日转为黑夜;
又吩咐海水,
把海水倒在地上的;
耶和华就是他的名。
9 是他使毁灭像闪电临到堡垒,
使毁灭临到坚固的城。
10 他们讨厌那在城门口主持公道的人,
恨恶说正直话的。
11 你们欺压穷人,
强征他们的五谷;
因此,你们用琢磨过的石头建造房屋,
却不能住在其中;
你们栽种美好的葡萄园,
却不能喝园中的酒。
12 因为我知道你们的过犯众多,罪大恶极;
你们迫害义人,收受贿赂,
在城门口屈枉穷乏人;
13 为此,聪明人在这时代缄默无声,
因这时代邪恶。
14 你们要寻求良善,不要寻求邪恶,
这样才可以存活。
耶和华万军的 神就必与你们同在,
正如你们所说的。
15 你们要喜爱良善,恨恶邪恶,
在城门口伸张正义;
这样,耶和华万军的 神或会恩待约瑟的余民。
16 因此,主耶和华万军的 神这样说:
“各广场充满哀恸的声音,
街上只听见‘苦啊!苦啊!’的喊声;
人要召农夫来哀哭,
召善于哭丧的人来哀喊。
17 所有葡萄园充满哀恸的声音,
因为我必在你们中间经过。”
这是耶和华说的。
18 渴望耶和华日子来临的人,你们有祸了!
耶和华的日子对你们有甚么好处呢?
那日是黑暗,没有光明的日子。
19 那日就像一个人避过了狮子,
却遇上了熊;
回到家里,手靠在墙上,
却被蛇咬。
20 耶和华的日子不是黑暗,没有光明,
只有幽暗,全无光辉吗?
神不喜欢外表的敬虔
21 我憎恨、厌恶你们的节期,
也不喜爱你们的节日。
22 虽然你们给我献上燔祭和素祭,
我却不接受。
你们献上肥美的牲畜作平安祭,
我也不悦纳。
23 你们唱歌的吵声要远离我,
我不想听见你们的琴声。
24 但愿公正好象潮水滚流,
公义好象河水长流。
25 以色列家啊!你们在旷野四十年,
有献燔祭和素祭给我吗?
26 你们抬着你们的神“撒固”王,和你们的星神“迦温”的神像,就是你们为自己所做的。
27 我必使你们被掳,流亡到大马士革以外。这是耶和华说的,万军的 神就是他的名。
Amos 5
New International Version
A Lament and Call to Repentance
5 Hear this word, Israel, this lament(A) I take up concerning you:
2 “Fallen is Virgin(B) Israel,
never to rise again,
deserted in her own land,
with no one to lift her up.(C)”
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:
“Your city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left.(D)”
4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:
“Seek(E) me and live;(F)
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(G)
do not journey to Beersheba.(H)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](I)”
6 Seek(J) the Lord and live,(K)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(L)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(M) will have no one to quench it.(N)
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(R)
who turns midnight into dawn(S)
and darkens day into night,(T)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(U)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(V)
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(W)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(X)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(Y)
and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,(Z)
you will not live in them;(AA)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.(AB)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(AC)
There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes(AD)
and deprive the poor(AE) of justice in the courts.(AF)
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet(AG) in such times,
for the times are evil.(AH)
14 Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.(AI)
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is.
15 Hate evil,(AJ) love good;(AK)
maintain justice in the courts.(AL)
Perhaps(AM) the Lord God Almighty will have mercy(AN)
on the remnant(AO) of Joseph.
16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says:
“There will be wailing(AP) in all the streets(AQ)
and cries of anguish in every public square.
The farmers(AR) will be summoned to weep
and the mourners to wail.
17 There will be wailing(AS) in all the vineyards,
for I will pass through(AT) your midst,”
says the Lord.(AU)
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(AV)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(AW)
That day will be darkness,(AX) not light.(AY)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(AZ)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(BA)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(BB) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(BC)
21 “I hate,(BD) I despise your religious festivals;(BE)
your assemblies(BF) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(BG) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(BH)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(BI)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(BJ)
24 But let justice(BK) roll on like a river,
righteousness(BL) like a never-failing stream!(BM)
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(BN) and offerings
forty years(BO) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(BP)
the star of your god[b]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(BQ) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(BR)
