Amos 5

以色列家啊，要听我为你们所作的哀歌：

yǐ sè liè jiā a ， yào tīng wǒ wèi nǐ men suǒ zuò de āi gē ：

Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:

以色列民 跌倒，不得再起； 躺在地上，无人搀扶。

yǐ sè liè mín diē dǎo ， bù dé zài qǐ ； tǎng zài dì shàng ， wú rén chān fú 。

“The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.”

主耶和华如此说： 以色列家的城发出一千兵的，只剩一百； 发出一百的，只剩十个。

zhǔ yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： yǐ sè liè jiā de chéng fā chū yì qiān bīng de ， zhī shèng yì bǎi ； fā chū yì bǎi de ， zhī shèng shí gè 。

For the Lord GOD says: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”

耶和华向以色列家如此说： 你们要寻求我，就必存活。

yē hé huá xiàng yǐ sè liè jiā rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ men yào xún qiú wǒ ， jiù bì cún huó 。

For the LORD says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;

不要往伯特利寻求， 不要进入吉甲， 不要过到别是巴； 因为吉甲必被掳掠， 伯特利也必归于无有。

bú yào wǎng bó tè lì xún qiú ， bú yào jìn rù jí jiǎ ， bú yào guò dào bié shì bā ； yīn wèi jí jiǎ bì bèi lǔ lüè ， bó tè lì yě bì guī yú wú yǒu 。

but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

要寻求耶和华，就必存活， 免得他在约瑟家像火发出， 在伯特利焚烧，无人扑灭。

yào xún qiú yē hé huá ， jiù bì cún huó ， miǎn dé tā zài yuē sè jiā xiàng huǒ fā chū ， zài bó tè lì fén shāo ， wú rén pū miè 。

Seek the LORD, and you will live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.

你们这使公平变为茵 、 将公义丢弃于地的，

nǐ men zhè shǐ gōng píng biàn wèi yīn 、 jiāng gōng yì diū qì yú dì de ，

You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!

要寻求那造昴星和参星， 使死荫变为晨光， 使白日变为黑夜， 命海水来浇在地上的— 耶和华是他的名；

yào xún qiú nà zào mǎo xīng hé cān xīng ， shǐ sǐ yìn biàn wèi chén guāng ， shǐ bái rì biàn wèi hēi yè ， mìng hǎi shuǐ lái jiāo zài dì shàng de — yē hé huá shì tā de míng ；

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name,

他使力强的忽遭灭亡， 以致保障遭遇毁坏。

tā shǐ lì qiáng de hū zāo miè wáng ， yǐ zhì bǎo zhàng zāo yù huǐ huài 。

who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.

你们怨恨那在城门口责备人的， 憎恶那说正直话的。

nǐ men yuàn hèn nà zài chéng mén kǒu zé bèi rén de ， zēng wù nà shuō zhèng zhí huà de 。

They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

你们践踏贫民， 向他们勒索麦子； 你们用凿过的石头建造房屋， 却不得住在其内； 栽种美好的葡萄园， 却不得喝所出的酒。

nǐ men jiàn tà pín mín ， xiàng tā men lè suǒ mài zi ； nǐ men yòng záo guò de shí tou jiàn zào fáng wū ， què bù dé zhù zài qí nèi ； zāi zhòng měi hǎo de pú táo yuán ， què bù dé hē suǒ chū de jiǔ 。

Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

我知道你们的罪过何等多， 你们的罪恶何等大。 你们苦待义人，收受贿赂，在城门口屈枉穷乏人。

wǒ zhī dào nǐ men de zuì guo hé děng duō ， nǐ men de zuì è hé děng dà 。 nǐ men kǔ dài yì rén ， shōu shòu huì lù ， zài chéng mén kǒu qū wǎng qióng fá rén 。

For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.

所以通达人见这样的时势必静默不言， 因为时势真恶。

suǒ yǐ tōng dá rén jiàn zhè yàng de shí shì bì jìng mò bù yán ， yīn wèi shí shì zhēn è 。

Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.

你们要求善， 不要求恶，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。

nǐ men yāo qiú shàn ， bú yāo qiú è ， jiù bì cún huó 。 zhè yàng ， yē hé huá — wàn jūn zhī shén bì zhào nǐ men suǒ shuō de yǔ nǐ men tóng zài 。

Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.

要恶恶好善， 在城门口秉公行义； 或者耶和华—万军之 神向约瑟的余民施恩。

yào è è hǎo shàn ， zài chéng mén kǒu bǐng gōng xíng yì ； huò zhě yē hé huá — wàn jūn zhī shén xiàng yuē sè de yú mín shī ēn 。

Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”

主耶和华—万军之 神如此说： 在一切宽阔处必有哀号的声音； 在各街市上必有人说： 哀哉！哀哉！ 又必叫农夫来哭号， 叫善唱哀歌的来举哀。

zhǔ yē hé huá — wàn jūn zhī shén rú cǐ shuō ： zài yí qiè kuān kuò chù bì yǒu āi háo de shēng yīn ； zài gè jiē shì shàng bì yǒu rén shuō ： āi zāi ！ āi zāi ！ yòu bì jiào nóng fū lái kū hào ， jiào shàn chàng āi gē de lái jǔ āi 。

Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.

在各葡萄园必有哀号的声音， 因为我必从你中间经过。 这是耶和华说的。

zài gè pú táo yuán bì yǒu āi háo de shēng yīn ， yīn wèi wǒ bì cóng nǐ zhōng jiān jīng guò 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says the LORD.

想望耶和华日子来到的有祸了！ 你们为何想望耶和华的日子呢？ 那日黑暗没有光明，

xiǎng wàng yē hé huá rì zi lái dào de yǒu huò le ！ nǐ men wèi hé xiǎng wàng yē hé huá de rì zi ne ？ nà rì hēi àn méi yǒu guāng míng ，

“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.

景况好像人躲避狮子又遇见熊， 或是进房屋以手靠墙，就被蛇咬。

jǐng kuàng hǎo xiàng rén duǒ bì shī zi yòu yù jiàn xióng ， huò shì jìn fáng wū yǐ shǒu kào qiáng ， jiù bèi shé yǎo 。

As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

耶和华的日子不是黑暗没有光明吗？ 不是幽暗毫无光辉吗？

yē hé huá de rì zi bú shì hēi àn méi yǒu guāng míng ma ？ bú shì yōu àn háo wú guāng huī ma ？

Won’t the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

我厌恶你们的节期， 也不喜悦你们的严肃会。

wǒ yàn wù nǐ men de jié qī ， yě bù xǐ yuè nǐ men de yán sù huì 。

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.

你们虽然向我献燔祭和素祭， 我却不悦纳， 也不顾你们用肥畜献的平安祭；

nǐ men suī rán xiàng wǒ xiàn fán jì hé sù jì ， wǒ què bú yuè nà ， yě bú gù nǐ men yòng féi chù xiàn de píng ān jì ；

Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.

要使你们歌唱的声音远离我， 因为我不听你们弹琴的响声。

yào shǐ nǐ men gē chàng de shēng yīn yuǎn lí wǒ ， yīn wèi wǒ bù tīng nǐ men tán qín de xiǎng shēng 。

Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.

惟愿公平如大水滚滚， 使公义如江河滔滔。

wéi yuàn gōng píng rú dà shuǐ gǔn gǔn ， shǐ gōng yì rú jiāng hé tāo tāo 。

But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

「以色列家啊，你们在旷野四十年，岂是将祭物和供物献给我呢？

「 yǐ sè liè jiā a ， nǐ men zài kuàng yě sì shí nián ， qǐ shì jiāng jì wù hé gòng wù xiàn gěi wǒ ne ？

“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?

你们抬着为自己所造之摩洛的帐幕和偶像的龛，并你们的神星。

nǐ men tái zhe wèi zì jǐ suǒ zào zhī mó luò de zhàng mù hé ǒu xiàng de kān ， bìng nǐ men de shén xīng 。

You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.

所以我要把你们掳到大马士革以外。」这是耶和华、名为万军之 神说的。

suǒ yǐ wǒ yào bǎ nǐ men lǔ dào dà mǎ shì gé yǐ wài 。」 zhè shì yē hé huá 、 míng wèi wàn jūn zhī shén shuō de 。

Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of Armies.
