旧约--阿摩司书(Amos)--第 4 章

Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
4:2 主耶和华指着自己的圣洁起誓说，日子快到，人必用钩子将你们钩去，用鱼钩将你们馀剩的钩去。

4:4 以色列人哪，任你们往伯特利去犯罪，到吉甲加增罪过。每日早晨献上你们的祭物，每三日奉上你们的十分之一。
Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
4:5 任你们献有酵的感谢祭，把甘心祭宣传报告给众人，因为是你们所喜爱的。这是主耶和华说的。
And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
4:6 我使你们在一切城中牙齿乾净，在你们各处粮食缺乏，你们仍不归向我。这是耶和华说的。

4:7 在收割的前三月，我使雨停止，不降在你们那里。我降雨在这城，不降雨在那城。这块地有雨，那块地无雨，无雨的就枯乾了。
And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
4:8 这样，两三城的人凑到一城去找水，却喝不足。你们仍不归向我。这是耶和华说的。
So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
4:9 我以旱（风，霉烂攻击你们。你们园中许多菜蔬，葡萄树，无花果树，橄榄树都被剪虫所吃。你们仍不归向我。这是耶和华说的。

4:10 我降瘟疫在你们中间，像在埃及一样。用刀杀戮你们的少年人，使你们的马匹被掳掠，营中尸首的臭气扑鼻。你们仍不归向我。这是耶和华说的。
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
4:11 我倾覆你们中间的城邑，如同我从前倾覆所多玛，蛾摩拉一样，使你们好像从火中抽出来的一根柴。你们仍不归向我。这是耶和华说的。
I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
4:12 以色列阿，我必向你如此行。以色列阿，我既这样行，你当预备迎见你的神。
Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
4:13 那创山，造风，将心意指示人，使晨光变为幽暗，脚踏在地之高处的。他的名是耶和华万军之神。
For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
