# 摩-Amo 7 ## 摩7:1 主耶和华指示我一件事：为王割菜之后(“菜”或作“草”)，菜又发生；刚发生的时候，主造蝗虫。 Amo 7:1 “This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.” ## 摩7:2 蝗虫吃尽那地的青物；我就说：“主耶和华啊！求你赦免，因为雅各微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？” Amo 7:2 “When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, “O Lord GOD, please forgive! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!” ## 摩7:3 耶和华就后悔说：“这灾可以免了。” Amo 7:3 “The LORD relented concerning this: “It shall not be,” said the LORD.” ## 摩7:4 主耶和华又指示我一件事：他命火来惩罚以色列，火就吞灭深渊，险些将地烧灭。 Amo 7:4 “This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.” ## 摩7:5 我就说：“主耶和华啊！求你止息，因为雅各微弱，他怎能站立得住呢？” Amo 7:5 “Then I said, “O Lord GOD, please cease! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!” ## 摩7:6 耶和华就后悔说：“这灾也可免了。” Amo 7:6 “The LORD relented concerning this: “This also shall not be,” said the Lord GOD.” ## 摩7:7 他又指示我一件事：有一道墙是按准绳建筑的，主手拿准绳站在其上。 Amo 7:7 “This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.” ## 摩7:8 耶和华对我说：“阿摩司啊！你看见什么？”我说：“看见准绳。”主说：“我要吊起准绳在我民以色列中，我必不再宽恕他们。 Amo 7:8 “And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them;” ## 摩7:9 以撒的邱坛必然凄凉，以色列的圣所必然荒废。我必兴起，用刀攻击耶罗波安的家。” Amo 7:9 “the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.” ## 摩7:10 伯特利的祭司亚玛谢打发人到以色列王耶罗波安那里，说：“阿摩司在以色列家中，图谋背叛你；他所说的一切话，这国担当不起。 Amo 7:10 “Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.” ## 摩7:11 因为阿摩司如此说，耶罗波安必被刀杀，以色列民定被掳去离开本地。” Amo 7:11 “For thus Amos has said, “‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.’” ## 摩7:12 亚玛谢又对阿摩司说：“你这先见哪，要逃往犹大地去，在那里糊口，在那里说预言。 Amo 7:12 “And Amaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there,” ## 摩7:13 却不要在伯特利再说预言，因为这里有王的圣所，有王的宫殿。” Amo 7:13 “but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.” ## 摩7:14 阿摩司对亚玛谢说：“我原不是先知，也不是先知的门徒(原文作“儿子”)；我是牧人，又是修理桑树的。 Amo 7:14 “Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I was no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs.” ## 摩7:15 耶和华选召我，使我不跟从羊群，对我说：‘你去向我民以色列说预言。’ Amo 7:15 “But the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’” ## 摩7:16 亚玛谢啊！现在你要听耶和华的话。你说，不要向以色列说预言，也不要向以撒家滴下预言。 Amo 7:16 “Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. “You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.’” ## 摩7:17 所以耶和华如此说：‘你的妻子必在城中作妓女，你的儿女必倒在刀下；你的地必有人用绳子量了分取，你自己必死在污秽之地。以色列民定被掳去离开本地。” Amo 7:17 “Therefore thus says the LORD: “‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided up with a measuring line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”
