摩7:1 主耶和华向我这样显示：看哪！替王收割之后，田产又开始生长时，主造出一群蝗虫。
摩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.
摩7:2 蝗虫吃尽地上的农产时，我说：“主耶和华啊！求你宽恕，因雅各太弱小，怎能站立得住呢？”
摩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.
摩7:3 耶和华对这事改变心意，耶和华说：“这事不会发生。”
摩7:3 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
摩7:4 主耶和华向我这样显示：看哪！主耶和华召来刑罚的火，烧毁广大的深渊和以色列的地业。
摩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.
摩7:5 因此我对主耶和华说：“求你停止吧！因雅各太弱小，怎能站立得住呢？”
摩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.
摩7:6 耶和华对这事改变心意。主耶和华说：“这事也不会发生。”
摩7:6 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
摩7:7 他向我这样显示：看哪！主站在一道按准绳建造的墙旁边，手里拿着准绳。
摩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.
摩7:8 耶和华对我说：“阿摩司，你看见什么？”我回答：“我看见准绳。”主又说：“看哪！我把准绳放在我民以色列中间，必不再放过他们。
摩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:
摩7:9 以撒的各邱坛必荒废，以色列所有的圣所必废弃；我必起来用刀击杀耶罗波安家。”
摩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.
摩7:10 伯特利的祭司亚玛谢派人向以色列王耶罗波安报告：“阿摩司在以色列家中图谋背叛你，这国家不能容忍他说的话；
摩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.
摩7:11 因为阿摩司这样说：‘耶罗波安必死在刀下，以色列必被掳，离开本国。’”
摩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.
摩7:12 亚玛谢对阿摩司说：“你这个先见，走吧！滚回犹大地去；在那里你可以找食，在那里你可以说预言。
摩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:
摩7:13 但不要再在伯特利说预言，因为这里是王的圣所，是王国的圣殿。”
摩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.
摩7:14 阿摩司回答亚玛谢说：“我原不是先知，也不是先知的门徒；我本是牧人，是修理桑树的，
摩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:
摩7:15 但耶和华选召我，叫我不再跟随羊群；他对我说：‘你去，向我民以色列说预言。’
摩7:15 And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
摩7:16 现在你要听耶和华的话；因为你说：‘不要说预言攻击以色列，不要说攻击以撒家的话。’
摩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.
摩7:17 所以，耶和华这样说：‘你妻子必在城中作妓女，你的儿女必倒在刀下；你的土地必被人量度瓜分，你自己必死在不洁之地；以色列必被掳，离开本国。’”
摩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.
