¹阿摩司的默示提哥亞的牧人阿摩司，在猶大王烏西雅和以色列王約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作王的日子，大地震前二年所見的異象，就是有關以色列的話，記在下面。

¹The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

²他說：“耶和華從錫安吼叫，從耶路撒冷發聲；牧人的草場因此乾旱，迦密的山頂枯乾。

²And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

³懲罰大馬士革“耶和華這樣說：‘大馬士革三番四次犯罪，我必不收回懲罰他的命令；因為他用打穀的鐵器蹂躪基列。

³Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:

⁴我必降火在哈薛的王宮，燒毀便．哈達的堡壘。

⁴but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

⁵我必折斷大馬士革的門閂，剪除亞文平原的居民，以及伯．伊甸掌權的首領；亞蘭的人民也必被擄至吉珥。’這是耶和華說的。

⁵And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.

⁶懲罰非利士“耶和華這樣說：‘迦薩三番四次犯罪，我必不收回懲罰他的命令；因為他帶走全部的俘虜，交給以東。

⁶Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom:

⁷我必降火在迦薩的城牆，燒毀他的堡壘；

⁷but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

⁸我必剪除亞實突的居民，以及亞實基倫掌權的領袖；我必伸手攻擊以革倫，把餘剩的非利士人都滅絕。’這是主耶和華說的。

⁸And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁹懲罰推羅“耶和華這樣說：‘推羅三番四次犯罪，我必不收回懲罰他的命令；因為他把全部的俘虜交給以東，並不記念與兄弟所立的盟約。

⁹Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

¹⁰我必降火在推羅的城牆，燒毀他的堡壘。’

¹⁰but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

¹¹懲罰以東“耶和華這樣說：‘以東三番四次犯罪，我必不收回懲罰他的命令；因為他拿刀追殺他的兄弟，沒有絲毫憐憫；他的怒氣不斷爆發，他的忿怒永不止息。

¹¹Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

¹²我必降火在提幔，燒毀伯斯拉的堡壘。’

¹²but I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹³懲罰亞捫“耶和華這樣說：‘亞捫三番四次犯罪，我必不收回懲罰他的命令；因為他為了擴張疆界，甚至剖開基列孕婦的肚腹。

¹³Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.

¹⁴在戰爭之日的吶喊中，在風雨天的暴風中；我必在拉巴的城牆放火，燒毀他的堡壘。

¹⁴But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;

¹⁵他的君王必被擄走，君王和官員一同被擄。’這是耶和華說的。”

¹⁵and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
