阿摩司書 Amos

8:1	[hb5]	主耶和華又指示我一件事．我看見一筐夏天的果子。
	[kjv]	Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
	[bbe]	This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
8:2	[hb5]	他說、阿摩司阿、你看見甚麼．我說、看見一筐夏天的果子．耶和華說、我民以色列的結局到了．我必不再寬恕他們。
	[kjv]	And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
	[bbe]	And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
8:3	[hb5]	主耶和華說、那日殿中的詩歌變為哀號．必有許多屍首在各處拋棄、無人作聲。
	[kjv]	And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
	[bbe]	And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.
8:4	[hb5]	你們這些要吞喫窮乏人、使困苦人衰敗的、當聽我的話．
	[kjv]	Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
	[bbe]	Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,
8:5	[hb5]	你們說、月朔幾時過去、我們好賣糧．安息日幾時過去、我們好擺開麥子、賣出用小升斗、收銀用大戥子、用詭詐的天平欺哄人．
	[kjv]	Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
	[bbe]	Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
8:6	[hb5]	好用銀子買貧寒人、用一雙鞋換窮乏人、將壞了的麥子賣給人。
	[kjv]	That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
	[bbe]	Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.
8:7	[hb5]	耶和華指著雅各的榮耀起誓、說、他們的一切行為、我必永遠不忘。
	[kjv]	The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
	[bbe]	The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.
8:8	[hb5]	地豈不因這事震動、其上的居民不也悲哀麼。地必全然像尼羅河漲起、如同埃及河湧上落下。
	[kjv]	Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
	[bbe]	Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
8:9	[hb5]	主耶和華說、到那日、我必使日頭在午間落下、使地在白晝黑暗。
	[kjv]	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
	[bbe]	And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
8:10	[hb5]	我必使你們的節期變為悲哀、歌曲變為哀歌．眾人腰束麻布、頭上光禿．使這場悲哀如喪獨生子、至終如痛苦的日子一樣。
	[kjv]	And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
	[bbe]	Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
8:11	[hb5]	主耶和華說、日子將到、我必命飢荒降在地上．人飢餓非因無餅、乾渴非因無水、乃因不聽耶和華的話。
	[kjv]	Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
	[bbe]	See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
8:12	[hb5]	他們必飄流、從這海到那海、從北邊到東邊、往來奔跑尋求耶和華的話、卻尋不著。
	[kjv]	And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
	[bbe]	And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
8:13	[hb5]	當那日、美貌的處女、和少年的男子必因乾渴發昏。
	[kjv]	In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
	[bbe]	In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.
8:14	[hb5]	那指著撒瑪利亞牛犢〔原文作罪〕起誓的說、但哪、我們指著你那裡的活神起誓．又說、我們指著別是巴的神道〔神原文作活〕起誓．這些人都必仆倒、永不再起來。
	[kjv]	They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
	[bbe]	Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.
