| 7:1 | 主耶和华指示我一件事：为王割菜（“菜”或作“草”）之后，菜又发生，刚发生的时候，主造蝗虫。
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. |
|
| 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？
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. |
|
| 7:3 | 耶和华就后悔说，这灾可以免了。
The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. |
|
| 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。
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part. |
|
| 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？
Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. |
|
| 7:6 | 耶和华就后悔说，这灾也可免了。
The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. |
|
| 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。
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. |
|
| 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。
And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: |
|
| 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。
And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. |
|
| 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。
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. |
|
| 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。
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. |
|
| 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。
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: |
|
| 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。
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. |
|
| 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。
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: |
|
| 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。
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. |
|
| 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。
Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. |
|
| 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。
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land. |
