7:1 主耶和华指给我看：在为王割草之后，春季作物刚开始生长时，主造了蝗虫。
Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there He was, forming locusts in the beginning of the springing up of the spring crop; and it was the spring crop after the king's mowings.
7:2 蝗虫吃尽那地的青物，我就说，主耶和华阿，求你赦免！因为雅各微小，他怎能站立得住呢？
And when their eating of the herbage of the land was complete, I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
7:3 耶和华就为此后悔：耶和华说，这灾必不发生。
Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah.
7:4 主耶和华又指给我看：主耶和华召来火的刑罚，火就吞灭深渊，烧灭那地。
Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there the Lord Jehovah was, calling to contend with them with fire; and it devoured the great deep, and it devoured the land.
7:5 我就说，主耶和华阿，求你止息！因为雅各微小，他怎能站立得住呢？
Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, Stop, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
7:6 耶和华就为此后悔：主耶和华说，这灾也必不发生。
Jehovah repented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.
7:7 祂又指给我看：主站在一道按准绳筑好的墙上，祂手中拿着准绳。
Thus He showed me, and there the Lord was, standing upon a perfectly plumbed wall; and in His hand was a plumb line.
7:8 耶和华对我说，阿摩司阿，你看见什么？我说，一条准绳。主说，我要安放准绳在我民以色列中；我必不再放过他们。
And Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, I am now setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass them by again any more.
7:9 以撒的邱坛必然荒废，以色列的圣所必成荒场；我必兴起，用刀攻击耶罗波安的家。
And the high places of Isaac will be desolated, And the sanctuaries of Israel will be made waste; And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a 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，这地担当不起。
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to endure 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 says Amos, By the sword Jeroboam will die, and Israel will surely go into captivity out from its 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；
Then Amaziah said to Amos, Go, you seer; flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
7:13 却不要在伯特利再说预言，因为这里是王的圣所，是王的宫殿。
But in Bethel you shall not ever prophesy again, for it is the king's sanc- tuary and it is the royal residence.
7:14 阿摩司回答亚玛谢说，我原不是申言者，也不是申言者的儿子；我是牧人，又是修剪桑树的。
Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; rather I am a herdsman and a dresser of sycamores.
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 Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
7:16 亚玛谢阿，现在你要听耶和华的话；你说，不要说预言攻击以色列，也不要说话攻击以撒家。
And now hear the word of Jehovah: You say, You shall not prophesy against Israel, nor shall you speak 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 says Jehovah, Your wife will go about as a harlot in the city, And your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, And your land will be divided by the line, And you yourself will die in a land that is unclean; And Israel will indeed go into captivity Out from its land.
