英漢對照圣經故事:阿摩司 Amos
活動時期西元前8世紀
最早的希伯來先知(prophet,十二小先知〔12 Minor Prophets〕之一),《圣經》中有一卷書以他的名字命名。生于猶大(Judah)的泰科亞(Tekoa),原為一名牧羊人。根據〈阿摩司書〉中記載,他旅行到更富有、更強大的以色列王國,去宣講他神將毀滅該地的幻象和以下的訊息:上帝是人類的絕對主宰,要求不分貧富公正對待,即使上帝的選民也不能例外地都要遵守道德秩序。他預言以色列的北部王國即將滅亡,預期了后來《舊約》的先知們的斷言。
Earliest Hebrew prophet (one of the 12 Minor Prophets) to have a biblical book named for him. Born in Tekoa in Judah, he was a shepherd. According to the Book of Amos, he traveled to the richer and more powerful kingdom of Israel to preach his visions of divine destruction and the message that God's absolute sovereignty required justice for rich and poor alike and that God's chosen people were not exempt from the moral order. He foretold the destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel and anticipated the predictions of doom by later Old Testament prophets.
