英汉对照圣经故事:阿摩司 Amos
活动时期西元前8世纪
最早的希伯来先知（prophet，十二小先知〔12 Minor Prophets〕之一），《圣经》中有一卷书以他的名字命名。生于犹大（Judah）的泰科亚（Tekoa），原为一名牧羊人。根据〈阿摩司书〉中记载，他旅行到更富有、更强大的以色列王国，去宣讲他神将毁灭该地的幻象和以下的讯息：上帝是人类的绝对主宰，要求不分贫富公正对待，即使上帝的选民也不能例外地都要遵守道德秩序。他预言以色列的北部王国即将灭亡，预期了后来《旧约》的先知们的断言。
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.
