عَامُوس 2

١ 1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ مُوآبَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا عِظَامَ مَلِكِ أَدُومَ كِلْسًا.

Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

٢ 2 فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى مُوآبَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ قَرْيُوتَ، وَيَمُوتُ مُوآبُ بِضَجِيجٍ، بِجَلَبَةٍ، بِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ.

but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

٣ 3 وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْقَاضِيَ مِنْ وَسَطِهَا، وَأَقْتُلُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَائِهَا مَعَهُ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ».

and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

٤ 4 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ يَهُوذَا ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا نَامُوسَ ٱللهِ وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ، وَأَضَلَّتْهُمْ أَكَاذِيبُهُمُ ٱلَّتِي سَارَ آبَاؤُهُمْ وَرَاءَهَا.

Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:

٥ 5 فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ».

but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

٦ 6 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَاعُوا ٱلْبَارَّ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَٱلْبَائِسَ لِأَجْلِ نَعْلَيْنِ.

Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes:

٧ 7 ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَهَمَّمُونَ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَصُدُّونَ سَبِيلَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، وَيَذْهَبُ رَجُلٌ وَأَبُوهُ إِلَى صَبِيَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُدَنِّسُوا ٱسْمَ قُدْسِي.

that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:

٨ 8 وَيَتَمَدَّدُونَ عَلَى ثِيَابٍ مَرْهُونَةٍ بِجَانِبِ كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَ ٱلْمُغَرَّمِينَ فِي بَيْتِ آلِهَتِهِمْ.

and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.

٩ 9 «وَأَنَا قَدْ أَبَدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيَّ ٱلَّذِي قَامَتُهُ مِثْلُ قَامَةِ ٱلْأَرْزِ، وَهُوَ قَوِيٌّ كَٱلْبَلُّوطِ. أَبَدْتُ ثَمَرَهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَأُصُولَهُ مِنْ تَحْتُ.

Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

١٠ 10 وَأَنَا أَصْعَدْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَسِرْتُ بِكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لِتَرِثُوا أَرْضَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّ.

Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

١١ 11 وَأَقَمْتُ مِنْ بَنِيكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَمِنْ فِتْيَانِكُمْ نَذِيرِينَ. أَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.

١٢ 12 لَكِنَّكُمْ سَقَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرِينَ خَمْرًا، وَأَوْصَيْتُمُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأُوا.

But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

١٣ 13 «هَأَنَذَا أَضْغَطُ مَا تَحْتَكُمْ كَمَا تَضْغَطُ ٱلْعَجَلَةُ ٱلْمَلْآنَةُ حِزَمًا.

Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.

١٤ 14 وَيَبِيدُ ٱلْمَنَاصُ عَنِ ٱلسَّرِيعِ، وَٱلْقَوِيُّ لَا يُشَدِّدُ قُوَّتَهُ، وَٱلْبَطَلُ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ،

And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

١٥ 15 وَمَاسِكُ ٱلْقَوْسِ لَا يَثْبُتُ، وَسَرِيعُ ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ لَا يَنْجُو، وَرَاكِبُ ٱلْخَيْلِ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ.

neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself:

١٦ 16 وَٱلْقَوِيُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ يَهْرُبُ عُرْيَانًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
