عَامُوس 4

١ 1 اِسْمَعِي هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ يَا بَقَرَاتِ بَاشَانَ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، ٱلظَّالِمَةَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، ٱلسَّاحِقَةَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، ٱلْقَائِلَةَ لِسَادَتِهَا: «هَاتِ لِنَشْرَبَ».

Heare this worde, ye kine of Bashan that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, and destroy the needie, and they say to their masters, Bring, and let vs drinke.

٢ 2 قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُدْسِهِ: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي عَلَيْكُنَّ، يَأْخُذُونَكُنَّ بِخَزَائِمَ، وَذُرِّيَّتَكُنَّ بِشُصُوصِ ٱلسَّمَكِ.

The Lord God hath sworne by his holines, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that hee wil take you away with thornes, and your posteritie with fish hookes.

٣ 3 وَمِنَ ٱلشُّقُوقِ تَخْرُجْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، وَتَنْدَفِعْنَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And ye shall goe out at the breaches euery kow forward: and ye shall cast your selues out of the palace, saith the Lord.

٤ 4 «هَلُمَّ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَأَذْنِبُوا إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَأَكْثِرُوا ٱلذُّنُوبَ، وَأَحْضِرُوا كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ ذَبَائِحَكُمْ، وَكُلَّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ عُشُورَكُمْ.

Come to Beth-el, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three yeres.

٥ 5 وَأَوْقِدُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَمِيرِ تَقْدِمَةَ شُكْرٍ، وَنَادُوا بِنَوَافِلَ وَسَمِّعُوا، لِأَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا أَحْبَبْتُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And offer a thankesgiuing of leauen, publish and proclaime the free offrings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.

٦ 6 «وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ نَظَافَةَ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ، وَعَوَزَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And therefore haue I giuen you cleannes of teeth in all your cities, and scarcenesse of bread in all your places, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

٧ 7 وَأَنَا أَيْضًا مَنَعْتُ عَنْكُمُ ٱلْمَطَرَ إِذْ بَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ لِلْحَصَادِ، وَأَمْطَرْتُ عَلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَعَلَى مَدِينَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ أُمْطِرْ. أُمْطِرَ عَلَى ضَيْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَٱلضَّيْعَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا جَفَّتْ.

And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and haue not caused it to raine vpon another citie: one piece was rained vpon, and the piece whereupon it rained not, withered.

٨ 8 فَجَالَتْ مَدِينَتَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِتَشْرَبَ مَاءً وَلَمْ تَشْبَعْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

So two or three cities wandred vnto one citie to drinke water, but they were not satisfied: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

٩ 9 ضَرْبَتُكُمْ بِٱللَّفْحِ وَٱلْيَرَقَانِ. كَثِيرًا مَا أَكَلَ ٱلْقَمَصُ جَنَّاتِكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ وَتِينَكُمْ وَزَيْتُونَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I haue smitten you with blasting, and mildewe: your great gardens and your vineyardes, and your figtrees, and your oliue trees did the palmer worme deuoure: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

١٠ 10 أَرْسَلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَأً عَلَى طَرِيقَةِ مِصْرَ. قَتَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِتْيَانَكُمْ مَعَ سَبْيِ خَيْلِكُمْ، وَأَصْعَدْتُ نَتْنَ مَحَالِّكُمْ حَتَّى إِلَى أُنُوفِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Pestilence haue I sent among you, after the maner of Egypt: your yong men haue I slaine with the sworde, and haue taken away your horses: and I haue made the stinke of your tentes to come vp euen into your nostrels: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

١١ 11 قَلَبْتُ بَعْضَكُمْ كَمَا قَلَبَ ٱللهُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، فَصِرْتُمْ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُنْتَشَلَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I haue ouerthrowe you, as God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorah: and ye were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.

١٢ 12 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي أَصْنَعُ بِكَ هَذَا، فَٱسْتَعِدَّ لِلِقَاءِ إِلَهِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ».

Therefore, thus wil I do vnto thee, O Israel: and because I wil doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.

١٣ 13 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَخَلَقَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَا هُوَ فِكْرُهُ، ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْفَجْرَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَمْشِي عَلَى مَشَارِفِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ.

For lo, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the winde, and declareth vnto man what is his thought: which maketh the morning darkenesse, and walketh vpon the hie places of the earth, the Lord God of hostes is his Name.
