عَامُوس 4

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

Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

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

The Lord Yhwh hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

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

And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith Yhwh.

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

Come to Beth–el, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

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

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Yhwh.

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

And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Yhwh.

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 have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, 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 wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Yhwh.

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

I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Yhwh.

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.

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Yhwh.

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

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Yhwh.

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

Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet 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 mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, Yhwh, The God of Armies, is his name.
