عَامُوس 4
| اِسْمَعِي هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ يَا بَقَرَاتِ بَاشَانَ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، ٱلظَّالِمَةَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، ٱلسَّاحِقَةَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، ٱلْقَائِلَةَ لِسَادَتِهَا: «هَاتِ لِنَشْرَبَ». | ١ 1 |
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
| قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُدْسِهِ: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي عَلَيْكُنَّ، يَأْخُذُونَكُنَّ بِخَزَائِمَ، وَذُرِّيَّتَكُنَّ بِشُصُوصِ ٱلسَّمَكِ. | ٢ 2 |
The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
| وَمِنَ ٱلشُّقُوقِ تَخْرُجْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، وَتَنْدَفِعْنَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣ 3 |
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD.
| «هَلُمَّ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَأَذْنِبُوا إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَأَكْثِرُوا ٱلذُّنُوبَ، وَأَحْضِرُوا كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ ذَبَائِحَكُمْ، وَكُلَّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ عُشُورَكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
“Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
| وَأَوْقِدُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَمِيرِ تَقْدِمَةَ شُكْرٍ، وَنَادُوا بِنَوَافِلَ وَسَمِّعُوا، لِأَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا أَحْبَبْتُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٥ 5 |
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.
| «وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ نَظَافَةَ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ، وَعَوَزَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٦ 6 |
“I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
| 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. | ٧ 7 |
“I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
| فَجَالَتْ مَدِينَتَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِتَشْرَبَ مَاءً وَلَمْ تَشْبَعْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
| ضَرْبَتُكُمْ بِٱللَّفْحِ وَٱلْيَرَقَانِ. كَثِيرًا مَا أَكَلَ ٱلْقَمَصُ جَنَّاتِكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ وَتِينَكُمْ وَزَيْتُونَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
“I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
| أَرْسَلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَأً عَلَى طَرِيقَةِ مِصْرَ. قَتَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِتْيَانَكُمْ مَعَ سَبْيِ خَيْلِكُمْ، وَأَصْعَدْتُ نَتْنَ مَحَالِّكُمْ حَتَّى إِلَى أُنُوفِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٠ 10 |
“I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
| قَلَبْتُ بَعْضَكُمْ كَمَا قَلَبَ ٱللهُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، فَصِرْتُمْ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُنْتَشَلَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
“I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
| «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي أَصْنَعُ بِكَ هَذَا، فَٱسْتَعِدَّ لِلِقَاءِ إِلَهِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ». | ١٢ 12 |
“Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
| فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَخَلَقَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَا هُوَ فِكْرُهُ، ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْفَجْرَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَمْشِي عَلَى مَشَارِفِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of Hosts, is his name.”
