عَامُوس 5
| اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُنَادِي بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ، مَرْثَاةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١ 1 |
Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
| «سَقَطَتْ عَذْرَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ. ٱنْطَرَحَتْ عَلَى أَرْضِهَا لَيْسَ مَنْ يُقِيمُهَا». | ٢ 2 |
“The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.”
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْخَارِجَةُ بِأَلْفٍ، يَبْقَى لَهَا مِئَةٌ، وَٱلْخَارِجَةُ بِمِئَةٍ يَبْقَى لَهَا عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٣ 3 |
For the Lord GOD says: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱطْلُبُوا فَتَحْيَوْا. | ٤ 4 |
For the LORD says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;
| وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا بَيْتَ إِيلَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ لَا تَذْهَبُوا، وَإِلَى بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ لَا تَعْبُرُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِلْجَالَ تُسْبَى سَبْيًا، وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ تَصِيرُ عَدَمًا». | ٥ 5 |
but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ فَتَحْيَوْا لِئَلَّا يَقْتَحِمَ بَيْتَ يُوسُفَ كَنَارٍ تُحْرِقُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُطْفِئُهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
Seek the LORD, and you will live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَوِّلُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا، وَيُلْقُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٧ 7 |
You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
| اَلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلثُّرَيَّا وَٱلْجَبَّارَ، وَيُحَوِّلُ ظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ صُبْحًا، وَيُظْلِمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ كَٱللَّيْلِ. ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُو مِيَاهَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَيَصُبُّهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٨ 8 |
Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name,
| ٱلَّذِي يُفْلِحُ ٱلْخَرِبَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوِيِّ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلْخَرِبُ عَلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. | ٩ 9 |
who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
| إِنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَابِ يُبْغِضُونَ ٱلْمُنْذِرَ، وَيَكْرَهُونَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
| لِذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ تَدُوسُونَ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ، وَتَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ هَدِيَّةَ قَمْحٍ، بَنَيْتُمْ بُيُوتًا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ وَلَا تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا، وَغَرَسْتُمْ كُرُومًا شَهِيَّةً وَلَا تَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَهَا. | ١١ 11 |
Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
| لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ذُنُوبَكُمْ كَثِيرَةٌ وَخَطَايَاكُمْ وَافِرَةٌ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُضَايِقُونَ ٱلْبَارَّ، ٱلْآخِذُونَ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ، ٱلصَّادُّونَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ. | ١٢ 12 |
For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.
| لِذَلِكَ يَصْمُتُ ٱلْعَاقِلُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ لِأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلْخَيْرَ لَا ٱلشَّرَّ لِكَىْ تَحْيَوْا، فَعَلَى هَذَا يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ مَعَكُمْ كَمَا قُلْتُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
| اُبْغُضُوا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْخَيْرَ، وَثَبِّتُوا ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ يُوسُفَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that the LORD, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ نَحِيبٌ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ يَقُولُونَ: آهِ! آهِ! وَيَدْعُونَ ٱلْفَلَّاحَ إِلَى ٱلنَّوْحِ، وَجَمِيعَ عَارِفِي ٱلرِّثَاءِ لِلنَّدْبِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
| وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكُرُومِ نَدْبٌ، لِأَنِّي أَعْبُرُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ 17 |
In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says the LORD.
| وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَشْتَهُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ! لِمَاذَا لَكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ هُوَ ظَلَامٌ لَا نُورٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.
| كَمَا إِذَا هَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْأَسَدِ فَصَادَفَهُ ٱلدُّبُّ، أَوْ دَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ فَلَدَغَتْهُ ٱلْحَيَّةُ! | ١٩ 19 |
As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
| أَلَيْسَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ظَلَامًا لَا نُورًا، وَقَتَامًا وَلَا نُورَ لَهُ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Won’t the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
| «بَغَضْتُ، كَرِهْتُ أَعْيَادَكُمْ، وَلَسْتُ أَلْتَذُّ بِٱعْتِكَافَاتِكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
| إِنِّي إِذَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَتَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ لَا أَرْتَضِي، وَذَبَائِحَ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ مِنْ مُسَمَّنَاتِكُمْ لَا أَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
| أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي ضَجَّةَ أَغَانِيكَ، وَنَغْمَةَ رَبَابِكَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
| وَلْيَجْرِ ٱلْحَقُّ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلْبِرُّ كَنَهْرٍ دَائِمٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
| «هَلْ قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي ذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
| بَلْ حَمَلْتُمْ خَيْمَةَ مَلْكُومِكُمْ، وَتِمْثَالَ أَصْنَامِكُمْ، نَجْمَ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
| فَأَسْبِيكُمْ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَ دِمَشْقَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of Armies.
