< عَامُوس 6 >
وَيْلٌ لِلْمُسْتَرِيحِينَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، نُقَبَاءِ أَوَّلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
اُعْبُرُوا إِلَى كَلْنَةَ وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَٱذْهَبُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى حَمَاةَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، ثُمَّ ٱنْزِلُوا إِلَى جَتِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. أَهِيَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، أَمْ تُخُمُهُمْ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ تُخُمِكُمْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُبْعِدُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلْبَلِيَّةِ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ مَقْعَدَ ٱلظُّلْمِ، | ٣ 3 |
Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
ٱلْمُضْطَجِعُونَ عَلَى أَسِرَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَٱلْمُتَمَدِّدُونَ عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ، وَٱلْآكِلُونَ خِرَافًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَعُجُولًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلصِّيَرةِ، | ٤ 4 |
Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
ٱلْهَاذِرُونَ مَعَ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبَابِ، ٱلْمُخْتَرِعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ آلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ كَدَاوُدَ، | ٥ 5 |
Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
ٱلشَّارِبُونَ مِنْ كُؤُوسِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدَّهِنُونَ بِأَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَدْهَانِ وَلَا يَغْتَمُّونَ عَلَى ٱنْسِحَاقِ يُوسُفَ. | ٦ 6 |
Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
لِذَلِكَ ٱلْآنَ يُسْبَوْنَ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، وَيَزُولُ صِيَاحُ ٱلْمُتَمَدِّدِينَ. | ٧ 7 |
Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِنَفْسِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ عَظَمَةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأُبْغِضُ قُصُورَهُ، فَأُسَلِّمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا». | ٨ 8 |
Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
فَيَكُونُ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ أَنَّهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
وَإِذَا حَمَلَ أَحَدًا عَمُّهُ وَمُحْرِقُهُ لِيُخْرِجَ ٱلْعِظَامَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَقَالَ لِمَنْ هُوَ فِي جَوَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ: «أَعِنْدَكَ بَعْدُ؟» يَقُولُ: «لَيْسَ بَعْدُ». فَيَقُولُ: «ٱسْكُتْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُذْكَرُ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ١٠ 10 |
And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَأْمُرُ فَيَضْرِبُ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْكَبِيرَ رَدْمًا، وَٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلصَّغِيرَ شُقُوقًا. | ١١ 11 |
For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
هَلْ تَرْكُضُ ٱلْخَيْلُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ؟ أَوْ يُحْرَثُ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْبَقَرِ؟ حَتَّى حَوَّلْتُمُ ٱلْحَقَّ سَمًّا، وَثَمَرَ ٱلْبِرِّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا. | ١٢ 12 |
Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
أَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَرِحُونَ بِٱلْبُطْلِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِنَا ٱتَّخَذْنَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا قُرُونًا؟» | ١٣ 13 |
Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
«لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أُمَّةً فَيُضَايِقُونَكُمْ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ». | ١٤ 14 |
For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
