عَامُوس 7

١ 1 هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ جَرَادًا فِي أَوَّلِ طُلُوعِ خِلْفِ ٱلْعُشْبِ. وَإِذَا خِلْفُ عُشْبٍ بَعْدَ جِزَازِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.

٢ 2 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَكْلِ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنِّي قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱصْفَحْ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!».

And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.

٣ 3 فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا. «لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.

٤ 4 هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَا لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْغَمْرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ وَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْحَقْلَ.

Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.

٥ 5 فَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، كُفَّ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!».

Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.

٦ 6 فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا.«فَهُوَ أَيْضًا لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.

٧ 7 هَكَذَا أَرَانِي وَإِذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى حَائِطٍ قَائِمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ زِيجٌ.

Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a line in his hand.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «زِيجًا». فَقَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ: «هَأَنَذَا وَاضِعٌ زِيجًا فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَعُودُ أَصْفَحُ لَهُ بَعْدُ.

And the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no more.

٩ 9 فَتُقْفِرُ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ إِسْحَاقَ وَتَخْرَبُ مَقَادِسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقُومُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ».

And the hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.

١٠ 10 فَأَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا كَاهِنُ بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ فَتَنَ عَلَيْكَ عَامُوسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا تَقْدِرُ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَنْ تُطِيقَ كُلَّ أَقْوَالِهِ.

Then Amaziah the Priest of Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ عَامُوسُ: يَمُوتُ يَرُبْعَامُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ».

For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِعَامُوسَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّائِي، ٱذْهَبِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزًا وَهُنَاكَ تَنَبَّأْ.

Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ إِيلَ فَلَا تَعُدْ تَتَنَبَّأُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّهَا مَقْدِسُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتُ ٱلْمُلْكِ».

But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَ عَامُوسُ وَقَالَ لِأَمَصْيَا: «لَسْتُ أَنَا نَبِيًّا وَلَا أَنَا ٱبْنُ نَبِيٍّ، بَلْ أَنَا رَاعٍ وَجَانِي جُمَّيْزٍ.

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.

١٥ 15 فَأَخَذَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلضَّأْنِ وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبْ تَنَبَّأْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.

١٦ 16 «فَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا تَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْحَاقَ.

Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱمْرَأَتُكَ تَزْنِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَرْضُكَ تُقْسَمُ بِٱلْحَبْلِ، وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ فِي أَرْضٍ نَجِسَةٍ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ يُسْبَى سَبْيًا عَنْ أَرْضِهِ».

Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
