< عَامُوس 7 >

هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ جَرَادًا فِي أَوَّلِ طُلُوعِ خِلْفِ ٱلْعُشْبِ. وَإِذَا خِلْفُ عُشْبٍ بَعْدَ جِزَازِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١ 1
Thus the Lord GOD shewed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَكْلِ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنِّي قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱصْفَحْ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!». ٢ 2
And it came to pass that when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا. «لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
The LORD repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَا لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْغَمْرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ وَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْحَقْلَ. ٤ 4
Thus the Lord GOD shewed me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
فَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، كُفَّ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!». ٥ 5
Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا.«فَهُوَ أَيْضًا لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٦ 6
The LORD repented concerning this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
هَكَذَا أَرَانِي وَإِذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى حَائِطٍ قَائِمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ زِيجٌ. ٧ 7
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «زِيجًا». فَقَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ: «هَأَنَذَا وَاضِعٌ زِيجًا فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَعُودُ أَصْفَحُ لَهُ بَعْدُ. ٨ 8
And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more:
فَتُقْفِرُ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ إِسْحَاقَ وَتَخْرَبُ مَقَادِسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقُومُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». ٩ 9
and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
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. ١٠ 10
Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ عَامُوسُ: يَمُوتُ يَرُبْعَامُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ». ١١ 11
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِعَامُوسَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّائِي، ٱذْهَبِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزًا وَهُنَاكَ تَنَبَّأْ. ١٢ 12
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ إِيلَ فَلَا تَعُدْ تَتَنَبَّأُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّهَا مَقْدِسُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتُ ٱلْمُلْكِ». ١٣ 13
but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house.
فَأَجَابَ عَامُوسُ وَقَالَ لِأَمَصْيَا: «لَسْتُ أَنَا نَبِيًّا وَلَا أَنَا ٱبْنُ نَبِيٍّ، بَلْ أَنَا رَاعٍ وَجَانِي جُمَّيْزٍ. ١٤ 14
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a dresser of sycomore trees:
فَأَخَذَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلضَّأْنِ وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبْ تَنَبَّأْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٥ 15
and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
«فَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا تَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْحَاقَ. ١٦ 16
Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word] against the house of Isaac;
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». ١٧ 17
therefore thus saith the LORD: Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
