عَامُوس 9

١ 1 رَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّيِّدَ قَائِمًا عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، فَقَالَ: «اِضْرِبْ تَاجَ ٱلْعَمُودِ حَتَّى تَرْجُفَ ٱلْأَعْتَابُ، وَكَسِّرْهَا عَلَى رُؤُوسِ جَمِيعِهِمْ، فَأَقْتُلَ آخِرَهُمْ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. لَا يَهْرُبُ مِنْهُمْ هَارِبٌ وَلَا يُفْلِتُ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

٢ 2 إِنْ نَقَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ تَأْخُذُهُمْ يَدِي، وَإِنْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُنْزِلُهُمْ. (Sheol h7585)

Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

٣ 3 وَإِنِ ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُفَتِّشُ وَآخُذُهُمْ، وَإِنِ ٱخْتَفَوْا مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ فِي قَعْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ آمُرُ ٱلْحَيَّةَ فَتَلْدَغُهُمْ.

And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.

٤ 4 وَإِنْ مَضَوْا فِي ٱلسَّبْيِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ آمُرُ ٱلسَّيْفَ فَيَقْتُلُهُمْ، وَأَجْعَلُ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلشَّرِّ لَا لِلْخَيْرِ».

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

٥ 5 وَٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱلَّذِي يَمَسُّ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَتَذُوبُ، وَيَنُوحُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا، وَتَطْمُو كُلُّهَا كَنَهْرٍ وَتَنْضُبُ كَنِيلِ مِصْرَ.

And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي بَنَى فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَالِيَهُ وَأَسَّسَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ قُبَّتَهُ، ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُو مِيَاهَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَيَصُبُّهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ.

He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.

٧ 7 «أَلَسْتُمْ لِي كَبَنِي ٱلْكُوشِيِّينَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ أَلَمْ أُصْعِدْ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ كَفْتُورَ، وَٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ مِنْ قِيرٍ؟

Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

٨ 8 هُوَذَا عَيْنَا ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ، وَأُبِيدُهَا عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أُبِيدُ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ تَمَامًا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ هَأَنَذَا آمُرُ فَأُغَرْبِلُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَمَا يُغَرْبَلُ فِي ٱلْغُرْبَالِ، وَحَبَّةٌ لَا تَقَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.

١٠ 10 بِٱلسَّيْفِ يَمُوتُ كُلُّ خَاطِئِي شَعْبِي ٱلْقَائِلِينَ: لَا يَقْتَرِبُ ٱلشَّرُّ، وَلَا يَأْتِي بَيْنَنَا.

All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.

١١ 11 «فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُقِيمُ مِظَلَّةَ دَاوُدَ ٱلسَّاقِطَةَ، وَأُحَصِّنُ شُقُوقَهَا، وَأُقِيمُ رَدْمَهَا، وَأَبْنِيهَا كَأَيَّامِ ٱلدَّهْرِ.

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.

١٢ 12 لِكَيْ يَرِثُوا بَقِيَّةَ أَدُومَ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمِي عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلصَّانِعُ هَذَا.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.

١٣ 13 هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، يُدْرِكُ ٱلْحَارِثُ ٱلْحَاصِدَ، وَدَائِسُ ٱلْعِنَبِ بَاذِرَ ٱلزَّرْعِ، وَتَقْطُرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ عَصِيرًا، وَتَسِيلُ جَمِيعُ ٱلتِّلَالِ.

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.

١٤ 14 وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَبْنُونَ مُدُنًا خَرِبَةً وَيَسْكُنُونَ، وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَهَا، وَيَصْنَعُونَ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَأْكُلُونَ أَثْمَارَهَا.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

١٥ 15 وَأَغْرِسُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، وَلَنْ يُقْلَعُوا بَعْدُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ».

And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
