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.

Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.

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

If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (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.

If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.

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

If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”

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

When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.

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

He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.

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

And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].

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

I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.

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

When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].

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

From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”

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

“The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.

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

When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.

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

There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].

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

I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].

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

I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
