< عامُوس 1 >

هَذِهِ كَلِمَاتُ عَامُوسَ الَّذِي كَانَ رَاعِياً مِنْ رُعَاةِ تَقُوعَ، يُنْبِئُ فِيهَا بِمَا رَآهُ بِشَأْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَبْلَ وُقُوعِ الزَّلْزَلَةِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. ١ 1
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
قَالَ: «يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيُدَوِّي بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتَنْتَحِبُ مَرَاعِي الرُّعَاةِ، وَتَذْوِي قِمَّةُ الْكَرْمَلِ. ٢ 2
And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي دِمَشْقَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا قَدْ دَاسُوا شَعْبِي فِي جِلْعَادَ بِنَوَارِجَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. ٣ 3
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
لِذَلِكَ أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى بَيْتِ حَزَائِيلَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ بَنْهَدَدَ. ٤ 4
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
وَأُحَطِّمُ مِزْلاجَ دِمَشْقَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ أَهْلَ وَادِي آوَنَ، وَأُهْلِكُ حَامِلَ صَوْلَجَانِ مُلْكِ بَيْتِ عَدْنٍ، وَيُسَاقُ شَعْبُ أَرَامَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ إِلَى أَرْضِ قِيرَ. ٥ 5
I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, says the LORD.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي غَزَّةَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا نَفَوْا شَعْباً عَنْ آخِرِهِ لِيُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى أَدُومَ. ٦ 6
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
لِذَلِكَ سَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى أَسْوَارِ غَزَّةَ تَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا. ٧ 7
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ أَهْلَ أَشْدُودَ، وَأُهْلِكُ حَامِلَ صَوْلَجَانِ مُلْكِ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَأُوَجِّهُ ضَرَبَاتِي ضِدَّ عَقْرُونَ فَيَفْنَى مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. ٨ 8
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord GOD.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي صُورَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا سَلَّمُوا شَعْباً بِكَامِلِهِ إِلَى أَدُومَ، وَنَقَضُوا عَهْدَ الإِخْوَةِ. ٩ 9
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى أَسْوَارِ صُورَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا. ١٠ 10
But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي أَدُومَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ تَعَقَّبُوا إِخْوَتَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كُلِّ رَحْمَةٍ، وَجَعَلُوا غَضَبَهُمْ يَتَأَجَّجُ مُلْتَهِماً بِاسْتِمْرَارٍ، وَظَلُّوا حَاقِدِينَ عَلَى الدَّوَامِ. ١١ 11
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
فَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى تَيْمَانَ، فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ بُصْرَةَ. ١٢ 12
But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ شَقُّوا بُطُونَ الْحَوَامِلِ فِي جِلْعَادَ لِيُوَسِّعُوا تُخُمَهُمْ. ١٣ 13
Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
لِهَذَا أُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي سُورِ رَبَّةَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا فِي مُعْتَرَكِ جَلَبَةِ يَوْمِ الْحَرْبِ، وَفِي وَسَطِ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الزَّوْبَعَةِ. ١٤ 14
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
وَيُسَاقُ مَلِكُهُمْ إِلَى السَّبْيِ مَعَ سَائِرِ رُؤَسَائِهِ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.
