عامُوس 2

١ 1 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي مُوآبَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ مُوآبَ أَحْرَقَ عِظَامَ مَلِكِ أَدُومَ حَتَّى صَارَتْ كِلْساً.

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;

٢ 2 لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى مُوآبَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ قَرْيُوتَ، فَيَمُوتُ مُوآبُ فِي وَسَطِ الضَّجِيجِ وَصَيْحَاتِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ وَدَوِيِّ الأَبْوَاقِ.

And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;

٣ 3 وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ الْحَاكِمَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى كُلِّ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith the Lord.

٤ 4 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي يَهُوذَا الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ يُطِيعُوا فَرَائِضَهُ، فَأَضَلَّتْهُمْ أَكَاذِيبُهُمُ الَّتِي غَوَى وَرَاءَهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ.

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;

٥ 5 لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

٦ 6 هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ بَاعُوا الصِّدِّيقَ لِقَاءَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَالْبَائِسَ مُقَابِلَ نَعْلَيْنِ.

Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

٧ 7 الَّذِينَ يَسْحَقُونَ رَأْسَ الْمِسْكِينِ فِي التُّرَابِ، وَيَجُورُونَ عَلَى الْبَائِسِينَ، وَيُعَاشِرُ الرَّجُلُ وَابْنُهُ امْرَأَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَيَتَدَنَّسُ بِذَلِكَ اسْمِي الْمُقَدَّسُ.

That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.

٨ 8 يَرْقُدُونَ إِلَى جُوَارِ الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ ثِيَابٍ مَرْهُونَةٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِهِمْ خَمْرَ الْمُغَرَّمِينَ.

And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.

٩ 9 مَعَ أَنِّي أَهْلَكْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ ذَوِي الْقَامَاتِ الطَّوِيلَةِ كَأَشْجَارِ الأَرْزِ، الأَقْوِيَاءَ كَأَشْجَارِ الْبَلُّوطِ، أَتْلَفْتُ أَثْمَارَهُمْ عَلَى أَغْصَانِهَا، وَجُذُورَ أَشْجَارِهِمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأَرْضِ.

Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

١٠ 10 كَمَا أَخْرَجْتُكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ وَقُدْتُ طَرِيقَكُمْ عَبْرَ الصَّحْرَاءِ طَوَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لِتَرِثُوا أَرْضَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ.

And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.

١١ 11 وَأَقَمْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَائِكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَمِنْ فِتْيَانِكُمْ نَذِيرِينَ. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا صَحِيحاً يَا أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ؟

And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنَّكُمْ سَقَيْتُمُ النَّذِيرِينَ خَمْراً، وَأَمَرْتُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأُوا.

But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.

١٣ 13 هَأَنَذَا أَسْحَقُكُمْ فِي مَوَاضِعِكُمْ فَتَئِنُّونَ كَمَا تَئِنُّ عَرَبَةٌ تَحْتَ وَطْأَةِ ثِقْلِ أَكْدَاسِهَا.

Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.

١٤ 14 فَلا يُتَاحُ الْهَرَبُ لِلسَّرِيعِ، وَتَتَلاشَى قُوَّةُ الْجَبَّارِ، وَيَعْجِزُ الْقَوِيُّ عَنْ إِنْقَاذِ نَفْسِهِ.

And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.

١٥ 15 وَلا يَصْمُدُ رَامِي الْقَوْسِ وَلا يُصِيبُ الْهَدَفَ، وَلا يَسْلَمُ سَرِيعُ الْعَدْوِ، وَلا يَنْجُو رَاكِبُ الْفَرَسِ بِحَيَاتِهِ.

And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.

١٦ 16 وَالثَّابِتُ الْجَنَانِ بَيْنَ أَقْرَانِهِ الأَبْطَالِ يَفِرُّ عُرْيَاناً فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
