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.

This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

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

I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

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

I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.

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.

This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.

٥ 5 لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses 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.

This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.

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

They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.

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

They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.

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 I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.

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

Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.

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

I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.

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

But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

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

Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.

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

The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.

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

The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.

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

Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
