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 saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away [his punishment]: because he burned 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.

But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:

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

And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it, and will slay all its princes 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 saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked:

٥ 5 لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it 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 saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor 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 pant 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 to the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:

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

And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of their god.

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 hight [was] like the hight of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet 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.

Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

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

And I 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 gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

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

Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.

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

Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

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

Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

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

And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
