عامُوس 4

١ 1 اسْمَعِي هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ يَا نِسَاءَ بَاشَانَ، اللَّوَاتِي يُقِمْنَ فِي جَبَلِ السَّامِرَةِ، مِمَّنْ يَظْلِمْنَ الْمِسْكِينَ وَيَسْحَقْنَ الْفُقَرَاءَ وَاللَّوَاتِي يَقُلْنَ لأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ: هَاتُوا مُسْكِراً لِنَشْرَبَ.

Hear this word, ye cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

٢ 2 قَدْ أَقْسَمَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ بِقَدَاسَتِهِ قَائِلاً: هَا أَيَّامٌ تُقْبِلُ عَلَيْكُنَّ، يَجُرُّكُنَّ فِيهَا الْعَدُوُّ بِالْكَلالِيبِ وَذُرِّيَّتَكُنَّ بِشُصُوصِ السَّمَكِ.

The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

٣ 3 وَتَخْرُجُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ مِنْ شَقٍّ، زَاحِفَةً عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، وَتُطْرَدْنَ إِلَى هَرْمُونَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.

٤ 4 تَعَالَوْا إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَارْتَكِبُوا الْمَعَاصِي، وَأَقْبِلُوا إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ وَكَثِّرُوا ذُنُوبَكُمْ. قَرِّبُوا ذَبَائِحَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، وَعُشُورَكُمْ كُلَّ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ.

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

٥ 5 قَدِّمُوا مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ قُرْبَانَ شُكْرٍ، وَأَعْلِنُوا مُتَبَاهِينَ عَنْ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمُ التَّطَوُّعِيَّةِ، وَتَفَاخَرُوا بِها، لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوهُ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and declare the free offerings: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

٦ 6 قَدْ جَعَلْتُ الْجُوعَ يَعُمُّ مُدُنَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَتَّسِخْ أَسْنَانُكُمْ بِالطَّعَامِ! وَأَفْقَرْتُكُمْ إِلَى الْخُبْزِ فِي كُلِّ أَمَاكِنِ سُكْنَاكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ تَائِبِينَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.

٧ 7 مَنَعْتُ عَنْكُمُ الْمَطَرَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ بَقِيَ لِلْحَصَادِ سِوَى ثَلاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ، وَأَمْطَرْتُ عَلَى مَدِينَةٍ دُونَ مَدِينَةٍ، وَعَلَى حَقْلٍ دُونَ الآخَرِ، فَجَفَّ الْحَقْلُ الَّذِي لَمْ أُمْطِرْ عَلَيْهِ.

And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it rained not withered.

٨ 8 فَأَقْبَلَتْ مَدِينَتَانِ أَوْ ثَلاثٌ عَلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِتَشْرَبَ مَاءً، وَلَكِنَّهَا لَمْ تَرْتَوِ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ تَائِبِينَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.

٩ 9 أَرْسَلْتُ الرِّيَاحَ اللّافِحَةَ وَالْيَرَقَانَ لِتُجَفِّفَ مَحَاصِيلَكُمْ، وَالْتَهَمَ الْجَرَادُ حَدَائِقَكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ وَأَشْجَارَ تِينِكُمْ وَزَيْتُونِكُمْ. وَمَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيَّ!

I have smitten you with blighting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.

١٠ 10 أَصَبْتُكُمْ بِالأَوْبِئَةِ الَّتِي أُصِيبَتْ بِها مِصْرُ، وَقَضَيْتُ عَلَى شَبَابِكُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ وَسَبَيْتُ خُيُولَكُمْ، وَجَعَلْتُ نَتْنَ مُعَسْكَرِكُمْ يَزْكُمُ أُنُوفَكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ تَائِبِينَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.

١١ 11 دَمَّرْتُ بَعْضَ مُدُنِكُمْ كَمَا دَمَّرَ اللهُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، فَكَانَ مَنْ نَجَا مِنْكُمْ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُنْتَشَلَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ تَائِبِينَ.

I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned to me, saith the LORD.

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا أُجْرِيهِ عَلَيْكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. فَمِنْ أَجْلِ مَا أَصْنَعُهُ بِكَ تَأَهَّبْ لِلِقَاءِ إِلَهِكَ.

Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: and because I will do this to thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

١٣ 13 فَانْظُرْ إِنَّهُ هُوَ صَانِعُ الْجِبَالِ وَخَالِقُ الرِّيَاحِ، الَّذِي أَعْلَنَ فِكْرَهُ لِلْبَشَرِ، وَأَحَالَ النَّهَارَ إِلَى لَيْلٍ، وَمَشَى فَوْقَ مَشَارِفِ الأَرْضِ، الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْقَدِيرُ اسْمُهُ.

For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth to man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
