< عامُوس 7 >

وَهَذَا مَا أَرَانِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا هُوَ يُعِدُّ أَسْرَابَ جَرَادٍ فِي بَدْءِ نُمُوِّ الأَعْشَابِ الْمُتَأَخِّرَةِ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَمَّ جَزُّ نَصِيبِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْهَا. ١ 1
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغَ الْجَرَادُ مِنِ الْتِهَامِ عُشْبِ الأَرْضِ، قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، اصْفَحْ عَنْ شَعْبِكَ. إِذْ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ، فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ؟» ٢ 2
It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
فَعَفَا الرَّبُّ عَنْ هَذَا وَقَالَ: «لَنْ يَحْدُثَ مَا رَأَيْتَهُ». ٣ 3
The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD.
ثُمَّ هَذَا مَا أَرَانِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: شَاهَدْتُ السَّيِّدَ الرَّبَّ يَدْعُو لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ بِالنَّارِ الَّتِي لَعَقَتِ الْبَحْرَ الْعَظِيمَ فَجَفَّ، وَأَكَلَتِ الْحُقُولَ. ٤ 4
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, the LORD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، كُفَّ عَنْ هَذَا، إِذْ كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ، فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ؟» ٥ 5
Then I said, "LORD, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
فَعَفَا الرَّبُّ عَنْ هَذَا، وَقَالَ: «لَنْ يَحْدُثَ مَا رَأَيْتَهُ». ٦ 6
The LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the LORD.
ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ، وَإذَا الرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ بِجِوَارِ حَائِطٍ مَبْنِيٍّ، وَفِي يَدِهِ مِيزَانُ الْبِنَاءِ. ٧ 7
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «يَا عَامُوسُ، مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «مِيزَانَ الْبِنَاءِ». فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَمُدُّ مِيزَانَ الْبِنَاءِ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَنْ أَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ. ٨ 8
And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the LORD said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
فَتُقْفِرُ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْتَرِي الْخَرَابُ مَقَادِسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَثُورُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بِالسَّيْفِ». ٩ 9
The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
فَأَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا كَاهِنُ بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «قَدْ تَآمَرَ عَلَيْكَ عَامُوسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا تُطِيقُ الأَرْضُ تَحَمُّلَ كُلِّ تَنَبُّؤَاتِهِ ١٠ 10
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ عَامُوسُ: إِنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ يَمُوتُ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ بَعِيداً عَنْ دِيَارِهِ». ١١ 11
For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِعَامُوسَ: «اهْرُبْ أَيُّهَا الرَّائِي إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا، وَكُلْ خُبْزاً هُنَاكَ وَتَنَبَّأْ فِيهَا. ١٢ 12
Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
أَمَّا بَيْتُ إِيلَ فَلا تَعُدْ لِلتَّنَبُّؤِ فِيهَا، لأَنَّهَا مَقْدِسُ الْمَلِكِ وَمَقَرُّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ». ١٣ 13
but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house."
فَأَجَابَ عَامُوسُ: «أَنَا لَمْ أَكُنْ نَبِيًّا وَلا ابْنَ نَبِيٍّ، إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَاعِي غَنَمٍ وَجَانِي جُمَّيْزٍ، ١٤ 14
Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
فَاصْطَفَانِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْغَنَمِ وَأَمَرَنِي قَائِلاً: اذْهَبْ تَنَبَّأْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٥ 15
and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِ الآنَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا تُهَاجِمْ بَيْتَ إِسْحَاقَ. ١٦ 16
Now therefore listen to the word of the LORD: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim against the house of Isaac.'
لِهَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: سَتُصْبِحُ امْرَأَتُكَ عَاهِرَةً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَيُقْتَلُ أَبْنَاؤُكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتُقْسَمُ أَرْضُكَ بِالْحَبْلِ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَمُوتُ فِي أَرْضِ الأُمَمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ عَنْ دِيَارِهِ». ١٧ 17
Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
