عامُوس 9

١ 1 وَرَأَيْتُ السَّيِّدَ وَاقِفاً إِلَى جُوَارِ الْمَذْبَحِ قَائِلاً: «اضْرِبْ تِيجَانَ الأَعْمِدَةِ حَتَّى تَهْتَزَّ الْعَتَبَاتُ، وَحَطِّمْهَا عَلَى رُؤُوسِ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ. وَمَنْ يَنْجُو مِنْهُمْ أُهْلِكُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَلا يَهْرُبُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ وَلا يُفْلِتُ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

٢ 2 وَإِنْ نَقَبُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَلْجَأً فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَإِنَّ يَدِي تَطُولُهُمْ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنِ ارْتَقَوْا إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُنْزِلُهُمْ. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

٣ 3 وَإِنِ اخْتَبَأُوا فِي أَعَالِي الْكَرْمَلِ فَهُنَاكَ أَبْحَثُ عَنْهُمْ وَأَعْتَقِلُهُمْ. وَإِنْ تَوَارَوْا عَنِّي فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْبَحْرِ فَإِنِّي آمُرُ هُنَاكَ الْحَيَّةَ فَتَلْدَغُهُمْ.

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them.

٤ 4 وَإِنْ سِيقُوا إِلَى السَّبْيِ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ أُلاحِقُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ لأَفْنِيَهُمْ، وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ لأَبْتَلِيَهُمْ بِالشَّرِّ لَا بِالْخَيْرِ».

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

٥ 5 إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ الْقَدِيرَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَلْمَسُ الأَرْضَ فَتَذُوبُ، وَيَنُوحُ كُلُّ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا، وَيَرْتَفِعُ كُلُّ مَا فِيهَا وَيَنْخَفِضُ كَنَهْرِ نِيلِ مِصْرَ.

For the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, [is] he that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River, and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt;

٦ 6 هُوَ الَّذِي يَبْنِي مَخَادِعَهُ الْعُلْيَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُؤَسِّسُ قُبَّتَهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، الَّذِي يَدْعُو مِيَاهَ الْبَحْرِ وَيَسْكُبُهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الثَّرَى، الرَّبُّ اسْمُهُ.

[it is] he that buildeth his chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; Jehovah is his name.

٧ 7 أَلَسْتُمْ لِي يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِثْلَ الْكُوشِيِّينَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ؟ أَلَمْ أُخْرِجْ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ كَفْتُورَ وَالأَرَامِيِّينَ مِنْ قِيرٍ.

Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

٨ 8 هَا إِنَّ عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مُسَلَّطَتَانِ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْخَاطِئَةِ لأَمْحُوَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، إِلّا أَنِّي لَنْ أَسْتَأْصِلَ بَيْتَ يَعْقُوبَ قَاطِبَةً يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.

٩ 9 أُغَرْبِلُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ كَمَا تُغَرْبَلُ الْحِنْطَةُ فِي غُرْبَالٍ، فَلا تَسْقُطُ حَبَّةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as [grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth.

١٠ 10 وَيَمُوتُ جَمِيعُ خُطَاةِ شَعْبِي بِالسَّيْفِ مِمَّنْ يَقُولُونَ: لَنْ يُدْرِكَنَا الشَّرُّ أَوْ يَلْقَانَا.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us.

١١ 11 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أُقِيمُ مَسْكَنَ دَاوُدَ الَّذِي تَهَاوَى، وَأَسُدُّ ثُغْرَاتِهِ وَأُعَمِّرُ خَرَائِبَهُ وَأُعِيدُ بِنَاءَهُ كَالْعَهْدِ بِهِ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

١٢ 12 لِكَيْ يَرِثَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَا تَبَقَّى مِنْ أَدُومَ وَجَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي دُعِيَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهَا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ صَانِعُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ.

that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, saith Jehovah that doeth this.

١٣ 13 هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، يُدْرِكُ فِيهَا الْحَارِثُ الْحَاصِدَ، وَدَائِسُ الْعِنَبِ بَاذِرَ الْحَبِّ، وَتَسِيلُ الْخُمورُ الطَّيِّبَةُ مِنْ كُرُومِ الْجِبَالِ وَتَفِيضُ بِها التِّلالُ كُلُّهَا.

Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

١٤ 14 وَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيُعِيدُونَ بِنَاءَ الْمُدُنِ الْخَرِبَةِ وَيَسْكُنُونَهَا، وَيَزْرَعُونَ كُرُوماً وَيَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ خَمْرِهَا، وَيَغْرِسُونَ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ثِمَارِهَا.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

١٥ 15 وَأَغْرِسُ شَعْبِي فِي أَرْضِهِمْ فَلا يُسْتَأْصَلُونَ ثَانِيَةً أَبَداً مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith Jehovah thy God.
