Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.

١ 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.

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

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

3 Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

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

4 Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

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

5 For the Lord, the GOD of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

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

6 It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—the LORD is his name.

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

7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

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

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says the LORD.

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

9 “For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

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

10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil will not overtake nor meet us.’

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

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

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

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this.

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

13 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

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

14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

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

15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.

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