< Amos 1 >

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.
أَقْوَالُ عَامُوسَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ بَيْنَ ٱلرُّعَاةِ مِنْ تَقُوعَ ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَبْلَ ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ.١
2 And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُزَمْجِرُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتَنُوحُ مَرَاعِي ٱلرُّعَاةِ وَيَيْبَسُ رَأْسُ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ».٢
3 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ دِمَشْقَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ دَاسُوا جِلْعَادَ بِنَوَارِجَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.٣
4 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى بَيْتِ حَزَائِيلَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ.٤
5 And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.
وَأُكَسِّرُ مِغْلَاقَ دِمَشْقَ، وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسَّاكِنَ مِنْ بُقْعَةِ آوَنَ، وَمَاسِكَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ مِنْ بَيْتِ عَدْنٍ، وَيُسْبَى شَعْبُ أَرَامَ إِلَى قِيرَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ».٥
6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ غَزَّةَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَبَوْا سَبْيًا كَامِلًا لِكَىْ يُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى أَدُومَ.٦
7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ غَزَّةَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا.٧
8 Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسَّاكِنَ مِنْ أَشْدُودَ، وَمَاسِكَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ مِنْ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى عَقْرُونَ، فَتَهْلِكُ بَقِيَّةُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».٨
9 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ صُورَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَلَّمُوا سَبْيًا كَامِلًا إِلَى أَدُومَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا عَهْدَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ.٩
10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ صُورَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا».١٠
11 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ أَدُومَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَبِعَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ أَخَاهُ، وَأَفْسَدَ مَرَاحِمَهُ، وَغضَبُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يَفْتَرِسُ، وَسَخَطُهُ يَحْفَظُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.١١
12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى تَيْمَانَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بُصْرَةَ».١٢
13 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ شَقُّوا حَوَامِلَ جِلْعَادَ لِكَيْ يُوَسِّعُوا تُخُومَهُمْ.١٣
14 And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:
فَأُضْرِمُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ رَبَّةَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا. بِجَلَبَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، بِنَوْءٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ.١٤
15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
وَيَمْضِي مَلِكُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ هُوَ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ جَمِيعًا، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ».١٥
