Amos 5
1 Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
| اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُنَادِي بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ، مَرْثَاةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١ |
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
| «سَقَطَتْ عَذْرَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ. ٱنْطَرَحَتْ عَلَى أَرْضِهَا لَيْسَ مَنْ يُقِيمُهَا». | ٢ |
3 Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْخَارِجَةُ بِأَلْفٍ، يَبْقَى لَهَا مِئَةٌ، وَٱلْخَارِجَةُ بِمِئَةٍ يَبْقَى لَهَا عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٣ |
4 Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱطْلُبُوا فَتَحْيَوْا. | ٤ |
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
| وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا بَيْتَ إِيلَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ لَا تَذْهَبُوا، وَإِلَى بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ لَا تَعْبُرُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِلْجَالَ تُسْبَى سَبْيًا، وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ تَصِيرُ عَدَمًا». | ٥ |
6 Seek you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ فَتَحْيَوْا لِئَلَّا يَقْتَحِمَ بَيْتَ يُوسُفَ كَنَارٍ تُحْرِقُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُطْفِئُهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 [It is he] that executes judgement in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَوِّلُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا، وَيُلْقُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٧ |
8 who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
| اَلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلثُّرَيَّا وَٱلْجَبَّارَ، وَيُحَوِّلُ ظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ صُبْحًا، وَيُظْلِمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ كَٱللَّيْلِ. ٱلَّذِي يَدْعُو مِيَاهَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَيَصُبُّهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ. | ٨ |
9 who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
| ٱلَّذِي يُفْلِحُ ٱلْخَرِبَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوِيِّ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلْخَرِبُ عَلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. | ٩ |
10 They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
| إِنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَابِ يُبْغِضُونَ ٱلْمُنْذِرَ، وَيَكْرَهُونَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. | ١٠ |
11 Therefore because they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.
| لِذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ تَدُوسُونَ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ، وَتَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ هَدِيَّةَ قَمْحٍ، بَنَيْتُمْ بُيُوتًا مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ وَلَا تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا، وَغَرَسْتُمْ كُرُومًا شَهِيَّةً وَلَا تَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَهَا. | ١١ |
12 For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgement of] the poor in the gates.
| لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ذُنُوبَكُمْ كَثِيرَةٌ وَخَطَايَاكُمْ وَافِرَةٌ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُضَايِقُونَ ٱلْبَارَّ، ٱلْآخِذُونَ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ، ٱلصَّادُّونَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ. | ١٢ |
13 Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
| لِذَلِكَ يَصْمُتُ ٱلْعَاقِلُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ لِأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ. | ١٣ |
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلْخَيْرَ لَا ٱلشَّرَّ لِكَىْ تَحْيَوْا، فَعَلَى هَذَا يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ مَعَكُمْ كَمَا قُلْتُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgement in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
| اُبْغُضُوا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْخَيْرَ، وَثَبِّتُوا ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ يُوسُفَ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ نَحِيبٌ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَزِقَّةِ يَقُولُونَ: آهِ! آهِ! وَيَدْعُونَ ٱلْفَلَّاحَ إِلَى ٱلنَّوْحِ، وَجَمِيعَ عَارِفِي ٱلرِّثَاءِ لِلنَّدْبِ. | ١٦ |
17 And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says the Lord.
| وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكُرُومِ نَدْبٌ، لِأَنِّي أَعْبُرُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ |
18 Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light.
| وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَشْتَهُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ! لِمَاذَا لَكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ هُوَ ظَلَامٌ لَا نُورٌ. | ١٨ |
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
| كَمَا إِذَا هَرَبَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْأَسَدِ فَصَادَفَهُ ٱلدُّبُّ، أَوْ دَخَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ فَلَدَغَتْهُ ٱلْحَيَّةُ! | ١٩ |
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
| أَلَيْسَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ظَلَامًا لَا نُورًا، وَقَتَامًا وَلَا نُورَ لَهُ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies.
| «بَغَضْتُ، كَرِهْتُ أَعْيَادَكُمْ، وَلَسْتُ أَلْتَذُّ بِٱعْتِكَافَاتِكُمْ. | ٢١ |
22 Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
| إِنِّي إِذَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَتَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ لَا أَرْتَضِي، وَذَبَائِحَ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ مِنْ مُسَمَّنَاتِكُمْ لَا أَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا. | ٢٢ |
23 Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.
| أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي ضَجَّةَ أَغَانِيكَ، وَنَغْمَةَ رَبَابِكَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. | ٢٣ |
24 But let judgement roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.
| وَلْيَجْرِ ٱلْحَقُّ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلْبِرُّ كَنَهْرٍ دَائِمٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
| «هَلْ قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي ذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٥ |
26 Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for yourselves.
| بَلْ حَمَلْتُمْ خَيْمَةَ مَلْكُومِكُمْ، وَتِمْثَالَ أَصْنَامِكُمْ، نَجْمَ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
| فَأَسْبِيكُمْ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَ دِمَشْقَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ». | ٢٧ |
