Amos 8
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, a basket of summer fruite.
| כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִנֵּה כְּלוּב קָֽיִץ׃ |
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A basket of sommer fruite. Then sayd the Lord vnto me, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel, I wil passe by them no more.
| וַיֹּאמֶר מָֽה־אַתָּה רֹאֶה עָמוֹס וָאֹמַר כְּלוּב קָיִץ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי בָּא הַקֵּץ אֶל־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אוֹסִיף עוֹד עֲבוֹר לֽוֹ׃ |
3 And the songs of the Temple shalbe howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: many dead bodies shalbe in euery place: they shall cast them forth with silence.
| וְהֵילִילוּ שִׁירוֹת הֵיכָל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה רַב הַפֶּגֶר בְּכׇל־מָקוֹם הִשְׁלִיךְ הָֽס׃ |
4 Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,
| שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת הַשֹּׁאֲפִים אֶבְיוֹן וְלַשְׁבִּית (ענוי) [עֲנִיֵּי־]אָֽרֶץ׃ |
5 Saying, When will the newe moneth bee gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheate, and make the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifie the weights by deceit?
| לֵאמֹר מָתַי יַעֲבֹר הַחֹדֶשׁ וְנַשְׁבִּירָה שֶּׁבֶר וְהַשַּׁבָּת וְנִפְתְּחָה־בָּר לְהַקְטִין אֵיפָה וּלְהַגְדִּיל שֶׁקֶל וּלְעַוֵּת מֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָֽה׃ |
6 That we may buy the poore for siluer, and the needie for shooes: yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate.
| לִקְנוֹת בַּכֶּסֶף דַּלִּים וְאֶבְיוֹן בַּעֲבוּר נַעֲלָיִם וּמַפַּל בַּר נַשְׁבִּֽיר׃ |
7 The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iaakob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.
| נִשְׁבַּע יְהֹוָה בִּגְאוֹן יַעֲקֹב אִם־אֶשְׁכַּח לָנֶצַח כׇּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ |
8 Shall not the lande tremble for this, and euery one mourne, that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholy as a flood, and it shall bee cast out, and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
| הַעַל זֹאת לֹא־תִרְגַּז הָאָרֶץ וְאָבַל כׇּל־יוֹשֵׁב בָּהּ וְעָלְתָה כָאֹר כֻּלָּהּ וְנִגְרְשָׁה (ונשקה) [וְנִשְׁקְעָה] כִּיאוֹר מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
9 And in that day, saith the Lord God, I will euen cause the sunne to go downe at noone: and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.
| וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהֵבֵאתִי הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בַּֽצׇּהֳרָיִם וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּי לָאָרֶץ בְּיוֹם אֽוֹר׃ |
10 And I will turne your feastes into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnes vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the ende thereof as a bitter day.
| וְהָפַכְתִּי חַגֵּיכֶם לְאֵבֶל וְכׇל־שִֽׁירֵיכֶם לְקִינָה וְהַעֲלֵיתִי עַל־כׇּל־מׇתְנַיִם שָׂק וְעַל־כׇּל־רֹאשׁ קׇרְחָה וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ כְּאֵבֶל יָחִיד וְאַחֲרִיתָהּ כְּיוֹם מָֽר׃ |
11 Beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the lande, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
| הִנֵּה ׀ יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּי רָעָב בָּאָרֶץ לֹא־רָעָב לַלֶּחֶם וְלֹֽא־צָמָא לַמַּיִם כִּי אִם־לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת דִּבְרֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North euen vnto the East shall they run to and from to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.
| וְנָעוּ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִצָּפוֹן וְעַד־מִזְרָח יְשׁוֹטְטוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא יִמְצָֽאוּ׃ |
13 In that day shall the faire virgines and the yong men perish for thirst.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא תִּתְעַלַּפְנָה הַבְּתוּלֹת הַיָּפוֹת וְהַבַּחוּרִים בַּצָּמָֽא׃ |
14 They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and that say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the maner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.
| הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים בְּאַשְׁמַת שֹֽׁמְרוֹן וְאָמְרוּ חֵי אֱלֹהֶיךָ דָּן וְחֵי דֶּרֶךְ בְּאֵֽר־שָׁבַע וְנָפְלוּ וְלֹא־יָקוּמוּ עֽוֹד׃ |
