< Amos 5 >
1 Hear all of you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on you a lamentation O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
She has fallen not she will repeat to rise [the] virgin of Israel she has been abandoned on own land her there not [is one who] raises up her.
3 For thus says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the city which goes out a thousand it will have left a hundred and which goes out a hundred it will have left ten of [the] house of Israel.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek all of you me, and all of you shall live:
For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
And may not you seek Beth-el and Gilgal not you must go and Beer Sheba not you must pass over for Gilgal certainly it will go into exile and Beth-el it will become trouble.
6 Seek the LORD, and all of you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
Seek Yahweh and live lest he should rush like fire [the] house of Joseph and it will consume and not [one who] extinguishes [it] [will belong] to Beth-el.
7 All of you who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
8 Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
[the] maker of Pleiades and Orion and [the one who] turns into morning deep darkness and day night he makes dark the [one who] summons [the] waters of the sea and he poured out them on [the] surface of the earth [is] Yahweh name his.
9 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they detest him that speaks uprightly.
They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and all of you take from him burdens of wheat: all of you have built houses of hewn stone, but all of you shall not dwell in them; all of you have planted pleasant vineyards, but all of you shall not drink wine of them.
Therefore because trample you on [the] poor and a portion of grain you take from him houses of hewn [stone] you have built and not you will dwell in them vineyards of delight you have planted and not you will drink wine their.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
For I know many transgressions your and numerous sins your O opposers of [the] righteous O takers of ransom and needy [people] in the gate they turn aside.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that all of you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as all of you have spoken.
Seek good and may not [it be] evil so that you will live and it may be thus Yahweh God of hosts [will be] with you just as you have said.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Hate evil and love good and set up in the gate justice perhaps he will show favor to Yahweh God of hosts [the] remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh God of hosts [the] Lord [will be] in all [the] open places wailing and in all [the] streets people will say alas! alas! and people will call a farmer to mourning and wailing to [those who] know lamentation.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says the LORD.
And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Woe to! those [who] desire [the] day of Yahweh why? this to you [the] day of Yahweh it [will be] darkness and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Just as he flees someone from before the lion and it meets him the bear and he goes the house and he leans hand his on the wall and it bites him the snake.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
22 Though all of you offer me burnt offerings and your food offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
That except you will offer up to me burnt offerings and grain offerings your not I will accept [them] and [the] peace offering of fatlings your not I will pay attention to.
23 Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
25 Have all of you offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] O house of Israel.
26 But all of you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which all of you made to yourselves.
And you will lift up Sikkuth king your and Kiyyun images your [the] star of gods your which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
