Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
| اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُنَادِي بِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ، مَرْثَاةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١ |
2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
| «سَقَطَتْ عَذْرَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا تَعُودُ تَقُومُ. ٱنْطَرَحَتْ عَلَى أَرْضِهَا لَيْسَ مَنْ يُقِيمُهَا». | ٢ |
3 For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves 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 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «ٱطْلُبُوا فَتَحْيَوْا. | ٤ |
5 And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
| وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا بَيْتَ إِيلَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ لَا تَذْهَبُوا، وَإِلَى بِئْرَ سَبْعٍ لَا تَعْبُرُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِلْجَالَ تُسْبَى سَبْيًا، وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ تَصِيرُ عَدَمًا». | ٥ |
6 Seek YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ فَتَحْيَوْا لِئَلَّا يَقْتَحِمَ بَيْتَ يُوسُفَ كَنَارٍ تُحْرِقُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مَنْ يُطْفِئُهَا مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَوِّلُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا، وَيُلْقُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٧ |
8 The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [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 is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
| ٱلَّذِي يُفْلِحُ ٱلْخَرِبَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوِيِّ، فَيَأْتِي ٱلْخَرِبُ عَلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ. | ٩ |
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
| إِنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَابِ يُبْغِضُونَ ٱلْمُنْذِرَ، وَيَكْرَهُونَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. | ١٠ |
11 Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
| 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 have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.
| لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ذُنُوبَكُمْ كَثِيرَةٌ وَخَطَايَاكُمْ وَافِرَةٌ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُضَايِقُونَ ٱلْبَارَّ، ٱلْآخِذُونَ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ، ٱلصَّادُّونَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ. | ١٢ |
13 Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
| لِذَلِكَ يَصْمُتُ ٱلْعَاقِلُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ لِأَنَّهُ زَمَانٌ رَدِيءٌ. | ١٣ |
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلْخَيْرَ لَا ٱلشَّرَّ لِكَىْ تَحْيَوْا، فَعَلَى هَذَا يَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ مَعَكُمْ كَمَا قُلْتُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities the remnant of Joseph.
| اُبْغُضُوا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْخَيْرَ، وَثَبِّتُوا ٱلْحَقَّ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، لَعَلَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ يُوسُفَ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
| 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 in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
| وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكُرُومِ نَدْبٌ، لِأَنِّي أَعْبُرُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٧ |
18 Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? It is darkness, and not light,
| وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَشْتَهُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ! لِمَاذَا لَكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ هُوَ ظَلَامٌ لَا نُورٌ. | ١٨ |
19 As [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten 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 YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
| أَلَيْسَ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ظَلَامًا لَا نُورًا، وَقَتَامًا وَلَا نُورَ لَهُ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
| «بَغَضْتُ، كَرِهْتُ أَعْيَادَكُمْ، وَلَسْتُ أَلْتَذُّ بِٱعْتِكَافَاتِكُمْ. | ٢١ |
22 For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
| إِنِّي إِذَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَتَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ لَا أَرْتَضِي، وَذَبَائِحَ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ مِنْ مُسَمَّنَاتِكُمْ لَا أَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهَا. | ٢٢ |
23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
| أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي ضَجَّةَ أَغَانِيكَ، وَنَغْمَةَ رَبَابِكَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. | ٢٣ |
24 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
| وَلْيَجْرِ ٱلْحَقُّ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلْبِرُّ كَنَهْرٍ دَائِمٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
| «هَلْ قَدَّمْتُمْ لِي ذَبَائِحَ وَتَقْدِمَاتٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٢٥ |
26 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
| بَلْ حَمَلْتُمْ خَيْمَةَ مَلْكُومِكُمْ، وَتِمْثَالَ أَصْنَامِكُمْ، نَجْمَ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ لِنُفُوسِكُمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
| فَأَسْبِيكُمْ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَ دِمَشْقَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ». | ٢٧ |
