< Amos 1 >

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning 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 earthquake.
هَذِهِ كَلِمَاتُ عَامُوسَ الَّذِي كَانَ رَاعِياً مِنْ رُعَاةِ تَقُوعَ، يُنْبِئُ فِيهَا بِمَا رَآهُ بِشَأْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَبْلَ وُقُوعِ الزَّلْزَلَةِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ.١
2 He said: "The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
قَالَ: «يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيُدَوِّي بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتَنْتَحِبُ مَرَاعِي الرُّعَاةِ، وَتَذْوِي قِمَّةُ الْكَرْمَلِ.٢
3 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي دِمَشْقَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا قَدْ دَاسُوا شَعْبِي فِي جِلْعَادَ بِنَوَارِجَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.٣
4 but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
لِذَلِكَ أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى بَيْتِ حَزَائِيلَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ بَنْهَدَدَ.٤
5 I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says the LORD.
وَأُحَطِّمُ مِزْلاجَ دِمَشْقَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ أَهْلَ وَادِي آوَنَ، وَأُهْلِكُ حَامِلَ صَوْلَجَانِ مُلْكِ بَيْتِ عَدْنٍ، وَيُسَاقُ شَعْبُ أَرَامَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ إِلَى أَرْضِ قِيرَ.٥
6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي غَزَّةَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا نَفَوْا شَعْباً عَنْ آخِرِهِ لِيُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى أَدُومَ.٦
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
لِذَلِكَ سَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى أَسْوَارِ غَزَّةَ تَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا.٧
8 I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says the LORD.
وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ أَهْلَ أَشْدُودَ، وَأُهْلِكُ حَامِلَ صَوْلَجَانِ مُلْكِ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَأُوَجِّهُ ضَرَبَاتِي ضِدَّ عَقْرُونَ فَيَفْنَى مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.٨
9 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي صُورَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهَا سَخَطِي، لأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا سَلَّمُوا شَعْباً بِكَامِلِهِ إِلَى أَدُومَ، وَنَقَضُوا عَهْدَ الإِخْوَةِ.٩
10 but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
لِهَذَا أُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى أَسْوَارِ صُورَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا.١٠
11 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي أَدُومَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ تَعَقَّبُوا إِخْوَتَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَتَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كُلِّ رَحْمَةٍ، وَجَعَلُوا غَضَبَهُمْ يَتَأَجَّجُ مُلْتَهِماً بِاسْتِمْرَارٍ، وَظَلُّوا حَاقِدِينَ عَلَى الدَّوَامِ.١١
12 but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah."
فَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى تَيْمَانَ، فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَ بُصْرَةَ.١٢
13 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعَاصِي الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الثَّلاثِ وَالأَرْبَعِ لَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ سَخَطِي، لأَنَّهُمْ شَقُّوا بُطُونَ الْحَوَامِلِ فِي جِلْعَادَ لِيُوَسِّعُوا تُخُمَهُمْ.١٣
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
لِهَذَا أُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِي سُورِ رَبَّةَ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهَا فِي مُعْتَرَكِ جَلَبَةِ يَوْمِ الْحَرْبِ، وَفِي وَسَطِ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الزَّوْبَعَةِ.١٤
15 and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says the LORD.
وَيُسَاقُ مَلِكُهُمْ إِلَى السَّبْيِ مَعَ سَائِرِ رُؤَسَائِهِ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.١٥
