Amos 8
1 This is what the LORD showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
| כֹּ֥ה הִרְאַ֖נִי אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה וְהִנֵּ֖ה כְּל֥וּב קָֽיִץ׃ |
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
| וַיֹּ֗אמֶר מָֽה־אַתָּ֤ה רֹאֶה֙ עָמֹ֔וס וָאֹמַ֖ר כְּל֣וּב קָ֑יִץ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י בָּ֤א הַקֵּץ֙ אֶל־עַמִּ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹא־אֹוסִ֥יף עֹ֖וד עֲבֹ֥ור לֹֽו׃ |
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says the LORD. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
| וְהֵילִ֜ילוּ שִׁירֹ֤ות הֵיכָל֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה רַ֣ב הַפֶּ֔גֶר בְּכָל־מָקֹ֖ום הִשְׁלִ֥יךְ הָֽס׃ פ |
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
| שִׁמְעוּ־זֹ֕את הַשֹּׁאֲפִ֖ים אֶבְיֹ֑ון וְלַשְׁבִּ֖ית עַנְוֵי־ (עֲנִיֵּי)־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
| לֵאמֹ֗ר מָתַ֞י יַעֲבֹ֤ר הַחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ וְנַשְׁבִּ֣ירָה שֶּׁ֔בֶר וְהַשַּׁבָּ֖ת וְנִפְתְּחָה־בָּ֑ר לְהַקְטִ֤ין אֵיפָה֙ וּלְהַגְדִּ֣יל שֶׁ֔קֶל וּלְעַוֵּ֖ת מֹאזְנֵ֥י מִרְמָֽה׃ |
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
| לִקְנֹ֤ות בַּכֶּ֙סֶף֙ דַּלִּ֔ים וְאֶבְיֹ֖ון בַּעֲב֣וּר נַעֲלָ֑יִם וּמַפַּ֥ל בַּ֖ר נַשְׁבִּֽיר׃ |
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
| נִשְׁבַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה בִּגְאֹ֣ון יַעֲקֹ֑ב אִם־אֶשְׁכַּ֥ח לָנֶ֖צַח כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ |
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
| הַ֤עַל זֹאת֙ לֹֽא־תִרְגַּ֣ז הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאָבַ֖ל כָּל־יֹושֵׁ֣ב בָּ֑הּ וְעָלְתָ֤ה כָאֹר֙ כֻּלָּ֔הּ וְנִגְרְשָׁ֥ה וְנִשְׁקָה (וְנִשְׁקְעָ֖ה) כִּיאֹ֥ור מִצְרָֽיִם׃ ס |
9 It will happen in that day," says the LORD, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
| וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ בַּֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּ֥י לָאָ֖רֶץ בְּיֹ֥ום אֹֽור׃ |
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
| וְהָפַכְתִּ֨י חַגֵּיכֶ֜ם לְאֵ֗בֶל וְכָל־שִֽׁירֵיכֶם֙ לְקִינָ֔ה וְהַעֲלֵיתִ֤י עַל־כָּל־מָתְנַ֙יִם֙ שָׂ֔ק וְעַל־כָּל־רֹ֖אשׁ קָרְחָ֑ה וְשַׂמְתִּ֙יהָ֙ כְּאֵ֣בֶל יָחִ֔יד וְאַחֲרִיתָ֖הּ כְּיֹ֥ום מָֽר׃ |
11 Look, the days come," says the LORD, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the LORD.
| הִנֵּ֣ה ׀ יָמִ֣ים בָּאִ֗ים נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּ֥י רָעָ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־רָעָ֤ב לַלֶּ֙חֶם֙ וְלֹֽא־צָמָ֣א לַמַּ֔יִם כִּ֣י אִם־לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ אֵ֖ת דִּבְרֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of the LORD, and will not find it.
| וְנָעוּ֙ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֔ם וּמִצָּפֹ֖ון וְעַד־מִזְרָ֑ח יְשֹֽׁוטְט֛וּ לְבַקֵּ֥שׁ אֶת־דְּבַר־יְהוָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א יִמְצָֽאוּ׃ |
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
| בַּיֹּ֨ום הַה֜וּא תִּ֠תְעַלַּפְנָה הַבְּתוּלֹ֧ת הַיָּפֹ֛ות וְהַבַּחוּרִ֖ים בַּצָּמָֽא׃ |
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
| הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים֙ בְּאַשְׁמַ֣ת שֹֽׁמְרֹ֔ון וְאָמְר֗וּ חֵ֤י אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ דָּ֔ן וְחֵ֖י דֶּ֣רֶךְ בְּאֵֽר־שָׁ֑בַע וְנָפְל֖וּ וְלֹא־יָק֥וּמוּ עֹֽוד׃ ס |
