Amos 8
1 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
| כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִנֵּה כְּלוּב קָֽיִץ׃ |
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Jehovah said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
| וַיֹּאמֶר מָֽה־אַתָּה רֹאֶה עָמוֹס וָאֹמַר כְּלוּב קָיִץ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי בָּא הַקֵּץ אֶל־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אוֹסִיף עוֹד עֲבוֹר לֽוֹ׃ |
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says Jehovah. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
| וְהֵילִילוּ שִׁירוֹת הֵיכָל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה רַב הַפֶּגֶר בְּכׇל־מָקוֹם הִשְׁלִיךְ הָֽס׃ |
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
| שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת הַשֹּׁאֲפִים אֶבְיוֹן וְלַשְׁבִּית (ענוי) [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;
| לֵאמֹר מָתַי יַעֲבֹר הַחֹדֶשׁ וְנַשְׁבִּירָה שֶּׁבֶר וְהַשַּׁבָּת וְנִפְתְּחָה־בָּר לְהַקְטִין אֵיפָה וּלְהַגְדִּיל שֶׁקֶל וּלְעַוֵּת מֹאזְנֵי 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?'"
| לִקְנוֹת בַּכֶּסֶף דַּלִּים וְאֶבְיוֹן בַּעֲבוּר נַעֲלָיִם וּמַפַּל בַּר נַשְׁבִּֽיר׃ |
7 Jehovah has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
| נִשְׁבַּע יְהֹוָה בִּגְאוֹן יַעֲקֹב אִם־אֶשְׁכַּח לָנֶצַח כׇּל־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.
| הַעַל זֹאת לֹא־תִרְגַּז הָאָרֶץ וְאָבַל כׇּל־יוֹשֵׁב בָּהּ וְעָלְתָה כָאֹר כֻּלָּהּ וְנִגְרְשָׁה (ונשקה) [וְנִשְׁקְעָה] כִּיאוֹר מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
9 It will happen in that day," says Jehovah, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
| וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהֵבֵאתִי הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בַּֽצׇּהֳרָיִם וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּי לָאָרֶץ בְּיוֹם אֽוֹר׃ |
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.
| וְהָפַכְתִּי חַגֵּיכֶם לְאֵבֶל וְכׇל־שִֽׁירֵיכֶם לְקִינָה וְהַעֲלֵיתִי עַל־כׇּל־מׇתְנַיִם שָׂק וְעַל־כׇּל־רֹאשׁ קׇרְחָה וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ כְּאֵבֶל יָחִיד וְאַחֲרִיתָהּ כְּיוֹם מָֽר׃ |
11 Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "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 Jehovah.
| הִנֵּה ׀ יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּי רָעָב בָּאָרֶץ לֹא־רָעָב לַלֶּחֶם וְלֹֽא־צָמָא לַמַּיִם כִּי אִם־לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת דִּבְרֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
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 Jehovah, and will not find it.
| וְנָעוּ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִצָּפוֹן וְעַד־מִזְרָח יְשׁוֹטְטוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא יִמְצָֽאוּ׃ |
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא תִּתְעַלַּפְנָה הַבְּתוּלֹת הַיָּפוֹת וְהַבַּחוּרִים 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."
| הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים בְּאַשְׁמַת שֹֽׁמְרוֹן וְאָמְרוּ חֵי אֱלֹהֶיךָ דָּן וְחֵי דֶּרֶךְ בְּאֵֽר־שָׁבַע וְנָפְלוּ וְלֹא־יָקוּמוּ עֽוֹד׃ |
