Amos 5

1 Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on you a lamentation O house of Israel.

Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.

2 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.

The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.

3 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.

Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.

4 For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.

Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live.

5 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.

But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.

6 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.

Seek you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.

7 O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.

[It is he] that executes judgement in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:

8 [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.

who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:

9 The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.

who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.

10 They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.

They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.

11 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.

Therefore because they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.

12 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.

For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgement of] the poor in the gates.

13 Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.

Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.

14 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.

Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,

15 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.

We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgement in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

16 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.

Therefore thus says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.

17 And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.

And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says the Lord.

18 Woe to! those [who] desire [the] day of Yahweh why? this to you [the] day of Yahweh it [will be] darkness and not light.

Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light.

19 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.

As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.

20 ¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.

Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?

21 I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.

I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies.

22 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.

Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.

23 Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.

Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.

24 And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.

But let judgement roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.

25 ¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] O house of Israel.

Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?

26 And you will lift up Sikkuth king your and Kiyyun images your [the] star of gods your which you made for yourselves.

Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for yourselves.

27 And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.

And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
