Amos 5

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

Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

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 is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken on her land; there is none to 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.

For thus says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

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

For 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, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

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 the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

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

You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in 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.

Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them 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.

That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

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

They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.

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.

For as much therefore as your treading is on the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink 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 manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

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

Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

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, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.

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.

Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious to 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 the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.

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

And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through 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! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD 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 did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

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

Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

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

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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.

Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

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

Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.

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

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

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 sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

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

But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.

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

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
