Amos 5

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

Hear this word that I am bearing to you, 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.

“Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has 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 said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves ten to the house of Israel.”

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

For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and 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.

And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.

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 YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—

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

You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to 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.

The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [is] His Name;

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

Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.

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

They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.

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 of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.

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 have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.

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

Therefore the wise is silent at 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 it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you 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.

Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities 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 said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.

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

And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.

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.

Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? 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 [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten 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 YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?

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

“I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.

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.

For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.

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

Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.

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

And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.

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

Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a 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.

And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that 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 removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
