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 take up as a lament over you, 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 Israel has fallen; she will rise no more; she is forsaken on her land; there is no one 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 this is what the Lord Yahweh says: “The city that went out with a thousand will have a hundred left, and the one that went out with a hundred will have ten left belonging to the house of Israel.”
4 For thus he says Yahweh to [the] house of Israel seek me and live.
For this is what Yahweh says 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.
Do not seek Bethel; nor enter Gilgal; do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into captivity, and Bethel will become 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 Yahweh and live, or he will break out like fire in the house of Joseph. It will devour, and there will be no one to quench it in Bethel.
7 O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
Those people turn justice into a bitter thing and throw righteousness down to the ground!”
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.
God made the Pleiades and Orion; he turns darkness into the morning; he makes the day dark with night and calls for the waters of the sea; he pours them out on the surface of the earth. Yahweh is his name!
9 The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
He brings sudden destruction on the strong so that destruction comes on the fortresses.
10 They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
They hate anyone who corrects them in the city gate, and they abhor anyone who speaks the truth.
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.
Because you trample down the poor and take portions of wheat from him— although you have built houses of worked stone, you will not live in them. You have delightful vineyards, but you will 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 know how many are your offenses and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, take bribes, and turn aside the needy in the city gate.
13 Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
Therefore any prudent person is silent at such a 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, so that you may live. So Yahweh, the God of hosts, will really be with you, as you say he is.
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, love good, establish justice in the city gate. Perhaps Yahweh, the 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, this is what Yahweh says, the God of hosts, the Lord, “Wailing will be in all the squares, and they will say in all the streets, 'Woe! Woe!' They will call the farmers to mourning and the mourners to wail.
17 And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he says Yahweh.
In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through your midst,” says Yahweh.
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 who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It will be 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 a man flees from a lion and a bear meets him, or he goes in a house and puts his hand on the wall and a snake bites him.
20 ¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
Will not the day of Yahweh be darkness and not light? Gloom and no brightness?
21 I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
“I hate, I despise your festivals, I take no delight 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.
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I look at the fellowship offerings of your fattened animals.
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 noise of your songs; I will not listen to the sound of your harps.
24 And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
Instead, let justice flow like water, and righteousness like a constantly flowing 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 me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness for forty years, 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.
You have lifted up the images of Sikkuth, your king, and Kaiwan, your star god, 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.
Therefore I will exile you beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts.
