< Amos 5 >
1 Hear the word this which I [am] lifting up on 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.
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.
4 For thus he says Yahweh 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.
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.
7 O those [who] turn into wormwood justice and righteousness to the ground they thrust down.
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.
9 The [who] causes to flash devastation on [the] strong and devastation on a fortress it will come.
10 They hate in the gate [one who] reproves and [one who] speaks blameless they abhor.
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.
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.
13 Therefore the prudent [person] at the time that he will be silent for [is] a time evil it.
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.
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.
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.
17 And [will be] in all [the] vineyards wailing for I will pass in midst your he 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.
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.
20 ¿ Not [be] darkness [will] [the] day of Yahweh and not light and gloomy and not brightness [will belong] to it.
21 I hate I reject feasts your and not I delight in assemblies your.
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.
23 Remove from with me [the] noise of songs your and [the] music of lyres your not I will listen to.
24 And it may roll on like water justice and righteousness like a wadi ever-flowing.
25 ¿ Sacrifices and grain offering[s] did you bring near to me in the wilderness forty year[s] 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.
27 And I will send into exile you from beyond Damascus he says [is] Yahweh God of hosts name his.
