Amos 7

1 thus to see: see me Lord YHWH/God and behold to form: formed locust in/on/with beginning to ascend: rise [the] spring crop and behold spring crop after fleece [the] king

Thus Lord YHWH has showed me, and behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the ascending of the latter growth, and behold, the latter growth [is] after the mowings of the king [[or King Gog]];

2 and to be if to end: finish to/for to eat [obj] vegetation [the] land: country/planet and to say Lord YHWH/God to forgive please who? to arise: establish Jacob for small he/she/it

and it has come to pass, when it has finished to consume the herb of the land, that I say, “Lord YHWH, please forgive, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”

3 to be sorry: relent LORD upon this not to be to say LORD

YHWH has relented of this, “It will not be,” said YHWH.

4 thus to see: see me Lord YHWH/God and behold to call: call to to/for to contend in/on/with fire Lord YHWH/God and to eat [obj] abyss many and to eat [obj] [the] portion

Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, Lord YHWH is calling to contend by the fire, and it consumes the great deep, indeed, it has consumed the portion, and I say,

5 and to say Lord YHWH/God to cease please who? to arise: establish Jacob for small he/she/it

“Lord YHWH, please cease, How does Jacob arise—for he [is] small?”

6 to be sorry: relent LORD upon this also he/she/it not to be to say Lord YHWH/God

YHWH has relented of this, “It also will not be,” said Lord YHWH.

7 thus to see: see me and behold Lord to stand upon wall plumbline and in/on/with hand his plumbline

Thus has He showed me, and behold, the Lord is standing by a wall [made according to] a plumb-line, and in His hand a plumb-line;

8 and to say LORD to(wards) me what? you(m. s.) to see: see Amos and to say plumbline and to say Lord look! I to set: make plumbline in/on/with entrails: among people my Israel not to add: again still to pass to/for him

and YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A plumb-line”; and the Lord says: “Behold, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it.

9 and be desolate: destroyed high place Isaac and sanctuary Israel to destroy and to arise: attack upon house: household Jeroboam in/on/with sword

And high places of Isaac have been desolated, And sanctuaries of Israel are dried up, And I have risen against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.”

10 and to send: depart Amaziah priest Bethel Bethel to(wards) Jeroboam king Israel to/for to say to conspire upon you Amos in/on/with entrails: among house: household Israel not be able [the] land: country/planet to/for to sustain [obj] all word his

And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sends to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words,

11 for thus to say Amos in/on/with sword to die Jeroboam and Israel to reveal: remove to reveal: remove from upon land: soil his

for thus said Amos: Jeroboam dies by sword, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”

12 and to say Amaziah to(wards) Amos seer to go: went to flee to/for you to(wards) land: country/planet Judah and to eat there food: bread and there to prophesy

And Amaziah says to Amos, “Seer, go, flee to the land of Judah for yourself, and eat bread there, and there you prophesy;

13 and Bethel Bethel not to add: again still to/for to prophesy for sanctuary king he/she/it and house: home kingdom he/she/it

and no longer prophesy [at] Beth-El anymore, for it [is] the king’s sanctuary, and it [is] the royal house.”

14 and to answer Amos and to say to(wards) Amaziah not prophet I and not son: child prophet I for herdsman I and to gather/tend figs sycamore

And Amos answers and says to Amaziah, “I [am] no prophet, nor [am] I a prophet’s son, but I [am] a herdsman, and a cultivator of sycamores,

15 and to take: take me LORD from after [the] flock and to say to(wards) me LORD to go: went to prophesy to(wards) people my Israel

and YHWH takes me from after the flock, and YHWH says to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.

16 and now to hear: hear word LORD you(m. s.) to say not to prophesy upon Israel and not to drip/prophesy upon house: household Isaac

And now, hear a word of YHWH: You are saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop [anything] against the house of Isaac,

17 to/for so thus to say LORD woman: wife your in/on/with city to fornicate and son: child your and daughter your in/on/with sword to fall: kill and land: soil your in/on/with cord to divide and you(m. s.) upon land: soil unclean to die and Israel to reveal: remove to reveal: remove from upon land: soil his

therefore, thus said YHWH: Your wife goes whoring in the city, And your sons and your daughters fall by sword, And your land is apportioned by line, And you die on an unclean land, And Israel certainly removes from off its land.”
