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
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
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
It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
3 to be sorry: relent LORD upon this not to be to say LORD
The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD.
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
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, the LORD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
5 and to say Lord YHWH/God to cease please who? to arise: establish Jacob for small he/she/it
Then I said, "LORD, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
6 to be sorry: relent LORD upon this also he/she/it not to be to say Lord YHWH/God
The LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the LORD.
7 thus to see: see me and behold Lord to stand upon wall plumbline and in/on/with hand his plumbline
This is what the LORD showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
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 the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the LORD said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
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
The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the 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
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent 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 Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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
Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
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
but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a 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
Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
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 the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said 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
Now therefore listen to the word of the LORD: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim 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 says the LORD: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
