Amos 6

1 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [who are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!

١ وَيْلٌ لِلْمُسْتَرِيحِينَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، نُقَبَاءِ أَوَّلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [are they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

٢ اُعْبُرُوا إِلَى كَلْنَةَ وَٱنْظُرُوا، وَٱذْهَبُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى حَمَاةَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، ثُمَّ ٱنْزِلُوا إِلَى جَتِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. أَهِيَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، أَمْ تُخُمُهُمْ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ تُخُمِكُمْ؟

3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

٣ أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُبْعِدُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلْبَلِيَّةِ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ مَقْعَدَ ٱلظُّلْمِ،

4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;

٤ ٱلْمُضْطَجِعُونَ عَلَى أَسِرَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَٱلْمُتَمَدِّدُونَ عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ، وَٱلْآكِلُونَ خِرَافًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَعُجُولًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلصِّيَرةِ،

5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;

٥ ٱلْهَاذِرُونَ مَعَ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبَابِ، ٱلْمُخْتَرِعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ آلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ كَدَاوُدَ،

6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

٦ ٱلشَّارِبُونَ مِنْ كُؤُوسِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدَّهِنُونَ بِأَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَدْهَانِ وَلَا يَغْتَمُّونَ عَلَى ٱنْسِحَاقِ يُوسُفَ.

7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

٧ لِذَلِكَ ٱلْآنَ يُسْبَوْنَ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، وَيَزُولُ صِيَاحُ ٱلْمُتَمَدِّدِينَ.

8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellence of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all its abundance.

٨ قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِنَفْسِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ عَظَمَةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأُبْغِضُ قُصُورَهُ، فَأُسَلِّمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.

٩ فَيَكُونُ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ أَنَّهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ.

10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

١٠ وَإِذَا حَمَلَ أَحَدًا عَمُّهُ وَمُحْرِقُهُ لِيُخْرِجَ ٱلْعِظَامَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَقَالَ لِمَنْ هُوَ فِي جَوَانِبِ ٱلْبَيْتِ: «أَعِنْدَكَ بَعْدُ؟» يَقُولُ: «لَيْسَ بَعْدُ». فَيَقُولُ: «ٱسْكُتْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُذْكَرُ ٱسْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ».

11 For behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

١١ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَأْمُرُ فَيَضْرِبُ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْكَبِيرَ رَدْمًا، وَٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلصَّغِيرَ شُقُوقًا.

12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

١٢ هَلْ تَرْكُضُ ٱلْخَيْلُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ؟ أَوْ يُحْرَثُ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْبَقَرِ؟ حَتَّى حَوَّلْتُمُ ٱلْحَقَّ سَمًّا، وَثَمَرَ ٱلْبِرِّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا.

13 Ye who rejoice in a thing of naught, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

١٣ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَرِحُونَ بِٱلْبُطْلِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِنَا ٱتَّخَذْنَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا قُرُونًا؟»

14 But behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.

١٤ «لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أُمَّةً فَيُضَايِقُونَكُمْ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ».
