< עמוס 7 >
כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִנֵּה יוֹצֵר גֹּבַי בִּתְחִלַּת עֲלוֹת הַלָּקֶשׁ וְהִנֵּה־לֶקֶשׁ אַחַר גִּזֵּי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ | 1 |
These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.
וְהָיָה אִם־כִּלָּה לֶֽאֱכוֹל אֶת־עֵשֶׂב הָאָרֶץ וָֽאֹמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה סְֽלַֽח־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הֽוּא׃ | 2 |
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?
נִחַם יְהֹוָה עַל־זֹאת לֹא תִֽהְיֶה אָמַר יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 3 |
The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.
כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִנֵּה קֹרֵא לָרִב בָּאֵשׁ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וַתֹּאכַל אֶת־תְּהוֹם רַבָּה וְאָכְלָה אֶת־הַחֵֽלֶק׃ | 4 |
These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.
וָאֹמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה חֲדַל־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הֽוּא׃ | 5 |
And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?
נִחַם יְהֹוָה עַל־זֹאת גַּם־הִיא לֹא תִֽהְיֶה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ | 6 |
The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.
כֹּה הִרְאַנִי וְהִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי נִצָּב עַל־חוֹמַת אֲנָךְ וּבְיָדוֹ אֲנָֽךְ׃ | 7 |
These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason’s trowel.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי מָֽה־אַתָּה רֹאֶה עָמוֹס וָאֹמַר אֲנָךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹנָי הִנְנִי שָׂם אֲנָךְ בְּקֶרֶב עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אוֹסִיף עוֹד עֲבוֹר לֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.
וְנָשַׁמּוּ בָּמוֹת יִשְׂחָק וּמִקְדְּשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֶחֱרָבוּ וְקַמְתִּי עַל־בֵּית יָרׇבְעָם בֶּחָֽרֶב׃ | 9 |
And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֲמַצְיָה כֹּהֵן בֵּֽית־אֵל אֶל־יָרׇבְעָם מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר קָשַׁר עָלֶיךָ עָמוֹס בְּקֶרֶב בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־תוּכַל הָאָרֶץ לְהָכִיל אֶת־כׇּל־דְּבָרָֽיו׃ | 10 |
And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
כִּי־כֹה אָמַר עָמוֹס בַּחֶרֶב יָמוּת יָרׇבְעָם וְיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלֹה יִגְלֶה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away captive out of their own land.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲמַצְיָה אֶל־עָמוֹס חֹזֶה לֵךְ בְּרַח־לְךָ אֶל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וֶאֱכׇל־שָׁם לֶחֶם וְשָׁם תִּנָּבֵֽא׃ | 12 |
And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
וּבֵֽית־אֵל לֹא־תוֹסִיף עוֹד לְהִנָּבֵא כִּי מִקְדַּשׁ־מֶלֶךְ הוּא וּבֵית מַמְלָכָה הֽוּא׃ | 13 |
But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.
וַיַּעַן עָמוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֲמַצְיָה לֹא־נָבִיא אָנֹכִי וְלֹא בֶן־נָבִיא אָנֹכִי כִּי־בוֹקֵר אָנֹכִי וּבוֹלֵס שִׁקְמִֽים׃ | 14 |
And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.
וַיִּקָּחֵנִי יְהֹוָה מֵאַחֲרֵי הַצֹּאן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי יְהֹוָה לֵךְ הִנָּבֵא אֶל־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 15 |
And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
וְעַתָּה שְׁמַע דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה אַתָּה אֹמֵר לֹא תִנָּבֵא עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא תַטִּיף עַל־בֵּית יִשְׂחָֽק׃ | 16 |
And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.
לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אִשְׁתְּךָ בָּעִיר תִּזְנֶה וּבָנֶיךָ וּבְנֹתֶיךָ בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וְאַדְמָתְךָ בַּחֶבֶל תְּחֻלָּק וְאַתָּה עַל־אֲדָמָה טְמֵאָה תָּמוּת וְיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלֹה יִגְלֶה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃ | 17 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.
