< عَامُوس 1 >

أَقْوَالُ عَامُوسَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ بَيْنَ ٱلرُّعَاةِ مِنْ تَقُوعَ ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَبْلَ ٱلزَّلْزَلَةِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. ١ 1
Words of Amos — who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa — that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُزَمْجِرُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَتَنُوحُ مَرَاعِي ٱلرُّعَاةِ وَيَيْبَسُ رَأْسُ ٱلْكَرْمَلِ». ٢ 2
and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel!
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ دِمَشْقَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ دَاسُوا جِلْعَادَ بِنَوَارِجَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. ٣ 3
And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى بَيْتِ حَزَائِيلَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بَنْهَدَدَ. ٤ 4
And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
وَأُكَسِّرُ مِغْلَاقَ دِمَشْقَ، وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسَّاكِنَ مِنْ بُقْعَةِ آوَنَ، وَمَاسِكَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ مِنْ بَيْتِ عَدْنٍ، وَيُسْبَى شَعْبُ أَرَامَ إِلَى قِيرَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٥ 5
And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir, said Jehovah.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ غَزَّةَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَبَوْا سَبْيًا كَامِلًا لِكَىْ يُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى أَدُومَ. ٦ 6
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ غَزَّةَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا. ٧ 7
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلسَّاكِنَ مِنْ أَشْدُودَ، وَمَاسِكَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ مِنْ أَشْقَلُونَ، وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى عَقْرُونَ، فَتَهْلِكُ بَقِيَّةُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٨ 8
And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ صُورَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَلَّمُوا سَبْيًا كَامِلًا إِلَى أَدُومَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا عَهْدَ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ. ٩ 9
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the brotherly covenant,
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ صُورَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا». ١٠ 10
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ أَدُومَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَبِعَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ أَخَاهُ، وَأَفْسَدَ مَرَاحِمَهُ، وَغضَبُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يَفْتَرِسُ، وَسَخَطُهُ يَحْفَظُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١١ 11
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath — he hath kept it for ever,
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى تَيْمَانَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ بُصْرَةَ». ١٢ 12
And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ شَقُّوا حَوَامِلَ جِلْعَادَ لِكَيْ يُوَسِّعُوا تُخُومَهُمْ. ١٣ 13
Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
فَأُضْرِمُ نَارًا عَلَى سُورِ رَبَّةَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهَا. بِجَلَبَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، بِنَوْءٍ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ. ١٤ 14
And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,
وَيَمْضِي مَلِكُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ هُوَ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ جَمِيعًا، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٥ 15
And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!
