< عَامُوس 2 >

هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ مُوآبَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا عِظَامَ مَلِكِ أَدُومَ كِلْسًا. ١ 1
Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because it burnt the bones of the King of Edom into lime.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى مُوآبَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ قَرْيُوتَ، وَيَمُوتُ مُوآبُ بِضَجِيجٍ، بِجَلَبَةٍ، بِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ. ٢ 2
Therefore will I send a fire vpon Moab, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Kerioth, and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْقَاضِيَ مِنْ وَسَطِهَا، وَأَقْتُلُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَائِهَا مَعَهُ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٣ 3
And I will cut off the iudge out of the mids thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, sayth the Lord.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ يَهُوذَا ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا نَامُوسَ ٱللهِ وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ، وَأَضَلَّتْهُمْ أَكَاذِيبُهُمُ ٱلَّتِي سَارَ آبَاؤُهُمْ وَرَاءَهَا. ٤ 4
Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions of Iudah, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord, and haue not kept his commandementes, and their lies caused them to erre after the which their fathers haue walked.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ». ٥ 5
Therefore will I send a fire vpon Iudah, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَاعُوا ٱلْبَارَّ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَٱلْبَائِسَ لِأَجْلِ نَعْلَيْنِ. ٦ 6
Thus sayth the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for foure, I will not turne to it, because they solde the righteous for siluer and the poore for shooes.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَهَمَّمُونَ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَصُدُّونَ سَبِيلَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، وَيَذْهَبُ رَجُلٌ وَأَبُوهُ إِلَى صَبِيَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُدَنِّسُوا ٱسْمَ قُدْسِي. ٧ 7
They gape ouer the head of the poore, in the dust of the earth, and peruert the wayes of the meeke: and a man and his father will goe in to a mayde to dishonour mine holy Name.
وَيَتَمَدَّدُونَ عَلَى ثِيَابٍ مَرْهُونَةٍ بِجَانِبِ كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَ ٱلْمُغَرَّمِينَ فِي بَيْتِ آلِهَتِهِمْ. ٨ 8
And they lye downe vpon clothes layde to pledge by euery altar: and they drinke the wine of the condemned in the house of their God.
«وَأَنَا قَدْ أَبَدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيَّ ٱلَّذِي قَامَتُهُ مِثْلُ قَامَةِ ٱلْأَرْزِ، وَهُوَ قَوِيٌّ كَٱلْبَلُّوطِ. أَبَدْتُ ثَمَرَهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَأُصُولَهُ مِنْ تَحْتُ. ٩ 9
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before the, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the okes: notwithstanding I destroyed his fruite from aboue, and his roote from beneath.
وَأَنَا أَصْعَدْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَسِرْتُ بِكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لِتَرِثُوا أَرْضَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّ. ١٠ 10
Also I brought you vp from the land of Egypt, and led you fourtie yeres thorowe the wildernesse, to possesse the land of the Amorite.
وَأَقَمْتُ مِنْ بَنِيكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَمِنْ فِتْيَانِكُمْ نَذِيرِينَ. أَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ١١ 11
And I raysed vp of your sonnes for Prophets, and of your yong men for Nazarites. Is it not euen thus, O ye children of Israel, sayth the Lord?
لَكِنَّكُمْ سَقَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرِينَ خَمْرًا، وَأَوْصَيْتُمُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأُوا. ١٢ 12
But ye gaue the Nazarites wine to drinke, and commanded the Prophetes, saying, Prophecie not.
«هَأَنَذَا أَضْغَطُ مَا تَحْتَكُمْ كَمَا تَضْغَطُ ٱلْعَجَلَةُ ٱلْمَلْآنَةُ حِزَمًا. ١٣ 13
Behold, I am pressed vnder you as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaues.
وَيَبِيدُ ٱلْمَنَاصُ عَنِ ٱلسَّرِيعِ، وَٱلْقَوِيُّ لَا يُشَدِّدُ قُوَّتَهُ، وَٱلْبَطَلُ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ، ١٤ 14
Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mightie saue his life.
وَمَاسِكُ ٱلْقَوْسِ لَا يَثْبُتُ، وَسَرِيعُ ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ لَا يَنْجُو، وَرَاكِبُ ٱلْخَيْلِ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ. ١٥ 15
Nor he that handleth the bowe, shall stand, and he that is swift of foote, shall not escape, neyther shall he that rideth the horse, saue his life.
وَٱلْقَوِيُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ يَهْرُبُ عُرْيَانًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٦ 16
And he that is of a mighty courage among the strong men, shall flee away naked in that day, sayth the Lord.
