عَامُوس 3
| اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْقَبِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْعَدْتُهَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
“You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
| «إِيَّاكُمْ فَقَطْ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أُعَاقِبُكُمْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ». | ٢ 2 |
From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
| هَلْ يَسِيرُ ٱثْنَانِ مَعًا إِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَاعَدَا؟ | ٣ 3 |
Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
| هَلْ يُزَمْجِرُ ٱلْأَسَدُ فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ فَرِيسَةٌ؟ هَلْ يُعْطِي شِبْلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ زَئِيرَهُ مِنْ خِدْرِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَخْطَفْ؟ | ٤ 4 |
A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
| هَلْ يَسْقُطُ عُصْفُورٌ فِي فَخِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ شَرَكٌ؟ هَلْ يُرْفَعُ فَخٌّ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ لَمْ يُمْسِكْ شَيْئًا؟ | ٥ 5 |
No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
| أَمْ يُضْرَبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَرْتَعِدُ؟ هَلْ تَحْدُثُ بَلِيَّةٌ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَصْنَعْهَا؟ | ٦ 6 |
[Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
| إِنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَصْنَعُ أَمْرًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُعْلِنُ سِرَّهُ لِعَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٧ 7 |
And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
| ٱلْأَسَدُ قَدْ زَمْجَرَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَخَافُ؟ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
| نَادُوا عَلَى ٱلْقُصُورِ فِي أَشْدُودَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْقُصُورِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَقُولُوا: «ٱجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى جِبَالِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَٱنْظُرُوا شَغْبًا عَظِيمًا فِي وَسَطِهَا وَمَظَالِمَ فِي دَاخِلِهَا. | ٩ 9 |
[I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
| فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْزِنُونَ ٱلظُّلْمَ وَٱلِٱغْتِصَابَ فِي قُصُورِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ضِيقٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيُنْزِلَ عَنْكِ عِزَّكِ وَتُنْهَبُ قُصُورُكِ». | ١١ 11 |
So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «كَمَا يَنْزِعُ ٱلرَّاعِي مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْأَسَدِ كُرَاعَيْنِ أَوْ قِطْعَةَ أُذُنٍ، هَكَذَا يُنْتَزَعُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ في ٱلسَّامِرَةِ في زَاوِيَةِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ وَعَلَى دِمَقْسِ ٱلْفِرَاشِ! | ١٢ 12 |
Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
| اِسْمَعُوا وَٱشْهَدُوا علَى بَيتِ يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
| إِنِّي يَوْمَ مُعَاقَبَتِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى ذُنُوبِهِ أُعَاقِبُ مَذَابِحَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَتُقْطَعُ قُرُونُ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَتَسْقُطُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٤ 14 |
When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.
| وَأَضْرِبُ بَيْتَ ٱلشِّتَاءِ مَعَ بَيْتِ ٱلصَّيْفِ، فَتَبِيدُ بُيُوتُ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَتَضْمَحِلُّ ٱلْبُيُوتُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١٥ 15 |
I will cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
