عَامُوس 6

١ 1 وَيْلٌ لِلْمُسْتَرِيحِينَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، نُقَبَاءِ أَوَّلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِمْ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the foremost of nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

٢ 2 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؟

Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?

٣ 3 أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُبْعِدُونَ يَوْمَ ٱلْبَلِيَّةِ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ مَقْعَدَ ٱلظُّلْمِ،

Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

٤ 4 ٱلْمُضْطَجِعُونَ عَلَى أَسِرَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَٱلْمُتَمَدِّدُونَ عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ، وَٱلْآكِلُونَ خِرَافًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَعُجُولًا مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلصِّيَرةِ،

Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

٥ 5 ٱلْهَاذِرُونَ مَعَ صَوْتِ ٱلرَّبَابِ، ٱلْمُخْتَرِعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ آلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ كَدَاوُدَ،

who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;

٦ 6 ٱلشَّارِبُونَ مِنْ كُؤُوسِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدَّهِنُونَ بِأَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَدْهَانِ وَلَا يَغْتَمُّونَ عَلَى ٱنْسِحَاقِ يُوسُفَ.

who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ ٱلْآنَ يُسْبَوْنَ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، وَيَزُولُ صِيَاحُ ٱلْمُتَمَدِّدِينَ.

Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.

٨ 8 قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِنَفْسِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ: «إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ عَظَمَةَ يَعْقُوبَ وَأُبْغِضُ قُصُورَهُ، فَأُسَلِّمُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

"YHWH has sworn by himself," says YHWH, the God of hosts: "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

٩ 9 فَيَكُونُ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ أَنَّهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ.

And it will be, if there remain ten men in one house, they will die, and the remaining ones will be left.

١٠ 10 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».

"When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush. Indeed we must not mention the name of YHWH.'

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَأْمُرُ فَيَضْرِبُ ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْكَبِيرَ رَدْمًا، وَٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلصَّغِيرَ شُقُوقًا.

"For, look, YHWH commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.

١٢ 12 هَلْ تَرْكُضُ ٱلْخَيْلُ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرِ؟ أَوْ يُحْرَثُ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْبَقَرِ؟ حَتَّى حَوَّلْتُمُ ٱلْحَقَّ سَمًّا، وَثَمَرَ ٱلْبِرِّ أَفْسَنْتِينًا.

Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;

١٣ 13 أَنْتُمُ ٱلْفَرِحُونَ بِٱلْبُطْلِ، ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: «أَلَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِنَا ٱتَّخَذْنَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا قُرُونًا؟»

you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves Karnaim by our own strength?'

١٤ 14 «لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، أُمَّةً فَيُضَايِقُونَكُمْ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ».

For, look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says YHWH, the God of hosts; "and they will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah."
