< عَامُوس 7 >

هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ جَرَادًا فِي أَوَّلِ طُلُوعِ خِلْفِ ٱلْعُشْبِ. وَإِذَا خِلْفُ عُشْبٍ بَعْدَ جِزَازِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١ 1
Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَكْلِ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنِّي قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱصْفَحْ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!». ٢ 2
And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا. «لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD.
هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَا لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ بِٱلنَّارِ، فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْغَمْرَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ وَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْحَقْلَ. ٤ 4
Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
فَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، كُفَّ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!». ٥ 5
Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
فَنَدِمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى هَذَا.«فَهُوَ أَيْضًا لَا يَكُونُ» قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٦ 6
The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.
هَكَذَا أَرَانِي وَإِذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى حَائِطٍ قَائِمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ زِيجٌ. ٧ 7
Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «زِيجًا». فَقَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ: «هَأَنَذَا وَاضِعٌ زِيجًا فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَعُودُ أَصْفَحُ لَهُ بَعْدُ. ٨ 8
And the LORD said unto me: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord: Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pardon them any more;
فَتُقْفِرُ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ إِسْحَاقَ وَتَخْرَبُ مَقَادِسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقُومُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». ٩ 9
And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
فَأَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا كَاهِنُ بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ فَتَنَ عَلَيْكَ عَامُوسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا تَقْدِرُ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَنْ تُطِيقَ كُلَّ أَقْوَالِهِ. ١٠ 10
Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ عَامُوسُ: يَمُوتُ يَرُبْعَامُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ». ١١ 11
For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِعَامُوسَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّائِي، ٱذْهَبِ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزًا وَهُنَاكَ تَنَبَّأْ. ١٢ 12
Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there;
وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ إِيلَ فَلَا تَعُدْ تَتَنَبَّأُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّهَا مَقْدِسُ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتُ ٱلْمُلْكِ». ١٣ 13
but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'
فَأَجَابَ عَامُوسُ وَقَالَ لِأَمَصْيَا: «لَسْتُ أَنَا نَبِيًّا وَلَا أَنَا ٱبْنُ نَبِيٍّ، بَلْ أَنَا رَاعٍ وَجَانِي جُمَّيْزٍ. ١٤ 14
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;
فَأَخَذَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلضَّأْنِ وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبْ تَنَبَّأْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٥ 15
and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
«فَٱلْآنَ ٱسْمَعْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا تَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْحَاقَ. ١٦ 16
Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱمْرَأَتُكَ تَزْنِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَرْضُكَ تُقْسَمُ بِٱلْحَبْلِ، وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ فِي أَرْضٍ نَجِسَةٍ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ يُسْبَى سَبْيًا عَنْ أَرْضِهِ». ١٧ 17
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
