< عَامُوس 2 >

هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ مُوآبَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَقُوا عِظَامَ مَلِكِ أَدُومَ كِلْسًا. ١ 1
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى مُوآبَ فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ قَرْيُوتَ، وَيَمُوتُ مُوآبُ بِضَجِيجٍ، بِجَلَبَةٍ، بِصَوْتِ ٱلْبُوقِ. ٢ 2
I will send fire on Moab, and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will die in an uproar, with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْقَاضِيَ مِنْ وَسَطِهَا، وَأَقْتُلُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَائِهَا مَعَهُ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٣ 3
I will destroy the judge in her, and I will kill all the princes with him,” says Yahweh.
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
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they rejected the law of Yahweh and did not keep his statutes. Their lies caused them to go astray, after which their fathers had also walked.
فَأُرْسِلُ نَارًا عَلَى يَهُوذَا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَ أُورُشَلِيمَ». ٥ 5
I will send fire on Judah, and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.”
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ لَا أَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَاعُوا ٱلْبَارَّ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَٱلْبَائِسَ لِأَجْلِ نَعْلَيْنِ. ٦ 6
This is what Yahweh says: “For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn away punishment, because they sold the innocent for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَهَمَّمُونَ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيَصُدُّونَ سَبِيلَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، وَيَذْهَبُ رَجُلٌ وَأَبُوهُ إِلَى صَبِيَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُدَنِّسُوا ٱسْمَ قُدْسِي. ٧ 7
They trample on the heads of the poor as people trample on dust on the ground; they push the oppressed away. A man and his father sleep with the same girl and so profane my holy name.
وَيَتَمَدَّدُونَ عَلَى ثِيَابٍ مَرْهُونَةٍ بِجَانِبِ كُلِّ مَذْبَحٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَ ٱلْمُغَرَّمِينَ فِي بَيْتِ آلِهَتِهِمْ. ٨ 8
They lie down beside every altar on clothes taken as pledges, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who were fined.
«وَأَنَا قَدْ أَبَدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيَّ ٱلَّذِي قَامَتُهُ مِثْلُ قَامَةِ ٱلْأَرْزِ، وَهُوَ قَوِيٌّ كَٱلْبَلُّوطِ. أَبَدْتُ ثَمَرَهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَأُصُولَهُ مِنْ تَحْتُ. ٩ 9
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
وَأَنَا أَصْعَدْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَسِرْتُ بِكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً لِتَرِثُوا أَرْضَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّ. ١٠ 10
Also, I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorites.
وَأَقَمْتُ مِنْ بَنِيكُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ، وَمِنْ فِتْيَانِكُمْ نَذِيرِينَ. أَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ ١١ 11
I raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, people of Israel? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
لَكِنَّكُمْ سَقَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرِينَ خَمْرًا، وَأَوْصَيْتُمُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ قَائِلِينَ: لَا تَتَنَبَّأُوا. ١٢ 12
But you persuaded the Nazirites to drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
«هَأَنَذَا أَضْغَطُ مَا تَحْتَكُمْ كَمَا تَضْغَطُ ٱلْعَجَلَةُ ٱلْمَلْآنَةُ حِزَمًا. ١٣ 13
Look, I will crush you as a cart that is full of grain can crush someone.
وَيَبِيدُ ٱلْمَنَاصُ عَنِ ٱلسَّرِيعِ، وَٱلْقَوِيُّ لَا يُشَدِّدُ قُوَّتَهُ، وَٱلْبَطَلُ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ، ١٤ 14
The swift will find no escape; the strong will not add to his own strength; neither will the mighty save himself.
وَمَاسِكُ ٱلْقَوْسِ لَا يَثْبُتُ، وَسَرِيعُ ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ لَا يَنْجُو، وَرَاكِبُ ٱلْخَيْلِ لَا يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ. ١٥ 15
The archer will not stand; the fast runner will not escape; the horseman will not save himself.
وَٱلْقَوِيُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالِ يَهْرُبُ عُرْيَانًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٦ 16
Even the bravest warriors will flee naked in that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
