Amos 6
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
| وَيْلٌ لِلْمُتْرَفِينَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَالْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِي جَبَلِ السَّامِرَةِ، نُبلاءِ طَلِيعَةِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ يَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
| تَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ كَلْنَةَ وَتَأَمَّلُوا، ثُمَّ انْتَقِلُوا إِلَى حَمَاةَ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَمِنْهَا انْحَدِرُوا إِلَى جَتَّ مَدِينَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. هَلْ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَمَالِكِ أَمْ تُخُومُهُمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ تُخُومِكُمْ؟ | ٢ |
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
| أَنْتُمْ يَا مَنْ تَتَجَاهَلُونَ يَوْمَ السُّوءِ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ كُرْسِيَّ الظُّلْمِ. | ٣ |
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
| وَيْلٌ لِلرَّاقِدِينَ فَوْقَ أَسِرَّةٍ مِنْ عَاجٍ، الْمُسْتَرْخِينَ فَوْقَ الأَرَائِكِ، الآكِلِينَ لَحْمَ خَيْرَةِ الْحُمْلانِ وَالْعُجُولِ الْمُخْتَارَةِ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَعْلِفِ. | ٤ |
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
| الْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى صَوْتِ الرَّبَابِ، الْمُخْتَرِعِينَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ آلاتِ غِنَاءٍ كَدَاوُدَ. | ٥ |
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
| الشَّارِبِينَ خَمْراً فِي كُؤُوسٍ، الْمُتَطَيِّبِينَ بِأَفْضَلِ الْعُطُورِ، وَلا يَكْتَئِبُونَ عَلَى خَرَابِ يُوسُفَ. | ٦ |
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
| لِهَذَا سَيَكُونُونَ أَوَّلَ الذَّاهِبِينَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ، وَيَزُولُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ لَهْوٍ وَعَبَثٍ. | ٧ |
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِذَاتِي، أَنْ أَمْقُتَ زَهْوَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأُبْغِضَ قُصُورَهُ، فَأُسَلِّمُ الْمَدِينَةَ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
| فَيَكُونُ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ، أَنَّهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ حَتْفَهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُ عَمُّ الْمَيْتِ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى إِحْرَاقِ الْجُثَثِ لِيُخْرِجَ عِظَامَهُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَيَسْأَلُ مَنْ هُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي أَقْصَى الْمَنْزِلِ: أَمَا بَقِيَ وَاحِدٌ مَعَكَ؟ فَيُجِيبُ: لا، ثُمَّ يُضِيفُ: اصْمُتْ وَلا تَذْكُرِ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ. | ١٠ |
11 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
| لأَنَّهُ هَا الرَّبُّ يَأْمُرُ، فَيَهْدِمُ الْبَيْتَ الْكَبِيرَ فَيَصِيرُ رُكَاماً، وَالْبَيْتَ الصَّغِيرَ حُطَاماً. | ١١ |
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
| أَتَجْرِي الْخُيُولُ عَلَى الصُّخُورِ؟ وَهَلْ يُحْرَثُ الْبَحْرُ بِثِيرَانٍ؟ لَقَدْ حَوَّلْتُمُ الْحَقَّ سُمّاً زُعَافاً، وَثِمَارَ الْبِرِّ مَرَارَةً. | ١٢ |
13 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
| أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُبْتَهِجُونَ بِالْعَدَمِ الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِنَا ظَفِرْنَا؟ | ١٣ |
14 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
| هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، فَيَسُومُونَكُمُ الْعَذَابَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ». | ١٤ |
