Amos 7

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

هكَذَا أَرَانِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ جَرَادًا فِي أَوَّلِ طُلُوعِ خِلْفِ الْعُشْبِ. وَإِذَا خِلْفُ عُشْبٍ بَعْدَ جِزَازِ الْمَلِكِ.

And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَكْلِ عُشْبِ الأَرْضِ أَنِّي قُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، اصْفَحْ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!».

The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

فَنَدِمَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى هذَا. «لاَ يَكُونُ» قَالَ الرَّبُّ.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

هكَذَا أَرَانِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، وَإِذَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ قَدْ دَعَا لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ بِالنَّارِ، فَأَكَلَتِ الْغَمْرَ الْعَظِيمَ وَأَكَلَتِ الْحَقْلَ.

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

فَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، كُفَّ! كَيْفَ يَقُومُ يَعْقُوبُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ صَغِيرٌ!».

The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

فَنَدِمَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى هذَا. «فَهُوَ أَيْضًا لاَ يَكُونُ» قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

هكَذَا أَرَانِي وَإِذَا الرَّبُّ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى حَائِطٍ قَائِمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ زِيجٌ.

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 pass by them any more:

فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «زِيجًا». فَقَالَ السَّيِّدُ: «هأَنَذَا وَاضِعٌ زِيجًا فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لاَ أَعُودُ أَصْفَحُ لَهُ بَعْدُ.

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.

فَتُقْفِرُ مُرْتَفَعَاتُ إِسْحَاقَ وَتَخْرَبُ مَقَادِسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقُومُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَرُبْعَامَ بِالسَّيْفِ».

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.

فَأَرْسَلَ أَمَصْيَا كَاهِنُ بَيْتَِ إِيلَ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «قَدْ فَتَنَ عَلَيْكَ عَامُوسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لاَ تَقْدِرُ الأَرْضُ أَنْ تُطِيقَ كُلَّ أَقْوَالِهِ.

For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا قَالَ عَامُوسُ: يَمُوتُ يَرُبْعَامُ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَيُسْبَى إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ».

Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

فَقَالَ أَمَصْيَا لِعَامُوسَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّائِي، اذْهَبِ اهْرُبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ خُبْزًا وَهُنَاكَ تَنَبَّأْ.

But prophesy not again any more at Beth–el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ إِيلَ فَلاَ تَعُدْ تَتَنَبَّأُ فِيهَا بَعْدُ، لأَنَّهَا مَقْدِسُ الْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتُ الْمُلْكِ».

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

فَأَجَابَ عَامُوسُ وَقَالَ لأَمَصْيَا: «لَسْتُ أَنَا نَبِيًّا وَلاَ أَنَا ابْنُ نَبِيٍّ، بَلْ أَنَا رَاعٍ وَجَانِي جُمَّيْزٍ.

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

فَأَخَذَنِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الضَّأْنِ وَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: اذْهَبْ تَنَبَّأْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

«فَالآنَ اسْمَعْ قَوْلَ الرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ: لاَ تَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلاَ تَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِسْحَاقَ.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an 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 shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: امْرَأَتُكَ تَزْنِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ يَسْقُطُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَأَرْضُكَ تُقْسَمُ بِالْحَبْلِ، وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ فِي أَرْضٍ نَجِسَةٍ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ يُسْبَى سَبْيًا عَنْ أَرْضِهِ».
