1 GLT هَكَذَا أَرَانِي ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَإِذَا سَلَّةٌ لِلْقِطَافِ. BSB BSB: This is what the Lord GOD showed me: I saw a basket of summer fruit.
2 GLT فَقَالَ: «مَاذَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «سَلَّةً لِلْقِطَافِ». فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ أَتَتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَا أَعُودُ أَصْفَحُ لَهُ بَعْدُ. BSB BSB: “Amos, what do you see?” He asked. “A basket of summer fruit,” I replied. So the LORD said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.”
3 GLT فَتَصِيرُ أَغَانِي ٱلْقَصْرِ وَلَاوِلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْجُثَثُ كَثِيرَةٌ يَطْرَحُونَهَا فِي كُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ بِٱلسُّكُوتِ». BSB BSB: “In that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “the songs of the temple will turn to wailing. Many will be the corpses, strewn in silence everywhere!”
4 GLT اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُتَهَمِّمُونَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ لِكَيْ تُبِيدُوا بَائِسِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، BSB BSB: Hear this, you who trample the needy, who do away with the poor of the land,
5 GLT قَائِلِينَ: «مَتَى يَمْضِي رَأْسُ ٱلشَّهْرِ لِنَبِيعَ قَمْحًا، وَٱلسَّبْتُ لِنَعْرِضَ حِنْطَةً؟ لِنُصَغِّرَ ٱلْإِيفَةَ، وَنُكَبِّرَ ٱلشَّاقِلَ، وَنُعَوِّجَ مَوَازِينَ ٱلْغِشِّ. BSB BSB: asking, “When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may market wheat? Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales.
6 GLT لِنَشْتَرِيَ ٱلضُّعَفَاءَ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَٱلْبَائِسَ بِنَعْلَيْنِ، وَنَبِيعَ نُفَايَةَ ٱلْقَمْحِ». BSB BSB: Let us buy the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the chaff with the wheat!”
7 GLT قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِفَخْرِ يَعْقُوبَ: «إِنِّي لَنْ أَنْسَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. BSB BSB: The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 GLT أَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَيَنُوحُ كُلُّ سَاكِنٍ فِيهَا، وَتَطْمُو كُلُّهَا كَنَهْرٍ، وَتَفِيضُ وَتَنْضُبُ كَنِيلِ مِصْرَ؟ BSB BSB: Will not the land quake for this, and all its dwellers mourn? All of it will swell like the Nile; it will surge and then subside like the Nile in Egypt.
9 GLT وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنِّي أُغَيِّبُ ٱلشَّمْسَ فِي ٱلظُّهْرِ، وَأُقْتِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِي يَوْمِ نُورٍ، BSB BSB: And in that day, declares the Lord GOD, I will make the sun go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the daytime.
10 GLT وَأُحَوِّلُ أَعْيَادَكُمْ نَوْحًا، وَجَمِيعَ أَغَانِيكُمْ مَرَاثِيَ، وَأُصْعِدُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَحْقَاءِ مِسْحًا، وَعَلَى كُلِّ رَأْسٍ قَرَعَةً، وَأَجْعَلُهَا كَمَنَاحَةِ ٱلْوَحِيدِ وَآخِرَهَا يَوْمًا مُرًّا! BSB BSB: I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation. I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth and every head to be shaved. I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, and its outcome like a bitter day.
11 GLT «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أُرْسِلُ جُوعًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، لَا جُوعًا لِلْخُبْزِ، وَلَا عَطَشًا لِلْمَاءِ، بَلْ لِٱسْتِمَاعِ كَلِمَاتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. BSB BSB: Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord GOD, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
12 GLT فَيَجُولُونَ مِنْ بَحْرٍ إِلَى بَحْرٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ إِلَى ٱلْمَشْرِقِ، يَتَطَوَّحُونَ لِيَطْلُبُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَجِدُونَهَا. BSB BSB: People will stagger from sea to sea and roam from north to east, seeking the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.
13 GLT فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تَذْبُلُ بِٱلْعَطَشِ ٱلْعَذَارَى ٱلْجَمِيلَاتُ وَٱلْفِتْيَانُ، BSB BSB: In that day the lovely young women—the young men as well—will faint from thirst.
14 GLT ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِذَنْبِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: حَيٌّ إِلَهُكَ يَا دَانُ، وَحَيَّةٌ طَرِيقَةُ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. فَيَسْقُطُونَ وَلَا يَقُومُونَ بَعْدُ». BSB BSB: Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the way of Beersheba lives’—they will fall, never to rise again.”
