Verse 1
This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
ثُمَّ أَرَانِي السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ فِي رُؤْيَا سَلَّةً لِقِطَافِ الثِّمَارِ.
Verse 2
“What do you see, Amos?” he asked.
“A basket of ripe fruit,” I answered.
Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
وَسَأَلَنِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى يَا عَامُوسُ؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «سَلَّةً مَلِيئَةً بِثِمَارِ الصَّيْفِ النَّاضِجَةِ». فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «لَقَدْ دَنَتْ نِهَايَةُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَنْ أَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ بَعْدُ.
Verse 3
“In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing.[a] Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!”
فَتَتَحَوَّلُ أَغَانِي قُصُورِهِمْ إِلَى عَوِيلٍ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَتَكْثُرُ الْجُثَثُ وَيَطْرَحُونَهَا فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ بِصَمْتٍ».
Verse 4
Hear this, you who trample the needy
and do away with the poor of the land,
and do away with the poor of the land,
اسْتَمِعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا الدَّائِسُونَ عَلَى الْبَائِسِينَ، يَا مَنْ حَاوَلْتُمْ أَنْ تَقْضُوا عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ الأَرْضِ،
Verse 5
saying,
“When will the New Moon be over
that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
that we may market wheat?”—
skimping on the measure,
boosting the price
and cheating with dishonest scales,
قَائِلِينَ: «مَتَى يَنْقَضِي أَوَّلُ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَبِيعَ الْقَمْحَ؟ مَتَى يَمْضِي السَّبْتُ لِنَعْرِضَ الْقَمْحَ فِي السُّوقِ، فَنَعْمَدَ إِلَى تَصْغِيرِ حَجْمِ مِكْيَالِ الإِيفَةِ وَنَرْفَعَ الأَسْعَارَ، وَنَسْتَعْمِلَ مِيزَاناً مَغْشُوشاً.
Verse 6
buying the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.
لِنَشْتَرِيَ الْمِسْكِينَ بِقِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَالْبَائِسَ بِنَعْلَيْنِ، وَنَبِيعَ نُفَايَةَ الْقَمْحِ؟»
Verse 7
The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget anything they have done.
قَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ بِعِزَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ قَائِلاً: «لَنْ أَنْسَى شَيْئاً مِنْ مَسَاوِئِهِمْ.
Verse 8
“Will not the land tremble for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.
ألا تَرْتَعِبُ الأَرْضُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ ذَلِكَ، فَيَنُوحَ كُلُّ سَاكِنٍ فِيهَا، فَتَطْمُوَ كَنَهْرٍ، وَتَرْتَفِعَ وَتَنْخَفِضَ كَنِيلِ مِصْرَ؟
Verse 9
“In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَجْعَلُ الشَّمْسَ تَغْرُبُ عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَأَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ بِالظُّلْمَةِ فِي رَابِعَةِ النَّهَارِ.
Verse 10
I will turn your religious festivals into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.
I will make all of you wear sackcloth
and shave your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son
and the end of it like a bitter day.

أُحَوِّلُ أَعْيَادَكُمْ إِلَى مَآتِمَ، وَأَغَانِيَكُمْ إِلَى مَرَاثٍ، وَأُلْبِسُكُمُ الْمُسُوحَ عَلَى أَحْقَائِكُمْ، وَأُفْشِي الصَّلَعَ فِي كُلِّ رَأْسٍ، فَتُصْبِحُ أَعْيَادُكُمْ كَمَنَاحَةٍ عَلَى وَحِيدٍ، وَنِهَايَتُهَا كَيَوْمٍ مُفْعَمٍ بِالْمَرَارَةِ.
Verse 11
“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ أَجْعَلُ فِيهَا الْمَجَاعَةَ تَنْتَشِرُ فِي الأَرْضِ، لَا مَجَاعَةً إِلَى الْخُبْزِ، وَلا ظَمَأً إِلَى الْمَاءِ إِنَّمَا لِسَمَاعِ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.
Verse 12
People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.
فَيَهِيمُونَ مِنْ بَحْرٍ إِلَى بَحْرٍ، وَمِنَ الشِّمَالِ إِلَى الشَّرْقِ. يَذْهَبُونَ وَيَجِيئُونَ بَحْثاً عَنْ كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَلا يَحْظَوْنَ بِها.
Verse 13
“In that day
“the lovely young women and strong young men
will faint because of thirst.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُغْشَى عَلَى العَذَارَى الْجَمِيلاتِ وَالْفِتْيَانِ مِنْ فَرْطِ الظَّمَإِ.
Verse 14
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria—
who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’
or, ‘As surely as the god[b] of Beersheba lives’—
they will fall, never to rise again.”

أَمَّا الَّذِينَ يُقْسِمُونَ بِأَوْثَانِ السَّامِرَةِ قَائِلِينَ: حَيٌّ إِلَهُكَ يَا دَانُ، وَحَيٌّ مَعْبُودُ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. هَؤُلاءِ يَسْقُطُونَ وَلا يَنْهَضُونَ أَبَداً ثَانِيَةً».
