| Amos 5 Text (WEB)
|
- Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
- "The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up."
- For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
- For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel: "Seek me, and you will live;
- but don't seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don't pass to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
- Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
- You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:
- seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
- who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
- They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
- Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
- For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins-- you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.
- Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
- Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
- Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph."
- Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord: "Wailing will be in all the broad ways; and they will say in all the streets, 'Alas! Alas!' and they will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
- In all vineyards there will be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you," says Yahweh.
- "Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
- As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
- Won't the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
- I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
- Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
- Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
- But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
- "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
- You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
- Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus," says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.

- שמעו את־הדבר הזה אשר אנכי נשא עליכם קינה בית ישראל׃
- נפלה לא־תוסיף קום בתולת ישראל נטשה על־אדמתה אין מקימה׃
- כי כה אמר אדני יהוה העיר היצאת אלף תשאיר מאה והיוצאת מאה תשאיר עשרה לבית ישראל׃ ס
- כי כה אמר יהוה לבית ישראל דרשוני וחיו׃
- ואל־תדרשו בית־אל והגלגל לא תבאו ובאר שבע לא תעברו כי הגלגל גלה יגלה ובית־אל יהיה לאון׃
- דרשו את־יהוה וחיו פן־יצלח כאש בית יוסף ואכלה ואין־מכבה לבית־אל׃
- ההפכים ללענה משפט וצדקה לארץ הניחו׃
- עשה כימה וכסיל והפך לבקר צלמות ויום לילה החשיך הקורא למי־הים וישפכם על־פני הארץ יהוה שמו׃ ס
- המבליג שד על־עז ושד על־מבצר יבוא׃
- שנאו בשער מוכיח ודבר תמים יתעבו׃
- לכן יען בושסכם על־דל ומשאת־בר תקחו ממנו בתי גזית בניתם ולא־תשבו בם כרמי־חמד נטעתם ולא תשתו את־יינם׃
- כי ידעתי רבים פשעיכם ועצמים חטאתיכם צררי צדיק לקחי כפר ואביונים בשער הטו׃
- לכן המשכיל בעת ההיא ידם כי עת רעה היא׃
- דרשו־טוב ואל־רע למען תחיו ויהי־כן יהוה אלהי־צבאות אתכם כאשר אמרתם׃
- שנאו־רע ואהבו טוב והציגו בשער משפט אולי יחןן יהוה אלהי־צבאות שארית יוסף׃ ס
- לכן כה־אמר יהוה אלהי צבאות אדני בכל־רחבות מספד ובכל־חוצות יאמרו הו־הו וקראו אכר אל־אבל ומספד אל־יודעי נהי׃
- ובכל־כרמים מספד כי־אעבר בקרבך אמר יהוה׃ ס
- הוי המתאוים את־יום יהוה למה־זה לכם יום יהוה הוא־חשך ולא־אור׃
- כאשר ינוס איש מפני הארי ופגעו הדב ובא הבית וסמך ידו על־הקיר ונשכו הנחש׃
- הלא־חשך יום יהוה ולא־אור ואפל ולא־נגה לו׃
- שנאתי מאסתי חגיכם ולא אריח בעצרתיכם׃
- כי אם־תעלו־לי עלות ומנחתיכם לא ארצה ושלם מריאיכם לא אביט׃
- הסר מעלי המון שריך וזמרת נבליך לא אשמע׃
- ויגל כמים משפט וצדקה כנחל איתן׃
- הזבחים ומנחה הגשתם־לי במדבר ארבעים שנה בית ישראל׃
- ונשאתם את סכות מלככם ואת כיון צלמיכם כוכב אלהיכם אשר עשיתם לכם׃
- והגליתי אתכם מהלאה לדמשק אמר יהוה אלהי־צבאות שמו׃ ף

| Amos 5 Text (Latin)
|
- Audite verbum istud, quod ego levo super vos planctum : domus Israël cecidit, et non adjiciet ut resurgat.
- Virgo Israël projecta est in terram suam, non est qui suscitet eam.
- Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Urbs de qua egrediebantur mille, relinquentur in ea centum ; et de qua egrediebantur centum, relinquentur in ea decem in domo Israël.
- Quia hæc dicit Dominus domui Israël : Quærite me, et vivetis.
- Et nolite quærere Bethel, et in Galgalam nolite intrare, et in Bersabee non transibitis, quia Galgala captiva ducetur, et Bethel erit inutilis.
- Quærite Dominum, et vivite (ne forte comburatur ut ignis domus Joseph, et devorabit, et non erit qui extinguat Bethel :
- qui convertitis in absinthium judicium, et justitiam in terra relinquitis) :
- facientem Arcturum et Orionem, et convertentem in mane tenebras, et diem in noctem mutantem ; qui vocat aquas maris, et effundit eas super faciem terræ ; Dominus nomen est ejus :
- qui subridet vastitatem super robustum, et depopulationem super potentem affert.
- Odio habuerunt corripientem in porta, et loquentem perfecte abominati sunt.
- Idcirco, pro eo quod diripiebatis pauperem, et prædam electam tollebatis ab eo, domos quadro lapide ædificabitis, et non habitabitis in eis ; vineas plantabis amantissimas, et non bibetis vinum earum.
- Quia cognovi multa scelera vestra, et fortia peccata vestra : hostes justi, accipientes munus, et pauperes deprimentes in porta.
- Ideo prudens in tempore illo tacebit, quia tempus malum est.
- Quærite bonum, et non malum, ut vivatis ; et erit Dominus Deus exercituum vobiscum, sicut dixistis.
- Odite malum et diligite bonum, et constituite in porta judicium : si forte misereatur Dominus Deus exercituum reliquiis Joseph.
- Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum, dominator : In omnibus plateis planctus ; et in cunctis quæ foris sunt, dicetur : Væ, væ ! et vocabunt agricolam ad luctum, et ad planctum eos qui sciunt plangere.
- Et in omnibus vineis erit planctus, quia pertransibo in medio tui, dicit Dominus.
- Væ desiderantibus diem Domini ! ad quid eam vobis ? Dies Domini ista, tenebræ, et non lux.
- Quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis, et occurrat ei ursus ; et ingrediatur domum, et innitatur manu sua super parietem, et mordeat eum coluber.
- Numquid non tenebræ dies Domini, et non lux ; et caligo, et non splendor in ea ?
- Odi, et projeci festivitates vestras, et non capiam odorem cœtuum vestrorum.
- Quod si obtuleritis mihi holocautomata, et munera vestra, non suscipiam ; et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam.
- Aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum ; et cantica lyræ tuæ non audiam.
- Et revelabitur quasi aqua judicium, et justitia quasi torrens fortis.
- Numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis, domus Israël ?
- et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro, et imaginem idolorum vestrorum, sidus dei vestri, quæ fecistis vobis.
- Et migrare vos faciam trans Damascum, dicit Dominus : Deus exercituum nomen ejus.

| Amos 5 Text (KJV)
|
- Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
- The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
- For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
- For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
- But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
- Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
- Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
- Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
- That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
- They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
- Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
- For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
- Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
- Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
- Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
- Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
- And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
- Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
- As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
- Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
- I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
- Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
- Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
- But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
- Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
- But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
- Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
