Amos 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more.	1 ܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܫܩܠ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܘܠܝܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
2 The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to raise her up.	2 ܢܦܠܬ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܣܦ ܠܡܩܡ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܩܬ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܩܝܡ ܠܗ̇
3 For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel.	3 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ̇ ܐܠܦ ܢܫܬܚܪܘܢ ܒܗ̇ ܡܐܐ ܘܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ̇ ܡܐܐ ܢܫܬܚܪܘܢ ܒܗ̇ ܥܣܪܐ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
4 For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you shall live.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܥܐܘܢܝ ܠܝ ܘܚܝܘ
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.	5 ܘܠܐ ܬܒܥܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܘܠܓܠܓܠܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܠܘܢ ܘܠܒܪܫܒܥ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܪܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܠܓܠܐ ܡܫܬܒܝܘ ܬܫܬܒܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ
6 Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.	6 ܒܥܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܚܝܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܩܕ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܒܝܬ ܝܘܣܦ ܘܢܐܟܘܠ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܕܥܟ
7 You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,	7 ܕܗܦܟܝܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܡܪܪ̈ܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܫܒܩܘ
8 Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.	8 ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܟܝܡܐ ܘܥܝܘܬܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܠܨܦܪܐ ܛ̈ܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܠܠܝܐ ܐܚܫܟ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܘܐܫܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܗ
9 He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.	9 ܕܡܫܠܛ ܚܠܫܐ ܥܠ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܘܡܟܝܟܐ ܥܠ ܪܡܐ ܡܥܠܐ
10 They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred him that speaketh perfectly.	10 ܣܢܝܢ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܘܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܬܐ ܡܣܠܝܢ
11 Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.	11 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܕܩܦܚܬܘܢ ܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܓܒܝ̈ܐ ܢܣܒܬܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܒܬ̈ܐ ܕܦܣܝܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܟܪ̈ܡܐ ܕܪܓܬܐ ܕܢܨܒܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܚܡܪܗܘܢ
12 Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sine: enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate.	12 ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܣ̈ܓܝܐܝܢ ܚ̈ܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܫܝ̈ܢܝܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܐ̈ܠܘܨܘܗܝ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܢܣܒܘ ܫܘܚܕܐ ܘܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܨܠܘ
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is an evil time.	13 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܣܬܟܠ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܢܫܬܘܩ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܒܝܫܬܐ
14 Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the God of hosts will be with you, as you have said.	14 ܒܥܘ ܛܒܬ̈ܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܕܬܚܘܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪܬܘܢ
15 Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.	15 ܣܢܘ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܘ ܛܒܬ̈ܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܟܒܪ ܢܪܚܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܟܗ ܕܝܘܣܦ
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to lament.	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ. ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܘܩܐ ܡܪ̈ܩܕܬܐ. ܘܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ. ܗܘܝ ܗܘܝ. ܘܢܩܪܘܢ ܠܐܟܪ̈ܐ ܠܐܒܠܐ ܘܠܡܪ̈ܩܕܬܐ ܘܠܝܕ̈ܥܝ ܐܘ̈ܠܝܬܐ.
17 And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.	17 ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܪ̈ܡܐ ܡܪ̈ܩܕܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܓܘܟܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
18 Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.	18 ܘܝ ܠܕܪܓܝܢ ܠܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܚܫܘܟ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܝܪ
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.	19 ܐܝܟ ܕܥܪܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܪܝܐ ܘܦܓܥܐ ܒܗ ܕܒܐ ܘܥܐܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܣܡܟ ܐܝܕܗ ܥܠ ܐܣܬܐ ܘܢܟܬ ܠܗ ܚܘܝܐ
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and obscurity, and no brightness in it?	20 ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܚܫܘܟ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܝܪ ܥܡܘܛ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܙܗܪܐ
21 I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.	21 ܣܢܝܬ ܘܐܣܠܝܬ ܥܕܥ̈ܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܝܚ ܒܥܨܪ̈ܬܟܘܢ
22 And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.	22 ܐܦܢ ܬܣܩܘܢ ܠܝ ܝܩ̈ܕܐ ܫ̈ܠܡܐ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܐ ܘܒܫܘܦܪܐ ܕܡ̈ܦܛܡܝܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܚܘܪ
23 Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.	23 ܐܥܒܪ ܡܢܝ ܩܠܐ ܕܙܡܪܟ ܘܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܟܢܪܟ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܐܫܡܥ
24 But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.	24 ܘܢܬܓܠܐ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܠܬܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ
25 Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?	25 ܕܠܡܐ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
26 But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.	26 ܐܠܐ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܢܗ ܕܡܠܟܘܡ ܘܟܘܢ ܨܠܡܟܘܢ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ
27 And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.	27 ܐܫܒܝܟܘܢ ܠܗܠ ܡܢ ܕܪܡܣܘܩ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܫܡܗ
