Amos 7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.	1 ܗܟܢܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܩܡܨܐ ܒܪܝܫ ܡܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܩܫܐ ܘܗܘ ܠܩܫܐ ܒܬܪ ܓܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ
2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, "O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"	2 ܘܟܕ ܓܡܪ ܠܡܐܟܠܗ ܠܥܣܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܣܢܝ ܡܢܘ ܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܥܘܪ ܗܘ
3 The LORD repented concerning this; "It shall not be," said the LORD.	3 ܐܗܦܟܝܗ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܗܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ
4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.	4 ܗܟܢܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܩܪܐ ܠܡܕܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܘܐܟܠܬ ܠܬܗܘܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܐܟܠܬ ܠܦܠܓܘܬܐ
5 Then I said, "O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"	5 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܣܢܝ ܡܢܘ ܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܥܘܪ ܗܘ
6 The LORD repented concerning this; "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.	6 ܐܗܦܟܝܗ̇ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܗܕܐ ܘܐܦ ܗܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ
7 He showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.	7 ܗܟܢܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܘܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܐܡ ܥܠ ܫܘܪܐ ܕܐܕܡܘܣ ܘܒܐܝܕܗ ܐܕܡܘܣ
8 And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them;	8 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܥܡܘܣ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܐܕܡܘܣ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܣܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܐܕܡܘܣ ܒܓܘ ܥܡܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܐܘܣܦ ܬܘܒ ܕܐܥܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ
9 the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."	9 ܘܢܚܪ̈ܒܢ ܦܪ̈ܟܐ ܕܓܘܚܟܐ ܘܡܩ̈ܕܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܢܚܪܒܘܢ ܘܐܩܘܡ ܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܚܪܒܐ
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.	10 ܘܫܠܚ ܐܡܘܨܝܐ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܠܘܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܕ ܥܠܝܟ ܥܡܘܣ ܒܓܘ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܣܝܒܪܘ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ
11 For thus Amos has said, 'Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܥܡܘܣ ܕܒܚܪܒܐ ܢܬܩܛܠ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܢܫܬܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܗ
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;	12 ܘܐܡܪ ܐܡܘܨܝܐ ܠܥܡܘܣ ܚܙܝܐ ܥܪܘܩ ܙܠ ܠܟ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܟܘܠ ܬܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܬܬܢܒܐ
13 but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."	13 ܘܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܠܐ ܬܘܣܦ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܬܢܒܝܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܩܕܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܗܘ
14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,	14 ܘܥܢܐ ܥܡܘܣ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܡܘܨܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܪ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܩܛ ܫܩ̈ܡܐ
15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'	15 ܘܕܒܪܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܣܬܪ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܠ ܐܬܢܒܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
16 "Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'	16 ܡܟܝܠ ܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܢܒܐ ܥܠ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܠܦ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܚܩ
17 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"	17 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܬܬܟ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܟ ܬܙܢܐ ܘܒܢܝ̈ܟ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܟ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܘܐܪܥܟ ܒܫܘܝܬܐ ܬܬܦܠܓ ܘܐܢܬ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܛܡܐܬܐ ܬܡܘܬ ܘܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܢܫܬܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܗ
