Amos (עמוס) - Amos 10

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 שִׁמְעוּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל	1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אֶל־דֶּרֶךְ הַגֹּויִם אַל־תִּלְמָדוּ וּמֵאֹתֹות הַשָּׁמַיִם אַל־תֵּחָתּוּ כִּי־יֵחַתּוּ הַגֹּויִם מֵהֵמָּה	2 Thus says the LORD: Learn not the customs of the nations, and have no fear of the signs of the heavens, though the nations fear them.
3 כִּי־חֻקֹּות הָעַמִּים הֶבֶל הוּא כִּי־עֵץ מִיַּעַר כְּרָתֹו מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי־חָרָשׁ בַּמַּעֲצָד	3 For the cult idols of the nations are nothing, wood cut from the forest, Wrought by craftsmen with the adze,
4 בְּכֶסֶף וּבְזָהָב יְיַפֵּהוּ בְּמַסְמְרֹות וּבְמַקָּבֹות יְחַזְּקוּם וְלֹוא יָפִיק	4 adorned with silver and gold. With nails and hammers they are fastened, that they may not totter.
5 כְּתֹמֶר מִקְשָׁה הֵמָּה וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ נָשֹׂוא יִנָּשׂוּא כִּי לֹא יִצְעָדוּ אַל־תִּירְאוּ מֵהֶם כִּי־לֹא יָרֵעוּ וְגַם־הֵיטֵיב אֵין אֹותָם׃ ס	5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, they cannot speak; They must be carried about, for they cannot walk. Fear them not, they can do no harm, neither is it in their power to do good.
6 מֵאֵין כָּמֹוךָ יְהוָה גָּדֹול אַתָּה וְגָדֹול שִׁמְךָ בִּגְבוּרָה	6 No one is like you, O LORD, great are you, great and mighty is your name.
7 מִי לֹא יִרָאֲךָ מֶלֶךְ הַגֹּויִם כִּי לְךָ יָאָתָה כִּי בְכָל־חַכְמֵי הַגֹּויִם וּבְכָל־מַלְכוּתָם מֵאֵין כָּמֹוךָ	7 Who would not fear you, King of the nations, for it is your due! Among all the wisest of the nations, and in all their domain, there is none like you.
8 וּבְאַחַת יִבְעֲרוּ וְיִכְסָלוּ מוּסַר הֲבָלִים עֵץ הוּא	8 One and all they are dumb and senseless, these idols they teach about are wooden:
9 כֶּסֶף מְרֻקָּע מִתַּרְשִׁישׁ יוּבָא וְזָהָב מֵאוּפָז מַעֲשֵׂה חָרָשׁ וִידֵי צֹורֵף תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן לְבוּשָׁם מַעֲשֵׂה חֲכָמִים כֻּלָּם	9 Silver strips brought from Tarshish, and gold from Ophir, The work of the craftsman and the handiwork of the smelter, Clothed with violet and purple- all of them the work of artisans.
10 וַיהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱמֶת הוּא־אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים וּמֶלֶךְ עֹולָם מִקִּצְפֹּו תִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא־יָכִלוּ גֹויִם זַעְמֹו׃ ס	10 The LORD is true God, he is the living God, the eternal King, Before whose anger the earth quakes, whose wrath the nations cannot endure:
11 כִּדְנָה תֵּאמְרוּן לְהֹום אֱלָהַיָּא דִּי־שְׁמַיָּא וְאַרְקָא לָא עֲבַדוּ יֵאבַדוּ מֵאַרְעָא וּמִן־תְּחֹות שְׁמַיָּא אֵלֶּה׃ ס	11 Thus shall you say of them: Let the gods that did not make heaven and earth perish from the earth, and from beneath these heavens!
12 עֹשֵׂה אֶרֶץ בְּכֹחֹו מֵכִין תֵּבֵל בְּחָכְמָתֹו וּבִתְבוּנָתֹו נָטָה שָׁמָיִם	12 He who made the earth by his power, established the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his skill.
13 לְקֹול תִּתֹּו הֲמֹון מַיִם בַּשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה [אֶרֶץ כ] (הָאָרֶץ ק) בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה וַיֹּוצֵא רוּחַ מֵאֹצְרֹתָיו	13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar, and he brings up clouds from the end of the earth; He makes the lightning flash in the rain, and releases stormwinds from their chambers.
14 נִבְעַר כָּל־אָדָם מִדַּעַת הֹבִישׁ כָּל־צֹורֵף מִפָּסֶל כִּי שֶׁקֶר נִסְכֹּו וְלֹא־רוּחַ בָּם	14 Every man is stupid, ignorant; every artisan is put to shame by his idol: He has molded a fraud, without breath of life.
15 הֶבֶל הֵמָּה מַעֲשֵׂה תַּעְתֻּעִים בְּעֵת פְּקֻדָּתָם יֹאבֵדוּ	15 Nothingness are they, a ridiculous work; they will perish in their time of punishment.
16 לֹא־כְאֵלֶּה חֵלֶק יַעֲקֹב כִּי־יֹוצֵר הַכֹּל הוּא וְיִשְׂרָאֵל שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֹו יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁמֹו׃ ס	16 Not like these is the portion of Jacob: he is the creator of all things; Israel is his very own tribe, LORD of hosts is his name.
17 אִסְפִּי מֵאֶרֶץ כִּנְעָתֵךְ [יֹשַׁבְתִּי כ] (יֹשֶׁבֶת ק) בַּמָּצֹור׃ ס	17 Lift your bundle and leave the land, O city living in a state of siege!
18 כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי קֹולֵעַ אֶת־יֹושְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ בַּפַּעַם הַזֹּאת וַהֲצֵרֹותִי לָהֶם לְמַעַן יִמְצָאוּ׃ ס	18 For thus says the LORD: Behold, this time I will sling away the inhabitants of the land; I will hem them in, that they may be taken.
19 אֹוי לִי עַל־שִׁבְרִי נַחְלָה מַכָּתִי וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי אַךְ זֶה חֳלִי וְאֶשָּׂאֶנּוּ	19 Woe is me! I am undone, my wound is incurable; Yet I had thought: if I make light of my wound, I can bear it.
20 אָהֳלִי שֻׁדָּד וְכָל־מֵיתָרַי נִתָּקוּ בָּנַי יְצָאֻנִי וְאֵינָם אֵין־נֹטֶה עֹוד אָהֳלִי וּמֵקִים יְרִיעֹותָי	20 My tent is ruined, all its cords are severed. My sons have left me, they are no more: no one to pitch my tent, no one to raise its curtains.
21 כִּי נִבְעֲרוּ הָרֹעִים וְאֶת־יְהוָה לֹא דָרָשׁוּ עַל־כֵּן לֹא הִשְׂכִּילוּ וְכָל־מַרְעִיתָם נָפֹוצָה׃ ס	21 Yes, the shepherds were stupid as cattle, the LORD they sought not; Therefore they had no success, and all their flocks were scattered.
22 קֹול שְׁמוּעָה הִנֵּה בָאָה וְרַעַשׁ גָּדֹול מֵאֶרֶץ צָפֹון לָשׂוּם אֶת־עָרֵי יְהוּדָה שְׁמָמָה מְעֹון תַּנִּים׃ ס	22 Listen! a noise! it comes closer, a great uproar from the northern land: To turn the cities of Judah into a desert haunt of jackals.
23 יָדַעְתִּי יְהוָה כִּי לֹא לָאָדָם דַּרְכֹּו לֹא־לְאִישׁ הֹלֵךְ וְהָכִין אֶת־צַעֲדֹו	23 You know, O LORD, that man is not master of his way; Man's course is not within his choice, nor is it for him to direct his step.
24 יַסְּרֵנִי יְהוָה אַךְ־בְּמִשְׁפָּט אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ פֶּן־תַּמְעִטֵנִי	24 Punish us, O LORD, but with equity, not in anger, lest you have us dwindle away.
25 שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ עַל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מִשְׁפָּחֹות אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָאוּ כִּי־אָכְלוּ אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וַאֲכָלֻהוּ וַיְכַלֻּהוּ וְאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַׁמּוּ׃ פ	25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not, on the tribes that call not upon your name; For they have devoured Jacob utterly, and laid waste his dwelling.
