Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου τοῦτον ὃν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς θρθῆνον Οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ

ἔπεσεν, οὐκέτι μὴ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι· παρθένος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσφαλεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἄναστήσων αὐτήν.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Κύριος Ἡ πόλις ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο χίλιοι, ὑπολειφθήσονται ρ΄, καὶ ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο ρ, ὑπολειφθήσονται δέκα τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.

διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραήλ Ἐκζητήσατέ με, καὶ ζήσεσθε·

καὶ μὴ ἐκζητεῖτε Βαιθὴλ καὶ εἰς Γάλγαλα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου μὴ διαβαίνετε, ὅτι Γάλγαλα αἰχμαλωτευομένη αἰχμαλωτευθήσεται, καὶ Βαιθὴλ ἔσται ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρχουσα.

ἐκζητήσατε τὸν κύριον, καὶ ζῆτε, ὅπως μὴ ἀναλάμψῃ ὡς πῦρ ὁ οἶκος Ἰωσὴφ καὶ καταφάγῃ αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων τῷ οἵκῳ Ἰσραήλ.

ὁ ποιῶν εἰς ὕψος κρίμα, καὶ δικαιοσύνην εἰς γῆν ἔθηκεν·

ὁ ποιῶν πάντα καὶ μετασκευάζων, καὶ ἐκτρέπων εἰς τὸ πρωὶ σκιάν, καὶ ἡμέραν εἰς νύκτα συσκοτάζων· ὁ προσκαλούμενος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐκχέων αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ·

ὁ διαιρῶν συντριμμὸν ἐπʼ ἰσχύν, καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπὶ ὀχύρωμα ἐπάγων.

ἐμίσησαν ἐν πύλαις ἐλέγχοντα, καὶ λόγον ὅσιον ἐβδελύξαντο.

¹³

διὰ τοῦτο ἀυθʼ ὧν κατεκονδύλιζον πτωχούς, καὶ δῶρα ἐκλεκτὰ ἐδέξασθε παρʼ αὐτῶν, οἴκους ξεστοὺς ᾠκοδομήσατε καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσητε ἐν αὐτοῖς, ἀμπελῶνας ἐπιθυμητοὺς ἐφυτεύσατε καὶ οὐ μὴ πίητε τὸν οἶνον ἐξ αὐτῶν.

ὅτι ἔγνων πολλὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἵσχυραὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν καταπατοῦσαι δίκαιον, λαμβάνοντες ἀνταλλάγμστα καὶ πένητας ἐυ πύλαις ἐκκλίνοντες.

διὰ τοῦτο ὁ συνίων ἐν τῶ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι καιρὸς πονηρῶν ἐστιν.

ἐκζητήσατε τὸ καλὸν καὶ μὴ πονηρόν, ὅπως ζήσητε, καὶ ἔσται οὕτως μεθʼ ὑμῶν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ· ὃν τρόπον εἵπατε

Μεμισήκαμεν τὰ πονηρὰ καὶ ὴγαπήκαμεν τὰ καλά, καὶ ἀποκαταστήσατε ἐν πύλαις κρίμα, ὅπως ἐλεήσῃ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ τοὺς περιλοίπους τοῦ Ἰωσήφ.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ Ἐν πάσαις ταῖς σλατείαις κοπετός, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς ὀηθήσεται Οὐαὶ οὐαί κληθήσεται γεαωργὸς εἰς πένθος καὶ κοπετόν, καὶ εἰς εἰδότας θρθῆνον,

καὶ ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς κοπετός, διότι ἐλεύσομαι διὰ μέσου σου, εἶπεν Κύριος.

οὐαὶ οἱ ἐπιθυμοῦντες τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίου· ἵνα τί αὕτη ὑμῖν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς.

ὃν τρόπον ἐὰν φύγῃ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ λέοντος, καὶ ἐμπέσῃ αὐτῷ ἡ ἄρκος, καὶ εἰσπηδήσῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπερείσηται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ δάκῃ αὐτὸν ὄφις.

οὐχὶ σκότος ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ οὐ φῶς καὶ γνόφος οὐκ ἔχων φέγγος αὕτη;

μεμίσηκα, ἀπῶσμαι ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀσφρανθῶ θυσίας ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ὑμῶν.

διότι ἐὰν ἐνέγκητέ μοι ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας ὑμῶν, οὐ προσδέξομαι, καὶ σωτηρίους ἐπιφανείας ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιβλέψομαι.

⁴⁵

μετάστησον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἥχον ᾠδῶν σου, καὶ ψαλμὸν ὀργάνων ⁶ σου οὐκ ἀκούσομαι·

καὶ κυλισθήσεται ὡς ὕδωρ κρίμα, καὶ δικαιοσύνη ὡς χειμάρρους ἄβατος.

μὴ σφάγια καὶ θυσίας προσηνέγκατέ μοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμᾳῳ μ ἔτη, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ;

καὶ ἀνελάβετε τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Μολόχ καὶ τὸ ἄστρον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν Ῥαιφάν, τοὺς τύπους αὐτῶν οὓς ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς·

καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Δαμασκοῦ, λέγει Κύριος, ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

Ἀμώς (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Amos Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 5 focus

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 hewn 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 he who is prudent shall keep silence 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 hosts, 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 hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, 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.

Will the day of Yahweh not 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?

Yes, you have borne 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 hosts.
