Οὐαὶ τοῖς ἐξουθενοῦσιν Σειὼν καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιυ ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σαμαρείας· ἀπετρύγησαν ἀρχὰς ἐθνῶν, καὶ εἰσῆλθον αὐτοί. οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,

διάβητε πάντες καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ διέλθατε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ἐμὰθ Ραββά, καὶ κατάβητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Γὲθ ἀλλοφύλων, τὰς κρατίστας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τούτων, εί πλέονα τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἐστὶν τῶν ὑμετέρων ὁρίων.

οἱ ἐρχόμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κακήν, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες καὶ ἐφαπτόμενοι σαββάτων ψευδῶν,

οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπὶ κλινῶν ἐλεφαντίναων καὶ κατασπαταλῶντες ἐπὶ ταῖς στρωμναῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἒσθοντες ἐρίφους ἐκ ποιμνίων καὶ μοσχάρια ἐκ μέσου βουκολίων γαλαθηνά,

οἱ ἐπικροτοῦντες πρὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῶν ὀργάνων, ὡς ἑστηκότα ἐλογίσαντο καὶ οὐχ ὡς φεύγοντα·

οἱ πίνοντες τὸν διυλισμένον οἰνον, καὶ τὰ πρῶτα μύρα χριόμενοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδέν ἐπὶ τῇ συντριβῇ Ἰωσήφ.

διὰ τοῦτο νῦν αἰχμάλωτοι ἔσονται ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς δυναστῶν, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται χρεμετισμὸς ἵππων ἐξ Ἐφράιμ.

ὅτι ὠμοσεν Κύριος καθʼ ἑαυτοῦ διότι Βδελύσσομαι ἐγὼ πᾶσαν τὴν ὕβριν Ἰακώβ, καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτοῦ μεμίσηκα, καὶ ἐξαρῶ πόλιν σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν·

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ὑπολειφθῶσιν δέκα ἐν οἰκίᾳ μιῷ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται καὶ ὑπολειφθήσονται οἱ κατάλοιποι,

καὶλήμψονται οἱ οἰκεῖοι οἱ αὐτῶν καὶ παραβιῶνται τοῦ ἐξενέγκαι τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἐρεῖ τοῖς προεστηκόσι τῆς οἰκίας Εἰ ἔτι ὑπάρχει παρὰ σοί καὶ ἐρεῖ Οὐκ ἔτι καὶ ἐρεῖ Σίγα, ἕνεκα τοῦ μὴ ὀνομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου.

διότι ἰδοὺ Κύριος ἐντέλλεται, καὶ ¹³ πατάξει τὸν οἶκον τὸν μέγαν θλάσμασιν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν μικρὸν όάγμασιν.

κζ διώξονται ἐν πέτραις ἵπποι ; εί παρασιωπήσονται ἐν θηλείαις; ὅτι ἐξεστρέψατε εἰς θυμὸν κρίμα, καὶ καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης εἰς πικρίαν,

οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπʼ οὐδενὶ λόγῳ, οἱ λέγοντες Οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι ἡμῶν ἔσχομεν κέρατα;

διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπεγείρω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, ἔθνος, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων. καὶ ἐκθλί ψουσιν ὑμᾶς τοῦ μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς Ἐμὰθ καὶ ὡς τοῦ χειμάρρου τῶν δυσμῶν.

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.) — 6 focus

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, And to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, The notable men of the chief of the nations, To whom the house of Israel come!

Go to Calneh, and see; And from there go to Hamath the great; Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border?

Those who put far away the evil day, And cause the seat of violence to come near;

Who lie on beds of ivory, And stretch themselves on their couches, And eat the lambs out of the flock, And the calves out of the midst of the stall;

Who strum on the strings of a harp; Who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;

Who drink wine in bowls, And anoint themselves with the best oils; But they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; And the feasting and lounging will end.

The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself, says Yahweh, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, And detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house, That they shall die.

When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with you? And he says, No; then he will say, Hush! Indeed we must not mention the name of Yahweh.

For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, And the little house into bits.

Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, And the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;

You who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?

For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel, Says Yahweh, the God of hosts; And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
