(1)Οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος Κύριος, ¹καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγος ἰξευτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν Τί οὺ βλέπεις, Ἀμώς; καὶ εἶπα Ἄγγος ἰξευτοῦ.

καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἥκει τὸ πέρας ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ, οὐ προσθήσω ἔτι τοῦ παρελθεῖν αὐτόν.

καὶ ὀλολύξει τὰ φατνώματα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, λέγει κύριος Κύριος· πολὺς ὁ πεπτωκὼς ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἐπιρρίψω σιωπήν.

ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἐκτρίβοντες εἰς τὸ πρωὶ πένητα, καὶ καταδυναστεύοντες πτωχοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς,

λέγοντες Πότε διελεύσεται ὁ μὴν καὶ ἐμπολήσομεν, καὶ τὰ σάββατα καὶ ἀνοίξομεν θησαυρὸν τοῦ ποιῆσαι μικρὸν μέτρον, καὶ τοῦ μεγαλῦναι στάθμιον καὶ ποιῆσαι ζυγὸν ἄδικον,

τοῦ κτᾶσθαι ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ πτωχοὺς καὶ ταπεινὸν ἀντὶ ὑποδημάτων, καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς γενήματος ἐμπορευσόμεθα;

ὀμνύει Κύριος κατὰ τῆς ὑπερηφανίας Ἰακώβ Εἰ ἐπιλησθήσεται εἰς νῖκος πάντα τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν,

καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐ ¹³ ταραχθήσεται ἡ γῆ, καὶ πενθήσει πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς συντέλεια, καὶ καταβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς Αἰγύπτου.

καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, λέγει κύριος Κύριος, καὶ δύσεται ὁ ἥλιος μεσημβρίας. καὶ συσκοτάσει ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τὸ φῶς·

καὶ μεταστρέψω τὰς ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος, καὶ πάσας τὰς ᾠδὰς ὑμῶν εἰς θρῆνον, καὶ ἀναβιβῶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὀσφὺν σάκκον, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν φαλάκρωμα, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὸν ὡς πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ, καὶ τοὺς μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡμέραν ὀδύνης.

ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος. καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, οὐ λιμὸν ἄρτων οὐδὲ δίψαν ὕδατος, ἀλλὰ λιμὸν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι λόγον Κύριου·

καὶ σαλευθἡσονται ὕδατα τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἕως ἀνατολῶν περιδραμοῦνται ζητοῦντες τὸν λόγον Κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰρωσιν.

ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκλείψουσιν αἱ παρθένοι αἱ καλαὶ καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ἐν δίψει,

οἱ ὀμνύοντες κατὰ τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ Σαμαρείας, καὶ οἱ λέγοντες Ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, Δάν, καὶ ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, δηρσάβεε. καὶ πεσοῦνται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστῶσιν ἔτι.

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.) — 8 focus

Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.

He said, Amos, what do you see? I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Yahweh said to me, The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day, says the Lord Yahweh. The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.

Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, And cause the poor of the land to fail,

Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, Making the ephah small, and the shekel large, And dealing falsely with balances of deceit;

That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes, And sell the sweepings with the wheat?

Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

Won’t the land tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; And it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

It will happen in that day, says the Lord Yahweh, That I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And I will darken the earth in the clear day.

I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; And I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, And baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, And the end of it like a bitter day.

Behold, the days come, says the Lord Yahweh, That I will send a famine in the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of Yahweh.

They will wander from sea to sea, And from the north even to the east; They will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, And will not find it.

In that day the beautiful virgins And the young men will faint for thirst.

Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, And say, As your god, Dan, lives; And, As the way of Beersheba lives; They will fall, and never rise up again.
