Amos 7

1Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπιγονὴ ἀκρίδων ἐρχομένη ἑωθινὴ, καὶ ἰδοὺ βροῦχος εἷς, Γὼγ ὁ βασιλεύς.

2And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν συντελέσῃ τοῦ καταφαγεῖν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπα, Κύριε Κύριε, ἵλεως γενοῦ· τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ἰακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι.

3Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.Μετανόησον Κύριε ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει Κύριος.

4Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλεσε τὴν δίκην ἐν πυρὶ Κύριος, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν ἄβυσσον τὴν πολλὴν, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν μερίδα Κυρίου.

5Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.Καὶ εἶπα, Κύριε κόπασον δὴ, τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ἰακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι.

6This also shall not be, says the Lord.Μετανόησον Κύριε ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ γένηται, λέγει Κύριος.

7Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand was an adamant.Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τείχους ἀδαμαντίνου, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀδάμας.

8And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, τί σὺ ὁρᾷς Ἀμώς; καὶ εἶπα, ἀδάμαντα· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐντάσσω ἀδάμαντα ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ μου Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἔτι μὴ προσθῶ τοῦ παρελθεῖν αὐτόν.

9And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.Καὶ ἀφανισθήσονται βωμοὶ τοῦ γέλωτος, καὶ αἱ τελεταὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐρημωθήσονται, καὶ ἀναστήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.

10Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἀμασίας ὁ ἱερεὺς Βαιθὴλ πρὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, συστροφὰς ποιεῖται κατὰ σοῦ Ἀμὼς ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ, οὐ μὴ δύνηται ἡ γῆ ὑπενεγκεῖν πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ.

11For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.Διότι τάδε λέγει Ἀμὼς, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει Ἱεροβοὰμ, ὁ δὲ Ἰσραὴλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

12And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμασίας πρὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ ὁρῶν βάδιζε, ἐκχῶρησον σὺ εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐκεῖ καταβίου, καὶ ἐκεῖ προφητεύσεις,

13but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.εἰς δὲ Βαιθὴλ οὐκ ἔτι προσθήσεις τοῦ προφητεῦσαι, ὅτι ἁγίασμα βασιλέως ἐστὶ, καὶ οἶκος βασιλείας ἐστί.

14And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀμὼς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἀμασίαν, οὐκ ἤμην προφήτης ἐγὼ, οὐδὲ υἱὸς προφήτου, ἀλλʼ ἢ αἰπόλος ἤμην, καὶ κνίζων συκάμινα·

15And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με Κύριος ἐκ τῶν προβάτων, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, βάδιζε, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ.

16And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.Καὶ νῦν ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου· σὺ λέγεις, μὴ προφήτευε ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀχλαγωγήσῃς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακώβ.

17Therefore 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 measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.Διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἡ γυνή σου ἐν τῇ πόλει πορνεύσει, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ ἡ γῆ σου ἐν σχοινίῳ καταμετρηθήσεται, καὶ σὺ ἐν γῇ ἀκαθάρτῳ τελευτήσεις, ὁ δὲ Ἰσραὴλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ· οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος Κύριος.
