¹

Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.

¹

ΟΥΤΩΣ ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπιγονὴ ἀκρίδων ἐρχομένη ἑωθινή, καὶ ἰδοὺ βροῦχος εἷς Γὼγ ὁ βασιλεύς.

²

And 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.

²

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν συντελέσῃ τοῦ καταφαγεῖν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπα· Κύριε Κύριε, ἵλεως γενοῦ· τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν ᾿Ιακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι·

³

Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, saith the Lord.

³

μετανόησον, Κύριε, ἐπὶ τούτῳ. καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει Κύριος. —

⁴

Thus has the Lord shewed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.

⁴

Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλεσε τὴν δίκην ἐν πυρὶ Κύριος, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν ἄβυσσον τὴν πολλὴν καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν μερίδα Κυρίου.

⁵

Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray thee: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.

⁵

καὶ εἶπα· Κύριε, κόπασον δή, τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν ᾿Ιακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι·

⁶

This also shall not be, saith the Lord.

⁶

μετανόησον, Κύριε, ἐπὶ τούτῳ. καὶ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ γένηται, λέγει Κύριος. —

⁷

Thus the Lord shewed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand was an adamant.

⁷

Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τείχους ἀδαμαντίνου, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀδάμας.

⁸

And the Lord said to me, What seest thou, 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.

⁸

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· τί σὺ ὁρᾷς, ᾿Αμώς; καὶ εἶπα· ἀδάμαντα· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐντάσσω ἀδάμαντα ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ μου ᾿Ισραήλ, οὐκέτι μὴ προσθῶ τοῦ παρελθεῖν αὐτόν·

⁹

And 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.

⁹

καὶ ἀφανισθήσονται βωμοὶ τοῦ γέλωτος, καὶ αἱ τελεταί τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐρημωθήσονται, καὶ ἀναστήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ. —

¹⁰

Then Amasias the priest of Bæthel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.

¹⁰

Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ᾿Αμασίας ὁ ἱερεὺς Βαιθὴλ πρὸς ῾Ιεροβοὰμ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· συστροφὰς ποιεῖται κατὰ σοῦ ᾿Αμὼς ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου ᾿Ισραήλ· οὐ μὴ δύνηται ἡ γῆ ὑπενεγκεῖν πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ,

¹¹

For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.

¹¹

διότι τάδε λέγει ᾿Αμώς· ἐν ρομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει ῾Ιεροβοάμ, ὁ δὲ ᾿Ισραὴλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

¹²

And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove thou into the land of Juda, and live there, and thou shalt prophesy there:

¹²

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αμασίας πρὸς ᾿Αμώς· ὁ ὁρῶν, βάδιζε ἐκχώρησον σὺ εἰς γῆν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐκεῖ καταβίου καὶ ἐκεῖ προφητεύσεις,

¹³

but thou shalt no longer prophesy at Bæthel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.

¹³

εἰς δὲ Βαιθὴλ οὐκέτι προσθήσεις τοῦ προφητεῦσαι, ὅτι ἁγίασμα βασιλέως ἐστὶ καὶ οἶκος βασιλείας ἐστί.

¹⁴

And 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.

¹⁴

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Αμὼς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς ᾿Αμασίαν· οὐκ ἤμην προφήτης ἐγὼ οὐδὲ υἱὸς προφήτου, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αἰπόλος ἤμην καὶ κνίζων συκάμινα·

¹⁵

And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.

¹⁵

καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με Κύριος ἐκ τῶν προβάτων, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· βάδιζε προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν μου ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹⁶

And now hear the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.

¹⁶

καὶ νῦν ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου. σὺ λέγεις· μὴ προφήτευε ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀχλαγωγήσῃς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιακώβ·

¹⁷

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured with the line; and thou shalt die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God shewed me.

¹⁷

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἡ γυνή σου ἐν τῇ πόλει πορνεύσει, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου ἐν ρομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ ἡ γῆ σου ἐν σχοινίῳ καταμετρηθήσεται, καὶ σὺ ἐν γῇ ἀκαθάρτῳ τελευτήσεις, ὁ δὲ ᾿Ισραὴλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ γῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
