| [1]שִׁמְעוּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל כָּל־הַמִּשְׁפָּחָה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלֵיתִי מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לֵאמֹר׃ |
[1]Hear this word that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, even against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, |
| [2]רַק אֶתְכֶם יָדַעְתִּי מִכֹּל מִשְׁפְּחֹות הָאֲדָמָה עַל־כֵּן אֶפְקֹד עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת כָּל־עֲוֹנֹתֵיכֶם׃ |
[2]You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit you for all your iniquities. |
| [3]הֲיֵלְכוּ שְׁנַיִם יַחְדָּו בִּלְתִּי אִם־נֹועָדוּ׃ |
[3]Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
| [4]הֲיִשְׁאַג אַרְיֵה בַּיַּעַר וְטֶרֶף אֵין לֹו הֲיִתֵּן כְּפִיר קֹולֹו מִמְּעֹנָתֹו בִּלְתִּי אִם־לָכָד׃ |
[4]Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Or will a lion's whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? |
| [5]הֲתִפֹּל צִפֹּור עַל־פַּח הָאָרֶץ וּמֹוקֵשׁ אֵין לָהּ הֲיַעֲלֶה־פַּח מִן־הָאֲדָמָה וְלָכֹוד לֹא יִלְכֹּוד׃ |
[5]Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no fowler is? Or will he take up the snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? |
| [6]אִם־יִתָּקַע שֹׁופָר בְּעִיר וְעָם לֹא יֶחֱרָדוּ אִם־תִּהְיֶה רָעָה בְּעִיר וַיהוָה לֹא עָשָׂה׃ |
[6]Or shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people be not afraid? Or shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? |
| [7]כִּי לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה דָּבָר כִּי אִם־גָּלָה סֹודֹו אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הַנְּבִיאִים׃ |
[7]Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. |
| [8]אַרְיֵה שָׁאָג מִי לֹא יִירָא אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה דִּבֶּר מִי לֹא יִנָּבֵא׃ |
[8]The lion hath roared: who will not be afraid? The Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophesy? |
| [9]הַשְׁמִיעוּ עַל־אַרְמְנֹות בְּאַשְׁדֹּוד וְעַל־אַרְמְנֹות בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וְאִמְרוּ הֵאָסְפוּ עַל־הָרֵי שֹׁמְרֹון וּרְאוּ מְהוּמֹת רַבֹּות בְּתֹוכָהּ וַעֲשׁוּקִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ׃ |
[9]Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria: so behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. |
| [10]וְלֹא־יָדְעוּ עֲשֹׂות־נְכֹחָה נְאֻם־יְהוָה הָאֹוצְרִים חָמָס וָשֹׁד בְּאַרְמְנֹותֵיהֶם׃ |
[10]For they know not to do right, saith the Lord: they store up violence, and robbery in their palaces. |
| [11]לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צַר וּסְבִיב הָאָרֶץ וְהֹורִד מִמֵּךְ עֻזֵּךְ וְנָבֹזּוּ אַרְמְנֹותָיִךְ׃ |
[11]Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An adversary shall come even round about the country, and shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. |
| [12]כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יַצִּיל הָרֹעֶה מִפִּי הָאֲרִי שְׁתֵּי כְרָעַיִם אֹו בְדַל־אֹזֶן כֵּן יִנָּצְלוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיֹּשְׁבִים בְּשֹׁמְרֹון בִּפְאַת מִטָּה וּבִדְמֶשֶׁק עָרֶשׂ׃ |
[12]Thus saith the Lord, As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couch. |
| [13]שִׁמְעוּ וְהָעִידוּ בְּבֵית יַעֲקֹב נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאֹות׃ |
[13]Hear, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the God of hosts. |
| [14]כִּי בְּיֹום פָּקְדִי פִשְׁעֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עָלָיו וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל־מִזְבְּחֹות בֵּית־אֵל וְנִגְדְּעוּ קַרְנֹות הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְנָפְלוּ לָאָרֶץ׃ |
[14]Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground. |
| [15]וְהִכֵּיתִי בֵית־הַחֹרֶף עַל־בֵּית הַקָּיִץ וְאָבְדוּ בָּתֵּי הַשֵּׁן וְסָפוּ בָּתִּים רַבִּים נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ |
[15]And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall be consumed, saith the Lord. |
