6ΑΜΩΣ Brenton(Lxx) AMOS Revised Standard Version AMOS PROPHETA 6

1 Οὐαὶ τοῖς ἐξουθενοῦσιν Σιων καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σαμαρείας· ἀπετρύγησαν ἀρχὰς ἐθνῶν, καὶ εἰσῆλθον αὐτοί. οἶκος τοῦ Ισραηλ, Woe to them that set at nought Sion and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered [the harvest of] the heads of the nations and they have gone in themselves. The destruction of Israel. Am.6.1-14 "Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Sama'ria,
the notable men of the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel come!
הֹוי הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים בְּצִיֹּון וְהַבֹּטְחִים בְּהַר שֹׁמְרֹון
נְקֻבֵי רֵאשִׁית הַגֹּויִם וּבָאוּ לָהֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
1
2 διάβητε πάντες καὶ ἴδετε καὶ διέλθατε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Εμαθ Ραββα καὶ κατάβητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Γεθ ἀλλοφύλων, τὰς κρατίστας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τούτων, εἰ πλέονα τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἐστιν τῶν ὑμετέρων ὁρίων. O house of Israel pass by all [of you] and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines the chief of all these kingdoms [see] if their coasts are greater than your coasts.   Pass over to Calneh, and see;
and thence go to Hamath the great;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are they better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory,
עִבְרוּ כַלְנֵה וּרְאוּ וּלְכוּ מִשָּׁם חֲמַת רַבָּה וּרְדוּ גַת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים
הֲטֹובִים מִן־הַמַּמְלָכֹות הָאֵלֶּה אִם־רַב גְּבוּלָם מִגְּבֻלְכֶם׃
2
3 οἱ ἐρχόμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κακήν, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες καὶ ἐφαπτόμενοι σαββάτων ψευδῶν, Ye who are approaching the evil day who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;   O you who put far away the evil day,
and bring near the seat of violence?
הַמְנַדִּים לְיֹום רָע וַתַּגִּישׁוּן שֶׁבֶת חָמָס׃ 3
4 οἱ καθεύδοντες ἐπὶ κλινῶν ἐλεφαντίνων καὶ κατασπαταλῶντες ἐπὶ ταῖς στρωμναῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔσθοντες ἐρίφους ἐκ ποιμνίων καὶ μοσχάρια ἐκ μέσου βουκολίων γαλαθηνά, who sleep upon beds of ivory and live delicately on their couches and eat kids out of the flocks and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;   "Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory,
and stretch themselves upon their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock,
and calves from the midst of the stall;
הַשֹּׁכְבִים עַל־מִטֹּות שֵׁן וּסְרֻחִים עַל־עַרְשֹׂותָם
וְאֹכְלִים כָּרִים מִצֹּאן וַעֲגָלִים מִתֹּוךְ מַרְבֵּק׃
4
5 οἱ ἐπικροτοῦντες πρὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῶν ὀργάνων ὡς ἑστῶτα ἐλογίσαντο καὶ οὐχ ὡς φεύγοντα· who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as abiding not as fleeting [pleasures];   who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp,
and like David invent for themselves instruments of music;
הַפֹּרְטִים עַל־פִּי הַנָּבֶל כְּדָוִיד חָשְׁבוּ לָהֶם כְּלֵי־שִׁיר׃ 5
6 οἱ πίνοντες τὸν διυλισμένον οἶνον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα μύρα χριόμενοι καὶ οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῇ συντριβῇ Ιωσηφ. who drink strained wine and anoint themselves with the best ointment; and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.   who drink wine in bowls,
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
הַשֹּׁתִים בְּמִזְרְקֵי יַיִן וְרֵאשִׁית שְׁמָנִים יִמְשָׁחוּ
וְלֹא נֶחְלוּ עַל־שֵׁבֶר יֹוסֵף׃
6
7 διὰ τοῦτο νῦν αἰχμάλωτοι ἔσονται ἀπ' ἀρχῆς δυναστῶν, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται χρεμετισμὸς ἵππων ἐξ Εφραιμ. Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.   Therefore they shall now be the first of those to go into exile,
and the revelry of those who stretch themselves shall pass away."
לָכֵן עַתָּה יִגְלוּ בְּרֹאשׁ גֹּלִים וְסָר מִרְזַח סְרוּחִים׃ ף 7
8 ὅτι ὤμοσεν κύριος καθ' ἑαυτοῦ Διότι βδελύσσομαι ἐγὼ πᾶσαν τὴν ὕβριν Ιακωβ καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτοῦ μεμίσηκα, καὶ ἐξαρῶ πόλιν σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν· For the Lord has sworn by himself [saying] Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob I do also hate his countries and I will cut off [his] city with all who inhabit it.   The Lord GOD has sworn by himself
(says the LORD, the God of hosts):
"I abhor the pride of Jacob,
and hate his strongholds;
and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."
נִשְׁבַּע אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּנַפְשֹׁו נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות מְתָאֵב אָנֹכִי אֶת־גְּאֹון יַעֲקֹב
וְאַרְמְנֹתָיו שָׂנֵאתִי וְהִסְגַּרְתִּי עִיר וּמְלֹאָהּ׃
8
9 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ὑπολειφθῶσιν δέκα ἄνδρες ἐν οἰκίᾳ μιᾷ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται, καὶ ὑπολειφθήσονται οἱ κατάλοιποι, And it shall come to pass if there be ten men left in one house that they shall die.   And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.וְהָיָה אִם־יִוָּתְרוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים בְּבַיִת אֶחָד וָמֵתוּ׃ 9
10 καὶ λήμψονται οἱ οἰκεῖοι αὐτῶν καὶ παραβιῶνται τοῦ ἐξενέγκαι τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἐρεῖ τοῖς προεστηκόσι τῆς οἰκίας Εἰ ἔτι ὑπάρχει παρὰ σοί; καὶ ἐρεῖ Οὐκέτι· καὶ ἐρεῖ Σίγα, ἕνεκα τοῦ μὴ ὀνομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου. But a remnant shall be left behind and their relations shall take them and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house Is there yet [any one] else with thee? And he shall say No [one] e   And when a man's kinsman, he who burns him, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, "Is there still any one with you?" he shall say, "No"; and he shall say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD."וּנְשָׂאֹו דֹּודֹו וּמְסָרְפֹו לְהֹוצִיא עֲצָמִים מִן־הַבַּיִת
וְאָמַר לַאֲשֶׁר בְּיַרְכְּתֵי הַבַּיִת הַעֹוד עִמָּךְ וְאָמַר אָפֶס
וְאָמַר הָס כִּי לֹא לְהַזְכִּיר בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה׃
10
11 διότι ἰδοὺ κύριος ἐντέλλεται καὶ πατάξει τὸν οἶκον τὸν μέγαν θλάσμασιν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν μικρὸν ῥάγμασιν. For behold the Lord commands and he will smite the great house with breaches and the little house with rents.   For behold, the LORD commands,
and the great house shall be smitten into fragments,
and the little house into bits.
כִּי־הִנֵּה יְהוָה מְצַוֶּה
וְהִכָּה הַבַּיִת הַגָּדֹול רְסִיסִים וְהַבַּיִת הַקָּטֹן בְּקִעִים׃
11
12 εἰ διώξονται ἐν πέτραις ἵπποι; εἰ παρασιωπήσονται ἐν θηλείαις; ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐξεστρέψατε εἰς θυμὸν κρίμα καὶ καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης εἰς πικρίαν, Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for ye have turned judgment into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:   Do horses run upon rocks?
Does one plow the sea with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood -
הַיְרֻצוּן בַּסֶּלַע סוּסִים אִם־יַחֲרֹושׁ בַּבְּקָרִים
כִּי־הֲפַכְתֶּם לְרֹאשׁ מִשְׁפָּט וּפְרִי צְדָקָה לְלַעֲנָה׃
12
13 οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπ' οὐδενὶ λόγῳ, οἱ λέγοντες Οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι ἡμῶν ἔσχομεν κέρατα; ye who rejoice at vanity who say Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?   you who rejoice in Lo-debar,
who say, "Have we not by our own strength
taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
הַשְּׂמֵחִים לְלֹא דָבָר
הָאֹמְרִים הֲלֹוא בְחָזְקֵנוּ לָקַחְנוּ לָנוּ קַרְנָיִם׃
13
14 διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπεγείρω ἐφ' ὑμᾶς, οἶκος τοῦ Ισραηλ, ἔθνος, καὶ ἐκθλίψουσιν ὑμᾶς τοῦ μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς Εμαθ καὶ ἕως τοῦ χειμάρρου τῶν δυσμῶν. For behold O house of Israel I will raise up against you a nation saith the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that ye shall not enter into Aemath and as it were [from] the river of the wilderness.   "For behold, I will raise up against you a nation,
O house of Israel," says the LORD, the God of hosts;
"and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath
to the Brook of the Arabah."
כִּי הִנְנִי מֵקִים עֲלֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאֹות גֹּוי
וְלָחֲצוּ אֶתְכֶם מִלְּבֹוא חֲמָת עַד־נַחַל הָעֲרָבָה׃ ס

Notes: Format: For the canonical books the parallel passages on this page are seven columns width, reducing to four columns for the Apocrypha - Deuterocanonical books.
Printing: For the most readable option, set your printer to a Landscape setting before printing the page.
The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT,
but use this as the English Text for the remainder of the LXX (Apocrypha - Deuterocanonical books).
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
