| א שִׁמְעוּ הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה, פָּרוֹת הַבָּשָׁן אֲשֶׁר בְּהַר שֹׁמְרוֹן, הָעֹשְׁקוֹת דַּלִּים, הָרֹצְצוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים; הָאֹמְרֹת לַאֲדֹנֵיהֶם, הָבִיאָה וְנִשְׁתֶּה. | 1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say unto their lords: 'Bring, that we may feast.' |
| ב נִשְׁבַּע אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּקָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים עֲלֵיכֶם; וְנִשָּׂא אֶתְכֶם בְּצִנּוֹת, וְאַחֲרִיתְכֶן בְּסִירוֹת דּוּגָה. | 2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by His holiness: Lo, surely the days shall come upon you, that ye shall be taken away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks. |
| ג וּפְרָצִים תֵּצֶאנָה, אִשָּׁה נֶגְדָּהּ; וְהִשְׁלַכְתֶּנָה הַהַרְמוֹנָה, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight before her; and ye shall be cast into Harmon, saith the LORD. |
| ד בֹּאוּ בֵית-אֵל וּפִשְׁעוּ, הַגִּלְגָּל הַרְבּוּ לִפְשֹׁעַ; וְהָבִיאוּ לַבֹּקֶר זִבְחֵיכֶם, לִשְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים מַעְשְׂרֹתֵיכֶם. | 4 Come to Beth-el, and transgress, to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after three days; |
| ה וְקַטֵּר מֵחָמֵץ תּוֹדָה, וְקִרְאוּ נְדָבוֹת הַשְׁמִיעוּ: כִּי כֵן אֲהַבְתֶּם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה. | 5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them; for so ye love to do, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. |
| ו וְגַם-אֲנִי נָתַתִּי לָכֶם נִקְיוֹן שִׁנַּיִם, בְּכָל-עָרֵיכֶם, וְחֹסֶר לֶחֶם, בְּכֹל מְקוֹמֹתֵיכֶם; וְלֹא-שַׁבְתֶּם עָדַי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD. |
| ז וְגַם אָנֹכִי מָנַעְתִּי מִכֶּם אֶת-הַגֶּשֶׁם, בְּעוֹד שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים לַקָּצִיר, וְהִמְטַרְתִּי עַל-עִיר אֶחָת, וְעַל-עִיר אַחַת לֹא אַמְטִיר; חֶלְקָה אַחַת תִּמָּטֵר, וְחֶלְקָה אֲשֶׁר-לֹא-תַמְטִיר עָלֶיהָ תִּיבָשׁ. | 7 And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city; one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. |
| ח וְנָעוּ שְׁתַּיִם שָׁלֹשׁ עָרִים אֶל-עִיר אַחַת, לִשְׁתּוֹת מַיִם--וְלֹא יִשְׂבָּעוּ; וְלֹא-שַׁבְתֶּם עָדַי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD. |
| ט הִכֵּיתִי אֶתְכֶם, בַּשִּׁדָּפוֹן וּבַיֵּרָקוֹן--הַרְבּוֹת גַּנּוֹתֵיכֶם וְכַרְמֵיכֶם וּתְאֵנֵיכֶם וְזֵיתֵיכֶם, יֹאכַל הַגָּזָם; וְלֹא-שַׁבְתֶּם עָדַי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. {ס} | 9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath the palmer-worm devoured; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD. {S} |
| י שִׁלַּחְתִּי בָכֶם דֶּבֶר, בְּדֶרֶךְ מִצְרַיִם--הָרַגְתִּי בַחֶרֶב בַּחוּרֵיכֶם, עִם שְׁבִי סוּסֵיכֶם; וָאַעֲלֶה בְּאֹשׁ מַחֲנֵיכֶם, וּבְאַפְּכֶם, וְלֹא-שַׁבְתֶּם עָדַי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 10 I have sent among you the pestilence in the way of Egypt; your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD. |
| יא הָפַכְתִּי בָכֶם, כְּמַהְפֵּכַת אֱלֹהִים אֶת-סְדֹם וְאֶת-עֲמֹרָה, וַתִּהְיוּ, כְּאוּד מֻצָּל מִשְּׂרֵפָה; וְלֹא-שַׁבְתֶּם עָדַי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. | 11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the LORD. |
| יב לָכֵן, כֹּה אֶעֱשֶׂה-לְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל: עֵקֶב כִּי-זֹאת אֶעֱשֶׂה-לָּךְ, הִכּוֹן לִקְרַאת-אֱלֹהֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל. | 12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. |
| יג כִּי הִנֵּה יוֹצֵר הָרִים וּבֹרֵא רוּחַ, וּמַגִּיד לְאָדָם מַה-שֵּׂחוֹ, עֹשֵׂה שַׁחַר עֵיפָה, וְדֹרֵךְ עַל-בָּמֳתֵי אָרֶץ--יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי-צְבָאוֹת, שְׁמוֹ. {פ} | 13 For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; the LORD, the God of hosts, is His name. {P} |
