King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
1Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπιγονὴ ἀκρίδων ἐρχομένη ἑωθινὴ, καὶ ἰδοὺ βροῦχος εἷς, Γὼγ ὁ βασιλεύς.
2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD , forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
2Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν συντελέσῃ τοῦ καταφαγεῖν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπα, Κύριε Κύριε, ἵλεως γενοῦ· τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ἰακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι.
3The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD .
3Μετανόησον Κύριε ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει Κύριος.
4¶ Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
4Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλεσε τὴν δίκην ἐν πυρὶ Κύριος, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν ἄβυσσον τὴν πολλὴν, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν μερίδα Κυρίου.
5Then said I, O Lord GOD , cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
5Καὶ εἶπα, Κύριε κόπασον δὴ, τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ἰακώβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστι.
6The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD .
6Μετανόησον Κύριε ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ γένηται, λέγει Κύριος.
7¶ Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
7Οὕτως ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τείχους ἀδαμαντίνου, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀδάμας.
8And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
8Καὶ 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 high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
9Καὶ ἀφανισθήσονται βωμοὶ τοῦ γέλωτος, καὶ αἱ τελεταὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐρημωθήσονται, καὶ ἀναστήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
10¶ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
10Καὶ 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 Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
11Διότι τάδε λέγει Ἀμὼς, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει Ἱεροβοὰμ, ὁ δὲ Ἰσραὴλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
12Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
12Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμασίας πρὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ ὁρῶν βάδιζε, ἐκχῶρησον σὺ εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐκεῖ καταβίου, καὶ ἐκεῖ προφητεύσεις,
13But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
13εἰς δὲ Βαιθὴλ οὐκ ἔτι προσθήσεις τοῦ προφητεῦσαι, ὅτι ἁγίασμα βασιλέως ἐστὶ, καὶ οἶκος βασιλείας ἐστί.
14¶ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
14Καὶ 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 as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
15καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με Κύριος ἐκ τῶν προβάτων, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, βάδιζε, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ.
16¶ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD : Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
16Καὶ νῦν ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου· σὺ λέγεις, μὴ προφήτευε ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀχλαγωγήσῃς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακώβ.
17Therefore thus saith the LORD ; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
17Διὰ 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.
