Amos 5
1 Listen to this word, which I lift over you in lamentation. The house of Israel has fallen, and it will no longer rise again.
Klausiet šo vārdu, ar ko es par jums sāku raudu dziesmu, Israēla nams!
2 The virgin of Israel has been thrown onto her land, there is no one who can raise her up.
Israēla meita ir kritusi, viņa vairs necelsies, viņa ir atstāta zemē, neviena nav, kas to uzceļ.
3 For thus says the Lord God: In the city from which a thousand departed, a hundred will remain, and in that from which a hundred departed, ten will remain, in the house of Israel.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai pilsētai, kur iziet tūkstoši, atliksies simts, un kur iziet simts, atliksies desmit Israēla namā.
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek me and you will live.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Israēla namu: meklējiet Mani un dzīvojiet!
5 But do not be willing to seek Bethel, and do not be willing to enter Gilgal, and you will not cross into Beer-sheba. For Gilgal will be led into captivity, and Bethel will be useless.
Bet nemeklējiet Bēteli un nenāciet uz Gilgalu un nenoejat uz Bēršebu, jo Gilgala taps aizvesta un Bētele paliks par neko.
6 Seek the Lord and live. Otherwise, the house of Joseph may be destroyed with fire, and it will devour, and there will be no one who can extinguish Bethel.
Meklējiet To Kungu un dzīvojiet, - lai Viņš neizšaujas Jāzepa namā kā uguns, kas to norij, un neviens to nevar dzēst Bētelē, -
7 You turn judgment into wormwood, and you abandon justice on earth.
Jūs, kas tiesu pārvēršat par vērmelēm un stumjat taisnību pie zemes:
8 The Maker of Arcturus and Orion, who turns darkness into daybreak and who changes day into night; who calls forth the waters of the sea and who pours them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
Kas radījis Sietiņu un Orijonu un nāves ēnu pārvērš par rīta gaismu un dienu aptumšo, ka nakts metās, kas jūras ūdeni sauc un to izgāž pa zemes virsu, - Kungs ir Viņa vārds,
9 It is he who smiles destruction on the healthy, and who brings pillaging upon the powerful.
Tam prāts ir, to spēcīgo postīt, ka posts nāk pār stipro pili.
10 They held hatred for the one who corrects at the gate, and they have abhorred the one who speaks perfectly.
Tie ienīst to, kas vārtos pārmāca, un kas patiesību runā, to tie tur par negantu.
11 Therefore, on his behalf, because you have torn apart the poor and stolen choice prey from him: you will build houses with square stones and you will not dwell in them; you will plant the most delightful vineyards, and you will not drink wine from them.
Tādēļ ka jūs apbēdinājāt nabagu un ņemat labības dāvanu no viņa, tad jūs gan esiet uztaisījuši namus no cirstiem akmeņiem, bet jūs tanīs nedzīvosiet, jūs esat stādījuši diženus vīna dārzus, bet viņu vīnu jūs nedzersiet.
12 For I know your many wicked deeds and the strength of your sins, you enemies of the just, accepting bribes, and depriving the poor at the gate.
Jo es zinu, ka jūsu pārkāpumu daudz un jūsu grēku varen daudz. Tie nospaida taisno un ņem dāvanas, un nomāc nabagus vārtos.
13 Therefore, the prudent will be silent at that time, for it is an evil time.
Tādēļ prātīgais šinīs laikos cieš klusu, jo tie ir nikni laiki.
14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. And the Lord God of hosts will be with you, just as you have asked.
Meklējiet labu un ne ļaunu, lai jūs dzīvojat, un tā Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, būs ar jums, kā jūs sakāt.
15 Hate evil and love good, and establish judgment at the gate. Perhaps then the Lord God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Ienīstiet ļaunu un mīļojiet labu un spriežat vārtos tiesu, vai varbūt Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, neapžēlosies par Jāzepa atlikušiem.
16 Therefore, thus says the Lord God of hosts, the Sovereign: In all the streets, there will be wailing. And in every place where they are outdoors, they will say, “Woe, woe!” And they will call the farmer to mourn, and those who know mourning to lamentation.
Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Tas Kungs: visās ielās vaimanas un visās gatvēs saka: vai, vai! Arāju sauc pie asarām, un pie vaimanām vaidētājus.
17 And in all the vineyards there will be wailing. For I will cross through your midst, says the Lord.
Un visos vīna dārzos būs vaimanas, jo Es iešu caur jūsu vidu, saka Tas Kungs.
18 Woe to those who desire the day of the Lord. What is it to you? The day of the Lord is this: darkness and not light.
Ak vai, tiem, kas ilgojās pēc Tā Kunga dienas! Par ko tad jums būs Tā Kunga diena? Tā būs tumsa un ne gaisma.
19 It is as if a man flees from the face of a lion, only to have a bear meet him; or, he enters a house and leans with his hand against the wall, only to have a snake bite him.
Tā kā kad vīrs bēgtu no lauvas un to sastaptu lācis! Un nāktu namā un atslietos ar roku pie sienas, un čūska viņam iedzeltu!
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?
Vai tad Tā Kunga diena nebūs tumsa un ne gaisma, un nakts, kam nav spožuma?
21 I hate and have rejected your feasts; and I will not accept the odor from your gatherings.
Es ienīstu un atmetu jūsu svētkus un negribu ost jūsu sapulces.
22 For if you offer me holocausts and your gifts, I will not receive them; and I will not look upon the vows of your fatness.
Jo kad jūs Man dedzināmos upurus upurējat līdz ar saviem ēdamiem upuriem, tad Man pie viņiem nav labs prāts, un pateicības upuri no jūsu barotiem lopiem Es negribu ieredzēt.
23 Take away from me the tumult of your songs, and I will not listen to the canticles of your lyre.
Atstājies jel no Manis ar savu dziesmu bļaušanu, un tavu kokļu skaņu Es negribu dzirdēt.
24 And judgment will be revealed like water, and justice like a mighty torrent.
Bet lai plūst tiesa kā ūdens un taisnība kā stipra upe.
25 Was it you who offered victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, house of Israel?
Vai četrdesmit gadus tuksnesī jūs Man esat nesuši upurus un ēdamus upurus, Israēla nams?
26 And you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch and the image of your idols: the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
Bet jūs nesāt sava(Sikuta) ķēniņa būdu un sava Ķijuna bildi, sava dieva zvaigzni, ko jūs sev pašiem bijāt taisījuši.
27 And I will cause you to go into captivity across Damascus, says the Lord. The God of hosts is his name.
Tādēļ Es jūs aizvedīšu tālu viņpus Damaskus, saka Tas Kungs, kam vārds ir Dievs Cebaot.
