Amos 7
1 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that he was preparing a swarm of locusts just when the spring crops began to grow. (Spring crops begin to grow right after the time when the king's hay is cut.)
Сице показа ми Господь Бог, и се, приплод пружий идый утренний, и се, гусеница, един Гог царь.
2 And so when the locusts finished eating every green plant in the fields, I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please forgive your people! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
И будет, аще скончает ядый траву земную, и рех: Господи, Господи, милостив буди, кто возставит Иакова? Яко мал есть.
3 So the Lord changed his mind. “It won't happen,” said the Lord.
Раскайся о сем, Господи: и сие не будет, глаголет Господь.
4 This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that the Lord God was calling for a judgment of fire. The fire burned up the depths of the sea and destroyed the farmland.
Сице показа ми Господь, и се, призва прю во огни Господь Бог, и пояде бездну многу, и пояде часть.
5 I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please stop! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
И рех: Господи, Господи, престани ныне, кто возставит Иакова? Яко мал есть.
6 So the Lord changed his mind. “This too won't happen,” said the Lord.
Раскайся о сем, Господи: и сие не будет, глаголет Господь.
7 This is what he showed me. I saw the Lord was standing beside a wall that had been built with a plumb line. He was holding a plumb line in his hand.
Сице показа ми Господь: и се, Муж стояй на ограде адамантове, и в руце Его адамант.
8 And the Lord asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” And the Lord God said, “I am placing a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I won't ignore their sins anymore.
И рече Господь ко мне: что ты видиши, Амосе? И рех: адамант. И рече Господь ко мне: се, Аз учиню адаманта среде людий Моих Израиля, ктому не приложу, еже мимоити его:
9 The high places of the descendents of Isaac will be torn down, and the holy places of Israel will be destroyed. Sword in hand, I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam.”
и потребятся требища смеха, и требы Израилевы опустеют, и востану на дом Иеровоамль со оружием.
10 Then Amaziah, priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. What he's saying is unbearable!
И посла Амасиа жрец Вефильский ко Иеровоаму царю Израилеву глаголя: развраты творит на тя Амос среде дому Израилева, не возможет земля подяти всех словес его,
11 For he's saying Jeroboam will be killed by the sword, and the people will be taken away from their land into exile.”
понеже сия глаголет Амос: оружием скончается Иеровоам, Израиль же пленен отведется от земли своея.
12 Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away prophet! Run away to the land of Judah. Go and prophesy there to earn your bread.
И рече Амасиа ко Амосови: видяй гряди и отиди ты на землю Иудину, и тамо живи, и тамо да прорицаеши:
13 But don't ever prophesy again at Bethel, for this is where the king worships, the national Temple.”
а в Вефили посем не приложи прорицати, яко освящение царя есть и дом есть царства.
14 But Amos replied, “I'm not a trained prophet, or the son of a prophet. I was just a shepherd, and also took care of fig trees.
И отвеща Амос и рече ко Амасии: не бех пророк аз, ниже сын пророчь, но пастырь бех и ягодичия обирая:
15 The Lord took me from following my flock, and the Lord told me, ‘Go, and give my message to my people of Israel.’”
и поя мя Господь от овец и рече ко мне: иди и прорцы на люди Моя Израиля.
16 So now hear what the Lord is telling you: You say, “Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the descendants of Isaac.”
И ныне слыши слово Господне: ты глаголеши: не прорицай на Израиля и не возмущай народа на дом Иаковль:
17 But this is what the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and daughters will be killed by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from the land and go into exile.
сего ради сия глаголет Господь: жена твоя во граде соблудит, сынове же твои и дщери оружием падут, и земля твоя ужем измерится, и ты на земли нечистей скончаешися, и Израиль пленен отведется от земли своея.
