Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Klausiet šo vārdu, ko Tas Kungs runā uz jums, Israēla bērni, proti uz visām tām ciltīm, ko Es no Ēģiptes zemes esmu izvedis, sacīdams:
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Es jūs vien esmu atzinis no visām zemes tautām, tādēļ Es pie jums piemeklēšu visus jūsu noziegumus.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Vai divi gan kopā staigā, ja tie papriekš nav saderējušies?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Vai lauva mežā rūc, kad viņam laupījuma nav? Vai jauns lauva balsi paceļ no savas alas, kad neko nav gūstījis?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no animal trap is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Vai putns iekrīt valgā pie zemes, kur valga priekš viņa nav? Vai valgs no zemes ceļas, ar ko nekas nav gūstīts?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it?
Vai pilsētā bazūnē ar bazūni, un ļaudis neiztrūkstās? Vai kāda nelaime notiek pilsētā, ko Tas Kungs nedara?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Tiešām, Tas Kungs Dievs nekā nedara, kad viņš savu noslēpumu neparāda saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?
Kad lauva rūc, kas nebītos? Tas Kungs Dievs runā, kam nebūtu jāsludina?
9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
Liekat to dzirdēt Ašdodas skaistos namos un Ēģiptes zemes pilīs un sakāt: sapulcinājaties uz Samarijas kalniem un redziet tos lielos trokšņus viņas vidū, un tos nospaidītos viņas starpā.
10 For they know not to do right, says the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Jo tie nezin darīt, kas tiesa(taisnība), saka Tas Kungs, krādami netaisnību un varas darbu savās pilīs.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
Tāpēc Tas Kungs Dievs tā saka: spaidi zemei visapkārt! Un viņš nogāzīs tavu stiprumu, un tavi skaistie nami taps izpostīti.
12 Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: kā gans izrauj no lauvas rīkles divus stilbus vai kādu auss gabaliņu, tā Israēla bērni tiks izglābti, kas Samarijā sēž gultas kaktā uz Damaskus pēļa.
13 Hear all of you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
Klausiet un dodiet liecību Jēkaba namam, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tas Dievs Cebaot:
14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Tai dienā, kad Es Israēla pārkāpumus pie viņa piemeklēšu, tad Es piemeklēšu Bēteles altārus, un tie altāra ragi taps nocirsti un kritīs zemē.
15 And I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, says the LORD.
Un Es sitīšu tiklab ziemas pili kā vasaras pili, un tie ziloņkaulu nami ies bojā, un daudz nami taps izpostīti, saka Tas Kungs.
