Amos 6
1 Alas for the careless in Zion, and for them who put confidence in the mountain of Samaria, —the distinguished among the first group of nations, to whom came in the house of Israel.
Ak vai, tiem, kas droši dzīvo Ciānā un bez bēdām uz Samarijas kalna, tiem vareniem pirmajā tautā, pie kuriem nāk tie no Israēla nama.
2 Pass ye over to Calneh, and see, and go on from thence to Hamath the great, —and go down to Gath of the Philistines, are they better than these kingdoms? or their boundary larger than your boundary?
Ejat uz Kalni un skatāties, un no turienes ejat uz Hamatu, to lielo pilsētu, tad noejat uz Gadu Fīlistos, vai tās ir labākas nekā šīs valstis, jeb vai viņu robežas lielākas nekā jūsu robežas.
3 Ye who are putting far away the day of calamity, —but bringing near the abode of violence:
Jūs, kam šķiet nelaimes dienu tālu esam un kas tuvu ceļat varasdarba krēslu,
4 Who are lying on beds of ivory, and sprawling on their couch of pleasure, —and eating the well-fed of the flock, and the fatted calves out of the midst of the stalls:
Kas guļat uz ziloņkaulu gultām un staipāties savās guļās un ēdat jērus no ganāmā pulka un barotos teļus no laidaru vidus,
5 Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, —like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:
Kas pūšat somastabules un izdomājat mūzikas rīkus kā Dāvids,
6 Who are quaffing bowls of wine, and, with the best of oils, anointing themselves, —and are not afflicted for the injury of Joseph: —
Kas vīnu dzerat no kausiem un svaidāties ar visdārgāko eļļu, bet nebēdājaties par Jāzepa vainu!
7 Therefore, at once, shall they go into exile among the first of the exiles, —so shall be disturbed the revelry of sprawlers.
Tādēļ tie nu ies cietumā paši pirmie starp cietumniekiem, un plītnieku kliegšana mitēsies.
8 Sworn hath the Lord, Yahweh, by his own life, Declareth Yahweh, God of hosts, abhorring am I, the grandeur of Jacob, and, his palaces, I hate, —therefore will I cast off the city and the fulness thereof.
Tas Kungs Dievs ir zvērējis pie savas dvēseles, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Man riebj Jēkaba lepnība un Es ienīstu viņa skaistos namus, tādēļ Es to pilsētu nodošu ar visu, kas tur iekšā.
9 And it shall come to pass, though there be left remaining ten men in one house, yet shall they die;
Un notiks, ja tur desmit vīri būs atlikuši vienā namā, tie mirs.
10 And a man’s near of kin, even he who is about to burn the bones, shall carry him out of the house, when he shall say to him that is in the hinder parts of the house—Are there yet any with thee? and he shall say—No one. Then shall he say—Hush! for we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
Un kad ko ņems viņa svainis vai viņa dedzinātājs, un iznesīs tos kaulus no nama un sacīs uz to, kas nama kambarī: vai tur vēl kāds pie tevis? Un tas sacīs: nav neviena. Tad viņš sacīs: ciet klusu! Jo Tā Kunga vārdu nebūs pieminēt.
11 For lo! Yahweh, is giving command, and will smite the great house into ruins, —and the little house with clefts.
Jo redzi, Tas Kungs dod pavēli, un sitīs to lielo namu, ka sagrūs, un to mazo namu, ka sadrups.
12 Shall horses run upon crag? or will a man plough [there] with oxen? For ye have turned to poison the sentence of justice, and the fruit of righteousness, to wormwood:
Vai zirgi var skriet pa klintīm? Vai tur virsū var art ar vēršiem? Jo jūs esat pārvērtuši tiesu par žulti un taisnības augļus par vērmelēm?
13 Who rejoice in a thing of nought, —who say, Have we not by our own strength, taken to ourselves horns?
Jūs, kas priecājaties par nieku un sakāt: Vai mēs caur savu stiprumu sev neesam varu dabūjuši?
14 For behold me! raising up against you, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, the God of hosts—a nation! And they shall crush you, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the torrent-bed of the waste plain.
Jo redzi, pret jums, jūs Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Es celšu vienu tautu, - un tā jūs nospaidīs no Hamatas ceļa līdz tuksneša upei.
