Amos 7
1 Yahweh our God showed me [in a vision] that he was going to send locusts [to destroy our crops]. It was going to happen right after the king’s share of the hay had been harvested/cut and before the rest of the hay was ready to be harvested.
Това е, което Госпо Иеова ми показа: - Ето, той образува скакалци, когато отавата почна да никне; и, ето, беше отавата подир царевата коситба.
2 [And in the vision I saw] those locusts come, and they ate everything that was green. Then I cried out, “Yahweh our Lord, please forgive us! We Israeli people are very helpless; (how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?/we will not be able to survive!)”
И когато скакалците изядоха тревата на земята, тогава рекох: - Господи Иеова, бъди милостив, моля ти се! Как да се издигне Яков? защото е малък.
3 So Yahweh changed his mind and said, “That will not happen.”
Господ се разкая за това: Няма да бъде, казва Господ.
4 Then this is what Yahweh our Lord showed me [in another vision]: He was calling to a fire to [come and] punish [his people]. [In the vision I saw that] the fire dried up the ocean and also burned [everything on] the land.
Това е, което Господ Иеова ми показа: - Ето Господ Иеова вика на съд чрез огън; и огънят изпояде голямата бездна, и щеше да изпояде и Израилевият дял.
5 Then I cried out again, “Yahweh our Lord, I plead with you, please stop this! We Israeli people are very helpless; how will we be able to survive [RHQ]?”
Тогава рекох: - Господи Иеова, престани, моля ти се! Как да се издигне Яков? защото е малък.
6 So Yahweh changed his mind again, and said, “That also will not happen.”
Господ се разкая за това: И това няма да бъде, казва Господ Иеова.
7 Then Yahweh showed me [another vision]. I saw him standing beside a wall. [It was very straight because] it had been built using a (plumb line/cord with a weight on one end to determine if walls are vertically straight). Yahweh had the plumb line in his hand.
Това е, което ми показа: - Ето, Господ стоеше при стена съградена с отвес, като държеше отвес в ръката си.
8 Yahweh asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” Then Yahweh said, “Look, I am going to use a plumb line among my Israeli people, [to show that they are like a wall that is not straight]. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
И Господ ми рече: Що виждаш, Амосе? И рекох - Отвес. Тогава рече Господ: Ето, аз ще туря отвес всред людете си Израиля; Занапред няма вече да ги щадя.
9 The places on hills where [the descendants of] [MTY] Isaac worship [idols] will be destroyed. And the other important shrines in Israel will also be destroyed. And I will enable [your enemies] to attack your people with swords and they will get rid of [King] Jeroboam and all his descendants.”
Високите Исаакови места ще запустеят, И Израилевите светилища ще се съсипят; И аз ще стана с меч против Израилевия дом.
10 Then Amaziah, the priest at Bethel, sent [a message] to Jeroboam, the King of Israel. In the message he said, “Amos is plotting against you among the Israeli people [MTY]. [I am worried that] the people of this country will not be able to refute his words.
Тогава свещеникът на Ветил Амасия прати до Израилевия цар Иеровоама да кажат: Амос направи заговор против тебе всред Израилевия дом; земята не може да търпи многото му думи.
11 This is what he is saying: ‘Jeroboam will soon be killed by [someone using] a sword, and the people of Israel will be (exiled/forced to leave their land and go to another country).’”
Защото Амос така казва: Иеровоам ще умре от меч, А Израил непременно ще бъде закаран пленник от земята си.
12 Then Amaziah [came to me and] said, “You prophet, get out of here! Go back to the country of Judah! Earn money to [buy food to be able] to live there, and do your prophesying there!
При това, Амасия, рече на Амоса: О, ти гледачо, иди, бягай в Юдовата земя, там яж хляб, и там пророкувай;
13 Do not prophesy any more here at Bethel, because this is where the national temple, the king’s temple, is!”
а във Ветил вече да не пророкуваш пак, защото е царево светилище, и е царски дворец.
14 I replied to Amaziah, “I was [previously] not a prophet, and my father was not a prophet; I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.
Тогава Амос рече в отговор на Амасия: Не бях аз пророк, нито син на пророк, но бях говедар, и берях черници;
15 But Yahweh took me away from taking care of my sheep, and he said to me, ‘Go to Israel and prophesy to my people there!’
а Господ ме взе отподир стадото, и Господ ми рече: Иди пророкувай на людете ми Израиля,
16 You said to me, ‘Do not prophecy saying terrible things will happen to [the people of] Israel; stop saying those things!’
Сега прочее слушай Господнето слово: Ти казваш - Не пророкувай против Израиля, и да не капне от тебе дума против Исааковия дом.
17 Therefore listen to what Yahweh says about you: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in this city, and your sons and daughters will be killed by [your enemies’] swords. Others will measure your land and divide it up [among themselves]; and you yourself will die in a foreign country. And the people of Israel will certainly be forced to leave their country and go (into exile/to live in another country).’”
За това, така казва Господ: - Жена ти ще бъде блудница в града, Синовете ти и дъщерите ти ще паднат от меч, И земята ти ще се раздели с въже; А сам ти ще умреш в нечиста земя, И Израил непременно ще бъде закаран пленник от земята си.
