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.
Такое видение открыл мне Господь Бог: вот, Он создал саранчу в начале произрастания поздней травы, и это была трава после царского покоса.
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 было, когда она окончила есть траву на земле, я сказал: Господи Боже! пощади; как устоит Иаков? он очень мал.
3 So Yahweh changed his mind and said, “That will not happen.”
И пожалел Господь о том; “не будет сего” - сказал Господь.
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.
Такое видение открыл мне Господь Бог: вот, Господь Бог произвел для суда огонь, - и он пожрал великую пучину, пожрал и часть земли.
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]?”
И сказал я: Господи Боже! останови; как устоит Иаков? он очень мал.
6 So Yahweh changed his mind again, and said, “That also will not happen.”
И пожалел Господь о том; “и этого не будет” - сказал Господь Бог.
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.
Такое видение открыл Он мне: вот, Господь стоял на отвесной стене, и в руке у Него свинцовый отвес.
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 сказал мне Господь: что ты видишь, Амос? Я ответил: отвес. И Господь сказал: вот, положу отвес среди народа Моего, Израиля; не буду более прощать ему.
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.”
И опустошены будут жертвенные высоты Исааковы, и разрушены будут святилища Израилевы, и восстану с мечом против дома Иеровоамова.
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.
И послал Амасия, священник Вефильский, к Иеровоаму, царю Израильскому, сказать: Амос производит возмущение против тебя среди дома Израилева; земля не может терпеть всех слов его.
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).’”
Ибо так говорит Амос: “от меча умрет Иеровоам, а Израиль непременно отведен будет пленным из земли своей”.
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!
И сказал Амасия Амосу: провидец! пойди и удались в землю Иудину; там ешь хлеб и там пророчествуй,
13 Do not prophesy any more here at Bethel, because this is where the national temple, the king’s temple, is!”
а в Вефиле больше не пророчествуй, ибо он святыня царя и дом царский.
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.
И отвечал Амос и сказал Амасии: я не пророк и не сын пророка; я был пастух и собирал сикоморы.
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!’
Но Господь взял меня от овец, и сказал мне Господь: “иди, пророчествуй к народу Моему, Израилю”.
16 You said to me, ‘Do not prophecy saying terrible things will happen to [the people of] Israel; stop saying those things!’
Теперь выслушай слово Господне. Ты говоришь: “не пророчествуй на Израиля и не произноси слов на дом Исааков”.
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 это вот что говорит Господь: жена твоя будет обесчещена в городе, сыновья и дочери твои падут от меча, земля твоя будет разделена межевою вервью, а ты умрешь в земле нечистой, и Израиль непременно выведен будет из земли своей.
