Amosa 3
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, ko Tas Kungs runā uz jums, Israēla bērni, proti uz visām tām ciltīm, ko Es no Ēģiptes zemes esmu izvedis, sacīdams:
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 Es jūs vien esmu atzinis no visām zemes tautām, tādēļ Es pie jums piemeklēšu visus jūsu noziegumus.
“Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 Vai divi gan kopā staigā, ja tie papriekš nav saderējušies?
Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
4 Vai lauva mežā rūc, kad viņam laupījuma nav? Vai jauns lauva balsi paceļ no savas alas, kad neko nav gūstījis?
Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
5 Vai putns iekrīt valgā pie zemes, kur valga priekš viņa nav? Vai valgs no zemes ceļas, ar ko nekas nav gūstīts?
Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
6 Vai pilsētā bazūnē ar bazūni, un ļaudis neiztrūkstās? Vai kāda nelaime notiek pilsētā, ko Tas Kungs nedara?
If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
7 Tiešām, Tas Kungs Dievs nekā nedara, kad viņš savu noslēpumu neparāda saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem.
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
8 Kad lauva rūc, kas nebītos? Tas Kungs Dievs runā, kam nebūtu jāsludina?
The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
9 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.
Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
10 Jo tie nezin darīt, kas tiesa(taisnība), saka Tas Kungs, krādami netaisnību un varas darbu savās pilīs.
“For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
11 Tāpēc Tas Kungs Dievs tā saka: spaidi zemei visapkārt! Un viņš nogāzīs tavu stiprumu, un tavi skaistie nami taps izpostīti.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
12 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.
This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
13 Klausiet un dodiet liecību Jēkaba namam, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tas Dievs Cebaot:
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
14 Tai dienā, kad Es Israēla pārkāpumus pie viņa piemeklēšu, tad Es piemeklēšu Bēteles altārus, un tie altāra ragi taps nocirsti un kritīs zemē.
On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
15 Un Es sitīšu tiklab ziemas pili kā vasaras pili, un tie ziloņkaulu nami ies bojā, un daudz nami taps izpostīti, saka Tas Kungs.
I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
