Amosa 4
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, Basanas govis, kas Samarijas kalnā, kas nospaida mazos, satriec nabagus, kas uz saviem kungiem saka: nesiet šurp, ka dzeram.
Listen to this message, you well-fed cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, and who order your husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Tas Kungs Dievs ir zvērējis pie Sava svētuma: redzi, dienas nāks pār jums, ka jūs aizvilks ar kāšiem un jūsu beidzamos ar zivju makšķerēm,
The Lord God has sworn by his holiness: Watch out! For the time is coming when they will drag you away with hooks, each one of you will be like a fish on a hook.
3 Un jūs iziesiet caur mūru plaisām, ikviena taisni projām, un tapsiet nomestas pret Armonu, saka Tas Kungs.
You will leave through breaches in the city walls, thrown out in the direction of Mount Hermon.
4 Ejat uz Bēteli un grēkojiet! (Ejat) uz Gilgalu un vairojiet pārkāpšanu! Un nesiet savus upurus rītos, savas desmitās(tiesas) ik trešo dienu,
Why don't you go to Bethel and sin? Go to Gilgal and add to your sins even more? Offer your sacrifices in the morning, bring your tithes after three days.
5 Un kvēpinājiet pateicības upurus no raudzēta, un izsauciet labprātības upurus, liekat to dzirdēt! Jo tā tas jums patīk, Israēla bērni, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast, and announce what you're giving as freewill offerings so everyone will know. This is what you love to do! declares the Lord God.
6 Tāpēc es arīdzan jūsu zobiem esmu devis mieru visās jūsu pilsētās un maizes trūkumu visās jūsu vietās; tomēr jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
It was I who made sure you had nothing to eat in all your cities, and a lack of food wherever you lived, but still you wouldn't return to me, says the Lord.
7 Un arī lietu Es jums esmu aizturējis, kad vēl trīs mēneši bija līdz pļaujamam laikam, un esmu licis līt pār vienu pilsētu, bet pār otru ne, viens zemes gabals aplija, bet otrs gabals sakalta, kur lietus nelija.
It was I who kept the rain from falling when there was still three months before harvest. One city would have rain, while another would not. One field would have rain, another would dry up from lack of rain.
8 Un divas, trīs pilsētas vilkās uz vienu pilsētu, ūdeni dzert, bet nedabūja nodzerties; taču jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
People wandered from town to town looking for water, yet were still thirsty. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
9 Es jūs esmu sitis ar bulu un ar rūsu, un siseņi ēda visu, kas aug jūsu dārzos un jūsu vīna dārzos un uz jūsu vīģes kokiem un eļļas kokiem, taču jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
I struck your many farms and vineyards with blight and mildew; locusts devoured your fig trees and olive trees. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
10 Es esmu sūtījis mēri jūsu vidū, kā Ēģiptes zemē, Es nokāvu jūsu jaunekļus caur zobenu un liku jūsu zirgus aizvest, un jūsu karaspēka smaržai Es liku uzkāpt jūsu nāsīs; taču jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
I sent a plague on you like I did in Egypt. I killed your young men in battle; I took away your horses; I made you smell the stench of dead bodies in your camps. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
11 Es esmu sūtījis postu jūsu vidū, kā Dievs postījis Sodomu un Gomoru un jūs bijāt kā pagale izrauta no uguns, taču jūs neesat atgriezušies pie Manis, saka Tas Kungs.
Some of you I destroyed as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick pulled out of a fire. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
12 Tādēļ Es tev tā darīšu, Israēl! Kad Es tev tā gribu darīt, nu tad sataisies, Israēl, savam Dievam pretim!
Therefore, this is what I am going to do to you, Israel. Because I am going to do this, Israel, prepare to meet your God!
13 Jo redzi, kas taisa kalnus, rada vēju un cilvēkam dara zināmu, kas viņa domās, kas par rīta gaismu dara tumsu un staigā pār zemes augstumiem, Kungs Dievs Cebaot ir Viņa vārds.
Watch! The One who made the mountains, who created the winds, who reveals his thoughts to humankind, who turns the sunlight into darkness, who walks on the high places of the earth—the Lord God of power is his name!
