< 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.
Hear these words, O ye kine of Bashan, That are on the mountain of Samaria; That oppress the poor; that crush the needy; That say to your master, Bring, and let us drink!
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 Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness; Behold, the days shall come upon you When ye shall be taken away with hooks, And your residue with fishing-hooks.
3 Un jūs iziesiet caur mūru plaisām, ikviena taisni projām, un tapsiet nomestas pret Armonu, saka Tas Kungs.
And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one right forward, And ye shall be thrown into a castle, saith Jehovah.
4 Ejat uz Bēteli un grēkojiet! (Ejat) uz Gilgalu un vairojiet pārkāpšanu! Un nesiet savus upurus rītos, savas desmitās(tiesas) ik trešo dienu,
Go, now, to Bethel, and transgress; At Gilgal multiply transgression! Bring your sacrifices every morning, And your tithes every three years!
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 from your extortions, And proclaim the free-will offerings; publish them abroad! For this is your delight, ye sons of Israel, Saith the Lord, Jehovah.
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.
I also have caused cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And want of bread in all your places; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
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.
I also have withholden from you the rain three months before the harvest; I have caused it to rain upon one city, And upon another city have I not caused it to rain; One piece of ground hath been rained upon, And another, upon which I have not caused it to rain, hath withered.
8 Un divas, trīs pilsētas vilkās uz vienu pilsētu, ūdeni dzert, bet nedabūja nodzerties; taču jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
Two or three cities have gone to one city, To drink water, and have not been satisfied; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
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 have smitten you with blasting and mildew; The locust hath devoured your many gardens, Your vineyards, your fig-trees, and your olive-trees; Yet have ye not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
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 have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I have slain your young men with the sword, And your horses have I led into captivity; I have made the smell of your camps to come up into your nostrils; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
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.
I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah; And ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning; And yet ye have not returned to me, saith Jehovah.
12 Tādēļ Es tev tā darīšu, Israēl! Kad Es tev tā gribu darīt, nu tad sataisies, Israēl, savam Dievam pretim!
Therefore thus will I deal with thee, O Israel! Yet since I will thus deal with thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel!
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.
For behold, he formed the mountains, and created the wind; He declareth to man what is his thought; He maketh the morning darkness, And walketh upon the high places of the earth; Jehovah, God of hosts, is his name.
