< 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 word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their 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 Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.

You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
4 Ejat uz Bēteli un grēkojiet! (Ejat) uz Gilgalu un vairojiet pārkāpšanu! Un nesiet savus upurus rītos, savas desmitās(tiesas) ik trešo dienu,
“Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every 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.
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
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 given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
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 withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
8 Un divas, trīs pilsētas vilkās uz vienu pilsētu, ūdeni dzert, bet nedabūja nodzerties; taču jūs pie Manis neesat atgriezušies, saka Tas Kungs.
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
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 you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
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 plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
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 when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
12 Tādēļ Es tev tā darīšu, Israēl! Kad Es tev tā gribu darīt, nu tad sataisies, Israēl, savam Dievam pretim!
“Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, 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 who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”
