Amosa 5
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, ar ko es par jums sāku raudu dziesmu, Israēla nams!
Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel.
2 Israēla meita ir kritusi, viņa vairs necelsies, viņa ir atstāta zemē, neviena nav, kas to uzceļ.
The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again.
3 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai pilsētai, kur iziet tūkstoši, atliksies simts, un kur iziet simts, atliksies desmit Israēla namā.
For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Israēla namu: meklējiet Mani un dzīvojiet!
For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
5 Bet nemeklējiet Bēteli un nenāciet uz Gilgalu un nenoejat uz Bēršebu, jo Gilgala taps aizvesta un Bētele paliks par neko.
Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
6 Meklējiet To Kungu un dzīvojiet, - lai Viņš neizšaujas Jāzepa namā kā uguns, kas to norij, un neviens to nevar dzēst Bētelē, -
Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
7 Jūs, kas tiesu pārvēršat par vērmelēm un stumjat taisnību pie zemes:
You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;
8 Kas radījis Sietiņu un Orijonu un nāves ēnu pārvērš par rīta gaismu un dienu aptumšo, ka nakts metās, kas jūras ūdeni sauc un to izgāž pa zemes virsu, - Kungs ir Viņa vārds,
Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
9 Tam prāts ir, to spēcīgo postīt, ka posts nāk pār stipro pili.
Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.
10 Tie ienīst to, kas vārtos pārmāca, un kas patiesību runā, to tie tur par negantu.
They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.
11 Tādēļ ka jūs apbēdinājāt nabagu un ņemat labības dāvanu no viņa, tad jūs gan esiet uztaisījuši namus no cirstiem akmeņiem, bet jūs tanīs nedzīvosiet, jūs esat stādījuši diženus vīna dārzus, bet viņu vīnu jūs nedzersiet.
So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
12 Jo es zinu, ka jūsu pārkāpumu daudz un jūsu grēku varen daudz. Tie nospaida taisno un ņem dāvanas, un nomāc nabagus vārtos.
For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place.
13 Tādēļ prātīgais šinīs laikos cieš klusu, jo tie ir nikni laiki.
So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Meklējiet labu un ne ļaunu, lai jūs dzīvojat, un tā Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, būs ar jums, kā jūs sakāt.
Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
15 Ienīstiet ļaunu un mīļojiet labu un spriežat vārtos tiesu, vai varbūt Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, neapžēlosies par Jāzepa atlikušiem.
Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
16 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Tas Kungs: visās ielās vaimanas un visās gatvēs saka: vai, vai! Arāju sauc pie asarām, un pie vaimanām vaidētājus.
So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
17 Un visos vīna dārzos būs vaimanas, jo Es iešu caur jūsu vidu, saka Tas Kungs.
In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.
18 Ak vai, tiem, kas ilgojās pēc Tā Kunga dienas! Par ko tad jums būs Tā Kunga diena? Tā būs tumsa un ne gaisma.
Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
19 Tā kā kad vīrs bēgtu no lauvas un to sastaptu lācis! Un nāktu namā un atslietos ar roku pie sienas, un čūska viņam iedzeltu!
As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
20 Vai tad Tā Kunga diena nebūs tumsa un ne gaisma, un nakts, kam nav spožuma?
Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
21 Es ienīstu un atmetu jūsu svētkus un negribu ost jūsu sapulces.
Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
22 Jo kad jūs Man dedzināmos upurus upurējat līdz ar saviem ēdamiem upuriem, tad Man pie viņiem nav labs prāts, un pateicības upuri no jūsu barotiem lopiem Es negribu ieredzēt.
Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Atstājies jel no Manis ar savu dziesmu bļaušanu, un tavu kokļu skaņu Es negribu dzirdēt.
Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
24 Bet lai plūst tiesa kā ūdens un taisnība kā stipra upe.
But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 Vai četrdesmit gadus tuksnesī jūs Man esat nesuši upurus un ēdamus upurus, Israēla nams?
Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
26 Bet jūs nesāt sava(Sikuta) ķēniņa būdu un sava Ķijuna bildi, sava dieva zvaigzni, ko jūs sev pašiem bijāt taisījuši.
Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 Tādēļ Es jūs aizvedīšu tālu viņpus Damaskus, saka Tas Kungs, kam vārds ir Dievs Cebaot.
And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
