Amosa 6
1 Ak vai, tiem, kas droši dzīvo Ciānā un bez bēdām uz Samarijas kalna, tiem vareniem pirmajā tautā, pie kuriem nāk tie no Israēla nama.
Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!
2 Ejat uz Kalni un skatāties, un no turienes ejat uz Hamatu, to lielo pilsētu, tad noejat uz Gadu Fīlistos, vai tās ir labākas nekā šīs valstis, jeb vai viņu robežas lielākas nekā jūsu robežas.
Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
3 Jūs, kam šķiet nelaimes dienu tālu esam un kas tuvu ceļat varasdarba krēslu,
You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;
4 Kas guļat uz ziloņkaulu gultām un staipāties savās guļās un ēdat jērus no ganāmā pulka un barotos teļus no laidaru vidus,
Who are resting on beds of ivory, stretched out on soft seats, feasting on lambs from the flock and young oxen from the cattle-house;
5 Kas pūšat somastabules un izdomājat mūzikas rīkus kā Dāvids,
Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Kas vīnu dzerat no kausiem un svaidāties ar visdārgāko eļļu, bet nebēdājaties par Jāzepa vainu!
Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
7 Tādēļ tie nu ies cietumā paši pirmie starp cietumniekiem, un plītnieku kliegšana mitēsies.
So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
8 Tas Kungs Dievs ir zvērējis pie savas dvēseles, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Man riebj Jēkaba lepnība un Es ienīstu viņa skaistos namus, tādēļ Es to pilsētu nodošu ar visu, kas tur iekšā.
The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.
9 Un notiks, ja tur desmit vīri būs atlikuši vienā namā, tie mirs.
Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.
10 Un kad ko ņems viņa svainis vai viņa dedzinātājs, un iznesīs tos kaulus no nama un sacīs uz to, kas nama kambarī: vai tur vēl kāds pie tevis? Un tas sacīs: nav neviena. Tad viņš sacīs: ciet klusu! Jo Tā Kunga vārdu nebūs pieminēt.
And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
11 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs dod pavēli, un sitīs to lielo namu, ka sagrūs, un to mazo namu, ka sadrups.
For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.
12 Vai zirgi var skriet pa klintīm? Vai tur virsū var art ar vēršiem? Jo jūs esat pārvērtuši tiesu par žulti un taisnības augļus par vērmelēm?
Is it possible for horses to go running on the rock? may the sea be ploughed with oxen? for the right to be turned by you into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into a bitter plant?
13 Jūs, kas priecājaties par nieku un sakāt: Vai mēs caur savu stiprumu sev neesam varu dabūjuši?
You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
14 Jo redzi, pret jums, jūs Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Es celšu vienu tautu, - un tā jūs nospaidīs no Hamatas ceļa līdz tuksneša upei.
For see, I will send against you a nation, O Israel, says the Lord, the God of armies, ruling you cruelly from the way into Hamath as far as the stream of the Arabah.
