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.
Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
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.
But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
3 Jūs, kam šķiet nelaimes dienu tālu esam un kas tuvu ceļat varasdarba krēslu,
You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
4 Kas guļat uz ziloņkaulu gultām un staipāties savās guļās un ēdat jērus no ganāmā pulka un barotos teļus no laidaru vidus,
You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
5 Kas pūšat somastabules un izdomājat mūzikas rīkus kā Dāvids,
You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
6 Kas vīnu dzerat no kausiem un svaidāties ar visdārgāko eļļu, bet nebēdājaties par Jāzepa vainu!
You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
7 Tādēļ tie nu ies cietumā paši pirmie starp cietumniekiem, un plītnieku kliegšana mitēsies.
Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
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.
Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
9 Un notiks, ja tur desmit vīri būs atlikuši vienā namā, tie mirs.
[When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
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.
If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
11 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs dod pavēli, un sitīs to lielo namu, ka sagrūs, un to mazo namu, ka sadrups.
[Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
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?
Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
13 Jūs, kas priecājaties par nieku un sakāt: Vai mēs caur savu stiprumu sev neesam varu dabūjuši?
You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
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.
But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
