Amosa 8
1 Tas Kungs Dievs man šādu lietu lika redzēt, un raugi, tur bija kurvis ar vasaras augļiem.
This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
2 Un Viņš sacīja: ko tu redzi, Amos? Un es sacīju: kurvi ar vasaras augļiem. Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: gals ir nācis maniem Israēla ļaudīm, Es tos vairs netaupīšu.
And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
3 Un Dieva nama dziesmas tai dienā taps par kaukšanu, saka Tas Kungs Dievs; tur būs daudz nomirušas miesas, ikkatrā vietā tās klusi taps nomestas.
And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.
4 Klausiet šo vārdu, jūs, kas aprijat nabagu un izdeldat bēdu ļaudis tai zemē,
Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,
5 Un sakāt: kad jaunais mēnesis pāries, ka labību pārdodam? Un svētdiena, ka labības klētis varam atdarīt un mazāku darām ēfu un sēķeli lielāku, viltīgi pārgrozīdami svaru?
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
6 Ka tos mazos varam pirkt par naudu un tos nabagus par pāri kurpju, tad pelus pārdosim par labību.
Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.
7 Tas Kungs ir zvērējis pie Jēkaba goda: Es visus viņu darbus neaizmirsīšu nemūžam.
The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.
8 Vai šādas lietas dēļ zemei nebūs kustināties, un visiem iedzīvotājiem iekš tās nebūs bēdāties? Tā visai uzplūdīs kā upe un plūdīs un nosīks kā Ēģiptes upe.
Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
9 Un notiks tai dienā saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tad Es saulei likšu noiet dienas vidū un aptumšošu zemi pašā gaismā.
And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
10 Un Es pārvērtīšu jūsu svētkus par bēdām un visas jūsu dziesmas par vaimanām, un uz visiem gurniem likšu maisu un uz visām galvām pleiķi(noskūt galvu), un Es likšu bēdāties kā par vienīgo dēlu, un gals būs rūgta diena.
Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 Redzi, dienas nāk, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, ka es badu sūtīšu tai zemē, ne badu pēc maizes un ne tvīkšanu pēc ūdens, bet klausīt Tā Kunga vārdus.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
12 Un tie skraidīs no vienas jūras līdz otrai, un tecēs apkārt no ziemeļa puses līdz rīta pusei Tā Kunga vārdu meklēt, bet neatradīs.
And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
13 Tai dienā skaistās jaunavas un jaunekļi apģībs no tvīkšanas,
In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.
14 Kas pie Samarijas nozieguma zvērē un saka: tik tiešām kā tavs Dievs dzīvo, Dan, tik tiešām kā tas ceļš uz Bēršebu! Un tie kritīs un vairs necelsies.
Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.
