आमोस 3
1 १ इस्राएलाच्या लोकांनो, जे सर्व घराणे मी मिसरामधून बाहेर आणले त्यांच्याविषयी, परमेश्वराने तुमच्याविरुध्द जे वचन सांगितले ते ऐका,
“You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
2 २ “पृथ्वीवरील सर्व घराण्यांमधून, मी फक्त तुम्हास निवडले आहे. म्हणून मी तुमच्या सर्व पापांसाठी तुम्हास शिक्षा करीन.”
From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
4 ४ शिकार मिळाली नाही तर जंगलात सिंह गर्जना करील काय? तरुण सिंहाने काही धरले नसेल तर त्याच्या गुहेतून तो गुरगुरेल काय?
A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
6 ६ रणशिंगे फुंकली गेली, तर लोक भिणार नाहीत काय? नगरावर संकट आले आणि ते परमेश्वराने घडवून आणले नाही असे होईल का?
[Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
7 ७ खरोखर आपला बेत त्याच्या सेवकांना म्हणजेच संदेष्ट्यांना प्रगट केल्यावचून, प्रभू परमेश्वर काहीच करणार नाही.
And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
8 ८ सिंहाने डरकाळी फोडल्यास, कोण भिणार नाही? परमेश्वर बोलला आहे; तर कोणाच्याने भविष्य सांगितल्यावाचून राहवेल?
Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
9 ९ अश्दोद व मिसर देशाच्या उंच मनोऱ्यांवरून पुढील संदेशाची घोषणा करा: “शोमरोनच्या पर्वतांवर एकत्र जमा, आणि त्यामध्ये किती भयंकर गोंधळ आणि काय जुलूम आहेत ते पाहा.
[I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
11 ११ यास्तव परमेश्वर म्हणतो: “त्या देशाला शत्रू घेरतील, तो तुमचे सामर्थ्य तुमच्यापासून खाली आणेल, आणि तुझे महाल लुटले जातील.”
So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
12 १२ परमेश्वर असे म्हणतो, “जसा मेंढपाळ सिंहाच्या तोंडातून फक्त दोन पाय, किंवा कानाचा तुकडा वाचवितो, त्याचप्रकारे इस्राएली लोक जे शोमरोनामध्ये पलंगाच्या कोपऱ्यात किंवा खाटेच्या रेशमी गाद्यांवर बसतात ती वाचवली जातील.”
Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
14 १४ कारण ज्या दिवसात मी इस्राएलाला त्याच्या पापा बद्दल शिक्षा करीन तेव्हा मी बेथेलच्या वेद्याही नष्ट करीन, वेदीची शिंगे तोडली जातील आणि ती भूमीवर पडतील.
When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 १५ हिवाळी महाल उन्हाळ्यातील महालाबरोबर मी नष्ट करीन. हस्तिदंती घरांचा आणि इतर पुष्कळ घरांचा नाश केला जाईल.” परमेश्वराने या गोष्टी सांगितल्या आहेत.
I will cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
