Амос 2
1 Так говорит Господь: за три преступления Моава и за четыре не пощажу его, потому что он пережег кости царя Едомского в известь.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
2 И пошлю огонь на Моава, и пожрет чертоги Кериофа, и погибнет Моав среди разгрома с шумом, при звуке трубы.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
3 Истреблю судью из среды его и умерщвлю всех князей его вместе с ним, говорит Господь.
[and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
4 Так говорит Господь: за три преступления Иуды и за четыре не пощажу его, потому что отвергли закон Господень и постановлений Его не сохранили, и идолы их, вслед которых ходили отцы их, совратили их с пути.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
5 И пошлю огонь на Иуду, и пожрет чертоги Иерусалима.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
6 Так говорит Господь: за три преступления Израиля и за четыре не пощажу его, потому что продают правого за серебро и бедного - за пару сандалий.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
7 Жаждут, чтобы прах земной был на голове бедных, и путь кротких извращают; даже отец и сын ходят к одной женщине, чтобы бесславить святое имя Мое.
[It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
8 На одеждах, взятых в залог, возлежат при всяком жертвеннике, и вино, взыскиваемое с обвиненных, пьют в доме богов своих.
[When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
9 А Я истребил перед лицем их Аморрея, которого высота была как высота кедра и который был крепок, как дуб; Я истребил плод его вверху и корни его внизу.
[Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
10 Вас же Я вывел из земли Египетской и водил вас в пустыне сорок лет, чтобы вам наследовать землю Аморрейскую.
I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
11 Из сыновей ваших Я избирал в пророки и из юношей ваших - в назореи; не так ли это, сыны Израиля? - говорит Господь.
I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
12 А вы назореев поили вином и пророкам приказывали, говоря: “не пророчествуйте”.
But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
13 Вот, Я придавлю вас, как давит колесница, нагруженная снопами, -
So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
14 и у проворного не станет силы бежать, и крепкий не удержит крепости своей, и храбрый не спасет своей жизни,
[Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
15 ни стреляющий из лука не устоит, ни скороход не убежит, ни сидящий на коне не спасет своей жизни.
[Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
16 И самый отважный из храбрых убежит нагой в тот день, говорит Господь.
[Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
