Книга пророка Амоса 1
1 Словеса Амосова, яже быша в Кариафиариме от Фекуи, яже виде о Иерусалиме во дни Озии царя Иудина и во дни Иеровоама сына Иоасова царя Израилева, прежде двою лет труса.
Here is the message that was given to Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah. This is what he saw concerning Israel when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, was king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 И рече: Господь от Сиона возглагола и от Иерусалима даде глас Свой: и сетоваша пажити пастырей, и изсше верх Кармиль.
And he said, The Lord roars from Zion, he shouts from Jerusalem. The shepherds' pastures wither, the top of Mount Carmel dries up.
3 И рече Господь: за три нечестия Дамаска и за четыри не отвращуся его, понеже растроша пилами железными имущыя во утробе сущих в Галааде:
This is what the Lord says: The people of Damascus have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they beat the people of Gilead with sharp iron threshing tools.
4 и послю огнь в дом Азаиль, и пояст основание сына Адерова:
So I will send fire down on the house of Hazael and burn up Ben-Hadad's fortresses.
5 и сокрушу вереи Дамасковы, и потреблю живущыя с поля Онова, и посеку племя от мужей Харраних, и пленятся людие Сирстии нарочитии, глаголет Господь.
I will smash the gates of Damascus, I will cut down those who live in the Valley of Aven, and the ruler from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported as prisoners to the land of Kir, says the Lord.
6 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия Газы и за четыри не отвращуся их, за еже пленити им пленение Соломоне, еже заключити во Идумею:
This is what the Lord says: The people of Gaza have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they sent into exile whole communities, handing them over to Edom.
7 и послю огнь на забрала Газы, и пояст основание ея:
So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza and burn up its fortresses.
8 и потреблю живущыя из Азота, и извержется племя из Аскалона, и наведу руку Мою на Аккарона, и погибнут остаточнии иноплеменников, глаголет Господь.
I will cut down those who live in Ashdod and the ruler of Ashkelon. I will turn to punish Ekron and the Philistines who remain will die, says the Lord God.
9 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия Тирова и за четыри не отвращуся его, понеже заключиша пленники Соломони во Идумею и не помянуша завета братня:
This is what the Lord says: The people of Tyre have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they exiled whole communities, handing them over to Edom, and did not keep their agreement to help each other as members of the same family.
10 и послю огнь на забрала Тирова, и пояст основания его.
So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre and burn up its fortresses.
11 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия Идумейска и за четыри не отвращуся их, понеже прогнаша брата своего мечем и растлиша матерь на земли, и восхити во свидение грозу свою, и устремление свое снабде на победу:
This is what the Lord says: The people of Edom have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they hunted down the Israelites to whom they were related, killing them with swords. They attacked without mercy, tearing the Israelites to pieces in an angry rage that never stopped.
12 и послю огнь в Феман, и пояст основания оград его.
So I will send down fire on Teman, and I will burn up the fortresses of Bozrah.
13 Сия глаголет Господь: за три нечестия сынов Аммоних и за четыри не отвращуся их, понеже распоряху имущыя во утробе Галаадитов, яко да разширят пределы своя:
This is what the Lord says: The people of Ammon have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead as part of their war to enlarge their territory.
14 и разжегу огнь на забрала Раввафы, и пояст основания ея с воплем в день рати, и потрясется в день скончания своего:
I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn up its fortresses. There will be shouts on the day of battle which will whirl with rage like a windstorm.
15 и пойдут царие ея в плен, жерцы их и князи их вкупе, глаголет Господь.
Their king will be sent into exile together with his princes, says the Lord.
