Книга пророка Амоса 4
1 Слышите слово сие, юницы Васанитидския, яже в горе Самарийстей, преобидящыя убогих и попирающыя нищих, глаголющыя господем своим: подадите нам, да пием.
You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”
2 Клятся Господь святыми Своими, яко се, дние грядут на вы, и возмут вы во оружии, и сущих с вами ввергут в конобы подгнещаемыя огненнии губителие:
But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
3 и извержены будете наги прямо друг друга и отвержетеся в гору Ремман, глаголет Господь.
[Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
4 Внидосте в Вефиль и беззаконновасте, и в Галгалех умножисте еже нечествовати, и принесосте заутра требы вашя, в треденство десятины вашя:
Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
5 и прочтоша извне закон и призваша исповедание: возвестите, яко сия возлюбиша сынове Израилевы, глаголет Господь Бог.
Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
6 Аз же дам вам оскомину зубом во всех градех ваших и недостаток хлеба во всех местех ваших: и не обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
7 И аз удержах дождь от вас прежде триех месяцев жатвы, и надождю на един град, а на другий (един) не надождю: часть едина надождится, и часть, на нюже не надождю, изсохнет:
When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.
8 и соберутся два и три града во град един пити воду и не насытятся: и не обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
9 Побих вы раждежением и златеницею: умножисте вертограды вашя, винограды вашя и смоквы вашя и масличия ваша: сия поядоша гусеницы: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
10 Послах на вы смерть на пути Египетстем, и избих оружием юношы вашя, с пленом коней твоих, и изведох во огни Полки вашя во гневе Моем: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
11 Разорих вы, якоже разори Бог Содому и Гоморру, и бысте яко главня исторжена из огня: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
12 Сего ради сице сотворю ти, Израилю: обаче, яко сице сотворю ти, уготовися призывати Бога твоего, Израилю.
So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
13 Се, Аз утвержаяй гром и созидаяй ветр и возвещаяй в человецех Христа Своего, творяй утро и мглу и восходяй на высокая земли: Господь Бог Вседержитель имя Ему.
I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
