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.
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, you who are in the mountain of Samaria, you who oppress the poor, you who crush the needy, you who say to your husbands, “Bring us drinks.”
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:
The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Look, the days will come on you when they will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
3 и извержены будете наги прямо друг друга и отвержетеся в гору Ремман, глаголет Господь.
You will go out through the breaks in the city wall, each one of you going straight through it, and you will be thrown out toward Harmon —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
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 sin, to Gilgal and multiply sin, bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days.
5 и прочтоша извне закон и призваша исповедание: возвестите, яко сия возлюбиша сынове Израилевы, глаголет Господь Бог.
Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice with bread; proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases you, you people of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.
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 gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
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:
I also withheld rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One piece of land was rained on, but the piece of land 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.
Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water, but were not satisfied. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 afflicted you with blight and mildew. The multitude of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees— the locusts devoured them all. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 sent a plague on you as on Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, carried away your horses, and made the stench of your camp come up to your nostrils. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 overthrew cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched out of the fire. Yet you have not returned to me —this is Yahweh's declaration.
12 Сего ради сице сотворю ти, Израилю: обаче, яко сице сотворю ти, уготовися призывати Бога твоего, Израилю.
Therefore I will do something terrible to you, Israel; and because I will do something terrible to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
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.
For, look, he who forms the mountains also creates the wind, reveals his thoughts to mankind, makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth. Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.”
