Книга пророка Амоса 7
1 Сице показа ми Господь Бог, и се, приплод пружий идый утренний, и се, гусеница, един Гог царь.
This is what YHWH showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
2 И будет, аще скончает ядый траву земную, и рех: Господи, Господи, милостив буди, кто возставит Иакова? Яко мал есть.
It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
3 Раскайся о сем, Господи: и сие не будет, глаголет Господь.
YHWH relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says YHWH.
4 Сице показа ми Господь, и се, призва прю во огни Господь Бог, и пояде бездну многу, и пояде часть.
This is what YHWH showed me: And look, YHWH called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
5 И рех: Господи, Господи, престани ныне, кто возставит Иакова? Яко мал есть.
Then I said, "YHWH, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
6 Раскайся о сем, Господи: и сие не будет, глаголет Господь.
YHWH relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says YHWH.
7 Сице показа ми Господь: и се, Муж стояй на ограде адамантове, и в руце Его адамант.
This is what YHWH showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 И рече Господь ко мне: что ты видиши, Амосе? И рех: адамант. И рече Господь ко мне: се, Аз учиню адаманта среде людий Моих Израиля, ктому не приложу, еже мимоити его:
And YHWH said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then YHWH said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
9 и потребятся требища смеха, и требы Израилевы опустеют, и востану на дом Иеровоамль со оружием.
The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
10 И посла Амасиа жрец Вефильский ко Иеровоаму царю Израилеву глаголя: развраты творит на тя Амос среде дому Израилева, не возможет земля подяти всех словес его,
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11 понеже сия глаголет Амос: оружием скончается Иеровоам, Израиль же пленен отведется от земли своея.
For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
12 И рече Амасиа ко Амосови: видяй гряди и отиди ты на землю Иудину, и тамо живи, и тамо да прорицаеши:
Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 а в Вефили посем не приложи прорицати, яко освящение царя есть и дом есть царства.
but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house."
14 И отвеща Амос и рече ко Амасии: не бех пророк аз, ниже сын пророчь, но пастырь бех и ягодичия обирая:
Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
15 и поя мя Господь от овец и рече ко мне: иди и прорцы на люди Моя Израиля.
and YHWH took me from following the flock, and YHWH said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16 И ныне слыши слово Господне: ты глаголеши: не прорицай на Израиля и не возмущай народа на дом Иаковль:
Now therefore listen to the word of YHWH: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim against the house of Isaac.'
17 сего ради сия глаголет Господь: жена твоя во граде соблудит, сынове же твои и дщери оружием падут, и земля твоя ужем измерится, и ты на земли нечистей скончаешися, и Израиль пленен отведется от земли своея.
Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
