Amosa 5
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, ar ko es par jums sāku raudu dziesmu, Israēla nams!
Hear ye this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
2 Israēla meita ir kritusi, viņa vairs necelsies, viņa ir atstāta zemē, neviena nav, kas to uzceļ.
The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
3 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai pilsētai, kur iziet tūkstoši, atliksies simts, un kur iziet simts, atliksies desmit Israēla namā.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Israēla namu: meklējiet Mani un dzīvojiet!
Wherefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
5 Bet nemeklējiet Bēteli un nenāciet uz Gilgalu un nenoejat uz Bēršebu, jo Gilgala taps aizvesta un Bētele paliks par neko.
But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
6 Meklējiet To Kungu un dzīvojiet, - lai Viņš neizšaujas Jāzepa namā kā uguns, kas to norij, un neviens to nevar dzēst Bētelē, -
Seek ye the Lord, and ye shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
7 Jūs, kas tiesu pārvēršat par vērmelēm un stumjat taisnību pie zemes:
[It is he] that executes judgment in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:
8 Kas radījis Sietiņu un Orijonu un nāves ēnu pārvērš par rīta gaismu un dienu aptumšo, ka nakts metās, kas jūras ūdeni sauc un to izgāž pa zemes virsu, - Kungs ir Viņa vārds,
who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
9 Tam prāts ir, to spēcīgo postīt, ka posts nāk pār stipro pili.
who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
10 Tie ienīst to, kas vārtos pārmāca, un kas patiesību runā, to tie tur par negantu.
They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
11 Tādēļ ka jūs apbēdinājāt nabagu un ņemat labības dāvanu no viņa, tad jūs gan esiet uztaisījuši namus no cirstiem akmeņiem, bet jūs tanīs nedzīvosiet, jūs esat stādījuši diženus vīna dārzus, bet viņu vīnu jūs nedzersiet.
Therefore because they have smitten the poor with their fists, and ye have received of them choice gifts; ye have built polished houses, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted desirable vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine of them.
12 Jo es zinu, ka jūsu pārkāpumu daudz un jūsu grēku varen daudz. Tie nospaida taisno un ņem dāvanas, un nomāc nabagus vārtos.
For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates.
13 Tādēļ prātīgais šinīs laikos cieš klusu, jo tie ir nikni laiki.
Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
14 Meklējiet labu un ne ļaunu, lai jūs dzīvojat, un tā Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, būs ar jums, kā jūs sakāt.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as ye have said,
15 Ienīstiet ļaunu un mīļojiet labu un spriežat vārtos tiesu, vai varbūt Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, neapžēlosies par Jāzepa atlikušiem.
We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore ye judgment in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
16 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Tas Kungs: visās ielās vaimanas un visās gatvēs saka: vai, vai! Arāju sauc pie asarām, un pie vaimanām vaidētājus.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
17 Un visos vīna dārzos būs vaimanas, jo Es iešu caur jūsu vidu, saka Tas Kungs.
And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
18 Ak vai, tiem, kas ilgojās pēc Tā Kunga dienas! Par ko tad jums būs Tā Kunga diena? Tā būs tumsa un ne gaisma.
Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light.
19 Tā kā kad vīrs bēgtu no lauvas un to sastaptu lācis! Un nāktu namā un atslietos ar roku pie sienas, un čūska viņam iedzeltu!
As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
20 Vai tad Tā Kunga diena nebūs tumsa un ne gaisma, un nakts, kam nav spožuma?
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
21 Es ienīstu un atmetu jūsu svētkus un negribu ost jūsu sapulces.
I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies.
22 Jo kad jūs Man dedzināmos upurus upurējat līdz ar saviem ēdamiem upuriem, tad Man pie viņiem nav labs prāts, un pateicības upuri no jūsu barotiem lopiem Es negribu ieredzēt.
Wherefore if ye should bring me your whole-burnt-sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
23 Atstājies jel no Manis ar savu dziesmu bļaušanu, un tavu kokļu skaņu Es negribu dzirdēt.
Remove from me the sound of thy songs, and I will not hear the music of thine instruments.
24 Bet lai plūst tiesa kā ūdens un taisnība kā stipra upe.
But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.
25 Vai četrdesmit gadus tuksnesī jūs Man esat nesuši upurus un ēdamus upurus, Israēla nams?
Have ye offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
26 Bet jūs nesāt sava(Sikuta) ķēniņa būdu un sava Ķijuna bildi, sava dieva zvaigzni, ko jūs sev pašiem bijāt taisījuši.
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which ye made for yourselves.
27 Tādēļ Es jūs aizvedīšu tālu viņpus Damaskus, saka Tas Kungs, kam vārds ir Dievs Cebaot.
And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
