Amosa 5
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, ar ko es par jums sāku raudu dziesmu, Israēla nams!
Hear all of you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 Israēla meita ir kritusi, viņa vairs necelsies, viņa ir atstāta zemē, neviena nav, kas to uzceļ.
The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to 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.
For thus says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Israēla namu: meklējiet Mani un dzīvojiet!
For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek all of you me, and all of you 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, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 Meklējiet To Kungu un dzīvojiet, - lai Viņš neizšaujas Jāzepa namā kā uguns, kas to norij, un neviens to nevar dzēst Bētelē, -
Seek the LORD, and all of you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7 Jūs, kas tiesu pārvēršat par vērmelēm un stumjat taisnību pie zemes:
All of you who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in 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,
Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
9 Tam prāts ir, to spēcīgo postīt, ka posts nāk pār stipro pili.
That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 Tie ienīst to, kas vārtos pārmāca, un kas patiesību runā, to tie tur par negantu.
They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they detest him that speaks uprightly.
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.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and all of you take from him burdens of wheat: all of you have built houses of hewn stone, but all of you shall not dwell in them; all of you have planted pleasant vineyards, but all of you shall not drink 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 manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Tādēļ prātīgais šinīs laikos cieš klusu, jo tie ir nikni laiki.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
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 all of you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as all of you have spoken.
15 Ienīstiet ļaunu un mīļojiet labu un spriežat vārtos tiesu, vai varbūt Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, neapžēlosies par Jāzepa atlikušiem.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto 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 the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 Un visos vīna dārzos būs vaimanas, jo Es iešu caur jūsu vidu, saka Tas Kungs.
And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says 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 unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD 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 did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Vai tad Tā Kunga diena nebūs tumsa un ne gaisma, un nakts, kam nav spožuma?
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 Es ienīstu un atmetu jūsu svētkus un negribu ost jūsu sapulces.
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn 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.
Though all of you offer me burnt offerings and your food offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Atstājies jel no Manis ar savu dziesmu bļaušanu, un tavu kokļu skaņu Es negribu dzirdēt.
Take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
24 Bet lai plūst tiesa kā ūdens un taisnība kā stipra upe.
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Vai četrdesmit gadus tuksnesī jūs Man esat nesuši upurus un ēdamus upurus, Israēla nams?
Have all of you offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 Bet jūs nesāt sava(Sikuta) ķēniņa būdu un sava Ķijuna bildi, sava dieva zvaigzni, ko jūs sev pašiem bijāt taisījuši.
But all of you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which all of you made to yourselves.
27 Tādēļ Es jūs aizvedīšu tālu viņpus Damaskus, saka Tas Kungs, kam vārds ir Dievs Cebaot.
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
