Amos 5
1 Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel.
Klausiet šo vārdu, ar ko es par jums sāku raudu dziesmu, Israēla nams!
2 The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again.
Israēla meita ir kritusi, viņa vairs necelsies, viņa ir atstāta zemē, neviena nav, kas to uzceļ.
3 For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai pilsētai, kur iziet tūkstoši, atliksies simts, un kur iziet simts, atliksies desmit Israēla namā.
4 For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz Israēla namu: meklējiet Mani un dzīvojiet!
5 Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
Bet nemeklējiet Bēteli un nenāciet uz Gilgalu un nenoejat uz Bēršebu, jo Gilgala taps aizvesta un Bētele paliks par neko.
6 Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
Meklējiet To Kungu un dzīvojiet, - lai Viņš neizšaujas Jāzepa namā kā uguns, kas to norij, un neviens to nevar dzēst Bētelē, -
7 You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;
Jūs, kas tiesu pārvēršat par vērmelēm un stumjat taisnību pie zemes:
8 Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
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,
9 Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.
Tam prāts ir, to spēcīgo postīt, ka posts nāk pār stipro pili.
10 They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.
Tie ienīst to, kas vārtos pārmāca, un kas patiesību runā, to tie tur par negantu.
11 So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
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.
12 For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place.
Jo es zinu, ka jūsu pārkāpumu daudz un jūsu grēku varen daudz. Tie nospaida taisno un ņem dāvanas, un nomāc nabagus vārtos.
13 So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
Tādēļ prātīgais šinīs laikos cieš klusu, jo tie ir nikni laiki.
14 Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
Meklējiet labu un ne ļaunu, lai jūs dzīvojat, un tā Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, būs ar jums, kā jūs sakāt.
15 Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
Ienīstiet ļaunu un mīļojiet labu un spriežat vārtos tiesu, vai varbūt Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, neapžēlosies par Jāzepa atlikušiem.
16 So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
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.
17 In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.
Un visos vīna dārzos būs vaimanas, jo Es iešu caur jūsu vidu, saka Tas Kungs.
18 Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
Ak vai, tiem, kas ilgojās pēc Tā Kunga dienas! Par ko tad jums būs Tā Kunga diena? Tā būs tumsa un ne gaisma.
19 As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
Tā kā kad vīrs bēgtu no lauvas un to sastaptu lācis! Un nāktu namā un atslietos ar roku pie sienas, un čūska viņam iedzeltu!
20 Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
Vai tad Tā Kunga diena nebūs tumsa un ne gaisma, un nakts, kam nav spožuma?
21 Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
Es ienīstu un atmetu jūsu svētkus un negribu ost jūsu sapulces.
22 Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
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.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
Atstājies jel no Manis ar savu dziesmu bļaušanu, un tavu kokļu skaņu Es negribu dzirdēt.
24 But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Bet lai plūst tiesa kā ūdens un taisnība kā stipra upe.
25 Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
Vai četrdesmit gadus tuksnesī jūs Man esat nesuši upurus un ēdamus upurus, Israēla nams?
26 Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
Bet jūs nesāt sava(Sikuta) ķēniņa būdu un sava Ķijuna bildi, sava dieva zvaigzni, ko jūs sev pašiem bijāt taisījuši.
27 And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
Tādēļ Es jūs aizvedīšu tālu viņpus Damaskus, saka Tas Kungs, kam vārds ir Dievs Cebaot.
