Amos 6
1 How disastrous it will be for you who have an easy life in Zion, and you who feel secure living on Mount Samaria—you who are the most famous men in all of Israel to whom people come for help!
Ak vai, tiem, kas droši dzīvo Ciānā un bez bēdām uz Samarijas kalna, tiem vareniem pirmajā tautā, pie kuriem nāk tie no Israēla nama.
2 But go to Calneh, and see what took place there. Then go on to the great city of Hamath, and down to the Philistine city of Gath. Were they better kingdoms than yours? Did they have more territory than you?
Ejat uz Kalni un skatāties, un no turienes ejat uz Hamatu, to lielo pilsētu, tad noejat uz Gadu Fīlistos, vai tās ir labākas nekā šīs valstis, jeb vai viņu robežas lielākas nekā jūsu robežas.
3 You put out of your minds any thought of coming disaster, yet you are bringing closer the time when violence reigns.
Jūs, kam šķiet nelaimes dienu tālu esam un kas tuvu ceļat varasdarba krēslu,
4 How disastrous it will be for you people who lie on beds decorated with ivory and lounge on couches, eating lamb from your flocks and fattened calves from the stall.
Kas guļat uz ziloņkaulu gultām un staipāties savās guļās un ēdat jērus no ganāmā pulka un barotos teļus no laidaru vidus,
5 You make up songs accompanied by the harp, thinking you're great composers like David.
Kas pūšat somastabules un izdomājat mūzikas rīkus kā Dāvids,
6 You drink wine by the bowlful, and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph's descendants.
Kas vīnu dzerat no kausiem un svaidāties ar visdārgāko eļļu, bet nebēdājaties par Jāzepa vainu!
7 So you will be at the head of those led away into exile; the feasting and lazing around will be over.
Tādēļ tie nu ies cietumā paši pirmie starp cietumniekiem, un plītnieku kliegšana mitēsies.
8 The Lord God has sworn an oath on his own life. This is what the Lord God of power declares: I detest Jacob's arrogance and I hate his fortresses; I will hand over this city and all in it to the enemy.
Tas Kungs Dievs ir zvērējis pie savas dvēseles, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot: Man riebj Jēkaba lepnība un Es ienīstu viņa skaistos namus, tādēļ Es to pilsētu nodošu ar visu, kas tur iekšā.
9 If there are ten people in a house, they will die.
Un notiks, ja tur desmit vīri būs atlikuši vienā namā, tie mirs.
10 And when a relative comes to take away the bodies from the house, he will ask someone inside “Is there anyone else with you?” The person will reply, “No...” Then the other will say, “Quiet! Don't even mention the Lord's name.”
Un kad ko ņems viņa svainis vai viņa dedzinātājs, un iznesīs tos kaulus no nama un sacīs uz to, kas nama kambarī: vai tur vēl kāds pie tevis? Un tas sacīs: nav neviena. Tad viņš sacīs: ciet klusu! Jo Tā Kunga vārdu nebūs pieminēt.
11 Watch out! When the Lord gives the command, large houses will be reduced to rubble, and small houses smashed to pieces.
Jo redzi, Tas Kungs dod pavēli, un sitīs to lielo namu, ka sagrūs, un to mazo namu, ka sadrups.
12 Can horses gallop over rocks? Can oxen plow the sea? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of doing good into bitterness!
Vai zirgi var skriet pa klintīm? Vai tur virsū var art ar vēršiem? Jo jūs esat pārvērtuši tiesu par žulti un taisnības augļus par vērmelēm?
13 You joyfully celebrate your conquest of Lodebar, and say “Didn't we in our own strength capture Karnaim?”
Jūs, kas priecājaties par nieku un sakāt: Vai mēs caur savu stiprumu sev neesam varu dabūjuši?
14 Watch out, people of Israel! I am going to send an enemy nation to attack you, says the Lord God of power, and they will oppress you from the Pass of Hamath to the Arabah Valley.
Jo redzi, pret jums, jūs Israēla nams, saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Es celšu vienu tautu, - un tā jūs nospaidīs no Hamatas ceļa līdz tuksneša upei.
