Amosa 3
1 Klausiet šo vārdu, ko Tas Kungs runā uz jums, Israēla bērni, proti uz visām tām ciltīm, ko Es no Ēģiptes zemes esmu izvedis, sacīdams:
Hear this word that YHWH has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2 Es jūs vien esmu atzinis no visām zemes tautām, tādēļ Es pie jums piemeklēšu visus jūsu noziegumus.
"You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."
3 Vai divi gan kopā staigā, ja tie papriekš nav saderējušies?
Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4 Vai lauva mežā rūc, kad viņam laupījuma nav? Vai jauns lauva balsi paceļ no savas alas, kad neko nav gūstījis?
Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5 Vai putns iekrīt valgā pie zemes, kur valga priekš viņa nav? Vai valgs no zemes ceļas, ar ko nekas nav gūstīts?
Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
6 Vai pilsētā bazūnē ar bazūni, un ļaudis neiztrūkstās? Vai kāda nelaime notiek pilsētā, ko Tas Kungs nedara?
Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless YHWH has done it?
7 Tiešām, Tas Kungs Dievs nekā nedara, kad viņš savu noslēpumu neparāda saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem.
Surely YHWH will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 Kad lauva rūc, kas nebītos? Tas Kungs Dievs runā, kam nebūtu jāsludina?
The lion has roared. Who will not fear? YHWH has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
9 Liekat to dzirdēt Ašdodas skaistos namos un Ēģiptes zemes pilīs un sakāt: sapulcinājaties uz Samarijas kalniem un redziet tos lielos trokšņus viņas vidū, un tos nospaidītos viņas starpā.
Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountain of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."
10 Jo tie nezin darīt, kas tiesa(taisnība), saka Tas Kungs, krādami netaisnību un varas darbu savās pilīs.
"Indeed they do not know to do right," says YHWH, "Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces."
11 Tāpēc Tas Kungs Dievs tā saka: spaidi zemei visapkārt! Un viņš nogāzīs tavu stiprumu, un tavi skaistie nami taps izpostīti.
Therefore thus says YHWH: "An adversary will surround the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered."
12 Tā saka Tas Kungs: kā gans izrauj no lauvas rīkles divus stilbus vai kādu auss gabaliņu, tā Israēla bērni tiks izglābti, kas Samarijā sēž gultas kaktā uz Damaskus pēļa.
Thus says YHWH: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
13 Klausiet un dodiet liecību Jēkaba namam, saka Tas Kungs Dievs, tas Dievs Cebaot:
"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says YHWH, the God of hosts.
14 Tai dienā, kad Es Israēla pārkāpumus pie viņa piemeklēšu, tad Es piemeklēšu Bēteles altārus, un tie altāra ragi taps nocirsti un kritīs zemē.
"For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 Un Es sitīšu tiklab ziemas pili kā vasaras pili, un tie ziloņkaulu nami ies bojā, un daudz nami taps izpostīti, saka Tas Kungs.
I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says YHWH.
