Amosa 7
1 Tas Kungs Dievs man šādu lietu lika redzēt, un redzi, Viņš rādīja siseņus, kad atāls sāka augt, un redzi, atāls bija audzis pēc ķēniņa pļaušanas.
This is what the Lord God showed me: he was forming a swarm of locusts, when the late spring grass began to come up after the king’s share had been harvested.
2 Un kad tie zāli zemes virsū visnotaļ bija aprijuši, tad es sacīju: Kungs Dievs, piedod jel! Kā Jēkabs varēs pastāvēt, jo viņš ir mazs.
And when they had finished devouring all the land’s vegetation, I said: ‘Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob survive, for he is so helpless?’
3 Tad Tam Kungam bija žēl; tas nenotiks, sacīja Tas Kungs. -
The Lord relented. This will not happen,’ said the Lord.
4 Atkal Tas Kungs Dievs man šādu lietu lika redzēt, un redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs sauca un gribēja ar uguni sodīt, un tas jau norija to lielo jūru un aprija arī vienu zemes gabalu.
This is what he showed me: the Lord God was giving command to execute judgment by fire. It burned up the great deep, and had begun to devour the fields, and I said:
5 Tad es sacīju: Kungs Dievs, mitējies jel! Kā Jēkabs varēs pastāvēt, jo viņš ir mazs.
‘Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob survive, for he is so helpless?’
6 Tad tas Tam Kungam bija žēl; ir tas nenotiks, - sacīja Tas Kungs Dievs.
The Lord relented. ‘This will not happen either,’ said the Lord.
7 Atkal viņš man šādu lietu lika redzēt, un redzi, Tas Kungs stāvēja uz stāva mūra, un lote(svina svērtenis) bija Viņa rokā.
This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: ko tu redzi, Amos? Tad es sacīju: loti. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: redzi, Es pielikšu loti vidū Maniem Israēla ļaudīm, un viņus vairs netaupīšu;
And the Lord said to me, ‘What do you see, Amos?’ And I answered, ‘A plumb line,’ Then the Lord said, ‘Watch: I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel, I will no longer overlook their crookedness.
9 Bet Īzaka elku kalni taps iznīcināti, un Israēla svētās vietas taps nopostītas, un Es celšos pret Jerobeama namu ar zobenu.
And the high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste, and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.’
10 Tad Amacīja, Bēteles priesteris, sūtīja pie Jerobeama, Israēla ķēniņa, un sacīja: Amos ceļ dumpi pret tevi Israēla nama vidū, zeme nevar panest visus viņa vārdus.
Then Amaziah, chief priest of Bethel sent this message to King Jeroboam of Israel: ‘Amos has conspired against you right in the heart of Israel. The country cannot survive all his words.
11 Jo tā saka Amos: Jerobeams nomirs caur zobenu, un Israēls vešus no savas zemes taps aizvests.
Amos has said, “Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be led away captive out of their land.”’
12 Un Amacīja sacīja uz Amosu: tu redzētāj, ej, bēdz uz Jūda zemi, un ēd tur savu maizi,
And Amaziah said to Amos, ‘Leave, you who see visions, go to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and prophesy there,
13 Un sludini tur, bet Bētelē tev joprojām vairs nebūs sludināt, jo te ir ķēniņa svētā vieta, un te ir valsts pilsēta.
but don’t prophesy any more at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the royal residence.’
14 Tad Amos atbildēja un sacīja uz Amacīju: es neesmu pravietis nedz pravieša dēls, bet es esmu lopu gans un lasu meža vīģes;
‘I am no prophet,’ Amos answered Amaziah, ‘nor trained as one. I am a shepherd and a keeper of sycamores fig trees.
15 Bet Tas Kungs mani ņēmis no ganāmā pulka, un Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej, sludini Maniem Israēla ļaudīm.
But the Lord took me away from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”
16 Nu tad, klausi Tā Kunga vārdu! Tu saki: nesludini pret Israēli un nemāci pret Īzaka namu.
Now therefore listen to the Lord’s message: “You say not to prophesy against Israel, nor to preach against the house of Isaac.
17 Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs: tava sieva pilsētā taps par mauku, un tavi dēli un tavas meitas kritīs caur zobenu, un tava zeme taps mērota un izdalīta, un tu mirsi nešķīstā zemē, un Israēls vešus no savas zemes taps aizvests.
But the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be divided up, you will die on unclean soil, and Israel will be led away captive out of their land.”’
