Книга пророка Амоса 4
1 Слышите слово сие, юницы Васанитидския, яже в горе Самарийстей, преобидящыя убогих и попирающыя нищих, глаголющыя господем своим: подадите нам, да пием.
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."
2 Клятся Господь святыми Своими, яко се, дние грядут на вы, и возмут вы во оружии, и сущих с вами ввергут в конобы подгнещаемыя огненнии губителие:
Jehovah has sworn by his holiness: "Look, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 и извержены будете наги прямо друг друга и отвержетеся в гору Ремман, глаголет Господь.
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says Jehovah.
4 Внидосте в Вефиль и беззаконновасте, и в Галгалех умножисте еже нечествовати, и принесосте заутра требы вашя, в треденство десятины вашя:
"Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 и прочтоша извне закон и призваша исповедание: возвестите, яко сия возлюбиша сынове Израилевы, глаголет Господь Бог.
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says Jehovah.
6 Аз же дам вам оскомину зубом во всех градех ваших и недостаток хлеба во всех местех ваших: и не обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
"I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
7 И аз удержах дождь от вас прежде триех месяцев жатвы, и надождю на един град, а на другий (един) не надождю: часть едина надождится, и часть, на нюже не надождю, изсохнет:
"I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.
8 и соберутся два и три града во град един пити воду и не насытятся: и не обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
9 Побих вы раждежением и златеницею: умножисте вертограды вашя, винограды вашя и смоквы вашя и масличия ваша: сия поядоша гусеницы: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
"I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
10 Послах на вы смерть на пути Египетстем, и избих оружием юношы вашя, с пленом коней твоих, и изведох во огни Полки вашя во гневе Моем: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
"I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
11 Разорих вы, якоже разори Бог Содому и Гоморру, и бысте яко главня исторжена из огня: и ниже тако обратистеся ко Мне, глаголет Господь.
"I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
12 Сего ради сице сотворю ти, Израилю: обаче, яко сице сотворю ти, уготовися призывати Бога твоего, Израилю.
"Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 Се, Аз утвержаяй гром и созидаяй ветр и возвещаяй в человецех Христа Своего, творяй утро и мглу и восходяй на высокая земли: Господь Бог Вседержитель имя Ему.
For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name."
