Амос 5
Bulgarian Bible
5 Слушайте това слово, Плачът, който аз започвам за вас, доме Израилев: -
2 Падна Израилевата девица, Няма да стане вече; Хвърлена е на земята си Без да има кой да я вдигне.
3 Защото така казва Господ Иеова: Градът, из който излизаха хиляда, ще остане със сто за Израилевия дом, И оня, из който излизаха сто, ще остане с десет.
4 Защото така казва Господ за Израилевия дом: Потърсете Мене и ще живеете;
5 Но не търсете Ветил, Нито влизайте в Галгал, Нито заминавайте във Вирсавее; Защото Галгал непременно ще отиде в плен, И Ветил ще стане нищо.
6 Потърсете Господа и ще живеете; Да не би да избухне като огън в Йосифовия дом Та го пояде, без да има кой да го гаси във Ветил.
7 Вие, които обръщате правосъдието в пелин, И хвърляте наземи правдата,
8 Потърсете тогова, който прави Плеадите и Ориона, Който обръща мрачната сянка в зора, И помрачава деня та става нощ, - Тогова, който повиква морските води И ги излива по лицето на земята, (Иеова е името му,) -
9 Тогова, който нанася внезапна гибел върху силните, Тъй щото гибел достига в крепостите.
10 Те мразят тогова, който изобличава в портата, И се гнусят от оногова, който говори справедливо.
11 Прочее, понеже угнетявате сиромаха И изтръгвате от него платки жито, Затова, ако и да сте построили къщи от дялани камъни, Няма да живеете в тях, Ако и да сте насадили приятни лозя, Няма да пиете виното им.
12 Защото зная колко много са вашите престъпления И колко великански са греховете на вас, Които угнетявате праведния, приемате подкупи, И извращате правото на сиромасите в портата;
13 По която причина разумният млъква в такова време; Защото е зло време.
14 Потърсете доброто, а не злото, за да живеете; Така Господ, Бог на Силите, ще бъде с вас, както речете.
15 Мразете злото, обичайте доброто, И установявайте правосъдие в портата; Може би Господ, Бог на Силите, да се смили за останалите от Йосифа.
16 За това, така казва Иеова, Бог на Силите, Господ: Ридание ще има по всичките площади, И по всичките улици ще казват - Горко! горко! Ще повикат земеделеца на жалеене, И изкусните оплаквателки на ридание;
17 И по всичките лозя ще има ридание, Защото аз ще замина посред тебе, казва Господ.
18 Горко на ония, които желаят денят Господен! За какво ви е той? Денят Господен е тъмнина, а не виделина.
19 Както, ако бягаше човек от лъв, И го срещнеше мечка, Или, като влезеше къщи, опреше ръката си о стената, И змия го хапеше,
20 Така не ще ли бъде денят Господен - тъмнина, а не виделина? Дори мрак, без никаква светлина?
21 Мразя, презирам празнуванията ви, И няма да благоволя в тържествените ви събрания.
22 Даже ако ми принесете всеизгарянията и жертвите си, Няма да ги приема, Нито ще погледна към примирителните ви жертви от угоени животни.
23 Отмахни от мене метежа на песните си, Защото не ща да слушам свирнята на псалтирите ти;
24 Но нека тече правосъдието като вода, И правдата като поток, който не пресъхва.
25 Доме Израилев, на мене ли принасяхте жертви и приноси Четиридесет години в пустинята?
26 Напротив, носехте царя си Сикут И Хиун, идолите си, Звездата на вашите богове, които си направихте.
27 За това, ще ви закарам в плен оттатък Дамаск, Казва Господ, чието име е Бог на Силите.

Seek Me That You May Live
5 Hear this word which I take up for you as a funeral (A)lament, O house of Israel:
2 She has fallen; she will (B)not rise again—
The (C)virgin Israel.
She lies abandoned on her land;
There is (D)none to raise her up.
3 For thus says Lord Yahweh,
“The city which goes forth one thousand strong
Will have one (E)hundred left,
And the one which goes forth one hundred strong
Will have (F)ten left to the house of Israel.”
4 For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel,
“(G)Seek Me (H)that you may live.
5 But do not seek (I)Bethel,
And do not come to (J)Gilgal,
Nor cross over to (K)Beersheba;
For Gilgal will certainly go into [a]exile,
And Bethel will become [b]evil.
6 (L)Seek Yahweh that you may live,
Lest He come mightily like a (M)fire, [c]O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
7 For those who overturn (N)justice into wormwood
And put righteousness down to the earth.”
8 He who made the (O)Pleiades and Orion
And (P)overturns the shadow of death into morning,
[d]Who also (Q)darkens day into night,
Who (R)calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the surface of the earth,
(S)Yahweh is His name.
9 It is He who (T)flashes forth with devastation upon the strong
So that (U)devastation comes upon the fortification.
10 They hate him who (V)reproves in the [e]gate,
And they (W)abhor him who speaks with integrity.
11 Therefore because you [f]impose heavy rent on the poor
And take a tribute of grain from them,
Though you have built (X)houses of cut stone,
Yet you will not live in them;
You have planted desirable vineyards, yet you will (Y)not drink their wine.
12 For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are mighty,
You who (Z)distress the righteous and take bribes
And [g]turn aside the needy in the [h]gate.
13 Therefore at [i]such a time the one with insight (AA)keeps silent, for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good and not evil, in order that you may live;
And thus may Yahweh God of hosts be with you,
(AB)Just as you have said!
15 (AC)Hate evil, love good,
And set justice at the [j]gate!
Perhaps Yahweh God of hosts
(AD)May be gracious to the (AE)remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore thus says Yahweh God of hosts, the Lord,
“There is (AF)wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the (AG)farmer to mourning
And [k](AH)professional weepers to wailing.
17 And in all the (AI)vineyards there is wailing
Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says Yahweh.
18 Woe, you who are longing for the (AJ)day of Yahweh,
For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?
It will be (AK)darkness and not light;
19 As when a man (AL)flees from a lion
And a bear meets him;
[l]Or he goes home, leans his hand against the wall,
And a snake bites him.
20 Will not the day of Yahweh be (AM)darkness instead of light,
Even thick darkness with no brightness in it?
21 “I hate, I (AN)reject your feasts,
Nor do I [m](AO)delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 Even though you (AP)offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
And I will not even look at the (AQ)peace offerings of your fatlings.
23 Remove from Me the tumult of your songs;
I will not even listen to the melody of your harps.
24 But let (AR)justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 “[n](AS)Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? 26 (AT)You also carried along [o]Sikkuth your king and [p]Kiyyun, your images, [q]the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. 27 Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts.

King James Version
5 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
