Vēstījums Moābam
1 Tā saka Kungs:
“Trīs grēki Moābam vai četri, es neatlaidīšu –
par to, ka viņš Edoma ķēniņa kaulus
sadedzināja kaļķos!
2 Es uzsūtīšu uguni Moābam,
un tā aprīs Kerījotas nocietinājumus,
un Moābs mirs kara troksnī –
aurēšanā un raga skaņās!
3 Es iznīdēšu turienes soģus,
visus augstmaņus es nokaušu kopā ar viņu!”
saka Kungs.
Vēstījums Jūdai
4 Tā saka Kungs:
“Trīs grēki Jūdai vai četri, es neatlaidīšu –
jo tie atmeta Kunga bauslību,
viņa likumus neturēja,
viņus pavedināja tie dievekļi,
kuriem staigāja pakaļ jau viņu tēvi!
5 Es uzsūtīšu uguni Jūdai,
un tā aprīs Jeruzālemes nocietinājumus!”
Vēstījums Israēlam
6 Tā saka Kungs:
“Trīs grēki Israēlam vai četri, es neatlaidīšu –
jo taisno viņi par sudrabu pārdod
un nabagu par sandaļu pāri!
7 Nabagu tie zemē pīšļos iemin,
apspiesto nostumj pie malas,
dēls un tēvs iet pie vienas meitas –
apgāna manu svēto vārdu!
8 Drēbēs, ko apķīlājuši,
tie gulstas pie katra altāra
un par netaisni pelnītu naudu
pērk vīnu un dzer sava Dieva namā!
9 Kaut es viņu priekšā iznīcināju amoriešus,
kas ciedru augumā bija, stipri kā ozoli bija, –
es tos iznīcināju no augšas, kur augļi,
un no apakšas, kur saknes!
10 Un es ņēmu jūs no Ēģiptes zemes,
vedu pa tuksnesi četrdesmit gadus,
lai jūs iemantotu amoriešu zemi,
11 un jūsu dēlus es iecēlu par praviešiem
un jūsu jaunekļus par nazīriešiem! –
vai tā nebija, Israēla dēli?! –
saka Kungs.
12 Bet jūs nazīriešus apdzirdījāt ar vīnu
un praviešiem pavēlējāt: nepravietojiet!
13 Redzi, es jūs nospiedīšu
kā apgāzti rati, kas pilni salmu!
14 Veiklais vairs neaizbēgs,
un stiprais vairs negūsies spēka,
varenais pats nepaglābsies,
15 un loka šāvējs pretī nenostāvēs,
un tas, kam veiklas kājas, neaizbēgs,
un jātnieks savu dzīvību neglābs,
16 un tas, kam no varoņiem dūšīga sirds,
pliks bēgs tajā dienā,”
saka Kungs.
1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: 2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet: 3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
4 ¶ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: 5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 ¶ Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; 7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name: 8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9 ¶ Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. 14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: 15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself. 16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
