ஓசியா 4
1 இஸ்ரவேல் புத்திரரே, கர்த்தருடைய வார்த்தையைக் கேளுங்கள்; தேசத்துக்குடிகளோடே கர்த்தருக்கு வழக்கு இருக்கிறது; அதேனென்றால் தேசத்திலே உண்மையும் இல்லை, இரக்கமும் இல்லை; தேவனைப்பற்றிய அறிவும் இல்லை.
2 பொய்யாணையிட்டு, பொய்சொல்லி, கொலைசெய்து, திருடி, விபசாரம்பண்ணி, மிஞ்சி மிஞ்சிப்போகிறார்கள்; இரத்தப்பழிகளோடே இரத்தப்பழிகள் சேருகிறது.
3 இதினிமித்தம் தேசம் புலம்பும்; அதில் குடியிருக்கிற அனைவரோடுங்கூட மிருகஜீவன்களும் ஆகாயத்துப் பறவைகளும் தொய்ந்துபோகும்; கடலின் மச்சங்களும் வாரிக்கொள்ளப்படும்.
4 ஆகிலும் ஒருவனும் நியாயத்தைக்காண்பிக்கவும், ஒருவனும் அவர்களைக் கடிந்துகொள்ளவும் கூடாது; உன் ஜனங்கள் ஆசாரியனோடே வழக்காடுகிறவர்களைப்போல இருக்கிறார்கள்.
5 ஆகையால் நீ பகலிலே இடறிவிழுவாய்; இரவிலே உன்னோடேகூடத் தீர்க்கதரிசியும் இடறிவிழுவான்; உன் தாயை நான் சங்காரம்பண்ணுவேன்.
6 என் ஜனங்கள் அறிவில்லாமையினால் சங்காரமாகிறார்கள்; நீ அறிவை வெறுத்தாய் ஆகையால் நீ என் ஆசாரியனாதபடிக்கு நானும் உன்னை வெறுத்துவிடுவேன்; நீ உன் தேவனுடைய வேதத்தை மறந்தாய், ஆகையால் நானும் உன் பிள்ளைகளை மறந்துவிடுவேன்.
7 அவர்கள் எவ்வளவாய்ப் பெருகினார்களோ, அவ்வளவாய் எனக்கு விரோதமாய்ப் பாவஞ்செய்தார்கள்; அவர்களுடைய மகிமையை இலச்சையாக மாறப்பண்ணுவேன்.
8 அவர்கள் என் ஜனத்தின் பாவத்தைத் தின்று, அவர்களுடைய அக்கிரமத்தின்பேரில் பசிதாகமாயிருக்கிறார்கள்.
9 ஆதலால் ஜனங்களுக்கு எப்படியோ ஆசாரியனுக்கும் அப்படியே; அவர்கள் வழிகளின்படி நான் அவர்களை விசாரித்து, அவர்கள் கிரியைகளின்படி அவர்களுக்குப் பலனளிப்பேன்.
10 அவர்கள் கர்த்தரை மதியாமலிருக்கிறபடியினால் அவர்கள் தின்றாலும் திருப்தியடையாதிருப்பார்கள்; அவர்கள் வேசித்தனம்பண்ணினாலும் பலுகாதிருப்பார்கள்.
11 வேசித்தனமும் திராட்சரசமும் மதுபானமும் இருதயத்தை மயக்கும்.
12 என் ஜனங்கள் கட்டையினிடத்தில் ஆலோசனை கேட்கிறார்கள்; அவர்களுடைய கோல் அவர்களுக்குச் செய்தியை அறிவிக்குமென்றிருக்கிறார்கள்; வேசித்தன ஆவி அவர்களை வழிதப்பித் திரியப்பண்ணிற்று; அவர்கள் தங்கள் தேவனுக்குக் கீழ்ப்பட்டிராமல் சோரமார்க்கம் போனார்கள்.
13 அவர்கள் மலையுச்சியில் பலியிட்டு, மேடுகளிலே கர்வாலிமரங்களின் கீழும், புன்னைமரங்களின் கீழும், அரசமரங்களின் கீழும், அவைகளின் நிழல் நல்லதென்று, தூபங்காட்டுகிறார்கள்; இதினிமித்தம் உங்கள் குமாரத்திகள் வேசித்தனமும், உங்கள் மருமக்கள்மார் விபசாரமும் செய்கிறார்கள்.
14 உங்கள் குமாரத்திகள் வேசித்தனம் செய்கிறதினிமித்தமும், உங்கள் மருமக்கள்மார் விபசாரம் செய்கிறதினிமித்தமும், நான் அவர்களைத் தண்டியாமலிருப்பேனோ? அவர்கள் விலகி வேசிகளோடே கூடப்போய்த் தாசிகளோடே பலியிடுகிறார்கள்; உணர்வில்லாத ஜனங்கள் அதினால் சிக்குண்டு விழுவார்கள்.
1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
Amos 3 in Tamil and English
1 ఐగుప్తుదేశమునుండి యెహోవా రప్పించిన ఇశ్రా యేలీయులారా, మిమ్మునుగూర్చియు ఆయన రప్పించిన కుటుంబమువారినందరినిగూర్చియు ఆయన సెలవిచ్చిన మాట ఆలకించుడి.
Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 అదేమనగా భూమిమీది సకల వంశములలోను మిమ్మును మాత్రమే నేను ఎరిగియున్నాను గనుక మీరు చేసిన దోషక్రియలన్నిటినిబట్టి మిమ్మును శిక్షింతును.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 సమ్మతింపకుండ ఇద్దరు కూడి నడుతురా?ఎర దొరకక సింహము అడవిలో గర్జించునా?
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
4 ఏమియు పట్టు కొనకుండనే కొదమ సింహము గుహలోనుండి బొబ్బ పెట్టునా?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 భూమిమీద ఒకడును ఎరపెట్టకుండ పక్షి ఉరిలో చిక్కుపడునా? ఏమియు పట్టుబడకుండ ఉరి పెట్టువాడు వదలిలేచునా?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
6 పట్టణమందు బాకానాదము వినబడగా జనులకు భయము పుట్టకుండునా? యెహోవా చేయనిది పట్టణములో ఉపద్రవము కలుగునా?
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
7 తన సేవకులైన ప్రవక్తలకు తాను సంకల్పించినదానిని బయలు పరచకుండ ప్రభువైన యెహోవా యేమియు చేయడు.
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 సింహము గర్జించెను, భయపడనివాడెవడు? ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చియున్నాడు, ప్రవచింపకుండువా డెవడు?
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
9 అష్డోదు నగరులలో ప్రకటనచేయుడి, ఐగుప్తుదేశపు నగరులలో ప్రకటనచేయుడి; ఎట్లనగా--మీరు షోమ్రోను నకు ఎదురుగానున్న పర్వతములమీదికి కూడివచ్చి అందులో జరుగుచున్న గొప్ప అల్లరి చూడుడి; అందులో జనులు పడుచున్న బాధ కనుగొనుడి.
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
10 వారు నీతి క్రియలు చేయ తెలియక తమ నగరులలో బలాత్కారము చేతను దోపుడుచేతను సొమ్ము సమకూర్చుకొందురు.
For they know not to do right, saith the Lord, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 కాబట్టి ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగా శత్రువు వచ్చును, అతడు దేశమంతట సంచరించి నీ ప్రభావమును కొట్టివేయగా నీ నగరులు పాడగును.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
12 యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగాగొల్లవాడు సింహము నోటనుండి రెండు కాళ్లనైనను చెవి ముక్కనైనను విడిపించు నట్లుగా షోమ్రోనులో మంచములమీదను బుట్టాలువేసిన శయ్యలమీదను కూర్చుండు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు రక్షింప బడుదురు.
Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
13 ప్రభువును దేవుడును సైన్యములకధిపతియు నగు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగా--నా మాట ఆల కించి యాకోబు ఇంటివారికి దానిని రూఢిగా తెలియ జేయుడి.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 ఇశ్రాయేలువారు చేసిన దోషములనుబట్టి నేను వారిని శిక్షించు దినమున బేతేలులోని బలిపీఠములను నేను శిక్షింతును; ఆ బలిపీఠపు కొమ్ములు తెగవేయబడి నేలరాలును.
That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 చలికాలపు నగరును వేసవికాలపు నగరును నేను పడగొట్టెదను, దంతపు నగరులును లయమగును, బహు నగరులు పాడగును; ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.
