நாகூம் 3
1 இரத்தப்பழிகளின் நகரத்திற்கு ஐயோ! அது வஞ்சகத்தினாலும் கொடுமையினாலும் நிறைந்திருக்கிறது; கொள்ளை ஓயாமல் நடக்கிறது.
2 சவுக்குகளின் ஓசையும், உருளைகளின் அதிர்ச்சியும், குதிரைகளின் பாய்ச்சலும், இரதங்கள் கடகடவென்று ஓடுகிற சத்தமும்,
3 வீரர் குதிரை ஏறுகிறதும், பட்டயங்கள் துலங்குகிறதும், ஈட்டிகள் மின்னுகிறதும் வெட்டுண்டவர்களின் திரளும், பிரேதங்களின் ஏராளமும் அங்கே உண்டாயிருக்கும்; பிணங்களுக்குத் தொகையில்லை; அவர்கள் பிணங்களில் இடறிவிழுகிறார்கள்.
4 தன் வேசித்தனங்களினால் ஜாதிகளையும் தன் சூனியங்களினால் வம்சங்களையும் விற்கிற மகா சூனியக்காரியும் ரூபவதியுமாயிருக்கிற வேசியினுடைய திரளான வேசித்தனங்களினிமித்தம்,
5 இதோ, நான் உனக்கு விரோதமாக வந்து உன் வஸ்திரத்து ஓரங்களை உன் முகமட்டும் தூக்கியெடுத்து, ஜாதிகளுக்கு உன் நிர்வாணத்தையும் ராஜ்யங்களுக்கு உன் மானத்தையும் தெரியப்பண்ணி,
6 உன்மேல் தீட்டானவைகளை எறிந்து உன்னைக் கனவீனப்படுத்தி, உன்னை வேடிக்கையாக்கிப்போடுவேன் என்று சேனைகளின் கர்த்தர் சொல்லுகிறார்.
7 அப்பொழுது உன்னைக் காண்கிறவனெல்லாம் நினிவே பாழாய்ப்போயிற்று, அதற்காகப் புலம்புகிறவர்கள் யார்? ஆறுதல் சொல்லுகிறவர்களை உனக்கு எங்கே தேடுவேனென்று சொல்லி உன்னைவிட்டோடிப்போவான்.
8 நதிகள் மத்தியிலிருந்த நோ அம்மோனைப்பார்க்கிலும் நீ சிரேஷ்டமோ? அதைச் சுற்றிலும் தண்ணீர் இருந்தது; சமுத்திரம் அதின் அரணும், சமுத்திரக்கால் அதின் மதிலுமாயிருந்தது.
9 எத்தியோப்பியாவும் எகிப்தும் எண்ணிறந்த சேனையால் அதற்குப் பெலனாக இருந்தது; பூத்தும் லுூபீமும் அதற்குச் சகாயமாயிருந்தது.
10 ஆயினும் அவள் குடிவிலக்கப்பட்டுச் சிறையிருப்பிலே கொண்டுபோகப்பட்டாள்; அவள் குழந்தைகள் எல்லா வீதிகளின் முகனைகளிலும் மோதியடிக்கப்பட்டார்கள்; அவளுடைய கனவான்கள்பேரில் சீட்டுப்போட்டார்கள்; அவளுடைய பெரியவர்கள் எல்லாரும் சங்கிலிகளால் கட்டப்பட்டார்கள்.
11 நீயும் வெறிகொண்டு ஒளித்துக்கொள்வாய்; நீயும் உன் சத்துருவுக்குத் தப்ப அரணான கோட்டையைத் தேடுவாய்.
12 உன் அரண்களெல்லாம் முதல்பழுக்கும் பழங்களுள்ள அத்திமரங்களைப்போல இருக்கும்; அவைகள் குலுக்கப்பட்டால் அவைகளின் பழம் தின்கிறவன் வாயிலே விழும்.
13 இதோ, உன் நடுவில் இருக்கிற ஜனங்கள் பேடிகள்; உன் தேசத்தின் வாசல்கள் உன் சத்துருவுக்குமுன் திறவுண்டுபோகும்; அக்கினி உன் தாழ்ப்பாள்களைப் பட்சிக்கும்.
14 முற்றிக்கைக்குத் தண்ணீர்மொண்டு வை, உன் அரண்களைப் பலப்படுத்து; சேற்றிலே போய்க் களிமண் மிதி, சூளையைக் கெட்டிப்படுத்து.
15 அங்கே அக்கினி உன்னைப் பட்சிக்கும், பட்டயம் உன்னைச் சங்கரிக்கும்; அது பச்சைக்கிளிகளைப்போல் உன்னைப் பட்சித்துப்போடும்; உன்னைப் பச்சைக்கிளிகளத்தனையாக்கிக்கொள், உன்னை வெட்டுக்கிளிகளத்தனையாக்கிக்கொள்.
16 உன் வர்த்தகரை வானத்து நட்சத்திரங்களிலும் அதிகமாக்கினாய்; இந்த பச்சைக்கிளிகள் பரவிப் பறந்துபோகும்.
17 உன் மகுடவர்த்தனர் வெட்டுக்கிளிகளுக்கும் உன் தளகர்த்தர் பெருங்கிளிகளுக்கும் சமானமாயிருக்கிறார்கள்; அவைகள் குளிர்ச்சியான நாளில் வேலிகளில் பாளையமிறங்கி, சூரியன் உதித்தமாத்திரத்தில் பறந்துபோம்; பின்பு அவைகள் இருக்கும் இடமின்னதென்று தெரியாது.
18 அசீரியா ராஜாவே, உன் மேய்ப்பர்கள் உறங்குவார்கள்; உன் பிரபலஸ்தர் படுத்திருப்பார்கள்; உன் ஜனங்கள் பர்வதங்களின்மேல் சிதறியிருக்கிறார்கள், அவைகளைக் கூட்டிச் சேர்ப்பவன் இல்லை.
19 உன் நொறுங்குதலுக்குப் பரிகாரம் இல்லை; உன் காரியம் கொடியது; உன் செய்தியைக் கேட்பவர் யாவரும் உன்பேரில் கைகொட்டுவார்கள்; உன் பொல்லாப்பு எந்நேரமும் யார்பேரிலேதான் பாயாமற்போயிற்று?
1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
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.
