Amos 7
1 परमेश्वर यहोवा ने मुझे यह दिखाया, और मैं क्या देखता हूं कि उसने पिछली घास के उगने के आरम्भ मे टिड्डियां उत्पन्न की; और वह राजा की कटनी के बाद की पिछली घास थीं।
2 जब वे घास खा चुकीं, तब मैं ने कहा, हे परमेश्वर यहोवा, क्षमा कर! नहीं तो याकूब कैसे स्थिर रह सकेगा? वह कितना निर्बल है!
3 इसके विषय में यहोवा पछताया, और उस से कहा, ऐसी बात अब न होगी॥
4 परमेश्वर यहोवा ने मुझे यह दिखाया: और क्या देखता हूं कि परमेश्वर यहोवा ने आग के द्वारा मुकद्दमा लड़ने को पुकारा, और उस आग से महासागर सूख गया, और देश भी भस्म हुआ चाहता था।
5 तब मैं ने कहा, हे परमेश्वर यहोवा, थम जा! नहीं तो याकूब कैसे स्थिर रह सकेगा? वह कैसा निर्बल है।
6 इसके विषय में भी यहोवा पछताया; और परमेश्वर यहोवा ने कहा, ऐसी बात फिर न होगी॥
7 उसने मुझे यह भी दिखाया: मैं ने देखा कि प्रभु साहुल लगाकर बनाईं हुई किसी भीत पर खड़ा है, और उसके हाथ में साहुल है।
8 और यहोवा ने मुझ से कहा, हे आमोस, तुझे क्या देख पड़ता है? मैं ने कहा, एक साहुल। तब परमेश्वर ने कहा, देख, मैं अपनी प्रजा इस्राएल के बीच में साहुल लगाऊंगा।
9 मैं अब उन को न छोडूंगा। इसहाक के ऊंचे स्थान उजाड़, और इस्राएल के पवित्र स्थान सुनसान हो जाएंगे, और मैं यारोबाम के घराने पर तलवार खींचे हुए चढ़ाई करूंगा॥
10 तब बेतेल के याजक अमस्याह ने इस्राएल के राजा यारोबाम के पास कहला भेजा, कि, आमोस ने इस्राएल के घराने के बीच में तुझ से राजद्रोह की गोष्ठी की है; उसके सारे वचनों को देश नहीं सह सकता।
11 क्योंकि आमोस यों कहता है, कि, यारोबाम तलवार से मारा जाएगा, और इस्राएल अपनी भूमि पर से निश्चय बंघुआई में जाएगा॥
12 और अमस्याह ने आमोस से कहा, हे दर्शी, यहां से निकल कर यहूदा देश में भाग जा, और वहीं रोटी खाया कर, और वहीं भविष्यद्वाणी किया कर;
13 परन्तु बेतेल में फिर कभी भविष्यद्वाणी न करना, क्योंकि यह राजा का पवित्र स्थान और राज-नगर है।
14 आमोस ने उत्तर देकर अमस्याह से कहा, मैं ने तो भविष्यद्वक्ता था, और न भविष्यद्वक्ता का बेटा; मैं तो गाय-बैल का चरवाहा, और गूलर के वृक्षों का छांटनेहारा था,
15 और यहोवा ने मुझे भेड़-बकरियों के पीछे पीछे फिरने से बुला कर कहा, जा, मेरी प्रजा इस्राएल से भविष्यद्वाणी कर।
16 इसलिये अब तू यहोवा का वचन सुन, तू कहता है कि इस्राएल के विरुद्ध भविष्यद्वाणी मत कर; और इसहाक के घराने के विरुद्ध बार बार वचन मत सुना।
17 इस कारण यहोवा यों कहता है, तेरी स्त्री नगर में वेश्या हो जाएगी, और तेरे बेटे-बेटियां तलवार से मारी जाएंगी, और तेरी भूमि डोरी डाल कर बांट ली जाएगीं; और तू आप अशुद्ध देश में मरेगा, और इस्राएल अपनी भूमि पर से निश्चय बंधआई में जाएगा॥
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
10 And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
15 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
