ଆମୋଷ 5:4-15

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

5 But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el 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 Beth-el.

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.

4 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହାହିଁ କୁହନ୍ତି: ଆସ, ଆମ୍ଭର ଅନୁସନ୍ଧାନ କର ଏବଂ ବଞ୍ଚ।
For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

5 ମାତ୍ର ବୈଥଲକୁ ଖାଜେ ନାହିଁ। ଗିଲ୍ଗଲକୁ ୟାଅ ନାହିଁ। ସୀମା ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରି ବେର୍ଶବୋକୁ ୟାଅ ନାହିଁ। ଗିଲ୍ଗଲ୍ର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀରୂପେ ନିଆୟିବ ଏବଂ ବୈଥଲ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହବେ।
But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.

6 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଅନ୍ବଷେଣ କର ଓ ବଞ୍ଚି ରୁହ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ନ ୟିବ ତାହା ହେଲେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଅଗ୍ନି ସଞ୍ଚାର ହବେ ଏବଂ ସହେି ଅଗ୍ନି ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେ ଗୃହକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିବ ଏବଂ କୌଣସି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ବୈଥଲ ରେ ସେ ଅଗ୍ନିକୁ ଲିଭାଇ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
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 Beth-el.

7 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କୃତ୍ତିକାକାର ଓ ମୃଗଶୀର୍ଷ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କଲେ। ସେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରକୁ ପ୍ରଭାତ ଆଲୋକରେ ପରିଣତ କଲେ।
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

8 ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଦିନକୁ ରାତ୍ରି ରେ ପରିଣତ କଲେ। ସେ ସାଗର ଜଳକୁ ଆହ୍ବାନ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ପୃଥିବୀ ଉପ ରେ ଢାଳନ୍ତି।
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 ତାଙ୍କର ନାମ ଯିହାବୋଃ। ସେ କୌଣସି ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ନଗରକୁ ବା ଦୁର୍ଗକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି।
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

10 ସହରର ଫାଟକରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତବକ୍ତା ଦ୍ବାରା ଉଚ୍ଛନ୍ନ ହବୋକୁ ଘୃଣା କର। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସଚ୍ଚୋଟ ବାକ୍ଯକୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଘୃଣା କର।
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

11 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦରିଦ୍ରମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଅସାଧୁ ଉପାଯ ରେ କର ନେଉଅଛ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଗହମ ବଳପୂର୍ବକ ନେଉଅଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କାରୁକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ପଥର ରେ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଘର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିଛ, କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସହେି ଘ ରେ ରହିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଗଛ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ଲଗାଇଛ କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପାନ କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ।
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 ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅନକେ ଜଘନ୍ଯ ପାପ ଜାଣୁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କଷ୍ଟ ଦଲେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲାଞ୍ଚ ନଇେଛ ଏବଂ ଦରିଦ୍ର ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ନ୍ଯାଯଳଯ ରେ ଅନ୍ଯାଯ ଆଚରଣ କରିଅଛ।
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 ସେତବେେଳେ ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିମାନେ ନୀରବ ରହିବେ କାରଣ ସମୟ ଅତି ମନ୍ଦ ଅଟେ।
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

14 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କୁହ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଉତ୍ତମ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କର। ମନ୍ଦଠାରୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ରୁହ। ତାହା ହେଲେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହବର୍ତ୍ତା ହବେେ।
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 ମନ୍ଦକୁ ଘୃଣା କର, ଭଲକୁ ଆଦର କର। ନ୍ଯାଯ ବିଗ୍ଭର କର। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ହୁଏତ ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟାଂଶ ପରିବାର ପ୍ରତି କୃପାମଯ ହାଇପୋରନ୍ତି।
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.
