Āmoos 5

meray paas laut aao!

1ai israaeelee qaum, meree baat suno, tumhaaray baaray men meray noha par dhyaan do!

2“kunvaaree israaeel gir gaee hai aur aainda kabhee naheen uthegee. usay us kee apnee zameen par patakh diya gaya hai, aur koee usay dubaara khada naheen karega.”

3rabb qaadir-ay-mutlaq farmaata hai, “israaeel kay jis shaher say 1,000 mard ladnay kay liyay nikalengay us kay sirf 100 afraad vaapas aaengay. aur jis shaher say 100 nikalengay, us kay sirf 10 mard vaapas aaengay.” 4kyoonki rabb israaeelee qaum say farmaata hai, “mujhay talaash karo to tum jeetay rahogay. 5na bait-el kay taalib ho, na jiljaal kay paas jaao, aur na bair-saba kay liyay ravaana ho jaao! kyoonki jiljaal kay baashinday yaqeenan jilaavatan ho jaaengay, aur bait-el nest-o-naabood ho jaaega.”

6rabb ko talaash karo to tum jeetay rahogay. varna vah aag kee tarah yoosuf kay gharaanay men say guzar kar bait-el ko bhasm karega, aur usay koee naheen bujha sakega.

har taraf naainsaafee

7un par afsos jo insaaf ko ulat kar zaher men badal detay, jo raastee ko zameen par patakh detay hain!

8allaah saat saheliyon kay jhumkay aur jauzay ka khaaliq hai. andheray ko vah subah kee raushnee men aur din ko raat men badal deta hai. jo samundar kay paanee ko bula kar roo-ay-zameen par undel deta hai us ka naam rabb hai! 9achaanak hee vah zoraavaron par aafat laata hai, aur us kay kahenay par qil’aaband shaher tabaah ho jaata hai.

10tum us say nafrat kartay ho jo adaalat men insaaf karay, tumhen us say ghin aatee hai jo sachch bolay. 11tum ghareebon ko kuchal kar un kay anaaj par hadd say ziyaada taiks lagaatay ho. is liyay go tum nay taraashay huay pattharon say shaandaar ghar banaaay hain to bhee un men naheen rahogay, go tum nay angoor kay phaltay phooltay baagh lagaaay hain to bhee un kee mai say mahezooz naheen hogay. 12main to tumhaaray mut’addid jaraaim aur sangeen gunaahon say khoob vaaqif hoon. tum raastbaazon par zulm kartay aur rishvat lay kar ghareebon ko adaalat men insaaf say maheroom rakhtay ho. 13is liyay samajhdaar shakhs is vaqt khaamosh raheta hai, vaqt itna hee bura hai.

14buraaee ko talaash na karo balki achchhaaee ko, tab hee jeetay rahogay. tab hee tumhaara daava durust hoga ki rabb jo lashkaron ka khuda hai hamaaray saath hai. 15buraaee say nafrat karo aur jo kuchh achchha hai usay piyaar karo. adaalaton men insaaf qaaim rakho, shaayad rabb jo lashkaron ka khuda hai yoosuf kay bachay khachay hissay par rahem karay.

16chunaanchay rabb jo lashkaron ka khuda aur hamaara aaqa hai farmaata hai, “tamaam chaukon men aah-o-buka hogee, tamaam galiyon men log ‘haay, haay’ karengay. kheteebaadee karnay vaalon ko bhee bulaaya jaaega taaki peshaavaraana taur par sog manaanay vaalon kay saath girya-o-zaaree karen. 17angoor kay tamaam baaghon men vaavaila machega, kyoonki main khud tumhaaray darmiyaan say guzaroonga.” yah rabb ka farmaan hai.

rabb ka din haulnaak hai

18un par afsos jo kahetay hain, “kaash rabb ka din a jaaay!” tumhaaray liyay rabb kay din ka kya faaida hoga? vah to tumhaaray liyay raushnee ka naheen balki taareekee ka baais hoga. 19tab tum us aadmee kee maanind hogay jo sherbabar say bhaag kar reechh say tukda jaata hai. jab ghar men panaah lay kar haath say deevaar ka sahaara leta hai to saamp usay das leta hai. 20haan, rabb ka din tumhaaray liyay raushnee ka naheen balki taareekee ka baais hoga. aisa andhera hoga ki ummeed kee kiran tak nazar naheen aaegee.

21rabb farmaata hai, “mujhay tumhaaray mazhabee tahevaaron say nafrat hai, main unhen haqeer jaanta hoon. tumhaaray ijatimaaon say mujhay ghin aatee hai. 22jo bhasm honay vaalee aur ghalla kee qurbaaniyaan tum mujhay pesh kartay ho unhen main pasand naheen karta, jo motay-taazay bail tum mujhay salaamatee kee qurbaanee kay taur par chadhaatay ho un par main nazar bhee naheen daalna chaahata. 23dafa karo apnay geeton ka shor! main tumhaaray sitaaron kee mooseeqee sunna naheen chaahata. 24in cheezon kee bajaay insaaf ka chashma phoot niklay aur raastee kee kabhee band na honay vaalee naher bah niklay.

25ai israaeel kay gharaanay, jab tum registaan men ghoomtay phirtay thay to kya tum nay un 40 saalon kay dauraan kabhee mujhay zabah aur ghalla kee qurbaaniyaan pesh keen? 26naheen, us vaqt bhee tum apnay baadshaah sakkoot devta aur apnay sitaaray keevaan devta ko uthaaay phirtay thay, go tum nay apnay haathon say yah but apnay liyay bana liyay thay. 27is liyay rabb jis ka naam lashkaron ka khuda hai farmaata hai ki main tumhen jilaavatan karkay damishq kay paar basa doonga.”
