Amos 9

1 Vidjeh Gospoda gdje stoji kraj žrtvenika i govori: “Udari u glavice stupova, neka se pragovi zatresu! Svima ću satrti glave, što ostane, pod mač ću udariti. Nijedan neće uteći, nitko se neće spasiti.

I saw the LORD standing on the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.

2 Zariju li se i u Podzemlje, iščupat će ih ruka moja. Popnu li se i na nebo, odande ću ih skinuti. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into hell, there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, there will I bring them down: (Sheol h7585)

3 Ako se sakriju i navrh Karmela, naći ću ih i pohvatati. Ako se od mog pogleda na dno morsko skriju, zapovjedit ću Zmaju da ih proždre.

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

4 Ako i u izgnanstvo odu pred neprijateljem, naredit ću maču da ih sasiječe; upravit ću oči na njih, ali na nesreću, ne na dobro.”

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

5 Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama... on dodirne zemlju i ona se potrese, svi joj stanovnici protuže; diže se sva poput Nila i spušta k'o Rijeka egipatska.

And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

6 On sazda sebi prijesto na nebesima, i svod svoj na zemlji osnova; on poziva morske vode i lijeva ih zemlji preko lica - Jahve mu je ime.

It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

7 “Sinovi Izraelovi, niste li za me kao i Kušani” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ne izvedoh li ja Izraela iz zemlje egipatske, kao Filistejce iz Kaftora i Aramejce iz Kira?”

Are you not as children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Gle, oči Jahve Gospoda uprte su na grešno kraljevstvo, izbrisat će ga s lica zemlje. “Ipak neću sasvim zatrti dom Jakovljev” - riječ je Jahvina.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.

9 “Jer, gle, zapovijed ću dati i rastresti dom Izraelov među sve narode, k'o što se trese žito u rešetu, da ni zrnce na zemlju ne padne.

For, see, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall on the earth.

10 Svi grešnici naroda moga od mača će pasti, svi koji kažu: 'Nije blizu i neće nas stići nesreća.'”

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 “U dan ću onaj podići raspalu kolibu Davidovu, zatvorit' joj pukotine, popraviti mjesta ruševna, opet je sazidati k'o u stara vremena,

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12 da osvoje ostatak Edoma i svih naroda nad kojima je zazvano ime moje” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda, tvorca svega toga.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.

13 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će orač stizat' žeteoca, mastilac grožđa sijača, kad će planine procuriti mladim vinom i svi se bregovi prelijevati njime.

Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 Okrenut ću sudbinu naroda moga Izraela: obnovit će gradove srušene i živjeti u njima, saditi vinograde i vino im piti, zasaditi vrtove i jesti njihov rod.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 Posadit ću ih u zemlju njihovu i nikad se više neće iščupati iz zemlje koju im dadoh” - veli Jahve, Bog tvoj.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
