Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Moába in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker je kosti edómskega kralja sežgal v žganem apnu.
2 But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.

Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Juda in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni; ker so prezirali Gospodovo postavo in se niso držali njegovih zapovedi in njihove laži so jim povzročile, da se motijo, za katerimi so hodili njihovi očetje.
5 And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.

6 Thus says the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Izraela in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so pravičnega prodajali za srebro in revnega za par čevljev,
7 wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have struck upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
ki koprnijo po zemeljskem prahu na glavi revnega in zavijajo pot krotkega. Moški in njegov oče bosta šla noter k isti deklici, da oskrunita moje sveto ime.
8 And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
Ob vsakem oltarju legajo na oblačila, položena za jamstvo in pijejo vino obsojenih v hiši svojega boga.
9 Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.
Privedel sem vas tudi iz egiptovske dežele in vas štirideset let vodil skozi divjino, da vzamete v last deželo Amoréjca.
11 And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, you sons of Israel? says the Lord.
Izmed vaših sinov sem dvignil preroke in izmed vaših mladeničev nazirce. Mar ni to celo tako, oh vi Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod.
12 But you gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and you commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
»Toda nazircem ste dajali piti vino in prerokom zapovedovali, rekoč: ›Ne prerokujte.‹
13 Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.

14 And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
Zato bo pred naglim izginil umik in močni ne bo okrepil svoje moči niti mogočni sebe ne bo osvobodil
15 and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
niti ne bo stal tisti, ki prijema lok in kdor je naglih stopal sebe ne bo osvobodil niti kdor jaha konja sebe ne bo osvobodil.
16 And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, says the Lord.
In kdor je pogumen med mogočnimi, bo na ta dan nag pobegnil proč, « govori Gospod.
