Amos 2
1 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Moab, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has burned the bones of the king of Idumea, all the way to ashes.
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 And I will send a fire onto Moab, and it will devour the buildings of Kerioth. And Moab will die with a noise, with the blare of a trumpet.
Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Moáb in ta bo požrl palače Kerijóta, in Moáb bo umrl s hrupom, z vpitjem in z zvokom šofarja.
3 And I will destroy the judge in their midst, and I will execute all his leaders with him, says the Lord.
Iztrebil bom sodnika iz njegove srede in z njim bom ubil vse njegove prince, « govori Gospod.
4 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Judah, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has rejected the law of the Lord and has not kept his commandments. For their idols, which their fathers followed, have deceived them.
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 onto Judah, and it will devour the buildings of Jerusalem.
Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Juda in ta bo požrl jeruzalemske palače.«
6 Thus says the Lord: For three wicked deeds of Israel, and for four, I will not convert him, in so far as he has sold the just for silver and the poor for shoes.
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 They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth, and they divert the way of the humble. And the son, as well as his father, have gone to the same girl, so that they outrage my holy name.
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 they have lain on garments taken in pledge next to every altar. And they drank the wine of the damned in the house of their God.
Ob vsakem oltarju legajo na oblačila, položena za jamstvo in pijejo vino obsojenih v hiši svojega boga.
9 Yet I exterminated the Amorites before their face, whose height was like the height of cedars, and whose strength was like the oak. And I crushed his fruit from above and his roots below.
Čeprav sem pred njimi uničil Amoréjca, katerega višina je bila podobna višini ceder in je bil močan kakor hrasti, vendar sem uničil njegov sad od zgoraj in njegove korenine od spodaj.
10 It is I who caused you to ascend from the land of Egypt, and I led you in the wilderness for forty years, so that you might possess the land of the Amorite.
Privedel sem vas tudi iz egiptovske dežele in vas štirideset let vodil skozi divjino, da vzamete v last deželo Amoréjca.
11 And I stirred up prophets from your sons, and Nazirites from your young men. Is it not so, 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 Yet you would offer wine to the Nazirites, and you would command the prophets, saying: “Do not prophesy.”
»Toda nazircem ste dajali piti vino in prerokom zapovedovali, rekoč: ›Ne prerokujte.‹
13 Behold, I will creak under you, just as a wagon creaks that is laden with hay.
Glejte, stlačen sem pod vami, kakor je stlačen voz, ki je poln snopov.
14 And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not maintain his strength, and the healthy will 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 one holding the bow will not stand firm, and the swift of foot will not be saved, and the rider on the horse will 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 stout of heart among the strong will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
In kdor je pogumen med mogočnimi, bo na ta dan nag pobegnil proč, « govori Gospod.
