Amos 9

1 I saw the Lord standing over an altar, and he said: “Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shaken. For there is avarice at the head of them all, and I will execute the very last of them with the sword. There will be no escape for them. They will flee, and he who flees from among them will not be saved.

Videl sem Gospoda stati na oltarju in rekel je: »Udari vratno preklado, da se bodo podboji lahko tresli, in ureži jih na glavi, vse izmed njih in jaz bom zadnje izmed njih ubil z mečem in kdor izmed njih beži, ne bo pobegnil proč in kdor se izmed njih umika, ne bo osvobojen.

2 If they descend even to the underworld, from there my hand will draw them out; and if they ascend even to the sky, from there will I pull them down. (Sheol h7585)

Čeprav kopljejo v pekel, jih bo moja roka vzela od tam. Čeprav plezajo gor do nebes, jih bom od tam privedel dol. (Sheol h7585)

3 And if they were hiding at the top of Carmel, when searching there, I would steal them away, and if they conceal themselves from my eyes in the depths of the sea, I will command the serpent there and he will bite them.

Čeprav se skrijejo na vrhu Karmela, jih poiščem in vzamem od tam. Čeprav so skriti pred mojim pogledom na dnu morja, bom tam zapovedal kači in ta jih bo pičila.

4 And if they go into captivity in the sight of their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. And I will set my eyes over them for harm and not for good.”

Čeprav gredo v ujetništvo pred svojimi sovražniki, bom tja poslal meč in ta jih bo ubil in svoje oči bom naravnal nanje za zlo in ne za dobro.«

5 And the Lord God of hosts, he touches the earth and it will melt. And all who dwell in it will mourn. And everyone will rise up like a river, and will flow away like the river of Egypt.

Gospod Bog nad bojevniki je tisti, ki se dotika dežele in ta se bo stopila in vsi, ki prebivajo v njej, bodo žalovali. In ta se bo vzdignila v celoti kakor poplava in potopljena bo kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.

6 He establishes his ascension into heaven, and he has founded his bundle on the earth. He calls the waters of the ocean, and pours them over the face of the earth. The Lord is his name.

On je tisti, ki gradi svoja nadstropja v nebesih in je utemeljil svoje krdelo na zemlji. On, ki kliče za morskimi vodami in jih izliva na obličje zemlje. Gospod je njegovo ime.

7 Sons of Israel, are you not like the sons of the Ethiopians to me, says the Lord? Did I not cause Israel to rise up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

» Ali mi niste kakor otroci Etiopijcev, oh Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod: »Mar nisem jaz Izraela privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele? In Filistejce iz Kaftorja in Sirce iz Kira?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinning kingdom, and I will wipe it from the face of the earth. Though truly, when destroying, I will not wipe away the house of Jacob, says the Lord.

Glejte, oči Gospoda Boga so nad grešnim kraljestvom in uničil ga bom izpred obličja zemlje; le, da ne bom popolnoma uničil Jakobove hiše, « govori Gospod.

9 For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as wheat is sifted in a sieve. And not even one small stone will fall to the ground.

»Kajti glejte, zapovedal bom in Izraelovo hišo bom presejal med vse narode, kakor je žito presejano na situ, vendar niti najmanjše zrno ne bo padlo na zemljo.

10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword. They say, “Disaster will not come near us, and it will not overcome us.”

Vsi grešniki mojega ljudstva bodo umrli pod mečem, ki pravijo: ›Zlo nas ne bo dohitelo niti nas ne bo srečalo.‹

11 In that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen. And I will repair the breaches in its walls, and I will restore that which collapsed. And I will rebuild it, just as in the days of antiquity,

Na tisti dan bom vzdignil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in zaprl njegove vrzeli. In vzdignil bom njegove ruševine in zgradil ga bom kakor v dneh davnine,

12 so that they may possess the remnant of Idumea and all the nations, for my name has been invoked over them, says the Lord who does this.

da bodo lahko vzeli v last preostanek Edóma in vseh poganov, ki so imenovani z mojim imenom, « govori Gospod, ki to dela.

13 Behold, the days pass, says the Lord, and the plower will overtake the harvester, and the treader of grapes will overtake the sower of seed. And the mountains will drip sweetness, and every hill will be cultivated.

»Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod, »ko bo orač prehitel žanjca in tlačitelj grozdja tistega, ki seje seme, in gore bodo kapljale sladko vino in vsi hribi se bodo topili.

14 And I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel. And they will rebuild the deserted cities and inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards and drink their wine. And they will create gardens and eat their fruits.

Ponovno bom privedel ujetništvo svojega ljudstva Izraela in zgradili bodo opustošena mesta in jih poselili, in sadili bodo vinograde in pili njihovo vino; prav tako bodo naredili vrtove in jedli njihov sad.

15 And I will plant them on their own soil. And I will no longer root them out of their own land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God.

Jaz jih bom zasadil na njihovi deželi in ne bodo več potegnjeni iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal, « govori Gospod, tvoj Bog.
