Amos 3
1 Listen to this message, Israelites, which the Lord has spoken against you, against the whole nation that I brought out of Egypt:
Èujte rijeè koju govori Gospod za vas, sinovi Izrailjevi, za sve pleme koje sam izveo iz zemlje Misirske, govoreæi:
2 You alone have I cared for of all the nations of the world, this is why I will punish you for your crimes.
Samo vas poznah izmeðu svijeh plemena zemaljskih, zato æu vas pohoditi za sva bezakonja vaša.
3 Do two walk together unless they agreed to meet?
Hoæe li dvojica iæi zajedno, ako se ne sastanu?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when there is no prey for him? Does a young lion cry out in his den unless he has caught something?
Hoæe li riknuti lav u šumi, ako nema lova? hoæe li laviæ pustiti glas svoj iz peæine svoje, ako ne uhvati što?
5 Does a bird swoop down into a trap if no bait is set for it? Does a trap spring up from the ground if nothing sets it off?
Hoæe li ptica pasti u mrežu na zemlju, ako nema zamke? hoæe li se dignuti mreža sa zemlje, ako se ništa ne uhvati?
6 Can a trumpet be blown in a city and the people not tremble? Can disaster strike a city and the Lord not have caused it?
Hoæe li truba trubiti po gradu, a narod da ne dotrèi uplašen? hoæe li biti nesreæa u gradu, a Gospod da je ne uèini?
7 Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his purpose to his servants the prophets.
Jer Gospod Gospod ne èini ništa ne otkrivši tajne svoje slugama svojim prorocima.
8 The lion has roared; who does not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who will not prophesy?
Kad lav rikne, ko se neæe bojati? kad Gospod reèe, ko neæe prorokovati?
9 Proclaim over the palaces in Ashdod, and over the palaces in the land of Egypt: Gather upon the mountain of Samaria, and see the violent turmoil, the acts of oppression in her midst.
Oglasite po dvorovima Azotskim i po dvorovima u zemlji Misirskoj, i recite: skupite se na gore Samarijske i vidite velike nerede u njoj i nasilje u njoj.
10 For they do not know how to do right. They are heaping up violence and oppression in their palaces, says the Lord.
Ne znaju èiniti pravo, govori Gospod, sabiraju blago nasiljem i grabežem u dvorima svojim.
11 Therefore the Lord God says: An enemy will surround the land, he will strip your strength from you. and your palaces will be looted.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: neprijatelj je oko zemlje i oboriæe ti silu tvoju, i oplijeniæe se dvorovi tvoji.
12 The Lord says: Just as a shepherd rescues from the jaws of a lion two shinbones or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites living in Sameria will be rescued – with the corner of a couch, and the damask of a divan!
Ovako veli Gospod: kao kad pastir istrgne iz usta lavu dvije golijeni ili kraj od uha, tako æe se istrgnuti sinovi Izrailjevi koji sjede u Samariji na uglu od odra i nakraj postelje.
13 Listen and testify against the house of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of hosts.
Èujte i zasvjedoèite u domu Jakovljevu, govori Gospod Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
14 On the day when I punish Israel for their crimes, I will also visit in judgment the altars of Bethel, the horns of the altar will be hacked off, and they will fall to the ground.
Kad pohodim Izrailja za grijehe njegove, tada æu pohoditi i oltare Vetiljske, i odbiæe se rogovi oltaru i pašæe na zemlju.
15 I will destroy the winter houses together with the summer houses and the houses of ivory will perish. Many great houses will be swept away, says the Lord.
I udariæu kuæu zimnu i ljetnu kuæu, i propašæe kuæe od slonove kosti, i nestaæe velikih kuæa, govori Gospod.
