Amos 2
1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away [his punishment]: because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Moaba, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer kosti edomskoga kralja spališe u vapno,
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:
pustit ću oganj na Moab da dvorce kerijotske sažeže, a Moab će umrijet u metežu, s bojnom grajom i sa zvukom trube;
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst of it, and will slay all its princes with him, saith the LORD.
oborit ću suca u njemu i poklati sve knezove s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked:
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Judina, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odbaciše Zakon Jahvin i njegovih se odredaba ne držahu; zavedoše ih lažni bozi za kojima iđahu očevi njihovi,
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
pustit ću oganj na Judu, da sažeže dvorce jeruzalemske.”
6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away [their punishment]: because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Izraela, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer prodavahu pravednika za srebro i nevoljnika za sandale;
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in to the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
jer gaze po glavi siromahu i sirotinju na zlo vode; sin i otac k istoj djevojci idu da oskvrnu moje sveto ime;
8 And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of their god.
i na haljinama u zalog uzetima leže kraj svakoga žrtvenika; i piju vino oglobljenih u Domu Boga svojega.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose hight [was] like the hight of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Ja pred njima istrijebih Amorejce visoke k'o cedar, jake poput hrašća, ja uništih i plod na njima i korijen pod njima.
10 Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske i četrdeset vas godina vodih po pustinji da zaposjednete zemlju amorejsku.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Ja podigoh proroke izmeđ' vaših sinova i nazirejce među vašim mladićima. Nije li tako, sinovi Izraelovi? - riječ je Jahvina.
12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Al' vi nagnaste nazirejce da vino piju, a prorocima zapovjediste: 'Ne prorokujte!'
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.
Gle, ja vas prignječujem o tlo pod vama, k'o što vršalice gnječe klasje;
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
neće biti bijega brzu, jaka neće učvrstiti snaga, junak se neće spasiti,
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
strijelac se neće održati, hitri trkač pobjeć' neće, nit' će jahač umaći,
16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
najsrčaniji će ratnici bježat' nagi onog dana” - riječ je Jahvina.
