Amos 7
1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me; and behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, [it was] the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Tako mi je Gospod Bog pokazal in glej, oblikoval je kobilice v začetku poganjanja otave in glej, to je bila otava po kraljevih košnjah.
2 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
Pripetilo se je, ko so končale z objedanjem trave dežele, da sem nato rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, odpusti, rotim te. Po kom bo Jakob vstal? Kajti majhen je.«
3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
Gospod se je zaradi tega pokesal. »To ne bo, « govori Gospod.
4 Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
Tako mi je Gospod Bog pokazal in glej, Gospod Bog je klical k pričkanju z ognjem in ta je požrl veliko globino in pojedel del.
5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
Potem sem rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, odnehaj, rotim te. Po kom bo Jakob vstal? Kajti majhen je.«
6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
Gospod se je zaradi tega pokesal: »Tudi to se ne bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog.
7 Thus he showed me: and behold, the LORD stood upon a wall [made] by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.
Zato mi je pokazal in glej, Gospod je stal na zidu, narejenem s svinčnico, s svinčnico v svoji roki.
8 And the LORD said to me, Amos, what seest thou? and I said, A plumb-line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
Gospod mi je rekel: »Amos, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Svinčnico.« Potem je Gospod rekel: »Glej, postavil bom svinčnico v sredo svojega ljudstva Izraela. Ne bom več ponovno šel mimo njega
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
in Izakovi visoki kraji bodo zapuščeni in Izraelova svetišča bodo opustošena in z mečem se bom dvignil zoper Jerobeámovo hišo.«
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
Potem je Amacjá, duhovnik iz Betela, poslal k Jerobeámu, Izraelovemu kralju, rekoč: »Amos se je zarotil zoper tebe v sredi Izraelove hiše. Dežela ni zmožna prenesti vseh njegovih besed.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
Kajti tako govori Amos: ›Jerobeám bo umrl pod mečem in Izrael bo zagotovo iz svoje lastne dežele odveden v ujetništvo.‹«
12 Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Amacjá je prav tako rekel Amosu: »Oh ti videc, pojdi, pobegni proč v Judovo deželo in tam jej kruh in tam prerokuj,
13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it [is] the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.
toda ne prerokuj ponovno pri Betelu, kajti to je kraljeva kapela in to je kraljevi dvor.«
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:
Potem je Amos odgovoril in rekel Amacjáju: »Jaz nisem bil nikakršen prerok niti nisem bil prerokov sin, temveč sem bil črednik in obiralec sadu egiptovske smokve
15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
in Gospod me je vzel, medtem ko sem sledil tropu in Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi, prerokuj mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word] against the house of Isaac.
Zdaj torej poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Praviš: ›Ne prerokuj zoper Izrael in ne kapljaj svoje besede zoper Izakovo hišo.‹
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go from his land into captivity.
Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Tvoja žena bo pocestnica v mestu in tvoji sinovi in tvoje hčere bodo padli pod mečem in tvoja dežela bo razdeljena z vrvico, ti pa boš umrl v oskrunjeni deželi, in Izrael bo zagotovo odšel v ujetništvo, iz svoje dežele.‹«
