Amos 8
1 Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
Ovo mi pokaza Gospod: gle, kotarica ljetnoga voæa.
2 He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
I reèe: što vidiš, Amose? A ja rekoh: kotaricu ljetnoga voæa. A Gospod mi reèe: doðe kraj narodu mojemu Izrailju, neæu ga više prolaziti.
3 The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
I pjesme æe crkvene biti ridanje u onaj dan, govori Gospod; biæe mnoštvo mrtvijeh tjelesa, koja æe se svuda pobacati muèeæi.
4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
Èujte ovo, koji proždirete uboge i satirete siromahe u zemlji,
5 saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
Govoreæi: kad æe proæi mladina da prodajemo žito? i subota da otvorimo pšenicu? umaljujuæi efu i poveæavajuæi sikal i varajuæi lažnijem mjerilima;
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
Da kupujemo siromahe za novce i ubogoga za jedne opanke, i da prodajemo oèinke od pšenice.
7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Zakle se Gospod slavom Jakovljevom: neæu nigda zaboraviti nijednoga djela njihova.
8 Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
Neæe li se zemlja potresti od toga, i protužiti svaki koji živi na njoj? i neæe li se sva razliti kao rijeka? i neæe li se odnijeti i potopiti kao od rijeke Misirske?
9 It will happen in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
I u onaj dan, govori Gospod Gospod, uèiniæu da sunce zaðe u podne, i pomraèiæu zemlju za bijela dana.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
I pretvoriæu praznike vaše u žalost i sve pjesme vaše u plaè, i metnuæu kostrijet oko svijeh bedara, i uèiniæu da svaka glava oæelavi i da bude žalost kao za jedincem, i kraj æe joj biti kao gorak dan.
11 Behold, the days come,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing Yahweh’s words.
Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod Gospod, kad æu pustiti glad na zemlju, ne glad hljeba ni žeð vode, nego slušanja rijeèi Gospodnjih.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek Yahweh’s word, and will not find it.
I potucaæe se od mora do mora, i od sjevera do istoka trèaæe tražeæi rijeè Gospodnju, i neæe je naæi.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
U to æe vrijeme obamirati lijepe djevojke i mladiæi od žeði,
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
Koji se kunu krivicom Samarijskom i govore: tako da je živ Bog tvoj, Dane, i tako da je živ put u Virsaveju. I pašæe, i neæe više ustati.
