Amos 4
1 »Poslušajte to besedo, ve bašánske krave, ki ste na samarijski gori, ki stiskate uboge, ki drobite pomoči potrebne, ki svojim gospodarjem pravite: ›Prinesite in naj pijemo.‹
Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink.
2 Gospod Bog je prisegel pri svoji svetosti, da, glejte, nad vas bodo prišli dnevi, ko vas bo odvedel proč s kavlji in vaše potomstvo s trnki.

3 Šle boste ven pri vrzelih, vsaka krava pri tisti, ki je pred njo, in vrgle jih boste v palačo, « govori Gospod.
And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord.
4 »Prihajate v Betel in grešite, pri Gilgálu množite prestopek in vsako jutro prinašajte svoje klavne daritve in svoje desetine po treh letih
Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in three days.
5 in darujte žrtev zahvaljevanja s kvasom in razglašajte in objavljajte prostovoljne daritve, kajti to vam je všeč, oh vi, Izraelovi otroci, « govori Gospod Bog.
And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
6 »In tudi jaz sem vam dal čistost zob po vseh vaših mestih in pomanjkanje kruha po vseh vaših krajih. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned to me, saith the Lord.
7 »In tudi jaz sem zadržal dež pred vami, ko je bilo še tri mesece do žetve in mu dal, da dežuje nad enim mestom in dal, da ne dežuje nad drugim mestom. Na en kos je deževalo, kos pa, na katerega ni deževalo, se je posušil.
I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the piece whereupon I rained not, withered.
8 Tako so dva ali tri mesta tavala k enemu mestu, da pijejo vodo, toda niso bila nasičena. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
And two and three cities went to one city to drink water, and were not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
9 »Udaril sem vas s kvarjenjem in plesnijo. Ko so se množili vaši vrtovi in vaši vinogradi in vaša figova drevesa in vaše oljke, jih je požrla kosmata gosenica. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I struck you with a burning wind, and with mildew, the palmerworm hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive groves, and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
10 »Med vas sem poslal kužno bolezen po načinu iz Egipta. Vaše mladeniče sem umoril z mečem in vaše konje odvedel proč in storil sem, da se smrad vaših taborov vzdigne do vaših nosnic, vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I sent death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew your young men with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made the stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
11 »Uničil sem nekatere izmed vas, kakor je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro in ste bili kakor kos tlečega lesa, izvlečenega iz gorenja, vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
12 »Zato ti bom tako storil, oh Izrael in ker ti bom to storil, se pripravi, da srečaš svojega Boga, oh Izrael.
Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel: and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 Kajti glej, tisti ki oblikuje gore in ustvarja veter in razglaša človeku, kaj je njegova misel, ki dela jutranjo temo in mendra na visokih krajih zemlje. Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, je njegovo ime.«
For behold he that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning mist, and walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts is his name.
