Amos 9

1 Videl sem Gospoda stati na oltarju in rekel je: »Udari vratno preklado, da se bodo podboji lahko tresli, in ureži jih na glavi, vse izmed njih in jaz bom zadnje izmed njih ubil z mečem in kdor izmed njih beži, ne bo pobegnil proč in kdor se izmed njih umika, ne bo osvobojen.

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of them shall not be delivered.

2 Čeprav kopljejo v pekel, jih bo moja roka vzela od tam. Čeprav plezajo gor do nebes, jih bom od tam privedel dol. (Sheol h7585)

Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Čeprav se skrijejo na vrhu Karmela, jih poiščem in vzamem od tam. Čeprav so skriti pred mojim pogledom na dnu morja, bom tam zapovedal kači in ta jih bo pičila.

And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite them.

4 Čeprav gredo v ujetništvo pred svojimi sovražniki, bom tja poslal meč in ta jih bo ubil in svoje oči bom naravnal nanje za zlo in ne za dobro.«

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 Gospod Bog nad bojevniki je tisti, ki se dotika dežele in ta se bo stopila in vsi, ki prebivajo v njej, bodo žalovali. In ta se bo vzdignila v celoti kakor poplava in potopljena bo kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.

And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt.

6 On je tisti, ki gradi svoja nadstropja v nebesih in je utemeljil svoje krdelo na zemlji. On, ki kliče za morskimi vodami in jih izliva na obličje zemlje. Gospod je njegovo ime.

He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name.

7 » Ali mi niste kakor otroci Etiopijcev, oh Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod: »Mar nisem jaz Izraela privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele? In Filistejce iz Kaftorja in Sirce iz Kira?

Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of Cyrene?

8 Glejte, oči Gospoda Boga so nad grešnim kraljestvom in uničil ga bom izpred obličja zemlje; le, da ne bom popolnoma uničil Jakobove hiše, « govori Gospod.

Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 »Kajti glejte, zapovedal bom in Izraelovo hišo bom presejal med vse narode, kakor je žito presejano na situ, vendar niti najmanjše zrno ne bo padlo na zemljo.

For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sieve: and there shall not a little stone fall to the ground.

10 Vsi grešniki mojega ljudstva bodo umrli pod mečem, ki pravijo: ›Zlo nas ne bo dohitelo niti nas ne bo srečalo.‹

All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us.

11 Na tisti dan bom vzdignil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in zaprl njegove vrzeli. In vzdignil bom njegove ruševine in zgradil ga bom kakor v dneh davnine,

In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old.

12 da bodo lahko vzeli v last preostanek Edóma in vseh poganov, ki so imenovani z mojim imenom, « govori Gospod, ki to dela.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these things.

13 »Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod, »ko bo orač prehitel žanjca in tlačitelj grozdja tistega, ki seje seme, in gore bodo kapljale sladko vino in vsi hribi se bodo topili.

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.

14 Ponovno bom privedel ujetništvo svojega ljudstva Izraela in zgradili bodo opustošena mesta in jih poselili, in sadili bodo vinograde in pili njihovo vino; prav tako bodo naredili vrtove in jedli njihov sad.

And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

15 Jaz jih bom zasadil na njihovi deželi in ne bodo več potegnjeni iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal, « govori Gospod, tvoj Bog.

And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
