Amos 4
1 Počujte ovu riječ, krave bašanske, što boravite na samarijskoj gori, tlačite potrebite, ugnjetavate siromahe, govorite muževima: “Donesi da pijemo!”
Listen to this word, you fat cows that are on the mountain of Samaria, you who make false accusations against the destitute and crush the poor, who say to your nobles, “Bring, and we will drink.”
2 Zakle se Jahve Gospod svetošću svojom: “Dolaze vam, evo, dani kad će vas izvlačiti kukama, a posljednju od vas ostima.
The Lord God has sworn in his holiness: behold, the days that will overcome you and that will impale you on poles, and that will place what remains of you in boiling pots.
3 Kroz pukotine ćete izlaziti, ne obziruć' se nikamo, i biti bačene prema Hermonu” - riječ je Jahvina.
And you will go out through the breaches, one over another, and you will be cast out into Harmon, says the Lord.
4 “Idite samo u Betel i griješite, u Gilgal i množite grijehe svoje! Prinosite svakog jutra žrtve, i desetine svaki treći dan.
Come to Bethel and behave impiously, to Gilgal and increase betrayals. And bring daybreak to your victims, your tithes in three days.
5 Palite tijesto uskislo na žrtvu zahvalnicu, oglasite žrtve dragovoljne, razglasite ih, jer to volite, sinovi Izraelovi” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven. And call for voluntary oblations, and announce it. For such is your will, sons of Israel, says the Lord God.
6 “Zato dadoh da vam zubi čisti ostanu u svim gradovima vašim, ostavih vas bez kruha u svim selima vašim; pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
Therefore, because of this, I have given you dull teeth in every one of your cities, and a lack of bread in all your places. And you have not been turned back towards me, says the Lord.
7 “Uskratih vam i kišu tri mjeseca prije žetve; pustih da kiši na jedan grad, al' ne i na drugi; jedno bi se polje nakvasilo, a drugo bi se - na koje ne pustih kiše - sasušilo.
Therefore, I have withheld the rains from you, when there were still three months left until the harvest. And I rained on one city, and I did not rain on another city; one part was rained on, and the part on which I did not rain, dried out.
8 Dva-tri grada lutahu tako u treći da piju vode, ali se ne mogoše napiti, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
And two and three cities went to one city, in order to drink water, and they were not satisfied. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.
9 “Udarah vas snijeću i medljikom, sasuših vam vrtove i vinograde, proždriješe vam skakavci smokve i masline, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I struck you with a burning wind and with yellowing; the caterpillar has consumed your many gardens and your vineyards, your olive groves and your fig groves. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.
10 “Poslah na vas kugu poput kuge egipatske; mladiće vaše poklah mačem, a konji vam bjehu k'o plijen odvedeni; napunih vam nosnice smradom iz tabora vašega, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I sent death to you by way of Egypt; I struck your youths with the sword, even bringing captivity to your horses. And I made the stench of your camp ascend into your nostrils. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.
11 “Obarah vas k'o što Bog obori Sodomu i Gomoru, bijaste k'o glavnja iz ognja istrgnuta, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I overturned you, just as God overturned Sodom and Gomorrah, and you became like an ember seized from the fire. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.
12 “Stog ću, Izraele, ovako s tobom postupiti, i jer ću tako s tobom postupiti, pripravi se, Izraele, da susretneš Boga svoga!”
Because of this, I will do these things to you, Israel. But after I have done these things to you, Israel, be prepared to meet your God.
13 Jer, gle, on sazda planine i stvori vjetar, otkriva čovjeku misao svoju, on tvori zoru i mrak, i penje se na vrh visova zemaljskih, Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, njegovo je ime.
For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind and announces his speech to man, who makes the morning mist and steps over the heights of the earth: the Lord God of hosts is his name.
