Amos 5
1 Počujte ovu riječ što je iznosim protiv vas, naricaljku, dome Izraelov:
Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
2 Pade i više neće ustati djevica izraelska. Na tlu svojem ona leži, nikog da je digne.
The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
3 Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod domu Izraelovu: u gradu iz kojeg izlažaše tisuća, ostat će stotina, iz kojeg izlažaše stotina, ostat će ih deset.
For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
4 Jer ovako govori Jahve domu Izraelovu: “Tražite i živjet ćete.
For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
5 Ne tražite Betela, ne idite u Gilgal, ne putujte u Beer Šebu, jer će Gilgal bit odveden u izgnanstvo, a Betel će se prometnuti u ništa.
But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
6 Tražite Jahvu i živjet ćete, il' će ko' oganj zahvatiti kuću Josipovu i sažeć' je, a u Betelu nikog da plamen ugasi.”
Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7 Jao onima koji pravdu pretvaraju u pelin, u prah bacaju poštenje!
They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
8 On napravi Vlašiće i Štapce, on obrće mrak u zoru, a dan u najglušu noć. On saziva morske vode i valja ih preko lica zemlje. Jahve mu je ime.
He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
9 Nenadano šalje pustoš na tvrđavu i utvrdi propast nosi.
He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
10 Mrze čovjeka što na vratima pravdu dijeli i grde onog što zbori pošteno.
They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
11 Stoga, jer gazite siromaha, dižući od njega porez u žitu - u kućama što ih sazdaste od tesanika nikad živjet' nećete; iz ljupkih vinograda što ih posadiste nikad nećete piti vina.
Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
12 Jer znam mnoge vaše zločine, i vaše grijehe pregoleme: tlačite pravednika i primate mito, odbijajuć' siromaha na gradskim vratima.
For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
13 Mudrac šuti u ovo vrijeme, jer vremena su tako zla.
Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
14 Tražite dobro, a ne zlo, da biste živjeli, i da Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, odista s vama bude kao što velite da jest.
Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
15 Mrzite zlo, ljubite dobro, držite pravicu na gradskim vratima, pa će se možda Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, smilovat' ostatku Josipovu.
Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
16 Stog ovako govori Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, Gospod: “Na svakom će trgu biti kuknjava, po svim će ulicama zapomagati: 'Jao! Jao!' Težake će sazvat' da jauču, narikače da nariču,
Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
17 bit će jauk u svakom vinogradu, jer ću proći posred tebe” - veli Jahve.
And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
18 “Jao vama što žudite za danom Jahvinim! Što će vam biti dan Jahvin? Tama, a ne svjetlost.
Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
19 Bit će vam k'o onom što uteče lavljim raljama, a sretne ga medvjed; koji uđe u kuću i stavi ruku na zid, a ujede ga zmija.
As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Neće li dan Jahvin biti tama, a ne svjetlost? Mrklina, a ne sunčan sjaj?
Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
21 Mrzim i prezirem vaše blagdane i nisu mi mile vaše svečanosti.
I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
22 Paljenice kad mi prinosite, prinosnice mi vaše nisu mile, na pričesnice se od ugojenih telaca vaših i ne osvrćem.
Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
23 Uklonite od mene dreku svojih pjesama, neću da slušam zvuke vaših harfa.
Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
24 Pravda nek' poteče kao voda i pravica k'o bujica silna.
And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
25 Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinos u pustinji četrdeset godina, dome Izraelov?
Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
26 Nosit ćete Sikuta, svoga kralja, i Kevana, boga svoga, likove što ih sebi napraviste,
But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
27 dok vas budem odvodio onkraj Damaska,” govori Jahve - Bog nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
