Amos 1
1 Riječi Amosa, pastira iz Tekoe. Njegova viđenja o Izraelu u doba judejskoga kralja Uzije i Jeroboama, sina Joaša, izraelskoga kralja, dvije godine prije potresa.
Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
2 Veli on: “Jahve grmi sa Siona, iz Jeruzalema glas mu se ori; stočarski pašnjaci tuže i suši se vrh Karmela.”
and he says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
3 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Damaska, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer su vrhli Gilead cijepom željeznim,
And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
4 pustit ću oganj na dom Hazaelov da sažeže Ben-Hadadove dvorce;
And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
5 polomit ću zasune Damaska, istrijebiti živalj Bikat Avena i žezlonošu iz Bet Edena; narod će aramski u ropstvo u Kir,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
6 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Gaze, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odvedoše sve u izgnanstvo i Edomu predadoše,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
7 pustit ću oganj na zidine Gaze da dvorce joj sažeže.
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
8 Istrijebit ću žitelje ašdodske i žezlonošu iz Aškelona. Pružit ću ruku na Ekron da ostatak filistejski pogine,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
9 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Tira, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer predade sve izgnanike Edomu i nisu se sjetili bratskog saveza,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
10 pustit ću oganj na zidove Tira da sažeže njihove dvorce.”
And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
11 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Edoma, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer gonjaše brata mačem prigušujuć' samilost svoju, jer gnjev svoj potpirivaše jednako, jer poticaše bijes svoj,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
12 pustit ću oganj na Teman da sažeže dvorce u Bosri.”
And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
13 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Amonovih sinova, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer parahu trudnice gileadske da rašire granice svoje,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
14 potpalit ću oganj na zidinama Rabe da dvorce joj sažeže, s bojnom grajom u dan rata, s burama u dan vihora,
And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
15 a kralj će im otić' u izgnanstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
