Amos 2
1 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Moaba, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer kosti edomskoga kralja spališe u vapno,
2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
pustit ću oganj na Moab da dvorce kerijotske sažeže, a Moab će umrijet u metežu, s bojnom grajom i sa zvukom trube;
3 and I will cut off the judge from among them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
oborit ću suca u njemu i poklati sve knezove s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
4 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Judina, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odbaciše Zakon Jahvin i njegovih se odredaba ne držahu; zavedoše ih lažni bozi za kojima iđahu očevi njihovi,
5 but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
pustit ću oganj na Judu, da sažeže dvorce jeruzalemske.”
6 The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Izraela, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer prodavahu pravednika za srebro i nevoljnika za sandale;
7 They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
jer gaze po glavi siromahu i sirotinju na zlo vode; sin i otac k istoj djevojci idu da oskvrnu moje sveto ime;
8 They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
i na haljinama u zalog uzetima leže kraj svakoga žrtvenika; i piju vino oglobljenih u Domu Boga svojega.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Ja pred njima istrijebih Amorejce visoke k'o cedar, jake poput hrašća, ja uništih i plod na njima i korijen pod njima.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske i četrdeset vas godina vodih po pustinji da zaposjednete zemlju amorejsku.
11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is not this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
Ja podigoh proroke izmeđ' vaših sinova i nazirejce među vašim mladićima. Nije li tako, sinovi Izraelovi? - riječ je Jahvina.
12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’
Al' vi nagnaste nazirejce da vino piju, a prorocima zapovjediste: 'Ne prorokujte!'
13 Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
Gle, ja vas prignječujem o tlo pod vama, k'o što vršalice gnječe klasje;
14 Flight will perish from the swift. The strong will not strengthen his force. The mighty will not deliver himself.
neće biti bijega brzu, jaka neće učvrstiti snaga, junak se neće spasiti,
15 He who handles the bow will not stand. He who is swift of foot will not escape. He who rides the horse will not deliver himself.
strijelac se neće održati, hitri trkač pobjeć' neće, nit' će jahač umaći,
16 He who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
najsrčaniji će ratnici bježat' nagi onog dana” - riječ je Jahvina.
