Amos 4
1 Give ear to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the hill of Samaria, by whom the poor are kept down, and those in need are crushed; who say to their lords, Get out the wine and give us drink.
Èujte ovu rijeè, krave Vasanske, koje ste u gori Samarijskoj, koje krivo èinite ubogima i satirete siromahe, koje govorite gospodarima svojim: donesite da pijemo.
2 The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.
Zakle se Gospod Gospod svetošæu svojom da æe vam evo doæi dani, te æe vas izvlaèiti kukama, i ostatak vaš udicama ribarskim.
3 And you will go out through the broken places, every one going straight before her, and you will be sent into Harmon, says the Lord.
I kroz prolome æete ižljesti, svaka na prema se, i pobacaæete što bude u dvorovima, govori Gospod.
4 Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
Idite u Vetilj, i èinite bezakonje, u Galgalu množite bezakonje svoje, i prinosite svako jutro žrtve svoje, treæe godine desetke svoje;
5 Let that which is leavened be burned as a praise-offering, let the news of your free offerings be given out publicly; for this is pleasing to you, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
I palite žrtvu zahvalnu od hljeba kiseloga, i oglasite žrtve dragovoljne i razglasite, jer vam je tako milo, sinovi Izrailjevi, govori Gospod Gospod.
6 But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
I zato vam ja dadoh da su vam èisti zubi po svijem gradovima vašim i da nema hljeba nigdje po svijem mjestima vašim; ali se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
7 And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
A ja vam ustegoh dažd, kad još tri mjeseca bijahu do žetve, i pustih dažd na jedan grad, a na drugi grad ne pustih dažda, jedan se kraj nakvasi, a drugi kraj, na koji ne daždje, posuši se.
8 So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
Tako dva i tri grada iðahu u jedan grad da piju vode, i ne mogahu se napiti; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
9 I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
Bih vas sušom i medljikom; gusjenice izjedoše obilje u vrtovima vašim i u vinogradima vašim i na smokvama vašim i na maslinama vašim; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
10 I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
Poslah u vas pomor kao u Misir, pobih maèem mladiæe vaše i odvedoh konje vaše, i uèinih te se podizaše smrad iz okola vašega i u nozdrve vaše; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
11 And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
Zatirah vas kao što Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor, i bijaste kao glavnja istrgnuta iz ognja; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
12 So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
Zato æu ti tako uèiniti, Izrailju; i što æu ti tako uèiniti, pripravi se, Izrailju, da sreteš Boga svojega.
13 For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
Jer eto onoga koji je sazdao gore i koji je stvorio vjetar i javlja èovjeku što misli, èini od zore tamu, i hodi po visinama zemaljskim; ime mu je Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
