Amos 2
1 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Moába in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker je kosti edómskega kralja sežgal v žganem apnu.
2 but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Moáb in ta bo požrl palače Kerijóta, in Moáb bo umrl s hrupom, z vpitjem in z zvokom šofarja.
3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
Iztrebil bom sodnika iz njegove srede in z njim bom ubil vse njegove prince, « govori Gospod.
4 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Juda in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni; ker so prezirali Gospodovo postavo in se niso držali njegovih zapovedi in njihove laži so jim povzročile, da se motijo, za katerimi so hodili njihovi očetje.
5 but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Juda in ta bo požrl jeruzalemske palače.«
6 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes:
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Izraela in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so pravičnega prodajali za srebro in revnega za par čevljev,
7 that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
ki koprnijo po zemeljskem prahu na glavi revnega in zavijajo pot krotkega. Moški in njegov oče bosta šla noter k isti deklici, da oskrunita moje sveto ime.
8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.
Ob vsakem oltarju legajo na oblačila, položena za jamstvo in pijejo vino obsojenih v hiši svojega boga.
9 Yet destroyed I 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.
Čeprav sem pred njimi uničil Amoréjca, katerega višina je bila podobna višini ceder in je bil močan kakor hrasti, vendar sem uničil njegov sad od zgoraj in njegove korenine od spodaj.
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.
Privedel sem vas tudi iz egiptovske dežele in vas štirideset let vodil skozi divjino, da vzamete v last deželo Amoréjca.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Izmed vaših sinov sem dvignil preroke in izmed vaših mladeničev nazirce. Mar ni to celo tako, oh vi Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod.
12 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
»Toda nazircem ste dajali piti vino in prerokom zapovedovali, rekoč: ›Ne prerokujte.‹
13 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
Glejte, stlačen sem pod vami, kakor je stlačen voz, ki je poln snopov.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Zato bo pred naglim izginil umik in močni ne bo okrepil svoje moči niti mogočni sebe ne bo osvobodil
15 neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself:
niti ne bo stal tisti, ki prijema lok in kdor je naglih stopal sebe ne bo osvobodil niti kdor jaha konja sebe ne bo osvobodil.
16 and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
In kdor je pogumen med mogočnimi, bo na ta dan nag pobegnil proč, « govori Gospod.
