< Amos 2 >

1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Moábovu, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že spálil kosti krále Idumejského na vápno.
2 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
Ale pošli oheň na Moába, kterýžto zžíře paláce Kariot, i umře s hlukem Moáb, s křikem a s hlasem trouby.
3 [and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
A vypléním soudce jeho, i všecka knížata jeho zmorduji s ním, praví Hospodin.
4 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Judovu, ovšem pro čtveru neslituji se nad ním, proto že oni pohrdají zákonem Hospodinovým, a ustanovení jeho neostříhají, a svodí se lžmi svými, jichž následovali otcové jejich.
5 So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
Ale pošli oheň na Judu, kterýžto zžíře paláce Jeruzalémské.
6 Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Izraelovu, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že prodávají spravedlivého za peníze, a nuzného za pár střevíců.
7 [It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
Kteříž dychtí, aby chudé s prstí smísili, a cestu tichých převracejí; nadto syn i otec vcházejí k jedné a též mladici, aby poškvrnili jména svatosti mé.
8 [When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
A na oděvu zastaveném klanějí se při každém oltáři, a víno pokutovaných pijí v domě bohů svých,
9 [Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
Ješto jsem já vyhladil Amorejského od tváři jejich, jehož vysokost byla jako vysokost cedrů. Ačkoli pevně stál jako dub, však jsem zkazil svrchu ovoce jeho, pospodu pak kořeny jeho.
10 I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
A vás já jsem vyvedl z země Egyptské, a vyvedl jsem vás po poušti čtyřidceti let, abyste dědičně vládli zemí Amorejského.
11 I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
A vzbuzoval jsem z synů vašich proroky, a z mládenců vašich Nazarejské. Zdaliž není tak, ó synové Izraelští? praví Hospodin.
12 But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
Ale vy jste napájeli Nazarejské vínem, a prorokům jste zapovídali, řkouce: Neprorokujte.
13 So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
Aj, já tlačiti budu zemi vaši tak, jako vůz těžký tlačí snopy.
14 [Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
I zahyne utíkání od rychlého, silný též neužive síly své, a udatný nevysvobodí života svého.
15 [Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
A ten, kterýž se chápá lučiště, neostojí, a čerstvý na nohy své neuteče, a ten, kterýž jezdí na koni, nevysvobodí života svého.
16 [Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Ale i zmužilého srdce mezi nejudatnějšími nahý utíkati bude v ten den, praví Hospodin.
