Amos 4
1 You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”
Чујте ову реч, краве васанске, које сте у гори самаријској, које криво чините убогима и сатирете сиромахе, које говорите господарима својим: Донесите да пијемо.
2 But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
Закле се Господ Господ светошћу својом да ће вам ево доћи дани, те ће вас извлачити кукама, и остатак ваш удицама рибарским.
3 [Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
И кроз проломе ћете изаћи, свака на према се, и побацаћете шта буде у дворовима, говори Господ.
4 Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
Идите у Ветиљ, и чините безакоње, у Галгалу множите безакоње своје, и приносите свако јутро жртве своје, треће године десетке своје;
5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
И палите жртву захвалну од хлеба киселог, и огласите жртве драговољне и разгласите, јер вам је тако мило, синови Израиљеви, говори Господ Господ.
6 I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
И зато вам ја дадох да су вам чисти зуби по свим градовима вашим и да нема хлеба нигде по свим местима вашим; али се не обратисте к мени, говори Господ.
7 When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.
А ја вам устегох дажд, кад још три месеца беху до жетве, и пустих дажд на један град, а на други град не пустих дажда, један се крај накваси, а други крај, на који не дажде, посуши се.
8 People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Тако два и три града иђаху у један град да пију воде, и не могаху се напити; ипак се не обратисте к мени, говори Господ.
9 I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Бих вас сушом и медљиком; гусенице изједоше обиље у вртовима вашим и у виноградима вашим и на смоквама вашим и на маслинама вашим; ипак се не обратисте к мени, говори Господ.
10 I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
Послах у вас помор као у Мисир, побих мачем младиће ваше и одведох коње ваше, и учиних те се подизаше смрад из логора вашег и у ноздрве ваше; ипак се не обратисте к мени, говори Господ.
11 I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Затирах вас као што Господ затре Содом и Гомор, и бејасте као главња истргнута из огња; ипак се не обратисте к мени, говори Господ.
12 So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
Зато ћу ти тако учинити, Израиљу; и што ћу ти тако учинити, приправи се, Израиљу, да сретнеш Бога свог.
13 I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Јер ето Оног који је сазидао горе и који је створио ветар и јавља човеку шта мисли, чини од зоре таму, и ходи по висинама земаљским; име Му је Господ Бог над војскама.
