Amos 5
1 You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
Počujte ovu riječ što je iznosim protiv vas, naricaljku, dome Izraelov:
2 “You are like [MET] a young woman, but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down and you will never get up again! You will lie on the ground, abandoned, and there will be no one to help you stand up.”
Pade i više neće ustati djevica izraelska. Na tlu svojem ona leži, nikog da je digne.
3 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to the people [MTY] of Israel: [“When your enemies attack you, ] and when 1,000 [of your soldiers] will go [to a battle], there will be only 100 who will survive. When 100 soldiers march out [from a city to fight], there will be only ten who will remain alive.”
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod domu Izraelovu: u gradu iz kojeg izlažaše tisuća, ostat će stotina, iz kojeg izlažaše stotina, ostat će ih deset.
4 Yahweh continues to say to the people [MTY] of Israel: “You Israeli people, return to me! If you do that, you will continue to remain alive.
Jer ovako govori Jahve domu Izraelovu: “Tražite i živjet ćete.
5 Do not go to Bethel to seek [my help]; do not go to Gilgal [to worship]; do not [even] go to Beersheba, because [your enemies] will drag away [the people of] Gilgal to other countries, and Bethel will be completely destroyed.”
Ne tražite Betela, ne idite u Gilgal, ne putujte u Beer Šebu, jer će Gilgal bit odveden u izgnanstvo, a Betel će se prometnuti u ništa.
6 So, come to Yahweh; if you do that, you will remain alive. If you do not do that, Yahweh will descend on you descendants [MTY] of Joseph like [SIM] a fire; that fire will burn everything in Bethel, and (nothing/no one) will be able to save that town.
Tražite Jahvu i živjet ćete, il' će ko' oganj zahvatiti kuću Josipovu i sažeć' je, a u Betelu nikog da plamen ugasi.”
7 You people distort what is fair/right and cause [people to think that] it is something that is very bitter; you treat good things as though they are evil.
Jao onima koji pravdu pretvaraju u pelin, u prah bacaju poštenje!
8 [Do you know who] created all the groups of stars and put them in their places? [Each morning] he causes the darkness to become the dawn, and [each evening] he causes the daylight to become darkness. He scoops up water from the oceans [to become clouds], and then he dumps the water [from the clouds] onto the earth. The one who does those things is named Yahweh.
On napravi Vlašiće i Štapce, on obrće mrak u zoru, a dan u najglušu noć. On saziva morske vode i valja ih preko lica zemlje. Jahve mu je ime.
9 He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
Nenadano šalje pustoš na tvrđavu i utvrdi propast nosi.
10 [He is the one who will punish you] because you hate those who challenge anyone who tries to make unjust decisions, and you hate those who tell the truth in your courts.
Mrze čovjeka što na vratima pravdu dijeli i grde onog što zbori pošteno.
11 You oppress poor people and force them to pay big taxes. You have built big stone mansions [for yourselves], but you will not be able to live in them. You have planted vineyards, but there will not be any [grapes for you to harvest to make] wine.
Stoga, jer gazite siromaha, dižući od njega porez u žitu - u kućama što ih sazdaste od tesanika nikad živjet' nećete; iz ljupkih vinograda što ih posadiste nikad nećete piti vina.
12 I know all of your sins and the terrible crimes that you have committed. You oppress righteous/honest people, and you accept bribes. You do not allow judges to treat poor people justly.
Jer znam mnoge vaše zločine, i vaše grijehe pregoleme: tlačite pravednika i primate mito, odbijajuć' siromaha na gradskim vratima.
13 This is a time when [many people do] evil things, so people who have good sense say nothing [when they hear about such things being done].
Mudrac šuti u ovo vrijeme, jer vremena su tako zla.
14 In order to remain alive, you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right. If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you like you claim [that he always is].
Tražite dobro, a ne zlo, da biste živjeli, i da Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, odista s vama bude kao što velite da jest.
15 Love what is good, and hate what is evil! Try to cause [judges] in your courts to make decisions that are right/fair! If you do those things, perhaps the Commander of the armies of angels will act mercifully toward [you descendants of] Joseph who are still alive.
Mrzite zlo, ljubite dobro, držite pravicu na gradskim vratima, pa će se možda Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, smilovat' ostatku Josipovu.
16 “Because I, Yahweh, [will punish you for your sins], this is what I have solemnly declared: People will be wailing loudly in every street, and people will be very sorrowful in every plaza. Farmers will be summoned to [come and] weep, along with the other official mourners who will wail [for those who have died].
Stog ovako govori Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, Gospod: “Na svakom će trgu biti kuknjava, po svim će ulicama zapomagati: 'Jao! Jao!' Težake će sazvat' da jauču, narikače da nariču,
17 People will be wailing in your vineyards, because I will punish you [IDM] severely. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
bit će jauk u svakom vinogradu, jer ću proći posred tebe” - veli Jahve.
18 Terrible things will happen to you who desire that it will soon be the day when Yahweh [will punish your enemies], because that will be a day of darkness, not of light.
“Jao vama što žudite za danom Jahvinim! Što će vam biti dan Jahvin? Tama, a ne svjetlost.
19 [At that time, ] when you try to run from a lion, you will face a bear. When you run into your house [to be safe], and you put your hand on a wall, it will be bitten by a snake.
Bit će vam k'o onom što uteče lavljim raljama, a sretne ga medvjed; koji uđe u kuću i stavi ruku na zid, a ujede ga zmija.
20 That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
Neće li dan Jahvin biti tama, a ne svjetlost? Mrklina, a ne sunčan sjaj?
21 [Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
Mrzim i prezirem vaše blagdane i nisu mi mile vaše svečanosti.
22 Even if you bring me offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings of grain, I will no longer accept them. Even if you bring me offerings to renew/maintain fellowship with me, I will not pay any attention to them.
Paljenice kad mi prinosite, prinosnice mi vaše nisu mile, na pričesnice se od ugojenih telaca vaših i ne osvrćem.
23 So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
Uklonite od mene dreku svojih pjesama, neću da slušam zvuke vaših harfa.
24 Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
Pravda nek' poteče kao voda i pravica k'o bujica silna.
25 You Israeli people [MTY], your [ancestors] wandered through the desert for 40 years; and during that time, they never brought any sacrifices and offerings to me!
Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinos u pustinji četrdeset godina, dome Izraelov?
26 But they carried the two idols that they had made— the idols of Succoth, the god [that they considered to be] their king, and Kaiwan, [the image of the] star [that they worshiped].
Nosit ćete Sikuta, svoga kralja, i Kevana, boga svoga, likove što ih sebi napraviste,
27 Therefore, now I will force you to go to [a country that is] far beyond Damascus! [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it!”
dok vas budem odvodio onkraj Damaska,” govori Jahve - Bog nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
