Amos 9
1 Vidjeh Gospoda, a on stajaše na oltaru, i reèe: udari u gornji prag od vrata da se zatresu dovratnici, i rascijepi ih sve od vrha njihova; a što ostane iza njih pobiæu maèem; neæe uteæi izmeðu njih nijedan, niti æe se koji spasti.
Yahweh [showed me another vision. In the vision, ] I saw him standing next to the altar. He said, “Shake the tops of the pillars [of the temple], until they become loose and fall down, so that even the foundation will shake. Then cause the [pieces of the temple] to fall down on the people [who are inside]. I will kill with a sword anyone who [tries to] flee; no one will escape.
2 Da se zakopaju u najdonji kraj zemlje, odande æe ih uzeti ruka moja; i da izaðu na nebo, odande æu ih skinuti; (Sheol h7585)
If they dig deep pits in the ground, or if they try to climb up to the sky [in order to escape], I will reach out and grab them. (Sheol h7585)
3 I da se sakriju na vrh Karmila, naæi æu ih i uzeæu ih odande; i da se sakriju ispred mojih oèiju na dno morsko, ondje æu zapovjediti zmiji da ih ujede;
If they go to the top of Carmel [Mountain] to escape, I will search for them and seize them. If they [try to] hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the [huge] sea monster to bite them.
4 Da otidu u ropstvo pred neprijateljima svojim, i ondje æu zapovjediti maèu da ih pobije, i obratiæu oèi svoje njima na zlo a ne na dobro.
If their enemies [capture them and] force them to go to other countries, I will command that they be killed there with swords. I am determined [IDM] to get rid of them, not to help them.”
5 Jer Gospod Gospod nad vojskama kad se dotakne zemlje, ona se rastapa i tuže svi koji žive na njoj, i razljeva se sva kao rijeka i potapa se kao od rijeke Misirske.
When the Commander of the armies of angels touches the earth, it melts, and all over the earth [many people die, and the others] mourn for them. [It is as though] Yahweh causes the earth repeatedly to rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] rises and falls.
6 On je sagradio sebi klijeti na nebu i svod svoj osnovao na zemlji; zove vode morske i izljeva ih po zemlji; ime mu je Gospod.
He builds his [beautiful] palace in heaven, and sets/causes the sky to be like a dome over the earth. He scoops up the water from the ocean and [puts it into clouds], and then empties [the clouds] onto the earth. His name is Yahweh.
7 Nijeste li mi, sinovi Izrailjevi, kao sinovi Etiopski? govori Gospod; ne izvedoh li Izrailja iz zemlje Misirske, a Filisteje iz Kaftora i Sirce iz Kira?
And Yahweh says, “You people of Israel, you are certainly [RHQ] [now no more important to me] than the people of Ethiopia. I brought your [ancestors] here from Egypt, but I also brought the people of Philistia from Crete [Island], and I brought the people of Syria from the Kir [region].
8 Gle, oèi su Gospodnje upravljene na ovo grješno carstvo da ga zatrem sa zemlje; ali neæu sasvijem zatrti doma Jakovljeva, govori Gospod.
I [SYN], Yahweh the Lord, have seen that you people in the kingdom [of Israel] are very sinful, so I will (destroy you/wipe you off the earth). But I will not get rid of all you descendants [MTY] of Jacob. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
9 Jer, evo, ja æu zapovjediti i razmetaæu meðu svijem narodima dom Izrailjev kao što se razmeæe žito u rešetu da ni zrno ne padne na zemlju.
When I command it, [it will be as though] I will shake you Israeli people [who are living] in various nations, like [MET] [a farmer] shakes a sieve [to separate] the stone pebbles [from the grain], in order that they do not fall on the ground [with the grain].
10 Od maèa æe poginuti svi grješnici izmeðu mojega naroda, koji govore: neæe doæi, niti æe nas zadesiti zlo.
From among my people, all you sinful people who say, ‘We will not experience disasters; nothing evil will happen to us,’ will be killed by [your enemies’] swords.”
11 U to æu vrijeme podignuti opali šator Davidov, i zatvoriæu mu pukotine, i opraviæu mu što je razvaljeno, i opet æu ga sagraditi kao što je bio prije,
“The kingdom [over which King] David [ruled has been destroyed, like] [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins. But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again. I will cause it to prosper again just like it did previously.
12 Da bi naslijedili ostatak Edomski i sve narode na koje se priziva ime moje, govori Gospod, koji èini ovo.
When that happens, your [armies] will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom [region] again, and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY]. I, Yahweh, have said [that I will do these things], and I will certainly cause them to happen.
13 Evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad æe oraè stizati žeteoca, i koji gazi grožðe sijaèa, i gore æe kapati slatkim vinom, a svi æe se humovi rastapati.
There will be a time [when your crops will grow very well]. Very soon after the crops are harvested, farmers will plow the ground [to plant more crops in it again], and soon after the vineyards are planted, [farmers will harvest] grapes and tread on them [to make wine]. [And because there will be a lot of] wine, [it will seem as though] wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].
14 I povratiæu roblje naroda svojega Izrailja, i opet æe sagraditi puste gradove i naseliæe se, i nasadiæe vinograde i piti vino iz njih, i naèiniæe vrtove i jesti rod iz njih.
I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again. You will rebuild your towns and live in them. You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine [made from the grapes that grows in them].
15 I posadiæu ih u zemlji njihovoj, i neæe se više išèupati iz zemlje svoje, koju im dadoh, govori Gospod Bog tvoj.
I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again, the land that I gave to [your ancestors], and never again will you be forced to leave it. [That is what will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
