Amos 2
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Moaba, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer kosti edomskoga kralja spališe u vapno,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,
2 pustit ću oganj na Moab da dvorce kerijotske sažeže, a Moab će umrijet u metežu, s bojnom grajom i sa zvukom trube;
And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it has consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And Moab is dying with noise, With shouting, with voice of a horn.
3 oborit ću suca u njemu i poklati sve knezove s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And I have cut off judge from her midst, And I slay all its heads with him,” said YHWH.
4 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Judina, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odbaciše Zakon Jahvin i njegovih se odredaba ne držahu; zavedoše ih lažni bozi za kojima iđahu očevi njihovi,
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their loathing the Law of YHWH, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies cause them to err, After which their fathers walked,
5 pustit ću oganj na Judu, da sažeže dvorce jeruzalemske.”
And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it has consumed palaces of Jerusalem.”
6 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Izraela, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer prodavahu pravednika za srebro i nevoljnika za sandale;
Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling the righteous for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals.
7 jer gaze po glavi siromahu i sirotinju na zlo vode; sin i otac k istoj djevojci idu da oskvrnu moje sveto ime;
Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go to the girl, So as to defile My holy Name.
8 i na haljinama u zalog uzetima leže kraj svakoga žrtvenika; i piju vino oglobljenih u Domu Boga svojega.
And they stretch themselves on pledged garments near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.
9 Ja pred njima istrijebih Amorejce visoke k'o cedar, jake poput hrašća, ja uništih i plod na njima i korijen pod njima.
And I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And he [is] strong as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.
10 Ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske i četrdeset vas godina vodih po pustinji da zaposjednete zemlju amorejsku.
And I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.
11 Ja podigoh proroke izmeđ' vaših sinova i nazirejce među vašim mladićima. Nije li tako, sinovi Izraelovi? - riječ je Jahvina.
And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is this not true, O sons of Israel?” A declaration of YHWH.
12 Al' vi nagnaste nazirejce da vino piju, a prorocima zapovjediste: 'Ne prorokujte!'
“And you cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets you have laid a charge, Saying, Do not prophesy!
13 Gle, ja vas prignječujem o tlo pod vama, k'o što vršalice gnječe klasje;
Behold, I am pressing you under, As the full cart presses a sheaf for itself.
14 neće biti bijega brzu, jaka neće učvrstiti snaga, junak se neće spasiti,
And refuge has perished from the swift, And the strong does not strengthens his power, And the mighty does not deliver his soul.
15 strijelac se neće održati, hitri trkač pobjeć' neće, nit' će jahač umaći,
And the handler of the bow does not stand, And the swift does not deliver [himself] with his feet, And the rider of the horse does not deliver his soul.
16 najsrčaniji će ratnici bježat' nagi onog dana” - riječ je Jahvina.
And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Flees naked in that day,” A declaration of YHWH!
