Amos 4
1 Počujte ovu riječ, krave bašanske, što boravite na samarijskoj gori, tlačite potrebite, ugnjetavate siromahe, govorite muževima: “Donesi da pijemo!”
Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink.
2 Zakle se Jahve Gospod svetošću svojom: “Dolaze vam, evo, dani kad će vas izvlačiti kukama, a posljednju od vas ostima.
The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall remain of you in boiling pots.
3 Kroz pukotine ćete izlaziti, ne obziruć' se nikamo, i biti bačene prema Hermonu” - riječ je Jahvina.
And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord.
4 “Idite samo u Betel i griješite, u Gilgal i množite grijehe svoje! Prinosite svakog jutra žrtve, i desetine svaki treći dan.
Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in three days.
5 Palite tijesto uskislo na žrtvu zahvalnicu, oglasite žrtve dragovoljne, razglasite ih, jer to volite, sinovi Izraelovi” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
6 “Zato dadoh da vam zubi čisti ostanu u svim gradovima vašim, ostavih vas bez kruha u svim selima vašim; pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned to me, saith the Lord.
7 “Uskratih vam i kišu tri mjeseca prije žetve; pustih da kiši na jedan grad, al' ne i na drugi; jedno bi se polje nakvasilo, a drugo bi se - na koje ne pustih kiše - sasušilo.
I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the piece whereupon I rained not, withered.
8 Dva-tri grada lutahu tako u treći da piju vode, ali se ne mogoše napiti, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
And two and three cities went to one city to drink water, and were not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
9 “Udarah vas snijeću i medljikom, sasuših vam vrtove i vinograde, proždriješe vam skakavci smokve i masline, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I struck you with a burning wind, and with mildew, the palmerworm hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive groves, and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
10 “Poslah na vas kugu poput kuge egipatske; mladiće vaše poklah mačem, a konji vam bjehu k'o plijen odvedeni; napunih vam nosnice smradom iz tabora vašega, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I sent death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew your young men with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made the stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
11 “Obarah vas k'o što Bog obori Sodomu i Gomoru, bijaste k'o glavnja iz ognja istrgnuta, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord.
12 “Stog ću, Izraele, ovako s tobom postupiti, i jer ću tako s tobom postupiti, pripravi se, Izraele, da susretneš Boga svoga!”
Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel: and after I shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 Jer, gle, on sazda planine i stvori vjetar, otkriva čovjeku misao svoju, on tvori zoru i mrak, i penje se na vrh visova zemaljskih, Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, njegovo je ime.
For behold he that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning mist, and walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts is his name.
