< Amos 9 >
1 Vidjeh Gospoda gdje stoji kraj žrtvenika i govori: “Udari u glavice stupova, neka se pragovi zatresu! Svima ću satrti glave, što ostane, pod mač ću udariti. Nijedan neće uteći, nitko se neće spasiti.
I saw the Lord towering above the altar, and he commanded: Strike the tops of the pillars so that the foundations may shake, bring them down on the heads of the people below. The rest of them I will slay with the sword: no one will get away, no one will escape.
2 Zariju li se i u Podzemlje, iščupat će ih ruka moja. Popnu li se i na nebo, odande ću ih skinuti. (Sheol )
If they dig down to Sheol, there will my hand take them. If they climb up to the heavens, from there will I bring them down. (Sheol )
3 Ako se sakriju i navrh Karmela, naći ću ih i pohvatati. Ako se od mog pogleda na dno morsko skriju, zapovjedit ću Zmaju da ih proždre.
If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there will I search them out and take them. If they hide out of my sight at the bottom of the sea, there will I command the sea serpent to bite them.
4 Ako i u izgnanstvo odu pred neprijateljem, naredit ću maču da ih sasiječe; upravit ću oči na njih, ali na nesreću, ne na dobro.”
If they are taken into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will keep my eye on them but for evil and not for good.
5 Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama... on dodirne zemlju i ona se potrese, svi joj stanovnici protuže; diže se sva poput Nila i spušta k'o Rijeka egipatska.
It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile of Egypt.
6 On sazda sebi prijesto na nebesima, i svod svoj na zemlji osnova; on poziva morske vode i lijeva ih zemlji preko lica - Jahve mu je ime.
The one who builds in the heavens, who sets the dome of the sky over the earth, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name.
7 “Sinovi Izraelovi, niste li za me kao i Kušani” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ne izvedoh li ja Izraela iz zemlje egipatske, kao Filistejce iz Kaftora i Aramejce iz Kira?”
To me, Israelites, you are just like the Cushites, says the Lord. Yes, I brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, but also the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir!
8 Gle, oči Jahve Gospoda uprte su na grešno kraljevstvo, izbrisat će ga s lica zemlje. “Ipak neću sasvim zatrti dom Jakovljev” - riječ je Jahvina.
Behold the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom: I will destroy it from the face of the earth! But I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord.
9 “Jer, gle, zapovijed ću dati i rastresti dom Izraelov među sve narode, k'o što se trese žito u rešetu, da ni zrnce na zemlju ne padne.
For behold I am about to give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations just as one shakes grain in a sieve, but not a pebble shall fall to the ground.
10 Svi grešnici naroda moga od mača će pasti, svi koji kažu: 'Nije blizu i neće nas stići nesreća.'”
All the sinners of my people, who deny that disaster will touch or befall them, will die by the sword.
11 “U dan ću onaj podići raspalu kolibu Davidovu, zatvorit' joj pukotine, popraviti mjesta ruševna, opet je sazidati k'o u stara vremena,
On that day I will raise up the fallen house of David, I will wall up its gaps and raise up its ruins, I will rebuild it as it was long ago.
12 da osvoje ostatak Edoma i svih naroda nad kojima je zazvano ime moje” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda, tvorca svega toga.
They will possess again the rest of Edom, and all the nations which once you ruled for me, says the Lord, who will do this.
13 “Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će orač stizat' žeteoca, mastilac grožđa sijača, kad će planine procuriti mladim vinom i svi se bregovi prelijevati njime.
Listen! The days are coming, says the Lord, when the harvest is too big to reap before it is time to plow, when the grapes cannot be all trod before it is time to sow, when the mountains will run with sweet wine, and every hill will flow with it.
14 Okrenut ću sudbinu naroda moga Izraela: obnovit će gradove srušene i živjeti u njima, saditi vinograde i vino im piti, zasaditi vrtove i jesti njihov rod.
I will bring back my people Israel, they will rebuild waste cities and inhabit them, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 Posadit ću ih u zemlju njihovu i nikad se više neće iščupati iz zemlje koju im dadoh” - veli Jahve, Bog tvoj.
I will plant them on their own soil, and they will never again be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
