Amos 1
1 Riječi Amosa, pastira iz Tekoe. Njegova viđenja o Izraelu u doba judejskoga kralja Uzije i Jeroboama, sina Joaša, izraelskoga kralja, dvije godine prije potresa.
The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua: which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
2 Veli on: “Jahve grmi sa Siona, iz Jeruzalema glas mu se ori; stočarski pašnjaci tuže i suši se vrh Karmela.”
And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is withered.
3 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Damaska, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer su vrhli Gilead cijepom željeznim,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.
4 pustit ću oganj na dom Hazaelov da sažeže Ben-Hadadove dvorce;
And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
5 polomit ću zasune Damaska, istrijebiti živalj Bikat Avena i žezlonošu iz Bet Edena; narod će aramski u ropstvo u Kir,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene, saith the Lord.
6 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Gaze, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odvedoše sve u izgnanstvo i Edomu predadoše,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
7 pustit ću oganj na zidine Gaze da dvorce joj sažeže.
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
8 Istrijebit ću žitelje ašdodske i žezlonošu iz Aškelona. Pružit ću ruku na Ekron da ostatak filistejski pogine,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
9 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Tira, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer predade sve izgnanike Edomu i nisu se sjetili bratskog saveza,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered the covenant of brethren.
10 pustit ću oganj na zidove Tira da sažeže njihove dvorce.”
And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the houses thereof.
11 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Edoma, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer gonjaše brata mačem prigušujuć' samilost svoju, jer gnjev svoj potpirivaše jednako, jer poticaše bijes svoj,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity, and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.
12 pustit ću oganj na Teman da sažeže dvorce u Bosri.”
I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of Bosra.
13 Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Amonovih sinova, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer parahu trudnice gileadske da rašire granice svoje,
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to enlarge his border.
14 potpalit ću oganj na zidinama Rabe da dvorce joj sažeže, s bojnom grajom u dan rata, s burama u dan vihora,
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
15 a kralj će im otić' u izgnanstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes together, saith the Lord.
