Ámos 1
1 Slova Amosova, (kterýž byl mezi pastýři) z Tekoa, kteráž viděl o Izraelovi za dnů Uziáše krále Judského, a za dnů Jeroboáma syna Joasova, krále Izraelského, dvě létě před země třesením.
This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
2 I řekl: Hospodin řváti bude z Siona, a z Jeruzaléma vydá hlas svůj, i budou kvíliti salášové pastýřů, a vyschnou pole nejvýbornější.
This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
3 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Damašku, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že mlátili Galáda cepami okovanými.
This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
4 Ale pošli oheň na dům Hazaelův, kterýžto zžíře paláce Benadadovy.
I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
5 I polámi závoru Damašku, a vypléním obyvatele z údolí Aven, a toho, kterýž drží berlu, z domu Eden, i půjde v zajetí lid Syrský do Kir, dí Hospodin.
I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
6 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Gázy, ovšem pro čtveru neslituji se nad ním, proto že je zajímajíce, v zajetí věčné podrobovali Idumejským.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
7 Ale pošli oheň na zed Gázy, kterýžto zžíře paláce její,
I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
8 A vypléním obyvatele z Azotu, i toho, kterýž drží berlu, z Aškalon, a obrátím ruku svou proti Akaron, i zahyne ostatek Filistinských, praví Panovník Hospodin.
I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
9 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Týru, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že je v zajetí věčné podrobili Idumejským, a nepamatovali na smlouvu bratrskou.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
10 Ale pošli oheň na zed Tyrskou, kterýžto zžíře paláce jeho.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
11 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Edoma, ovšem pro čtveru neslituji se nad ním, proto že udusiv v sobě všecku lítostivost, stihá mečem bratra svého, a hněv jeho ustavičně rozsapává, anobrž vzteklost jeho špehuje bez přestání.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
12 Ale pošli oheň na Teman, kterýžto zžíře paláce v Bozra.
I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
13 Toto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost synů Ammon, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že roztínali těhotné Galádské, jen aby rozšiřovali pomezí své.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
14 Ale zanítím oheň na zdi Rabba, kterýžto zžíře paláce její, s troubením v den boje a s bouří v den vichřice.
I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
15 I půjde král jejich v zajetí, on i knížata jeho s ním, praví Hospodin.
[After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
