Ámos 7
1 Toto mi ukázal Panovník Hospodin, že aj, formoval kobylky, když nejprvé počala růsti otava, když aj, otava byla po královském posečení.
This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.
2 I stalo se, když snědly byliny zemské, že jsem řekl: Panovníče Hospodine, odpustiž, prosím. Kdož zůstane Jákobovi? Neboť ho maličko jest.
And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
3 I želel Hospodin toho. Nestaneť se, řekl Hospodin.
The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
4 Tedy ukázal mi Panovník Hospodin, a aj, Panovník Hospodin volal, že při svou povede ohněm. A spáliv propast velikou, spálil i díl.
This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.
5 Já pak řekl jsem: Panovníče Hospodine, přestaniž, prosím. Kdož zůstane Jákobovi? Neboť ho maličko jest.
Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
6 I želel Hospodin toho. A ani toho se nestane, řekl Panovník Hospodin.
The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
7 Potom ukázal mi, a aj, Pán stál na zdi podlé pravidla vzdělané, v jehož ruce bylo pravidlo.
This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.
8 I řekl mi Hospodin: Co vidíš, Amose? Řekl jsem: Pravidlo. I řekl Pán: Aj, já položím pravidlo u prostřed lidu svého Izraelského, nebuduť již více promíjeti jemu.
And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:
9 Nebo zpuštěny budou výsosti Izákovy, a svatyně Izraelovy zpustnou, tehdáž, když povstanu proti domu Jeroboámovu s mečem.
And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Tedy poslal Amaziáš kněz Bethelský k Jeroboámovi králi Izraelskému, řka: Spuntoval se proti tobě Amos u prostřed domu Izraelského, ta země nemohla by snésti všech slov jeho.
Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, Amos has made designs against you among the people of Israel: the land is troubled by his words.
11 Nebo takto praví Amos: Od meče umře Jeroboám, a Izrael jistotně přestěhován bude z země své.
For Amos has said, Jeroboam will be put to the sword, and Israel will certainly be taken away as a prisoner out of his land.
12 Potom řekl Amaziáš Amosovi: Ó vidoucí, ujdi, radímť, utec do země Judské, a jez tam chléb, a tam prorokuj.
And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go in flight into the land of Judah, and there get your living by working as a prophet:
13 Ale v Bethel již více neprorokuj, nebo ono svatyně králova i dům královský jest.
But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
14 Tedy odpovídaje Amos, řekl Amaziášovi: Nebylť jsem já prorokem, ano ani synem prorockým, ale byl jsem skotákem, a česával jsem plané fíky.
Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:
15 Ale Hospodin mne vzal, když jsem chodil za stádem, a řekl mi Hospodin: Jdi, prorokuj lidu mému Izraelskému.
And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
16 Nyní tedy slyšiž slovo Hospodinovo. Ty pravíš: Neprorokuj v Izraeli, a nekaž v domě Izákově.
Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac.
17 Protož takto praví Hospodin: Žena tvá cizoložiti bude v městě, synové pak tvoji i dcery tvé od meče padnou; a země tvá provazcem dělena bude, a ty v zemi nečisté umřeš, Izrael pak jistotně přestěhován bude z země své.
So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
