< Ámos 2 >

1 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Moábovu, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že spálil kosti krále Idumejského na vápno.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Moab because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [dug up] the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely, with the result that [the ashes became as white] as lime.
2 Ale pošli oheň na Moába, kterýžto zžíře paláce Kariot, i umře s hlukem Moáb, s křikem a s hlasem trouby.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth [city in Moab]. [People will hear soldiers] shouting and blowing trumpets [loudly] while I am causing Moab to be destroyed
3 A vypléním soudce jeho, i všecka knížata jeho zmorduji s ním, praví Hospodin.
[and while] I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
4 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Judovu, ovšem pro čtveru neslituji se nad ním, proto že oni pohrdají zákonem Hospodinovým, a ustanovení jeho neostříhají, a svodí se lžmi svými, jichž následovali otcové jejich.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will also punish the people of] Judah because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they have rejected what I taught them and they have not obeyed my commands. They have been deceived [and persuaded to worship false gods], the same [gods] that their ancestors [worshiped].
5 Ale pošli oheň na Judu, kterýžto zžíře paláce Jeruzalémské.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn [everything in] Judah, including the fortresses in Jerusalem.”
6 Takto praví Hospodin: Pro troji nešlechetnost Izraelovu, ovšem pro čtveru neodpustím jemu, proto že prodávají spravedlivého za peníze, a nuzného za pár střevíců.
Yahweh [also] said this: “[I will punish the people of] Israel because of the many sins [that they have committed]; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they sell righteous [people] to get [a small amount of] silver; they sell poor [people, causing them to become slaves], getting for [each of] them [only the amount of money with which they could buy] a pair of sandals.
7 Kteříž dychtí, aby chudé s prstí smísili, a cestu tichých převracejí; nadto syn i otec vcházejí k jedné a též mladici, aby poškvrnili jména svatosti mé.
[It is as though] they trample the poor people into the dirt and do not allow those who are helpless to be treated fairly. Men and their fathers dishonor me [MTY] by both having sex [EUP] with the same [slave] girl.
8 A na oděvu zastaveném klanějí se při každém oltáři, a víno pokutovaných pijí v domě bohů svých,
[When poor people borrow money], [the lenders force those people to give to them a piece of clothing] for them to keep until he can pay back the money. [But at the end of each day, instead of returning that garment as Yahweh had commanded them to], they lie down on that garment at the places where they worship [their gods]! They fine people, and with that money [they buy] wine and drink it in the temples of their gods!
9 Ješto jsem já vyhladil Amorejského od tváři jejich, jehož vysokost byla jako vysokost cedrů. Ačkoli pevně stál jako dub, však jsem zkazil svrchu ovoce jeho, pospodu pak kořeny jeho.
[Long ago, ] to assist your ancestors, I got rid of the Amor people-group. They [seemed to be] as tall as cedar [trees] and as strong as oak [trees], but I got rid of them completely, [as easily as someone cuts off] [MET] the branches of a tree and then digs out all its roots.
10 A vás já jsem vyvedl z země Egyptské, a vyvedl jsem vás po poušti čtyřidceti let, abyste dědičně vládli zemí Amorejského.
I brought your [ancestors] out of Egypt, and [then] I led them through the desert for 40 years. And then I enabled them to conquer/possess the Amor area.
11 A vzbuzoval jsem z synů vašich proroky, a z mládenců vašich Nazarejské. Zdaliž není tak, ó synové Izraelští? praví Hospodin.
I chose some of you Israelis to be prophets, and I chose others to be Nazir-men [who were completely dedicated to me]. You people of Israel certainly [RHQ] know that what I have said is true!
12 Ale vy jste napájeli Nazarejské vínem, a prorokům jste zapovídali, řkouce: Neprorokujte.
But you commanded the prophets to not speak the messages that [I gave to] them, and you persuaded the Nazir-men to drink wine, [which I told them never to do].
13 Aj, já tlačiti budu zemi vaši tak, jako vůz těžký tlačí snopy.
So I will crush you like [SIM] [the wheels of] a wagon that is loaded with grain crushes [whatever it rolls over].
14 I zahyne utíkání od rychlého, silný též neužive síly své, a udatný nevysvobodí života svého.
[Even] if you run fast, you will not escape; [even] if you are strong, [it will be as though] you are weak, and warriors will be unable to save themselves.
15 A ten, kterýž se chápá lučiště, neostojí, a čerstvý na nohy své neuteče, a ten, kterýž jezdí na koni, nevysvobodí života svého.
[Even] if you are able to shoot arrows [well], you will be forced to retreat [LIT]; [even] if you run fast or if you ride [away] on a horse, you will not [be able to] save yourself.
16 Ale i zmužilého srdce mezi nejudatnějšími nahý utíkati bude v ten den, praví Hospodin.
[Even] warriors who are very brave will drop their weapons when they try to flee on the day [that I get rid of them]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
