Amos 1
1 These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
Riječi Amosa, pastira iz Tekoe. Njegova viđenja o Izraelu u doba judejskoga kralja Uzije i Jeroboama, sina Joaša, izraelskoga kralja, dvije godine prije potresa.
2 He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
Veli on: “Jahve grmi sa Siona, iz Jeruzalema glas mu se ori; stočarski pašnjaci tuže i suši se vrh Karmela.”
3 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Damaska, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer su vrhli Gilead cijepom željeznim,
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
pustit ću oganj na dom Hazaelov da sažeže Ben-Hadadove dvorce;
5 I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
polomit ću zasune Damaska, istrijebiti živalj Bikat Avena i žezlonošu iz Bet Edena; narod će aramski u ropstvo u Kir,” veli Jahve Gospod.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Gaze, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer odvedoše sve u izgnanstvo i Edomu predadoše,
7 So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
pustit ću oganj na zidine Gaze da dvorce joj sažeže.
8 I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
Istrijebit ću žitelje ašdodske i žezlonošu iz Aškelona. Pružit ću ruku na Ekron da ostatak filistejski pogine,” veli Jahve Gospod.
9 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Tira, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer predade sve izgnanike Edomu i nisu se sjetili bratskog saveza,
10 So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
pustit ću oganj na zidove Tira da sažeže njihove dvorce.”
11 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
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,
12 So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
pustit ću oganj na Teman da sažeže dvorce u Bosri.”
13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Za tri zločina Amonovih sinova, za četiri zločina, odluka je neopoziva: jer parahu trudnice gileadske da rašire granice svoje,
14 So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
potpalit ću oganj na zidinama Rabe da dvorce joj sažeže, s bojnom grajom u dan rata, s burama u dan vihora,
15 Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
a kralj će im otić' u izgnanstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njime,” veli Jahve Gospod.
