Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
Èujte rijeè koju govori Gospod za vas, sinovi Izrailjevi, za sve pleme koje sam izveo iz zemlje Misirske, govoreæi:
2 “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
Samo vas poznah izmeðu svijeh plemena zemaljskih, zato æu vas pohoditi za sva bezakonja vaša.
3 Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?
Hoæe li dvojica iæi zajedno, ako se ne sastanu?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?
Hoæe li riknuti lav u šumi, ako nema lova? hoæe li laviæ pustiti glas svoj iz peæine svoje, ako ne uhvati što?
5 Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?
Hoæe li ptica pasti u mrežu na zemlju, ako nema zamke? hoæe li se dignuti mreža sa zemlje, ako se ništa ne uhvati?
6 If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
Hoæe li truba trubiti po gradu, a narod da ne dotrèi uplašen? hoæe li biti nesreæa u gradu, a Gospod da je ne uèini?
7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
Jer Gospod Gospod ne èini ništa ne otkrivši tajne svoje slugama svojim prorocima.
8 The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?
Kad lav rikne, ko se neæe bojati? kad Gospod reèe, ko neæe prorokovati?
9 Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
Oglasite po dvorovima Azotskim i po dvorovima u zemlji Misirskoj, i recite: skupite se na gore Samarijske i vidite velike nerede u njoj i nasilje u njoj.
10 “For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
Ne znaju èiniti pravo, govori Gospod, sabiraju blago nasiljem i grabežem u dvorima svojim.
11 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “An enemy will surround the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your citadels.”
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: neprijatelj je oko zemlje i oboriæe ti silu tvoju, i oplijeniæe se dvorovi tvoji.
12 This is what the LORD says: “As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued having just the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
Ovako veli Gospod: kao kad pastir istrgne iz usta lavu dvije golijeni ili kraj od uha, tako æe se istrgnuti sinovi Izrailjevi koji sjede u Samariji na uglu od odra i nakraj postelje.
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
Èujte i zasvjedoèite u domu Jakovljevu, govori Gospod Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
14 On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
Kad pohodim Izrailja za grijehe njegove, tada æu pohoditi i oltare Vetiljske, i odbiæe se rogovi oltaru i pašæe na zemlju.
15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses of ivory will also perish, and the great houses will come to an end,”
I udariæu kuæu zimnu i ljetnu kuæu, i propašæe kuæe od slonove kosti, i nestaæe velikih kuæa, govori Gospod.
