Amos 7

1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.

Ovo mi pokaza Gospod Gospod: gle, sazdavaše skakavce kad poèinjaše nicati otava, i gle, bijaše otava po carevoj kosidbi.

2 And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”

A kad pojedoše travu zemaljsku, tada rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, smiluj se; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.

3 So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.

Gospod se raskaja za to: neæe biti, reèe Gospod.

4 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.

Tada mi pokaza Gospod Gospod, i gle, Gospod Gospod povika da æe suditi ognjem; i oganj proždrije veliku bezdanu i proždrije dio zemlje.

5 Then I said, “Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”

A ja rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, prestani; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.

6 So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen either,” said the Lord GOD.

Gospod se raskaja za to: ni to neæe biti, reèe Gospod Gospod.

7 This is what He showed me: Behold, the Lord was standing by a wall true to plumb, with a plumb line in His hand.

Tada mi pokaza, i gle, Gospod stajaše na zidu sazidanu po mjerilima, i u ruci mu bjehu mjerila.

8 “Amos, what do you see?” asked the LORD. “A plumb line,” I replied. “Behold,” said the Lord, “I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them:

I reèe mi Gospod: što vidiš, Amose? I rekoh: mjerila. A Gospod mi reèe: evo, ja æu metnuti mjerila posred naroda svojega Izrailja, neæu ga više prolaziti.

9 The high places of Isaac will be deserted, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with My sword.”

Jer æe se razoriti visine Isakove, i svetinje æe Izrailjeve opustjeti, i ustaæu na dom Jerovoamov s maèem.

10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words,

Tada Amasija sveštenik Vetiljski posla k Jerovoamu caru Izrailjevu i poruèi mu: Amos diže bunu na te usred doma Izrailjeva, zemlja ne može podnijeti svijeh rijeèi njegovijeh.

11 for this is what Amos has said: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

Jer ovako govori Amos: Jerovoam æe poginuti od maèa, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz zemlje svoje u ropstvo.

12 And Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah; earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.

Potom reèe Amasija Amosu: vidioèe, idi, bježi u zemlju Judinu, i ondje jedi hljeb i ondje prorokuj;

13 But never prophesy at Bethel again, because it is the sanctuary of the king and the temple of the kingdom.”

A u Vetilju više ne prorokuj, jer je svetinja careva i dom je carski.

14 “I was not a prophet,” Amos replied, “nor was I the son of a prophet; rather, I was a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees.

A Amos odgovori i reèe Amasiji: ne bjeh prorok ni proroèki sin, nego bjeh govedar i brah dudove;

15 But the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’

A Gospod me uze od stada i reèe mi Gospod: idi, prorokuj narodu mojemu Izrailju.

16 Now, therefore, hear the word of the LORD. You say: ‘Do not prophesy against Israel; do not preach against the house of Isaac.’

Sada dakle èuj rijeè Gospodnju. Ti kažeš: ne prorokuj u Izrailju, i ne kropi po domu Isakovu.

17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be divided by a measuring line, and you yourself will die on pagan soil. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

Zato ovako veli Gospod: žena æe ti se kurvati u gradu, i sinovi æe tvoji i kæeri tvoje pasti od maèa, i zemlja æe se tvoja razdijeliti užem, i ti æeš umrijeti u neèistoj zemlji, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz svoje zemlje u ropstvo.
