< Amos 7 >

1 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.
Toto mi ukázal Panovník Hospodin, že aj, formoval kobylky, když nejprvé počala růsti otava, když aj, otava byla po královském posečení.
2 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.
I stalo se, když snědly byliny zemské, že jsem řekl: Panovníče Hospodine, odpustiž, prosím. Kdož zůstane Jákobovi? Neboť ho maličko jest.
3 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
I želel Hospodin toho. Nestaneť se, řekl Hospodin.
4 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.
Tedy ukázal mi Panovník Hospodin, a aj, Panovník Hospodin volal, že při svou povede ohněm. A spáliv propast velikou, spálil i díl.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
Já pak řekl jsem: Panovníče Hospodine, přestaniž, prosím. Kdož zůstane Jákobovi? Neboť ho maličko jest.
6 The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
I želel Hospodin toho. A ani toho se nestane, řekl Panovník Hospodin.
7 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.
Potom ukázal mi, a aj, Pán stál na zdi podlé pravidla vzdělané, v jehož ruce bylo pravidlo.
8 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:
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.
9 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.
Nebo zpuštěny budou výsosti Izákovy, a svatyně Izraelovy zpustnou, tehdáž, když povstanu proti domu Jeroboámovu s mečem.
10 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.
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.
11 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.
Nebo takto praví Amos: Od meče umře Jeroboám, a Izrael jistotně přestěhován bude z země své.
12 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:
Potom řekl Amaziáš Amosovi: Ó vidoucí, ujdi, radímť, utec do země Judské, a jez tam chléb, a tam prorokuj.
13 But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
Ale v Bethel již více neprorokuj, nebo ono svatyně králova i dům královský jest.
14 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:
Tedy odpovídaje Amos, řekl Amaziášovi: Nebylť jsem já prorokem, ano ani synem prorockým, ale byl jsem skotákem, a česával jsem plané fíky.
15 And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.
Ale Hospodin mne vzal, když jsem chodil za stádem, a řekl mi Hospodin: Jdi, prorokuj lidu mému Izraelskému.
16 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.
Nyní tedy slyšiž slovo Hospodinovo. Ty pravíš: Neprorokuj v Izraeli, a nekaž v domě Izákově.
17 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.
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.
