Amos 5
1 Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
Poslušajte to besedo, ki jo vzdigujem zoper vas, celó žalostinko, oh Izraelova hiša.
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
Devica Izrael je padla, ne bo več vstala, zapuščena je na svoji zemlji, tam ni nikogar, ki bi jo vzdignil.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: »Mestu, ki je šlo ven po tisoč, jih preostane sto in tistemu, ki je šlo naprej po sto, jih preostane deset, Izraelovi hiši.«
4 Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Izraelovi hiši: »Iščite me in boste živeli,
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
toda ne iščite Betela niti ne vstopajte v Gilgál in ne prečkajte v Beeršébo, kajti Gilgál bo zagotovo šel v ujetništvo in Betel bo prišel v nič.
6 Seek you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
Iščite Gospoda in boste živeli, da ne izbruhne kakor ogenj v Jožefovi hiši in jo použije in tam ne bo nikogar, da bi jo gasil v Betelu.
7 [It is he] that executes judgement in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:
Vi, ki prevračate sodbo v grenkobo in opuščate pravičnost na zemlji,
8 who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
iščite njega, ki določa sedem zvezd in Orion in obrača senco smrti v jutro in dan mrači z nočjo, ki kliče po vodah morja in jih izliva na obličje zemlje, Gospod je njegovo ime,
9 who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
ki jača oplenjenega zoper močnega, tako da bo oplenjeni prišel zoper trdnjavo.
10 They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
Sovražijo tistega, ki graja v velikih vratih in prezirajo tistega, ki govori iskreno.
11 Therefore because they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.
Ker kakor je torej vaše mendranje nad revnim in vi od njega jemljete bremena žita; zgradili ste hiše iz klesanega kamna, toda ne boste prebivali v njih; sadili ste prijetne vinograde, toda ne boste pili vina od njih.
12 For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgement of] the poor in the gates.
Kajti jaz poznam vaše mnogotere prestopke in vaše mogočne grehe; stiskajo pravičnega, jemljejo podkupnino in v velikih vratih revne odvračajo od njihove pravice.
13 Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
Zato bo v tem času razsoden molčal, kajti to je hud čas.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,
Iščite dobro in ne zla, da boste lahko živeli in tako bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, z vami, kakor ste govorili.
15 We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgement in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Sovražite zlo in ljubite dobro in vzpostavite sodbo v velikih vratih. Morda bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, milostljiv Jožefovemu preostanku.«
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
Zato Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Gospod, tako govori: »Tarnanje bo na vseh ulicah in na vseh glavnih cestah bodo govorili: ›Ojoj! Ojoj!‹ in poklicali bodo poljedelca, da žaluje in tiste, ki so vešči objokovanja, da tarnajo.
17 And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says the Lord.
In v vseh vinogradih bo tarnanje, kajti jaz pojdem skozte, « govori Gospod.
18 Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light.
»Gorje vam, ki si želite Gospodovega dneva! Čemu vam bo to? Dan Gospodov je tema in ne svetloba.
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
Kakor če je človek pobegnil pred levom in ga je srečal medved; ali odšel v hišo in svojo roko naslonil na zid in ga je pičila kača.
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
Mar ne bo Gospodov dan tema in ne svetloba? Celo zelo temen in nobenega svetlikanja v njem?
21 I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies.
Sovražim, preziram vaše praznične dni in nočem povonjati vaših slovesnih zborov.
22 Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
Čeprav mi darujete žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, jih ne bom sprejel niti se ne bom oziral na mirovne daritve vaših debelih živali.
23 Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.
Šum svojih pesmi vzemi proč od mene, kajti ne bom poslušal melodije tvojih lir.
24 But let judgement roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.
Temveč naj sodba teče dol kakor vode in pravičnost kakor mogočen vodotok.
25 Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
Mar ste mi darovali klavne daritve in jedilne daritve štirideset let v divjini, oh hiša Izraelova?
26 Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for yourselves.
Toda nosili ste šotor svojega Moloha in Kijúna, svojih podob, zvezdo svojega boga, kar ste si naredili zase.
27 And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
Zatorej vam bom povzročil, da greste v ujetništvo onkraj Damaska, « govori Gospod, čigar ime je Bog nad bojevniki.
