Amos 7
1 Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, sazda skakavce kad otava poče nicati, otava nakon kraljevske kosidbe.
2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.
Kad izjedoše sav zemaljski usjev, rekoh: “Jahve Gospode, oprosti, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
I Jahve se stoga pokaja: “Neće biti”, reče Jahve.
4 Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgement by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: Gle, Jahve Gospod pozva oganj da kažnjava; već proždrije veliki Bezdan i uprav poče gutati polje.
5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.
A ja ću: “Stani, Jahve Gospode, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
6 This also shall not be, says the Lord.
I Jahve se stog pokaja: “Ni ovoga neće biti”, reče Jahve Gospod.
7 Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.
Evo što mi Jahve Gospod pokaza: gle, čovjek stoji na zidu, u ruci mu visak.
8 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.
“Što vidiš, Amose?” - upita me Jahve. “Visak”, rekoh. Tada Gospod reče: “Evo, izmjerit ću viskom svoj narod izraelski; neću ga više štedjeti.
9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Razorit će se uzvišice Izakove, opustjeti svetišta izraelska, i s mačem ću ustati na kuću Jeroboamovu.”
10 Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
Amasja, svećenik betelski, poruči izraelskom kralju Jeroboamu: “Amos se urotio protiv tebe usred doma Izraelova; zemlja ne može više podnijeti njegovih riječi.
11 For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
Jer ovako on govori: 'Jeroboam će poginuti od mača, a Izrael će iz svoje zemlje u izgnanstvo.'”
12 And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
Amasja reče Amosu: “Odlazi, vidioče! Bježi u zemlju Judinu, ondje jedi kruh i ondje prorokuj!
13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
Ali u Betelu da više nisi prorokovao, jer ovo je kraljevsko svetište, kraljevski hram.”
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
“Nisam bio prorok ni proročki sin” - odgovori Amos Amasji - “bio sam stočar i gajio sam divlje smokve:
15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.
ali me Jahve uze od stada i Jahve mi reče: 'Idi, prorokuj mojemu narodu Izraelu.'
16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.
Sada čuj riječ Jahvinu. Ti veliš: 'Ne prorokuj protiv Izraela, ne proriči protiv doma Izakova.'
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Tvoja će žena bludničit' po gradu, sinovi tvoji i kćeri od mača će pasti, tvoja će se zemlja užetom razdijeliti, a ti ćeš umrijeti na nečistu tlu, i Izrael će otići u izgnanstvo iz svoje zemlje.'”
