Amos 5
1 Hear this word, a lamentation, which I take up against you, O house of Israel.
Èujte ovu rijeè, naricanje koje podižem za vama, dome Izrailjev.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
Pade, neæe više ustati djevojka Izrailjeva; baèena je na zemlju svoju, nema nikoga da je podigne.
3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, for the house of Israel.
Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u gradu iz kojega je izlazila tisuæa ostaæe stotina, a iz kojega je izlazila stotina u njemu æe ostati deset domu Izrailjevu.
4 For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and ye shall live.
Jer ovako veli Gospod domu Izrailjevu: tražite me, i biæete živi.
5 And seek not Bethel, neither go to Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
A ne tražite Vetilja, i ne idite u Galgal, i ne prolazite u Virsaveju, jer æe Galgal otiæi u ropstvo, a Vetilj æe se obratiti u ništa.
6 Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and there be none to quench [it] in Bethel.
Tražite Gospoda i biæete živi, da ne obuzme doma Josifova kao oganj i spali i ne bude nikoga da gasi Vetilj.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
Koji obraæate sud u pelen, i pravdu na zemlju obarate,
8 [seek him] that made the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: Jehovah is his name.
Onoga tražite koji je stvorio zvijezde kola i štape, i koji pretvara sjen smrtni u jutro a dan u tamnu noæ, koji doziva vode morske i proljeva ih po zemlji; ime mu je Gospod.
9 He causeth destruction to break forth suddenly upon the strong, and bringeth destruction upon the fortress.
Koji podiže pogibao na jakoga, te pogibao doðe na grad.
10 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Mrze na onoga koji kara na vratima, i gade se na onoga koji govori pravo.
11 Forasmuch, therefore, as ye trample upon the poor, and take from him presents of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them.
Zato što gazite siromaha i uzimate od njega žito u danak, sagradiste kuæe od tesana kamena, ali neæete sjedjeti u njima; nasadiste lijepe vinograde, ali neæete piti vina iz njih.
12 For I know how manifold are your transgressions and your sins mighty: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside [the right of] the needy in the gate.
Jer znam bezakonja vaša, kojih je mnogo, i grijehe vaše, koji su veliki, koji muèite pravednika, primate poklone i izvræete pravdu ubogima na vratima.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in this time; for it is an evil time.
Zato æe pravedni muèati u ovo vrijeme, jer je zlo vrijeme.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye say.
Tražite dobro a ne zlo, da biste bili živi; i tako æe Gospod Bog nad vojskama biti s vama, kako rekoste.
15 Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Mrzite na zlo i ljubite dobro, i postavite na vratima sud, ne bi li se Gospod Bog nad vojskama smilovao na ostatak Josifov.
16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all broadways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod: biæe tužnjava po svijem ulicama, i po svijem putovima govoriæe: jaoh! jaoh! i zvaæe ratare na žalost i na tužnjavu one koji umiju naricati.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
I po svijem æe vinogradima biti tužnjava, jer æu proæi posred tebe, govori Gospod.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness and not light:
Teško onima koji žele dan Gospodnji! što æe vam dan Gospodnji? tada je mrak a ne vidjelo.
19 as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Kao da bi ko bježao od lava pa bi ga sreo medvjed; ili kao da bi ko došao u kuæu i naslonio se rukom na zid, pa bi ga zmija ujela.
20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Nije li dan Gospodnji mrak a ne vidjelo? i tama, bez svjetlosti?
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell [a sweet odour] in your solemn assemblies.
Mrzim na vaše praznike, odbacio sam ih, i neæu da mirišem svetkovina vaših.
22 For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts.
Ako mi prinesete žrtve paljenice i prinose svoje, neæu ih primiti, i neæu pogledati na zahvalne žrtve od ugojene stoke vaše.
23 Take away from me the noise of thy songs, and I will not hear the melody of thy lutes;
Ukloni od mene buku pjesama svojih, i sviranja psaltira tvojih neæu da èujem.
24 but let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream.
Nego sud neka teèe kao voda i pravda kao silan potok.
25 Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and oblations in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Jeste li meni prinosili žrtve i dare u pustinji èetrdeset godina, dome Izrailjev?
26 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye had made to yourselves;
Nego ste nosili šator Moloha svojega, i Hijuna, likove svoje, zvijezdu boga svojega, koje sami sebi naèiniste.
27 and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
Zato æu vas preseliti iza Damaska, govori Gospod, kojemu je ime Bog nad vojskama.
