Amos 8

1 Thus did Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, a basket of summer-fruit.

Ovo mi pokaza Gospod: gle, kotarica ljetnoga voæa.

2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer-fruit. And Jehovah said unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.

I reèe: što vidiš, Amose? A ja rekoh: kotaricu ljetnoga voæa. A Gospod mi reèe: doðe kraj narodu mojemu Izrailju, neæu ga više prolaziti.

3 And the songs of the palace shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast forth. Silence!

I pjesme æe crkvene biti ridanje u onaj dan, govori Gospod; biæe mnoštvo mrtvijeh tjelesa, koja æe se svuda pobacati muèeæi.

4 Hear this, ye that pant after the needy, even to cause to fail the poor of the land,

Èujte ovo, koji proždirete uboge i satirete siromahe u zemlji,

5 saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances for deceit:

Govoreæi: kad æe proæi mladina da prodajemo žito? i subota da otvorimo pšenicu? umaljujuæi efu i poveæavajuæi sikal i varajuæi lažnijem mjerilima;

6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat.

Da kupujemo siromahe za novce i ubogoga za jedne opanke, i da prodajemo oèinke od pšenice.

7 Jehovah hath sworn by the glory of Jacob, Certainly I will never forget any of their works.

Zakle se Gospod slavom Jakovljevom: neæu nigda zaboraviti nijednoga djela njihova.

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? And it shall wholly rise up like the Nile; and it shall surge and sink down, as the river of Egypt.

Neæe li se zemlja potresti od toga, i protužiti svaki koji živi na njoj? i neæe li se sva razliti kao rijeka? i neæe li se odnijeti i potopiti kao od rijeke Misirske?

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the land in the clear day.

I u onaj dan, govori Gospod Gospod, uèiniæu da sunce zaðe u podne, i pomraèiæu zemlju za bijela dana.

10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.

I pretvoriæu praznike vaše u žalost i sve pjesme vaše u plaè, i metnuæu kostrijet oko svijeh bedara, i uèiniæu da svaka glava oæelavi i da bude žalost kao za jedincem, i kraj æe joj biti kao gorak dan.

11 Behold, days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.

Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod Gospod, kad æu pustiti glad na zemlju, ne glad hljeba ni žeð vode, nego slušanja rijeèi Gospodnjih.

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.

I potucaæe se od mora do mora, i od sjevera do istoka trèaæe tražeæi rijeè Gospodnju, i neæe je naæi.

13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;

U to æe vrijeme obamirati lijepe djevojke i mladiæi od žeði,

14 they that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, [As] thy god, O Dan, liveth! and, [As] the way of Beer-sheba liveth! even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Koji se kunu krivicom Samarijskom i govore: tako da je živ Bog tvoj, Dane, i tako da je živ put u Virsaveju. I pašæe, i neæe više ustati.
