Amos 3
1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you, O children of Israel, euen against the whole familie which I brought vp from the land of Egypt, saying,
Poslušajte to besedo, ki jo je Gospod govoril zoper vas, oh Izraelovi otroci, zoper celotno družino, ki sem jo privedel iz egiptovske dežele, rekoč:
2 You onely haue I knowen of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visite you for all your iniquities.
»Samo vas sem poznal izmed vseh zemeljskih družin, zato vas bom kaznoval zaradi vseh vaših krivičnosti.
3 Can two walke together except they bee agreed?
Mar lahko dva hodita skupaj, razen če se strinjata?
4 Will a lion roare in ye forest, when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing?
Ali bo lev rjovel v gozdu, kadar nima plena? Ali bo mlad lev vpil iz svojega brloga, če ni ničesar dobil?
5 Can a birde fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no fouler is? or will he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all?
Ali lahko ptica pade v zanko na tla, kjer zanjo ni nobene pasti? Mar nekdo pobere zanko s tal in ni sploh ničesar ujel?
6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people be not afraide? or shall there be euil in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
Mar bo šofar zatrobil v mestu in ljudstvo ne bo prestrašeno? Mar bo zlo v mestu in Gospod tega ni storil?
7 Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reueileth his secrete vnto his seruantes the Prophets.
Zagotovo Gospod Bog ne bo storil ničesar, da ne bi svojo skrivnost razodeval svojim služabnikom prerokom.
8 The lyon hath roared: who will not bee afraide? the Lord God hath spoken: who can but prophecie?
Lev je zarjovel, kdo se ne bo bal? Gospod Bog je spregovoril, kdo ne bi prerokoval?
9 Proclayme in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the lande of Egypt, and saye, Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: so beholde the great tumultes in the middes thereof, and the oppressed in the middes thereof.
Razglasi v palačah pri Ašdódu in v palačah egiptovske dežele in reci: ›Zberite se na gorah Samarije in glejte velike nemire v njeni sredi in zatirane v njeni sredi.‹
10 For they knowe not to doe right, sayth the Lord: they store vp violence, and robbery in their palaces.
Kajti ne znajo delati pravilno, « govori Gospod, »tisti, ki kopičijo nasilje in rop v svojih palačah.«
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, An aduersary shall come euen rounde about the countrey, and shall bring downe thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shalbe spoyled.
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Nasprotnik bo celo naokoli dežele in tvojo moč bo privedel dol od tebe in tvoje palače bodo oplenjene.«
12 Thus saieth the Lord, As the shephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lyon two legges, or a piece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus, as in a couche.
Tako govori Gospod: »Kakor pastir iz levjih ust izvleče dve nogi ali košček ušesa, tako bodo izvlečeni Izraelovi otroci, ki prebivajo v Samariji, v kotu postelje in na ležišču v Damasku.
13 Heare, and testifie in the house of Iaakob, saith the Lord God, the God of hostes.
Prisluhnite in pričujte v Jakobovi hiši, « govori Gospod Bog, Bog nad bojevniki,
14 Surely in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel vpon him, I wil also visite the altars of Beth-el, and the hornes of the altar shall be broken off, and fall to the ground.
»da na dan, ko bom na njem obiskal Izraelove prestopke, bom obiskal tudi oltarje Betela in oltarni rogovi bodo odsekani in padli na tla.
15 And I wil smite the winter house with the sommer house, and the houses of yuorie shall perish, and the great houses shalbe consumed, sayth the Lord.
Zimsko hišo bom udaril s poletno hišo [vred] in slonokoščene hiše bodo izginile in velike hiše bodo uničene, « govori Gospod.
