Amos 7
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto mee, and beholde, he formed grashoppers in the beginning of ye shooting vp of the latter grouth: and loe, it was in the latter grouth after the Kings mowing.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, sazda skakavce kad otava poče nicati, otava nakon kraljevske kosidbe.
2 And when they had made an ende of eating the grasse of the land, then I saide, O Lord God, spare, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
Kad izjedoše sav zemaljski usjev, rekoh: “Jahve Gospode, oprosti, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
3 So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.
I Jahve se stoga pokaja: “Neće biti”, reče Jahve.
4 Thus also hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and behold, the Lord God called to iudgement by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: Gle, Jahve Gospod pozva oganj da kažnjava; već proždrije veliki Bezdan i uprav poče gutati polje.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseeche thee: who shall raise vp Iaakob? for he is small.
A ja ću: “Stani, Jahve Gospode, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
6 So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
I Jahve se stog pokaja: “Ni ovoga neće biti”, reče Jahve Gospod.
7 Thus againe he shewed me, and behold, the Lord stoode vpon a wall made by line with a line in his hand.
Evo što mi Jahve Gospod pokaza: gle, čovjek stoji na zidu, u ruci mu visak.
8 And the Lord saide vnto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Beholde, I wil set a line in the middes of my people Israel, and wil passe by them no 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 hye places of Izhak shalbe desolate, and the temples of Israel shalbe destroyed: and I wil rise against the house of Ieroboam with the sworde.
Razorit će se uzvišice Izakove, opustjeti svetišta izraelska, i s mačem ću ustati na kuću Jeroboamovu.”
10 Then Amaziah the Priest of Beth-el sent to Ieroboam King of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the middes of the house of Israel: the lande is not able to beare all his wordes.
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 Amos saith, Ieroboam shall die by the sworde, and Israel shalbe led away captiue out of their owne land.
Jer ovako on govori: 'Jeroboam će poginuti od mača, a Izrael će iz svoje zemlje u izgnanstvo.'”
12 Also Amaziah sayde vnto Amos, O thou the Seer, goe, flee thou away into the land of Iudah, and there eate thy bread and prophecie there.
Amasja reče Amosu: “Odlazi, vidioče! Bježi u zemlju Judinu, ondje jedi kruh i ondje prorokuj!
13 But prophecie no more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings chappel, and it is the Kings court.
Ali u Betelu da više nisi prorokovao, jer ovo je kraljevsko svetište, kraljevski hram.”
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no Prophet, neither was I a prophets sonne, but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of wilde figs.
“Nisam bio prorok ni proročki sin” - odgovori Amos Amasji - “bio sam stočar i gajio sam divlje smokve:
15 And the Lord tooke me as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel.
ali me Jahve uze od stada i Jahve mi reče: 'Idi, prorokuj mojemu narodu Izraelu.'
16 Now therefore heare thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophecie not against Israel, and speake nothing against the house of Izhak.
Sada čuj riječ Jahvinu. Ti veliš: 'Ne prorokuj protiv Izraela, ne proriči protiv doma Izakova.'
17 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Thy wife shall be an harlot in the citie, and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be deuided by line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall surely go into captiuitie forth of his land.
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.'”
