Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
Èujte rijeè koju govori Gospod za vas, sinovi Izrailjevi, za sve pleme koje sam izveo iz zemlje Misirske, govoreæi:
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
Samo vas poznah izmeðu svijeh plemena zemaljskih, zato æu vas pohoditi za sva bezakonja vaša.
3 Will two walk together, except they have agreed?
Hoæe li dvojica iæi zajedno, ako se ne sastanu?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Hoæe li riknuti lav u šumi, ako nema lova? hoæe li laviæ pustiti glas svoj iz peæine svoje, ako ne uhvati što?
5 Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
Hoæe li ptica pasti u mrežu na zemlju, ako nema zamke? hoæe li se dignuti mreža sa zemlje, ako se ništa ne uhvati?
6 Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Hoæe li truba trubiti po gradu, a narod da ne dotrèi uplašen? hoæe li biti nesreæa u gradu, a Gospod da je ne uèini?
7 For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
Jer Gospod Gospod ne èini ništa ne otkrivši tajne svoje slugama svojim prorocima.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Kad lav rikne, ko se neæe bojati? kad Gospod reèe, ko neæe prorokovati?
9 Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'
Oglasite po dvorovima Azotskim i po dvorovima u zemlji Misirskoj, i recite: skupite se na gore Samarijske i vidite velike nerede u njoj i nasilje u njoj.
10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Ne znaju èiniti pravo, govori Gospod, sabiraju blago nasiljem i grabežem u dvorima svojim.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: neprijatelj je oko zemlje i oboriæe ti silu tvoju, i oplijeniæe se dvorovi tvoji.
12 Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
Ovako veli Gospod: kao kad pastir istrgne iz usta lavu dvije golijeni ili kraj od uha, tako æe se istrgnuti sinovi Izrailjevi koji sjede u Samariji na uglu od odra i nakraj postelje.
13 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
Èujte i zasvjedoèite u domu Jakovljevu, govori Gospod Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
14 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Kad pohodim Izrailja za grijehe njegove, tada æu pohoditi i oltare Vetiljske, i odbiæe se rogovi oltaru i pašæe na zemlju.
15 And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
I udariæu kuæu zimnu i ljetnu kuæu, i propašæe kuæe od slonove kosti, i nestaæe velikih kuæa, govori Gospod.
