Amos 7
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, sazda skakavce kad otava poče nicati, otava nakon kraljevske kosidbe.
2 And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
Kad izjedoše sav zemaljski usjev, rekoh: “Jahve Gospode, oprosti, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
3 The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD.
I Jahve se stoga pokaja: “Neće biti”, reče Jahve.
4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
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 beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
A ja ću: “Stani, Jahve Gospode, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?”
6 The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.
I Jahve se stog pokaja: “Ni ovoga neće biti”, reče Jahve Gospod.
7 Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
Evo što mi Jahve Gospod pokaza: gle, čovjek stoji na zidu, u ruci mu visak.
8 And the LORD said unto me: 'Amos, what seest thou?' And I said: 'A plumbline.' Then said the Lord: Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel; I will not again pardon them any 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 high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
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 Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
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: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
Jer ovako on govori: 'Jeroboam će poginuti od mača, a Izrael će iz svoje zemlje u izgnanstvo.'”
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there;
Amasja reče Amosu: “Odlazi, vidioče! Bježi u zemlju Judinu, ondje jedi kruh i ondje prorokuj!
13 but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'
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 prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;
“Nisam bio prorok ni proročki sin” - odgovori Amos Amasji - “bio sam stočar i gajio sam divlje smokve:
15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
ali me Jahve uze od stada i Jahve mi reče: 'Idi, prorokuj mojemu narodu Izraelu.'
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;
Sada čuj riječ Jahvinu. Ti veliš: 'Ne prorokuj protiv Izraela, ne proriči protiv doma Izakova.'
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out 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.'”
