Amos 7

1 Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, see, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

Ovo mi pokaza Gospod Gospod: gle, sazdavaše skakavce kad poèinjaše nicati otava, i gle, bijaše otava po carevoj kosidbi.

2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

A kad pojedoše travu zemaljsku, tada rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, smiluj se; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.

3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.

Gospod se raskaja za to: neæe biti, reèe Gospod.

4 Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

Tada mi pokaza Gospod Gospod, i gle, Gospod Gospod povika da æe suditi ognjem; i oganj proždrije veliku bezdanu i proždrije dio zemlje.

5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

A ja rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, prestani; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.

6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, says the Lord GOD.

Gospod se raskaja za to: ni to neæe biti, reèe Gospod Gospod.

7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood on a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

Tada mi pokaza, i gle, Gospod stajaše na zidu sazidanu po mjerilima, i u ruci mu bjehu mjerila.

8 And the LORD said to me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumb line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

I reèe mi Gospod: što vidiš, Amose? I rekoh: mjerila. A Gospod mi reèe: evo, ja æu metnuti mjerila posred naroda svojega Izrailja, neæu ga više prolaziti.

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.

Jer æe se razoriti visine Isakove, i svetinje æe Izrailjeve opustjeti, i ustaæu na dom Jerovoamov s maèem.

10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

Tada Amasija sveštenik Vetiljski posla k Jerovoamu caru Izrailjevu i poruèi mu: Amos diže bunu na te usred doma Izrailjeva, zemlja ne može podnijeti svijeh rijeèi njegovijeh.

11 For thus Amos says, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

Jer ovako govori Amos: Jerovoam æe poginuti od maèa, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz zemlje svoje u ropstvo.

12 Also Amaziah said to Amos, O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

Potom reèe Amasija Amosu: vidioèe, idi, bježi u zemlju Judinu, i ondje jedi hljeb i ondje prorokuj;

13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.

A u Vetilju više ne prorokuj, jer je svetinja careva i dom je carski.

14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

A Amos odgovori i reèe Amasiji: ne bjeh prorok ni proroèki sin, nego bjeh govedar i brah dudove;

15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

A Gospod me uze od stada i reèe mi Gospod: idi, prorokuj narodu mojemu Izrailju.

16 Now therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You say, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house of Isaac.

Sada dakle èuj rijeè Gospodnju. Ti kažeš: ne prorokuj u Izrailju, i ne kropi po domu Isakovu.

17 Therefore thus says the LORD; Your wife shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Zato ovako veli Gospod: žena æe ti se kurvati u gradu, i sinovi æe tvoji i kæeri tvoje pasti od maèa, i zemlja æe se tvoja razdijeliti užem, i ti æeš umrijeti u neèistoj zemlji, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz svoje zemlje u ropstvo.
