Amos 5
1 Hear you this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
Èujte ovu rijeè, naricanje koje podižem za vama, dome Izrailjev.
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none that shall raise her up.
Pade, neæe više ustati djevojka Izrailjeva; baèena je na zemlju svoju, nema nikoga da je podigne.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord God; The city out of which there went forth a thousand, [in it] there shall be left a hundred, and [in that] out of which there went forth a hundred, there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.
Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u gradu iz kojega je izlazila tisuæa ostaæe stotina, a iz kojega je izlazila stotina u njemu æe ostati deset domu Izrailjevu.
4 Therefore thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live.
Jer ovako veli Gospod domu Izrailjevu: tražite me, i biæete živi.
5 But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgala, and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall be as that which is not.
A ne tražite Vetilja, i ne idite u Galgal, i ne prolazite u Virsaveju, jer æe Galgal otiæi u ropstvo, a Vetilj æe se obratiti u ništa.
6 Seek you the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.
Tražite Gospoda i biæete živi, da ne obuzme doma Josifova kao oganj i spali i ne bude nikoga da gasi Vetilj.
7 [It is he] that executes judgment in the height [above], and he has established justice on the earth:
Koji obraæate sud u pelen, i pravdu na zemlju obarate,
8 who makes all things, and changes [them], and turns darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night: who calls for the water of the sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:
Onoga tražite koji je stvorio zvijezde kola i štape, i koji pretvara sjen smrtni u jutro a dan u tamnu noæ, koji doziva vode morske i proljeva ih po zemlji; ime mu je Gospod.
9 who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress upon the fortress.
Koji podiže pogibao na jakoga, te pogibao doðe na grad.
10 They hated him that reproved in the gates, and abhorred holy speech.
Mrze na onoga koji kara na vratima, i gade se na onoga koji govori pravo.
11 Therefore because they have struck the poor with their fists, and you have received of them choice gifts; you have built polished houses, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink the wine of them.
Zato što gazite siromaha i uzimate od njega žito u danak, sagradiste kuæe od tesana kamena, ali neæete sjedjeti u njima; nasadiste lijepe vinograde, ali neæete piti vina iz njih.
12 For I know your many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking bribes, and turning aside [the judgment of] the poor in the gates.
Jer znam bezakonja vaša, kojih je mnogo, i grijehe vaše, koji su veliki, koji muèite pravednika, primate poklone i izvræete pravdu ubogima na vratima.
13 Therefore the prudent shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils.
Zato æe pravedni muèati u ovo vrijeme, jer je zlo vrijeme.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with you, as you have said,
Tražite dobro a ne zlo, da biste bili živi; i tako æe Gospod Bog nad vojskama biti s vama, kako rekoste.
15 We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore you judgment in the gates; that the Lord God Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
Mrzite na zlo i ljubite dobro, i postavite na vratima sud, ne bi li se Gospod Bog nad vojskama smilovao na ostatak Josifov.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God Almighty; In all the streets [shall be] lamentations; and in all the ways shall it be said, Woe, woe! the husbandman shall be called to mourning and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod: biæe tužnjava po svijem ulicama, i po svijem putovima govoriæe: jaoh! jaoh! i zvaæe ratare na žalost i na tužnjavu one koji umiju naricati.
17 And [there shall be] lamentation in all the ways; because I will pass through the midst of you, says the Lord.
I po svijem æe vinogradima biti tužnjava, jer æu proæi posred tebe, govori Gospod.
18 Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas it is darkness, and not light.
Teško onima koji žele dan Gospodnji! što æe vam dan Gospodnji? tada je mrak a ne vidjelo.
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
Kao da bi ko bježao od lava pa bi ga sreo medvjed; ili kao da bi ko došao u kuæu i naslonio se rukom na zid, pa bi ga zmija ujela.
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this [day] gloom without brightness?
Nije li dan Gospodnji mrak a ne vidjelo? i tama, bez svjetlosti?
21 I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell [your] meat-offerings in your general assemblies.
Mrzim na vaše praznike, odbacio sam ih, i neæu da mirišem svetkovina vaših.
22 Therefore if you should bring me your whole burnt sacrifices and meat-offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I have respect to your grand peace-offerings.
Ako mi prinesete žrtve paljenice i prinose svoje, neæu ih primiti, i neæu pogledati na zahvalne žrtve od ugojene stoke vaše.
23 Remove from me the sound of your songs, and I will not hear the music of your instruments.
Ukloni od mene buku pjesama svojih, i sviranja psaltira tvojih neæu da èujem.
24 But let judgment roll down as water, and righteousness as an impassable torrent.
Nego sud neka teèe kao voda i pravda kao silan potok.
25 Have you offered to me victims and sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness?
Jeste li meni prinosili žrtve i dare u pustinji èetrdeset godina, dome Izrailjev?
26 Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Raephan, the images of them which you made for yourselves.
Nego ste nosili šator Moloha svojega, i Hijuna, likove svoje, zvijezdu boga svojega, koje sami sebi naèiniste.
27 And I will carry you away beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the Almighty God is his name.
Zato æu vas preseliti iza Damaska, govori Gospod, kojemu je ime Bog nad vojskama.
