< Amos 1 >

1 Words of Amos—who has been among herdsmen of Tekoa—that he has seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the shaking;
Besede Amosa, ki je bil med čredniki iz Tekóe, ki jih je videl glede Izraela v dneh Uzíjaha, Judovega kralja in v dneh Jerobeáma, Jehoáševega sina, Izraelovega kralja, dve leti pred potresom.
2 and he says, “YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And pastures of the shepherds have mourned, And the top of Carmel has withered!”
Rekel je: » Gospod bo rjovel iz Siona in izustil svoj glas iz Jeruzalema in prebivališča pastirjev bodo žalovala in vrh Karmela se bo posušil.«
3 And thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing Gilead with sharp-pointed irons,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Damaska in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so Gileád mlatili z mlatilnimi orodji iz železa.
4 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it has consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
Temveč bom poslal ogenj v Hazaélovo hišo, ki bo použil Ben Hadádove palače.
5 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a scepter from Beth-Eden, And the people of Aram have been removed to Kir,” said YHWH.
Zlomil bom tudi zapah Damaska in iztrebil prebivalca iz ravnine Aven in tistega, ki drži žezlo, iz edenske hiše in ljudstvo iz Sirije bo šlo v ujetništvo v Kir, « govori Gospod.
6 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Gaze in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njene kazni, ker so odvedli proč ujete, celotno ujetništvo, da jih izročijo Edómu;
7 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it has consumed her palaces;
toda poslal bom ogenj na obzidje Gaze, ki bo pogoltnil njene palače
8 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder of a scepter from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand against Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines have perished,” said Lord YHWH.
in iztrebil bom prebivalca iz Ašdóda in tistega, ki drži žezlo iz Aškelóna. Svojo roko bom obrnil zoper Ekrón in preostanek Filistejcev bo izginil, « govori Gospod Bog.
9 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Tyre, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a complete captivity to Edom, And they did not remember the brotherly covenant,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Tira in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so celotno ujetništvo izročili Edómu in se niso spomnili bratske zaveze.
10 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it has consumed her palaces.”
Toda jaz bom na obzidje Tira poslal ogenj, ki bo požrl njegove palače.«
11 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing his brother with a sword, And he has destroyed his mercies, And his anger tears continuously, And his wrath—he has kept it forever,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Edóma in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker je svojega brata zasledoval z mečem in zavrgel vse usmiljenje in je njegova jeza neprestano trgala in je svoj bes ohranjal na veke;
12 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it has consumed palaces of Bozrah.”
toda poslal bom ogenj nad Temán, ki bo požrl palače v Bocri.«
13 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border,
Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Amónovih otrok in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so razparali nosečnice iz Gileáda, da bi lahko razširili svojo mejo.
14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
Toda jaz bom zanetil ogenj na obzidju Rabe in ta bo požrl njene palače z vpitjem na dan bitke, z viharjem na dan vrtinčastega vetra.
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
Njihov kralj bo šel v ujetništvo, on in njegovi princi skupaj, « govori Gospod.
