Amos 3
1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from 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 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.”
Samo vas poznah izmeðu svijeh plemena zemaljskih, zato æu vas pohoditi za sva bezakonja vaša.
3 Do two walk together if they have not met?
Hoæe li dvojica iæi zajedno, ako se ne sastanu?
4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, If he has not caught?
Hoæe li riknuti lav u šumi, ako nema lova? hoæe li laviæ pustiti glas svoj iz peæine svoje, ako ne uhvati što?
5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, And it does not capture prey?
Hoæe li ptica pasti u mrežu na zemlju, ako nema zamke? hoæe li se dignuti mreža sa zemlje, ako se ništa ne uhvati?
6 Is a horn blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And YHWH has 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 Lord YHWH does nothing, Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
Jer Gospod Gospod ne èini ništa ne otkrivši tajne svoje slugama svojim prorocima.
8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy?
Kad lav rikne, ko se neæe bojati? kad Gospod reèe, ko neæe prorokovati?
9 “Sound to palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.
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 And they have not known to act straightforwardly,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.”
Ne znaju èiniti pravo, govori Gospod, sabiraju blago nasiljem i grabežem u dvorima svojim.
11 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “An adversary—and surrounding the land, And he has brought down your strength from you, And your palaces have been spoiled.”
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: neprijatelj je oko zemlje i oboriæe ti silu tvoju, i oplijeniæe se dvorovi tvoji.
12 Thus said YHWH: “As the shepherd delivers from the lion’s mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So the sons of Israel are delivered, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch.
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 and testify to the house of Jacob,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, God of Hosts.
Èujte i zasvjedoèite u domu Jakovljevu, govori Gospod Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
14 “For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And the horns of the altar have been cut off, And they have fallen to the earth.
Kad pohodim Izrailja za grijehe njegove, tada æu pohoditi i oltare Vetiljske, i odbiæe se rogovi oltaru i pašæe na zemlju.
15 And I have struck the winter-house with the summer-house, And houses of ivory have perished, And many houses have been consumed,” A declaration of YHWH!
I udariæu kuæu zimnu i ljetnu kuæu, i propašæe kuæe od slonove kosti, i nestaæe velikih kuæa, govori Gospod.
