Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
Počujte ovu riječ što je iznosim protiv vas, naricaljku, dome Izraelov:
2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
Pade i više neće ustati djevica izraelska. Na tlu svojem ona leži, nikog da je digne.
3 For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, Leaves one hundred, And that which is going out one hundred, Leaves ten to the house of Israel.”
Jer ovako govori Jahve Gospod domu Izraelovu: u gradu iz kojeg izlažaše tisuća, ostat će stotina, iz kojeg izlažaše stotina, ostat će ih deset.
4 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
Jer ovako govori Jahve domu Izraelovu: “Tražite i živjet ćete.
5 And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, For Gilgal utterly removes, And Beth-El becomes vanity.
Ne tražite Betela, ne idite u Gilgal, ne putujte u Beer Šebu, jer će Gilgal bit odveden u izgnanstvo, a Betel će se prometnuti u ništa.
6 Seek YHWH, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, And it has consumed, And there is no quencher for Beth-El—
Tražite Jahvu i živjet ćete, il' će ko' oganj zahvatiti kuću Josipovu i sažeć' je, a u Betelu nikog da plamen ugasi.”
7 You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
Jao onima koji pravdu pretvaraju u pelin, u prah bacaju poštenje!
8 The Maker of the Pleiades and Orion, And He who is turning death-shade to the morning—And He has made day [as] dark [as] night—Who is calling to the waters of the sea, And pours them on the face of the earth, YHWH [is] His Name;
On napravi Vlašiće i Štapce, on obrće mrak u zoru, a dan u najglušu noć. On saziva morske vode i valja ih preko lica zemlje. Jahve mu je ime.
9 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
Nenadano šalje pustoš na tvrđavu i utvrdi propast nosi.
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
Mrze čovjeka što na vratima pravdu dijeli i grde onog što zbori pošteno.
11 Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of grain you take from him, Houses of hewn work you have built, And you do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards you have planted, And you do not drink their wine.
Stoga, jer gazite siromaha, dižući od njega porez u žitu - u kućama što ih sazdaste od tesanika nikad živjet' nećete; iz ljupkih vinograda što ih posadiste nikad nećete piti vina.
12 For I have known—many [are] your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And you turned aside the needy in the gate.
Jer znam mnoge vaše zločine, i vaše grijehe pregoleme: tlačite pravednika i primate mito, odbijajuć' siromaha na gradskim vratima.
13 Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
Mudrac šuti u ovo vrijeme, jer vremena su tako zla.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
Tražite dobro, a ne zlo, da biste živjeli, i da Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, odista s vama bude kao što velite da jest.
15 Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be YHWH, God of Hosts, pities the remnant of Joseph.
Mrzite zlo, ljubite dobro, držite pravicu na gradskim vratima, pa će se možda Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, smilovat' ostatku Josipovu.
16 Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, And in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, And the skillful of wailing to lamentation.
Stog ovako govori Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, Gospod: “Na svakom će trgu biti kuknjava, po svim će ulicama zapomagati: 'Jao! Jao!' Težake će sazvat' da jauču, narikače da nariču,
17 And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
bit će jauk u svakom vinogradu, jer ću proći posred tebe” - veli Jahve.
18 Behold, you who are desiring the Day of YHWH, Why [is] this to you—the Day of YHWH? It is darkness, and not light,
“Jao vama što žudite za danom Jahvinim! Što će vam biti dan Jahvin? Tama, a ne svjetlost.
19 As [when] one flees from the face of the lion, And the bear has met him, And he has come into the house, And has leaned his hand on the wall, And the serpent has bitten him.
Bit će vam k'o onom što uteče lavljim raljama, a sretne ga medvjed; koji uđe u kuću i stavi ruku na zid, a ujede ga zmija.
20 Is not the Day of YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
Neće li dan Jahvin biti tama, a ne svjetlost? Mrklina, a ne sunčan sjaj?
21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
Mrzim i prezirem vaše blagdane i nisu mi mile vaše svečanosti.
22 For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings.
Paljenice kad mi prinosite, prinosnice mi vaše nisu mile, na pričesnice se od ugojenih telaca vaših i ne osvrćem.
23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
Uklonite od mene dreku svojih pjesama, neću da slušam zvuke vaših harfa.
24 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
Pravda nek' poteče kao voda i pravica k'o bujica silna.
25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinos u pustinji četrdeset godina, dome Izraelov?
26 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
Nosit ćete Sikuta, svoga kralja, i Kevana, boga svoga, likove što ih sebi napraviste,
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
dok vas budem odvodio onkraj Damaska,” govori Jahve - Bog nad Vojskama njemu je ime.
