Amos 5
1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:
Poslušajte to besedo, ki jo vzdigujem zoper vas, celó žalostinko, oh Izraelova hiša.
2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.”
Devica Izrael je padla, ne bo več vstala, zapuščena je na svoji zemlji, tam ni nikogar, ki bi jo vzdignil.
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.”
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: »Mestu, ki je šlo ven po tisoč, jih preostane sto in tistemu, ki je šlo naprej po sto, jih preostane deset, Izraelovi hiši.«
4 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live,
Kajti tako govori Gospod Izraelovi hiši: »Iščite me in boste živeli,
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.
toda ne iščite Betela niti ne vstopajte v Gilgál in ne prečkajte v Beeršébo, kajti Gilgál bo zagotovo šel v ujetništvo in Betel bo prišel v nič.
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—
Iščite Gospoda in boste živeli, da ne izbruhne kakor ogenj v Jožefovi hiši in jo použije in tam ne bo nikogar, da bi jo gasil v Betelu.
7 You who are turning judgment to wormwood, And have put down righteousness to the earth!”
Vi, ki prevračate sodbo v grenkobo in opuščate pravičnost na zemlji,
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;
iščite njega, ki določa sedem zvezd in Orion in obrača senco smrti v jutro in dan mrači z nočjo, ki kliče po vodah morja in jih izliva na obličje zemlje, Gospod je njegovo ime,
9 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And the spoiled comes against a fortress.
ki jača oplenjenega zoper močnega, tako da bo oplenjeni prišel zoper trdnjavo.
10 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And they detest a plain speaker.
Sovražijo tistega, ki graja v velikih vratih in prezirajo tistega, ki govori iskreno.
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.
Ker kakor je torej vaše mendranje nad revnim in vi od njega jemljete bremena žita; zgradili ste hiše iz klesanega kamna, toda ne boste prebivali v njih; sadili ste prijetne vinograde, toda ne boste pili vina od njih.
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.
Kajti jaz poznam vaše mnogotere prestopke in vaše mogočne grehe; stiskajo pravičnega, jemljejo podkupnino in v velikih vratih revne odvračajo od njihove pravice.
13 Therefore the wise is silent at that time, For it [is] an evil time.
Zato bo v tem času razsoden molčal, kajti to je hud čas.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live, and it is so; YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as you said.
Iščite dobro in ne zla, da boste lahko živeli in tako bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, z vami, kakor ste govorili.
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.
Sovražite zlo in ljubite dobro in vzpostavite sodbo v velikih vratih. Morda bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, milostljiv Jožefovemu preostanku.«
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.
Zato Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Gospod, tako govori: »Tarnanje bo na vseh ulicah in na vseh glavnih cestah bodo govorili: ›Ojoj! Ojoj!‹ in poklicali bodo poljedelca, da žaluje in tiste, ki so vešči objokovanja, da tarnajo.
17 And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into your midst,” said YHWH.
In v vseh vinogradih bo tarnanje, kajti jaz pojdem skozte, « govori Gospod.
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,
»Gorje vam, ki si želite Gospodovega dneva! Čemu vam bo to? Dan Gospodov je tema in ne svetloba.
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.
Kakor če je človek pobegnil pred levom in ga je srečal medved; ali odšel v hišo in svojo roko naslonil na zid in ga je pičila kača.
20 Is not the Day of YHWH darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that has no brightness?
Mar ne bo Gospodov dan tema in ne svetloba? Celo zelo temen in nobenega svetlikanja v njem?
21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.
Sovražim, preziram vaše praznične dni in nočem povonjati vaših slovesnih zborov.
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.
Čeprav mi darujete žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, jih ne bom sprejel niti se ne bom oziral na mirovne daritve vaših debelih živali.
23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments.
Šum svojih pesmi vzemi proč od mene, kajti ne bom poslušal melodije tvojih lir.
24 And judgment rolls on as waters, And righteousness as a perennial stream.
Temveč naj sodba teče dol kakor vode in pravičnost kakor mogočen vodotok.
25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Mar ste mi darovali klavne daritve in jedilne daritve štirideset let v divjini, oh hiša Izraelova?
26 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that you made for yourselves.
Toda nosili ste šotor svojega Moloha in Kijúna, svojih podob, zvezdo svojega boga, kar ste si naredili zase.
27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
Zatorej vam bom povzročil, da greste v ujetništvo onkraj Damaska, « govori Gospod, čigar ime je Bog nad bojevniki.
