Amos 4
1 Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."
Počujte ovu riječ, krave bašanske, što boravite na samarijskoj gori, tlačite potrebite, ugnjetavate siromahe, govorite muževima: “Donesi da pijemo!”
2 Jehovah has sworn by his holiness: "Look, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
Zakle se Jahve Gospod svetošću svojom: “Dolaze vam, evo, dani kad će vas izvlačiti kukama, a posljednju od vas ostima.
3 You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says Jehovah.
Kroz pukotine ćete izlaziti, ne obziruć' se nikamo, i biti bačene prema Hermonu” - riječ je Jahvina.
4 "Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
“Idite samo u Betel i griješite, u Gilgal i množite grijehe svoje! Prinosite svakog jutra žrtve, i desetine svaki treći dan.
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says Jehovah.
Palite tijesto uskislo na žrtvu zahvalnicu, oglasite žrtve dragovoljne, razglasite ih, jer to volite, sinovi Izraelovi” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.
6 "I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
“Zato dadoh da vam zubi čisti ostanu u svim gradovima vašim, ostavih vas bez kruha u svim selima vašim; pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
7 "I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.
“Uskratih vam i kišu tri mjeseca prije žetve; pustih da kiši na jedan grad, al' ne i na drugi; jedno bi se polje nakvasilo, a drugo bi se - na koje ne pustih kiše - sasušilo.
8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
Dva-tri grada lutahu tako u treći da piju vode, ali se ne mogoše napiti, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
9 "I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
“Udarah vas snijeću i medljikom, sasuših vam vrtove i vinograde, proždriješe vam skakavci smokve i masline, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
10 "I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
“Poslah na vas kugu poput kuge egipatske; mladiće vaše poklah mačem, a konji vam bjehu k'o plijen odvedeni; napunih vam nosnice smradom iz tabora vašega, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
11 "I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says Jehovah.
“Obarah vas k'o što Bog obori Sodomu i Gomoru, bijaste k'o glavnja iz ognja istrgnuta, pa ipak se ne obratiste k meni” - riječ je Jahvina.
12 "Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
“Stog ću, Izraele, ovako s tobom postupiti, i jer ću tako s tobom postupiti, pripravi se, Izraele, da susretneš Boga svoga!”
13 For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name."
Jer, gle, on sazda planine i stvori vjetar, otkriva čovjeku misao svoju, on tvori zoru i mrak, i penje se na vrh visova zemaljskih, Jahve, Bog nad Vojskama, njegovo je ime.
