Amos 8
1 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.
Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, kotarica zrela ploda:
2 He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Jehovah said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
“Što vidiš, Amose?” - upita me. “Kotaricu zrela ploda”, rekoh. Tada mi Jahve reče: “Moj narod izraelski dozreo je za propast; neću ga više štedjeti.
3 The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day," says Jehovah. "The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
I hramske će pjevačice jaukati toga dana - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - bit će mnoštvo trupla, svuda će se bacati.”
4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,
Slušajte ovo, vi što gazite potrebnika i satirete uboge u zemlji!
5 saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
Kažete: “Kad li će mlađak proći, da prodamo žito, i subota, da tržimo pšenicu. Smanjujuć' efu, povećavajući šekel, da varamo krivim mjerama:
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"
da kupimo siromaha za novac, potrebita za sandale, i da prodajemo otražak od žita.
7 Jehovah has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Zakle se Jahve Ponosom Jakovljevim: “Dovijeka neću zaboraviti nijednoga vašeg djela.”
8 Won't the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
Neće l' se od toga zemlja potresti, protužiti svi njeni stanovnici, neće li se sva podići kao Nil, spustiti kao Rijeka egipatska?
9 It will happen in that day," says Jehovah, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
“Toga ću dana - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - učiniti da sunce zapadne u podne, i pomračit ću zemlju u po bijela dana.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
Okrenut ću svetkovine vaše u kuknjavu i sve vaše pjevanje u tužaljku; obući ću u kostrijet svako bedro, oćelavit ću svaku glavu. Bit će kao kad se tuži za jedincem, i što ostane, bit će kao dan gorčine.”
11 Look, the days come," says Jehovah, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of Jehovah.
“Evo, dani dolaze - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - kad ću poslati glad na zemlju, ne glad kruha ni žeđ vode, već slušanja riječi Jahvine.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Jehovah, and will not find it.
Tumarat će od mora do mora, od sjevera do istoka potucati se ištući riječ Jahvinu, ali je neće naći.
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
U onaj će dan obamirati od žeđi lijepe djevojke i mladići.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;' and, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;' they will fall, and never rise up again."
Koji se kunu Grijehom samarijskim i zaklinju se: 'Tako živ bio bog tvoj, Dane!' i: 'Tako živ bio Ljubimac tvoj, Beer Šebo!' oni će pasti i nikad ustati neće.”
