Amos 8

1 This is what Jehovah showed me: And look, a basket of summer fruit.

Tako mi je pokazal Gospod Bog in glej, košara poletnega sadja.

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.

Rekel je: »Amos, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Košaro poletnega sadja.« Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Konec je prišel nad moje ljudstvo Izrael; ne bom ponovno šel mimo njih.

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.

Tempeljske pesmi bodo vpitje na ta dan, « govori Gospod Bog. »Na vsakem kraju bo mnogo trupel; metali jih bodo v tišini.

4 Hear this, you who trample the needy, and destroy the poor of the land,

Poslušajte to, oh vi, ki pogoltnete pomoči potrebnega, celo da revnemu v deželi storite, da propade,

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;

rekoč: ›Kdaj bo minil mlaj, da bomo lahko prodajali žito? In šabat, da bomo lahko odpremili pšenico, naredili škaf majhen in šekel velik in s prevaro izkrivili tehtnice?

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 lahko ubogega kupimo za srebro in pomoči potrebnega za par čevljev, da, in prodamo pleve od pšenice?‹«

7 Jehovah has sworn by the pride of Jacob, "Surely I will never forget any of their works.

Gospod je prisegel pri Jakobovi odličnosti: »Zagotovo ne bom nikoli pozabil nobenega izmed njihovih del.

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.

Mar ne bo zemlja zaradi tega trepetala in vsak človek žaloval, ki prebiva na njej? Vstala bo v celoti kakor poplava, vržena bo ven in potopljena, kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.

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.

Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom soncu povzročil, da zaide opoldan in na jasen dan bom zatemnil zemljo.

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.

Vaše praznike bom obrnil v žalovanje in vse vaše pesmi v žalostinko in privedel bom vrečevino na vsa ledja in plešavost na vsako glavo in naredil jo bom kakor žalovanje za edinim sinom in njen konec kakor grenek dan.

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.

Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom v deželo poslal lakoto, ne lakote po kruhu niti žeje po vodi, temveč [lakoto] po poslušanju Gospodovih besed.

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.

Tavali bodo od morja do morja in od severa, celo do vzhoda, tekali bodo sem ter tja, da iščejo besedo od Gospoda, pa je ne bodo našli.

13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.

Na tisti dan bodo lepe device in mladeniči slabeli zaradi žeje.

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."

Tisti, ki prisegajo pri grehu Samarije in pravijo: ›Tvoj bog, oh Dan, živi; ‹ in: ›Način Beeršébe živi; ‹ celo padli bodo in nikoli več ne bodo ponovno vstali.«
