Amos 4
1 You [wealthy women] of Samaria [have grown fat like] [MET] the fat cows of the Bashan [region]. You oppress poor people and you cause needy people to suffer. And you say to your husbands, “Bring us [more wine] to drink!”
Èujte ovu rijeè, krave Vasanske, koje ste u gori Samarijskoj, koje krivo èinite ubogima i satirete siromahe, koje govorite gospodarima svojim: donesite da pijemo.
2 But Yahweh [our] God has said this: “Because I am holy, I solemnly promise this: It will [soon] be the time when you all will be taken [to another country]; [your enemies will take you away as though they are] using sharp hooks [DOU] [to grab you].
Zakle se Gospod Gospod svetošæu svojom da æe vam evo doæi dani, te æe vas izvlaèiti kukama, i ostatak vaš udicama ribarskim.
3 [Your enemies] will drag you out through breaks/holes [in your city walls], and they will throw you outside the city. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!
I kroz prolome æete ižljesti, svaka na prema se, i pobacaæete što bude u dvorovima, govori Gospod.
4 Go to Bethel and Gilgal [towns where many people worship me] and sin more and more [SAR]! [I say that not because I want you to do it], [but because it is what you have always been doing]! Offer sacrifices on the morning [after you arrive], [and bring me] (a tithe/one tenth) of your crops the next day.
Idite u Vetilj, i èinite bezakonje, u Galgalu množite bezakonje svoje, i prinosite svako jutro žrtve svoje, treæe godine desetke svoje;
5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me, and [other] offerings that are not required/commanded, and boast about [these offerings that you bring], because that is what you like to do, [but you do it to impress others, not to please me]. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it.
I palite žrtvu zahvalnu od hljeba kiseloga, i oglasite žrtve dragovoljne i razglasite, jer vam je tako milo, sinovi Izrailjevi, govori Gospod Gospod.
6 I [am the one who] caused there to be no food in any of your cities and towns [DOU], but you rejected me in spite of that.
I zato vam ja dadoh da su vam èisti zubi po svijem gradovima vašim i da nema hljeba nigdje po svijem mjestima vašim; ali se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
7 When it was still three months before [the time of] harvesting [crops], [at the time when your crops needed rain the most], I prevented rain from falling. [Sometimes] I allowed rain to fall on some towns and prevented it from falling on other towns. Rain fell on some fields, but it did not fall on other fields, with the result that [the soil in] those fields [where it did not rain] dried up.
A ja vam ustegoh dažd, kad još tri mjeseca bijahu do žetve, i pustih dažd na jedan grad, a na drugi grad ne pustih dažda, jedan se kraj nakvasi, a drugi kraj, na koji ne daždje, posuši se.
8 People would stagger from one town to another town to find water, but they could not even get enough water to drink, but in spite of that, you have not returned to me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Tako dva i tri grada iðahu u jedan grad da piju vode, i ne mogahu se napiti; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
9 I caused your grain fields to dry up; I caused your gardens and vineyards to be struck/destroyed by (blight/hot winds) and mildew. [I sent] locusts to eat [the leaves on] your fig trees and olive trees, but in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Bih vas sušom i medljikom; gusjenice izjedoše obilje u vrtovima vašim i u vinogradima vašim i na smokvama vašim i na maslinama vašim; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
10 I caused you to experience (plagues/severe sicknesses) like the plagues [that I sent to the people] of Egypt. I caused [many of] your young men to die in battles. I allowed [your enemies] to capture your horses. [Many of your soldiers were killed, ] and I caused your camps to be filled with the smell/stink of their [decaying] corpses. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
Poslah u vas pomor kao u Misir, pobih maèem mladiæe vaše i odvedoh konje vaše, i uèinih te se podizaše smrad iz okola vašega i u nozdrve vaše; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
11 I got rid of many of you, like I got rid of [the people in] Sodom and Gomorrah. [Those of] you who [did not die] were like [SIM] a burning stick that was snatched from a fire [so that it would not burn completely]. But in spite of that, you rejected me. [That is certainly true, because I], Yahweh, have said it!
Zatirah vas kao što Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor, i bijaste kao glavnja istrgnuta iz ognja; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
12 So [now], you [people of] Israel, I am going to punish you. Prepare to stand in front of me, your God, [when I judge you]!
Zato æu ti tako uèiniti, Izrailju; i što æu ti tako uèiniti, pripravi se, Izrailju, da sreteš Boga svojega.
13 I created the mountains, and [I] created winds. I reveal to humans what I am thinking. I [sometimes] cause the daylight to become dark [like the night]. I [rule over everything]; I [even] walk on the highest mountains on the earth! I am the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Jer eto onoga koji je sazdao gore i koji je stvorio vjetar i javlja èovjeku što misli, èini od zore tamu, i hodi po visinama zemaljskim; ime mu je Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
