Amos 5
1 You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
Чујте ову реч, нарицање које подижем за вама, доме Израиљев.
2 “You are like [MET] a young woman, but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down and you will never get up again! You will lie on the ground, abandoned, and there will be no one to help you stand up.”
Паде, неће више устати девојка Израиљева; бачена је на земљу своју, нема никога да је подигне.
3 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to the people [MTY] of Israel: [“When your enemies attack you, ] and when 1,000 [of your soldiers] will go [to a battle], there will be only 100 who will survive. When 100 soldiers march out [from a city to fight], there will be only ten who will remain alive.”
Јер овако вели Господ Господ: У граду из ког је излазила хиљада остаће стотина, а из ког је излазила стотина у њему ће остати десет дому Израиљевом.
4 Yahweh continues to say to the people [MTY] of Israel: “You Israeli people, return to me! If you do that, you will continue to remain alive.
Јер овако вели Господ дому Израиљевом: Тражите ме, и бићете живи.
5 Do not go to Bethel to seek [my help]; do not go to Gilgal [to worship]; do not [even] go to Beersheba, because [your enemies] will drag away [the people of] Gilgal to other countries, and Bethel will be completely destroyed.”
А не тражите Ветиља, и не идите у Галгал, и не пролазите у Вирсавеју, јер ће Галгал отићи у ропство, а Ветиљ ће се обратити у ништа.
6 So, come to Yahweh; if you do that, you will remain alive. If you do not do that, Yahweh will descend on you descendants [MTY] of Joseph like [SIM] a fire; that fire will burn everything in Bethel, and (nothing/no one) will be able to save that town.
Тражите Господа и бићете живи, да не обузме дом Јосифов као огањ и спали и не буде никога да гаси Ветиљ.
7 You people distort what is fair/right and cause [people to think that] it is something that is very bitter; you treat good things as though they are evil.
Који обраћате суд у пелен, и правду на земљи обарате.
8 [Do you know who] created all the groups of stars and put them in their places? [Each morning] he causes the darkness to become the dawn, and [each evening] he causes the daylight to become darkness. He scoops up water from the oceans [to become clouds], and then he dumps the water [from the clouds] onto the earth. The one who does those things is named Yahweh.
Оног тражите који је створио звезде, кола и штапе, и који претвара сен смртни у јутро, а дан у тамну ноћ, који дозива воде морске и пролива их по земљи; име Му је Господ.
9 He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
Који подиже погибао на јакога, те погибао дође на град.
10 [He is the one who will punish you] because you hate those who challenge anyone who tries to make unjust decisions, and you hate those who tell the truth in your courts.
Мрзе на оног који кара на вратима, и гаде се на оног који говори право.
11 You oppress poor people and force them to pay big taxes. You have built big stone mansions [for yourselves], but you will not be able to live in them. You have planted vineyards, but there will not be any [grapes for you to harvest to make] wine.
Зато што газите сиромаха и узимате од њега жито у данак, саградисте куће од тесаног камена, али нећете седети у њима; насадисте лепе винограде, али нећете пити вино из њих.
12 I know all of your sins and the terrible crimes that you have committed. You oppress righteous/honest people, and you accept bribes. You do not allow judges to treat poor people justly.
Јер знам безакоња ваша, којих је много, и грехе ваше, који су велики, који мучите праведника, примате поклоне и изврћете правду убогима на вратима.
13 This is a time when [many people do] evil things, so people who have good sense say nothing [when they hear about such things being done].
Зато ће праведни ћутати у ово време, јер је зло време.
14 In order to remain alive, you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right. If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you like you claim [that he always is].
Тражите добро а не зло, да бисте били живи; и тако ће Господ Бог над војскама бити с вама, како рекосте.
15 Love what is good, and hate what is evil! Try to cause [judges] in your courts to make decisions that are right/fair! If you do those things, perhaps the Commander of the armies of angels will act mercifully toward [you descendants of] Joseph who are still alive.
Мрзите на зло и љубите добро, и поставите на вратима суд, не би ли се Господ Бог над војскама смиловао на остатак Јосифов.
16 “Because I, Yahweh, [will punish you for your sins], this is what I have solemnly declared: People will be wailing loudly in every street, and people will be very sorrowful in every plaza. Farmers will be summoned to [come and] weep, along with the other official mourners who will wail [for those who have died].
Зато овако вели Господ Бог над војскама, Господ: Биће тужњава по свим улицама, и по свим путевима говориће: Јаох! Јаох! И зваће ратаре на жалост и на тужњаву оне који умеју нарицати.
17 People will be wailing in your vineyards, because I will punish you [IDM] severely. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
И по свим ће виноградима бити тужњава, јер ћу проћи посред тебе, говори Господ.
18 Terrible things will happen to you who desire that it will soon be the day when Yahweh [will punish your enemies], because that will be a day of darkness, not of light.
Тешко онима који желе дан Господњи! Шта ће вам дан Господњи? Тада је мрак а не видело.
19 [At that time, ] when you try to run from a lion, you will face a bear. When you run into your house [to be safe], and you put your hand on a wall, it will be bitten by a snake.
Као да би ко бежао од лава па би га срео медвед; или као да би ко дошао у кућу и наслонио се руком на зид, па би га змија ујела.
20 That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
Није ли дан Господњи мрак, а не видело? И тама, без светлости?
21 [Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
Мрзим на ваше празнике, одбацио сам их, и нећу да миришем светковина ваших.
22 Even if you bring me offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings of grain, I will no longer accept them. Even if you bring me offerings to renew/maintain fellowship with me, I will not pay any attention to them.
Ако ми принесете жртве паљенице и приносе своје, нећу их примити, и нећу погледати на захвалне жртве од угојене стоке ваше.
23 So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
Уклони од мене буку песама својих, и свирања псалтира твојих, нећу да чујем.
24 Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
Него суд нека тече као вода и правда као силан поток.
25 You Israeli people [MTY], your [ancestors] wandered through the desert for 40 years; and during that time, they never brought any sacrifices and offerings to me!
Јесте ли мени приносили жртве и даре у пустињи четрдесет година, доме Израиљев?
26 But they carried the two idols that they had made— the idols of Succoth, the god [that they considered to be] their king, and Kaiwan, [the image of the] star [that they worshiped].
Него сте носили шатор Молоха свог, и Хијуна, ликове своје, звезду бога свог, које сами себи начинисте.
27 Therefore, now I will force you to go to [a country that is] far beyond Damascus! [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it!”
Зато ћу вас преселити иза Дамаска, говори Господ, коме је име Бог над војскама.
