Amos 5
1 You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
Poslušajte to besedo, ki jo vzdigujem zoper vas, celó žalostinko, oh Izraelova hiša.
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.”
Devica Izrael je padla, ne bo več vstala, zapuščena je na svoji zemlji, tam ni nikogar, ki bi jo vzdignil.
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.”
Kajti tako govori Gospod Bog: »Mestu, ki je šlo ven po tisoč, jih preostane sto in tistemu, ki je šlo naprej po sto, jih preostane deset, Izraelovi hiši.«
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.
Kajti tako govori Gospod Izraelovi hiši: »Iščite me in boste živeli,
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.”
toda ne iščite Betela niti ne vstopajte v Gilgál in ne prečkajte v Beeršébo, kajti Gilgál bo zagotovo šel v ujetništvo in Betel bo prišel v nič.
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.
Iščite Gospoda in boste živeli, da ne izbruhne kakor ogenj v Jožefovi hiši in jo použije in tam ne bo nikogar, da bi jo gasil v Betelu.
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.
Vi, ki prevračate sodbo v grenkobo in opuščate pravičnost na zemlji,
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.
iščite njega, ki določa sedem zvezd in Orion in obrača senco smrti v jutro in dan mrači z nočjo, ki kliče po vodah morja in jih izliva na obličje zemlje, Gospod je njegovo ime,
9 He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
ki jača oplenjenega zoper močnega, tako da bo oplenjeni prišel zoper trdnjavo.
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.
Sovražijo tistega, ki graja v velikih vratih in prezirajo tistega, ki govori iskreno.
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.
Ker kakor je torej vaše mendranje nad revnim in vi od njega jemljete bremena žita; zgradili ste hiše iz klesanega kamna, toda ne boste prebivali v njih; sadili ste prijetne vinograde, toda ne boste pili vina od njih.
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.
Kajti jaz poznam vaše mnogotere prestopke in vaše mogočne grehe; stiskajo pravičnega, jemljejo podkupnino in v velikih vratih revne odvračajo od njihove pravice.
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].
Zato bo v tem času razsoden molčal, kajti to je hud čas.
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].
Iščite dobro in ne zla, da boste lahko živeli in tako bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, z vami, kakor ste govorili.
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.
Sovražite zlo in ljubite dobro in vzpostavite sodbo v velikih vratih. Morda bo Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, milostljiv Jožefovemu preostanku.«
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].
Zato Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, Gospod, tako govori: »Tarnanje bo na vseh ulicah in na vseh glavnih cestah bodo govorili: ›Ojoj! Ojoj!‹ in poklicali bodo poljedelca, da žaluje in tiste, ki so vešči objokovanja, da tarnajo.
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!”
In v vseh vinogradih bo tarnanje, kajti jaz pojdem skozte, « govori Gospod.
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.
»Gorje vam, ki si želite Gospodovega dneva! Čemu vam bo to? Dan Gospodov je tema in ne svetloba.
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.
Kakor če je človek pobegnil pred levom in ga je srečal medved; ali odšel v hišo in svojo roko naslonil na zid in ga je pičila kača.
20 That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
Mar ne bo Gospodov dan tema in ne svetloba? Celo zelo temen in nobenega svetlikanja v njem?
21 [Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
Sovražim, preziram vaše praznične dni in nočem povonjati vaših slovesnih zborov.
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.
Čeprav mi darujete žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, jih ne bom sprejel niti se ne bom oziral na mirovne daritve vaših debelih živali.
23 So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
Šum svojih pesmi vzemi proč od mene, kajti ne bom poslušal melodije tvojih lir.
24 Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
Temveč naj sodba teče dol kakor vode in pravičnost kakor mogočen vodotok.
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!
Mar ste mi darovali klavne daritve in jedilne daritve štirideset let v divjini, oh hiša Izraelova?
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].
Toda nosili ste šotor svojega Moloha in Kijúna, svojih podob, zvezdo svojega boga, kar ste si naredili zase.
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!”
Zatorej vam bom povzročil, da greste v ujetništvo onkraj Damaska, « govori Gospod, čigar ime je Bog nad bojevniki.
