Amos 8
1 Yahweh showed me [in a vision] a basket full of ripe fruit.
Tako mi je pokazal Gospod Bog in glej, košara poletnega sadja.
2 He asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A basket of [very] ripe fruit.” He said, “That indicates that it almost the end for my Israeli people. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.
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 [Soon, ] instead of singing in the temple, they will be wailing. There will be corpses everywhere [HYP]. So, remain silent (OR, Everyone will be silent). [These things will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
Tempeljske pesmi bodo vpitje na ta dan, « govori Gospod Bog. »Na vsakem kraju bo mnogo trupel; metali jih bodo v tišini.
4 [It is as though] you people trample on needy people, and you destroy the poor people.
Poslušajte to, oh vi, ki pogoltnete pomoči potrebnega, celo da revnemu v deželi storite, da propade,
5 You habitually say, “We wish that [RHQ] the new moon [festival] would end soon, in order that [restrictions on doing business during the festival will be ended] and we can sell grain. We wish that the Sabbath would end soon, in order that we will again be permitted to sell our wheat”— and [when you sell it], you charge a big price for it, and you cheat people by using scales that do not weigh correctly.
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 You sell wheat that you have swept up from the floor, and as a result it is mixed with dirt. Those who are needy and poor [DOU] and who do not have money [to buy things], you cause them to become your slaves by buying them with the [small amount of] silver [with which you could buy] a pair of sandals!
Da lahko ubogega kupimo za srebro in pomoči potrebnega za par čevljev, da, in prodamo pleve od pšenice?‹«
7 Yahweh has declared, “Although you are very proud of [being descendants] [MTY] of Jacob, I solemnly declare that I will not forget the [evil things] that you have done.
Gospod je prisegel pri Jakobovi odličnosti: »Zagotovo ne bom nikoli pozabil nobenega izmed njihovih del.
8 [Because of those evil things], your country will certainly [RHQ] soon be shaken, and all of you will mourn. [It will be as though] it will repeatedly rise and fall like [SIM] the Nile [River] that gets full of water [and overflows it banks] and then settles back into its riverbed.
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 On the day [when I punish my people], I will cause the sun to set at noontime, and the [entire] earth will be dark in the daytime.
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 cause your [religious] celebrations to become times when you mourn; instead of singing, everyone will be weeping. Because of what I [will do], all of you will wear rough sackcloth and shave your heads [to show that you are sorrowing]. I will cause that time to be like when people mourn after an only son [has died]. All of you will be extremely sad all of that 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 And Yahweh our God says this: “It will [soon] be the time when I will cause something to be very scarce [MET] throughout the country. But it will not be a time when there is no food or water; it will instead be a time when there will be no messages from me for anyone to hear.
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 People will stagger from the [Dead] Sea to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and wander from the north to the east, searching for a message from me, but there will not be any.
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 At that time, even beautiful young women and strong young men will faint because of being very thirsty.
Na tisti dan bodo lepe device in mladeniči slabeli zaradi žeje.
14 Those who (make oaths/solemnly promise to do something) using the names of their shameful gods of Samaria, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Dan, and those who solemnly promise to do something [using the name of] the god of Beersheba, will all die; and they will never live 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.«
