Amos 3
1 Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
Poslušajte to besedo, ki jo je Gospod govoril zoper vas, oh Izraelovi otroci, zoper celotno družino, ki sem jo privedel iz egiptovske dežele, rekoč:
2 “I have chosen only you from all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
»Samo vas sem poznal izmed vseh zemeljskih družin, zato vas bom kaznoval zaradi vseh vaših krivičnosti.
3 Will two walk together unless they have agreed?
Mar lahko dva hodita skupaj, razen če se strinjata?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no victim? Will a young lion growl from his den if he has caught nothing?
Ali bo lev rjovel v gozdu, kadar nima plena? Ali bo mlad lev vpil iz svojega brloga, če ni ničesar dobil?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the ground when no bait is set for him? Will a trap spring up from the ground when it has not caught anything?
Ali lahko ptica pade v zanko na tla, kjer zanjo ni nobene pasti? Mar nekdo pobere zanko s tal in ni sploh ničesar ujel?
6 If a trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not tremble? If disaster overtakes a city, has Yahweh not sent it?
Mar bo šofar zatrobil v mestu in ljudstvo ne bo prestrašeno? Mar bo zlo v mestu in Gospod tega ni storil?
7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing unless he reveals his plan to his servants the prophets.
Zagotovo Gospod Bog ne bo storil ničesar, da ne bi svojo skrivnost razodeval svojim služabnikom prerokom.
8 The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who will not prophesy?
Lev je zarjovel, kdo se ne bo bal? Gospod Bog je spregovoril, kdo ne bi prerokoval?
9 Proclaim this in the fortresses at Ashdod, and in the fortresses in the land of Egypt; say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see what great confusion is in her, and what oppression is in her.
Razglasi v palačah pri Ašdódu in v palačah egiptovske dežele in reci: ›Zberite se na gorah Samarije in glejte velike nemire v njeni sredi in zatirane v njeni sredi.‹
10 For they do not know how to do right —this is Yahweh's declaration— They store up violence and destruction in their fortresses.”
Kajti ne znajo delati pravilno, « govori Gospod, »tisti, ki kopičijo nasilje in rop v svojih palačah.«
11 Therefore, this is what the Lord Yahweh says: “An enemy will surround the land, and pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: »Nasprotnik bo celo naokoli dežele in tvojo moč bo privedel dol od tebe in tvoje palače bodo oplenjene.«
12 This is what Yahweh says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs only, or a piece of an ear; so will the people of Israel who live in Samaria be rescued; they will be left with only the corner of a couch or a piece of a bed.”
Tako govori Gospod: »Kakor pastir iz levjih ust izvleče dve nogi ali košček ušesa, tako bodo izvlečeni Izraelovi otroci, ki prebivajo v Samariji, v kotu postelje in na ležišču v Damasku.
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts:
Prisluhnite in pričujte v Jakobovi hiši, « govori Gospod Bog, Bog nad bojevniki,
14 “For in the day that I punish the sins of Israel, I will also punish the altars of Bethel. The horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
»da na dan, ko bom na njem obiskal Izraelove prestopke, bom obiskal tudi oltarje Betela in oltarni rogovi bodo odsekani in padli na tla.
15 I will destroy the winter house with the summer house. The houses of ivory will perish, and the large houses will vanish, —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Zimsko hišo bom udaril s poletno hišo [vred] in slonokoščene hiše bodo izginile in velike hiše bodo uničene, « govori Gospod.
