Amos 9
1 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith: 'Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by the head — all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth a fugitive.
Vidjeh Gospoda gdje stoji kraj žrtvenika i govori: “Udari u glavice stupova, neka se pragovi zatresu! Svima ću satrti glave, što ostane, pod mač ću udariti. Nijedan neće uteći, nitko se neće spasiti.
2 If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause them to come down. (Sheol h7585)
Zariju li se i u Podzemlje, iščupat će ih ruka moja. Popnu li se i na nebo, odande ću ih skinuti. (Sheol h7585)
3 And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.
Ako se sakriju i navrh Karmela, naći ću ih i pohvatati. Ako se od mog pogleda na dno morsko skriju, zapovjedit ću Zmaju da ih proždre.
4 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.
Ako i u izgnanstvo odu pred neprijateljem, naredit ću maču da ih sasiječe; upravit ću oči na njih, ali na nesreću, ne na dobro.”
5 And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And it hath sunk — like the flood of Egypt.
Jahve, Gospod nad Vojskama... on dodirne zemlju i ona se potrese, svi joj stanovnici protuže; diže se sva poput Nila i spušta k'o Rijeka egipatska.
6 Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the land, Jehovah [is] His name.
On sazda sebi prijesto na nebesima, i svod svoj na zemlji osnova; on poziva morske vode i lijeva ih zemlji preko lica - Jahve mu je ime.
7 As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel — an affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
“Sinovi Izraelovi, niste li za me kao i Kušani” - riječ je Jahvina. “Ne izvedoh li ja Izraela iz zemlje egipatske, kao Filistejce iz Kaftora i Aramejce iz Kira?”
8 Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Gle, oči Jahve Gospoda uprte su na grešno kraljevstvo, izbrisat će ga s lica zemlje. “Ipak neću sasvim zatrti dom Jakovljev” - riječ je Jahvina.
9 For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve, And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth.
“Jer, gle, zapovijed ću dati i rastresti dom Izraelov među sve narode, k'o što se trese žito u rešetu, da ni zrnce na zemlju ne padne.
10 By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying, 'Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.'
Svi grešnici naroda moga od mača će pasti, svi koji kažu: 'Nije blizu i neće nas stići nesreća.'”
11 In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.
“U dan ću onaj podići raspalu kolibu Davidovu, zatvorit' joj pukotine, popraviti mjesta ruševna, opet je sazidati k'o u stara vremena,
12 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah — doer of this.
da osvoje ostatak Edoma i svih naroda nad kojima je zazvano ime moje” - riječ je Jahve Gospoda, tvorca svega toga.
13 Lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah, And come nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropped juice, And all the hills do melt.
“Evo dolaze dani - riječ je Jahvina - kada će orač stizat' žeteoca, mastilac grožđa sijača, kad će planine procuriti mladim vinom i svi se bregovi prelijevati njime.
14 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit.
Okrenut ću sudbinu naroda moga Izraela: obnovit će gradove srušene i živjeti u njima, saditi vinograde i vino im piti, zasaditi vrtove i jesti njihov rod.
15 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!
Posadit ću ih u zemlju njihovu i nikad se više neće iščupati iz zemlje koju im dadoh” - veli Jahve, Bog tvoj.
