< Amos 1 >
1 Rijeèi Amosa koji bijaše izmeðu pastira iz Tekuje, što vidje za Izrailja za vremena Ozije cara Judina i za vremena Jerovoama sina Joasova cara Izrailjeva, dvije godine prije trusa.
These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
2 Reèe dakle: Gospod æe riknuti sa Siona, i iz Jerusalima æe pustiti glas svoj, i tužiæe stanovi pastirski i posušiæe se vrh Karmilu.
He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
3 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Damasak, neæu mu oprostiti, jer vrhoše Galad gvozdenom branom.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
4 Nego æu pustiti oganj u dom Azailov, te æe proždrijeti dvorove Venadadove.
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
5 I polomiæu prijevornice Damasku, i istrijebiæu stanovnike iz polja Avena, i onoga koji drži palicu iz doma Edenova, i otiæi æe u ropstvo narod Sirski u Kir, veli Gospod.
I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,”
6 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Gaza, neæu joj oprostiti, jer ih zarobiše sasvijem i predadoše Edomcima.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
7 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Gazi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove.
So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
8 I istrijebiæu stanovnike iz Azota i onoga koji drži palicu iz Askalona, i okrenuæu ruku svoju na Akaron, i izginuæe ostatak Filistejski, veli Gospod Gospod.
I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
9 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Tir, neæu mu oprostiti, jer sasvijem dadoše u ropstvo Edomcima i ne sjeæaše se bratske vjere.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
10 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Tiru, te æe proždrijeti dvorove njegove.
So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
11 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Edom, neæu mu oprostiti, jer goni brata svojega maèem potrvši u sebi sve žaljenje, i gnjev njegov razdire jednako, i srdnju svoju drži uvijek.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
12 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Teman, i proždrijeæe dvore u Vosori.
So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
13 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèiniše sinovi Amonovi, neæu im oprostiti, jer paraše trudne žene u Galadu da rašire meðu svoju.
This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
14 Nego æu zapaliti oganj u zidovima Ravi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove s vikom u dan boja i s burom u dan vihora.
So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
15 I car æe njihov otiæi u ropstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njim, veli Gospod.
Their king will go into exile — he and his princes together,”
