< 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.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
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: "Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither."
3 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Damasak, neæu mu oprostiti, jer vrhoše Galad gvozdenom branom.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing instruments of iron;
4 Nego æu pustiti oganj u dom Azailov, te æe proždrijeti dvorove Venadadove.
but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces 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 the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Wickedness, and him who holds the scepter from Beth Eden; and the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Kir," says Jehovah.
6 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Gaza, neæu joj oprostiti, jer ih zarobiše sasvijem i predadoše Edomcima.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they carried away captive the whole community, to deliver them up to Edom;
7 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Gazi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it will devour its palaces.
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 inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says Jehovah.
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.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they delivered up the whole community to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant;
10 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Tiru, te æe proždrijeti dvorove njegove.
but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it will devour its palaces."
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.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger raged continually, and he kept his wrath forever;
12 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Teman, i proždrijeæe dvore u Vosori.
but I will send a fire on Teman, and it will devour the palaces 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.
Thus says Jehovah: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
14 Nego æu zapaliti oganj u zidovima Ravi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove s vikom u dan boja i s burom u dan vihora.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 I car æe njihov otiæi u ropstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njim, veli Gospod.
and their king will go into captivity, he and his officials together," says Jehovah.
