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 message of Amos, one of the sheep breeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, and in the reign of Jeroboam the son of King Joash 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.
Amos said: Whenever the Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, the pastures of the shepherds dry up, the top of Carmel becomes arid.
3 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Damasak, neæu mu oprostiti, jer vrhoše Galad gvozdenom branom.
The Lord says: For Damascus’ three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
4 Nego æu pustiti oganj u dom Azailov, te æe proždrijeti dvorove Venadadove.
Therefore I will send fire on Hazael’s house, 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 open the gate of Damascus, I will wipe out those who live in the valley of Aven and the sceptred ruler of Beth-Eden. The people of Aram will go into captivity in Kir, says the Lord.
6 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Gaza, neæu joj oprostiti, jer ih zarobiše sasvijem i predadoše Edomcima.
The Lord says: For Gaza’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They carried away captive a whole nation, sold them as slaves to Edom.
7 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Gazi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove.
Therefore I will send fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour her 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.
And I will wipe out those who live in Ashdod, and the sceptred ruler of Askelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says the Lord.
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.
The Lord says: For Tyre’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They carried away captive a whole people into exile in Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.
10 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Tiru, te æe proždrijeti dvorove njegove.
So I will send fire on the walls of Tyre. It will devour her 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.
The Lord says: For Edom’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They pursued their relatives with the sword, stilled their pity, cherished their anger continually, retained their fury forever.
12 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Teman, i proždrijeæe dvore u Vosori.
So I will send a fire into Teman. It will destroy 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.
The Lord says: For Ammonites’ three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead, in their lust for land.
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 on the wall of Rabbah. It will destroy her palaces, with a war-cry in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
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 nobles together, says the Lord.
