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.
This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the 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.
This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
3 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Damasak, neæu mu oprostiti, jer vrhoše Galad gvozdenom branom.
This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
4 Nego æu pustiti oganj u dom Azailov, te æe proždrijeti dvorove Venadadove.
I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
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 cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
6 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Gaza, neæu joj oprostiti, jer ih zarobiše sasvijem i predadoše Edomcima.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
7 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Gazi, te æe joj proždrijeti dvorove.
I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
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 get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
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.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
10 Nego æu pustiti oganj u zidove Tiru, te æe proždrijeti dvorove njegove.
So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
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.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
12 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Teman, i proždrijeæe dvore u Vosori.
I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
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.
Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more 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.
I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
15 I car æe njihov otiæi u ropstvo, on i knezovi njegovi s njim, veli Gospod.
[After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
