Amos 2
1 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Moav, neæu mu oprostiti, jer sažeže kosti cara Edomskoga u kreè.
The Lord says: For Moab’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom,
2 Nego æu pustiti oganj na Moava, te æe proždrijeti dvorove u Kariotu, i Moav æe poginuti s vrevom, s vikom i s glasom trubnijem.
to desecrate the dead. So I will send a fire into Moab. It will devour the palaces of Kirioth, with a war-cry, with the sound of trumpets.
3 I istrijebiæu sudiju iz njega i sve knezove njegove pobiæu s njim, veli Gospod.
I will kill the ruler, all his nobles I will slay with him, says the Lord.
4 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Juda, neæu mu oprostiti, jer prezreše zakon Gospodnji i uredaba njegovijeh ne držaše, i prevariše se lažima svojim, za kojima hodiše oci njihovi.
The Lord says: For Judah’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They have rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept his statutes. Instead their false gods their ancestors followed, have led them astray.
5 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Judu, te æe proždrijeti dvore Jerusalimske.
So I will send a fire on Judah. It will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Ovako veli Gospod: za tri zla i za èetiri što uèini Izrailj, neæu mu oprostiti, jer prodavaše pravednika za novce i ubogoga za jedne opanke.
The Lord says: For Israel’s three crimes – no, four! – I will not rescind my judgment. They sell the righteous for money, the needy for a pair of shoes.
7 Èeznu za prahom zemaljskim na glavi siromasima, i prevraæaju put smjernima; i sin i otac odlaze k jednoj djevojci da skvrne sveto ime moje.
They trample on the head of the poor, push the humble out of the way. Father and son go to the same temple girl, and so profane my holy name.
8 I na haljinama u zalogu uzetijem leže kod svakoga oltara, i vino oglobljenijeh piju u kuæi bogova svojih.
They stretch themselves on garments taken in pledges beside every altar, and they drink the wine of those who have been fined in the house of their God.
9 A ja istrijebih ispred njih Amoreje, koji bijahu visoki kao kedri i jaki kao hrastovi, i potrh rod njihov ozgo i žile njihove ozdo.
It was I who destroyed the Amorites for your sake, whose height was like that of the cedars, as strong as oaks. I destroyed their fruit from above and their roots from below.
10 I ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, i vodih vas po pustinji èetrdeset godina da biste naslijedili zemlju Amorejsku.
It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, led you forty years in the wilderness, brought you here to possess the land of the Amorites.
11 I podizah izmeðu sinova vaših proroke i izmeðu mladiæa vaših nazireje. Nije li tako? sinovi Izrailjevi, govori Gospod.
I raised up some of your sons to be prophets some of your youths to be Nazirites. Is not this indeed so, Israelites? says the Lord.
12 A vi pojiste nazireje vinom, i prorocima zabranjivaste govoreæi: ne prorokujte.
But you made the Nazirites drink wine and banned the prophets from prophesying.
13 Evo, ja æu vas pritisnuti na mjestu vašem kao što se pritiskuju kola puna snoplja.
Listen! It is I who will make you groan in your places, as a wagon groans under its load of grain.
14 I neæe biti bijega brzomu, i jaki neæe utvrditi krjeposti svoje, i hrabri neæe spasti duše svoje.
Then flight will fail the swift, and the strength of the strongest will be useless. The warrior will not save his life,
15 I strijelac neæe se održati, i laki na nogu neæe se izbaviti, niti æe konjik spasti duše svoje.
the archer will not stand firm, the swift of foot will not escape, the horseman will not save his life.
16 Nego æe najhrabriji meðu junacima go pobjeæi u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
The bravest of warriors will flee away naked in that day, says the Lord.
