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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Moab, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because he burned the bones of the King of Edom to lime,
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.
Therefore will I send a fire into Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Kerioth—and Moab, shall die with tumult, with war- cry, with the sound of a horn;
3 I istrijebiæu sudiju iz njega i sve knezove njegove pobiæu s njim, veli Gospod.
And I will cut off the judge out of her midst, and, all her rulers, will I slay with him, saith Yahweh.
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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Judah, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because they have rejected the law of Yahweh, and, his statutes, have not kept, but their falsehoods, have led them astray, after the which their fathers, did walk,
5 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Judu, te æe proždrijeti dvore Jerusalimske.
Therefore will I send a fire upon Judah, —which shall 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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Israel, and because of four, will I not turn it back, —Because they have sold—for silver—the righteous, and 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.
Who strive to bring the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and, the way of the oppressed, they pervert, —Yea, a man and his own father, go in unto the maid, to profane my holy Name!
8 I na haljinama u zalogu uzetijem leže kod svakoga oltara, i vino oglobljenijeh piju u kuæi bogova svojih.
And, on pledged garments, they recline, beside every altar, —and, exacted wine, do they drink, 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.
Yet it was, I, who destroyed the Amorite, from before them, whose height was, like the height of cedars, and, strong, was he, like the oaks, —but I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.
10 I ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, i vodih vas po pustinji èetrdeset godina da biste naslijedili zemlju Amorejsku.
And it was, I, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, —and led you in the desert, forty years, to take possession of the land of the Amorites;
11 I podizah izmeðu sinova vaših proroke i izmeðu mladiæa vaših nazireje. Nije li tako? sinovi Izrailjevi, govori Gospod.
And I raised up, of your sons, for prophets, and, of your young men, for Nazirites, —Was it not even so, ye sons of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh;
12 A vi pojiste nazireje vinom, i prorocima zabranjivaste govoreæi: ne prorokujte.
And yet ye caused the Nazirites to drink wine, —and, on the prophet, laid ye command, saying, Ye shall not prophesy!
13 Evo, ja æu vas pritisnuti na mjestu vašem kao što se pritiskuju kola puna snoplja.
Lo! I, am pressed under you, —as a full cart is pressed by its sheaves,
14 I neæe biti bijega brzomu, i jaki neæe utvrditi krjeposti svoje, i hrabri neæe spasti duše svoje.
Therefore shall flight, perish, from the swift, and, the mighty, shall not invigorate his strength, —nor shall, the hero, escape with his life;
15 I strijelac neæe se održati, i laki na nogu neæe se izbaviti, niti æe konjik spasti duše svoje.
Nor, he that handleth the bow, make a stand, and, the swift on his feet, shall not escape, —nor, he that rideth on a horse, escape with his life:
16 Nego æe najhrabriji meðu junacima go pobjeæi u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
Nay, he that is stout in his heart, among heroes, naked, shall flee, in that day, Declareth Yahweh.
