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 three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into 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.
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 I istrijebiæu sudiju iz njega i sve knezove njegove pobiæu s njim, veli Gospod.
and I will cut off the judge from amongst them, and will kill all its princes 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 three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
5 Nego æu pustiti oganj u Judu, te æe proždrijeti dvore Jerusalimske.
but I will send a fire on Judah, and 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 three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
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 the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8 I na haljinama u zalogu uzetijem leže kod svakoga oltara, i vino oglobljenijeh piju u kuæi bogova svojih.
They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
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 I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 I ja vas izvedoh iz zemlje Misirske, i vodih vas po pustinji èetrdeset godina da biste naslijedili zemlju Amorejsku.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
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 for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
12 A vi pojiste nazireje vinom, i prorocima zabranjivaste govoreæi: ne prorokujte.
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13 Evo, ja æu vas pritisnuti na mjestu vašem kao što se pritiskuju kola puna snoplja.
Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 I neæe biti bijega brzomu, i jaki neæe utvrditi krjeposti svoje, i hrabri neæe spasti duše svoje.
Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15 I strijelac neæe se održati, i laki na nogu neæe se izbaviti, niti æe konjik spasti duše svoje.
He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16 Nego æe najhrabriji meðu junacima go pobjeæi u onaj dan, govori Gospod.
He who is courageous amongst the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
