Amos 3
1 Èujte rijeè koju govori Gospod za vas, sinovi Izrailjevi, za sve pleme koje sam izveo iz zemlje Misirske, govoreæi:
Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Samo vas poznah izmeðu svijeh plemena zemaljskih, zato æu vas pohoditi za sva bezakonja vaša.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
3 Hoæe li dvojica iæi zajedno, ako se ne sastanu?
Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
4 Hoæe li riknuti lav u šumi, ako nema lova? hoæe li laviæ pustiti glas svoj iz peæine svoje, ako ne uhvati što?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 Hoæe li ptica pasti u mrežu na zemlju, ako nema zamke? hoæe li se dignuti mreža sa zemlje, ako se ništa ne uhvati?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Hoæe li truba trubiti po gradu, a narod da ne dotrèi uplašen? hoæe li biti nesreæa u gradu, a Gospod da je ne uèini?
Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?
7 Jer Gospod Gospod ne èini ništa ne otkrivši tajne svoje slugama svojim prorocima.
Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 Kad lav rikne, ko se neæe bojati? kad Gospod reèe, ko neæe prorokovati?
The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
9 Oglasite po dvorovima Azotskim i po dvorovima u zemlji Misirskoj, i recite: skupite se na gore Samarijske i vidite velike nerede u njoj i nasilje u njoj.
Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof.
10 Ne znaju èiniti pravo, govori Gospod, sabiraju blago nasiljem i grabežem u dvorima svojim.
For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: neprijatelj je oko zemlje i oboriæe ti silu tvoju, i oplijeniæe se dvorovi tvoji.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary [there shall be], even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
12 Ovako veli Gospod: kao kad pastir istrgne iz usta lavu dvije golijeni ili kraj od uha, tako æe se istrgnuti sinovi Izrailjevi koji sjede u Samariji na uglu od odra i nakraj postelje.
Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
13 Èujte i zasvjedoèite u domu Jakovljevu, govori Gospod Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
14 Kad pohodim Izrailja za grijehe njegove, tada æu pohoditi i oltare Vetiljske, i odbiæe se rogovi oltaru i pašæe na zemlju.
For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 I udariæu kuæu zimnu i ljetnu kuæu, i propašæe kuæe od slonove kosti, i nestaæe velikih kuæa, govori Gospod.
And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
