Amos 4
1 Èujte ovu rijeè, krave Vasanske, koje ste u gori Samarijskoj, koje krivo èinite ubogima i satirete siromahe, koje govorite gospodarima svojim: donesite da pijemo.
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
2 Zakle se Gospod Gospod svetošæu svojom da æe vam evo doæi dani, te æe vas izvlaèiti kukama, i ostatak vaš udicama ribarskim.
The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 I kroz prolome æete ižljesti, svaka na prema se, i pobacaæete što bude u dvorovima, govori Gospod.
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD.
4 Idite u Vetilj, i èinite bezakonje, u Galgalu množite bezakonje svoje, i prinosite svako jutro žrtve svoje, treæe godine desetke svoje;
“Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 I palite žrtvu zahvalnu od hljeba kiseloga, i oglasite žrtve dragovoljne i razglasite, jer vam je tako milo, sinovi Izrailjevi, govori Gospod Gospod.
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.
6 I zato vam ja dadoh da su vam èisti zubi po svijem gradovima vašim i da nema hljeba nigdje po svijem mjestima vašim; ali se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
“I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
7 A ja vam ustegoh dažd, kad još tri mjeseca bijahu do žetve, i pustih dažd na jedan grad, a na drugi grad ne pustih dažda, jedan se kraj nakvasi, a drugi kraj, na koji ne daždje, posuši se.
“I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
8 Tako dva i tri grada iðahu u jedan grad da piju vode, i ne mogahu se napiti; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
9 Bih vas sušom i medljikom; gusjenice izjedoše obilje u vrtovima vašim i u vinogradima vašim i na smokvama vašim i na maslinama vašim; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
“I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
10 Poslah u vas pomor kao u Misir, pobih maèem mladiæe vaše i odvedoh konje vaše, i uèinih te se podizaše smrad iz okola vašega i u nozdrve vaše; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
“I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
11 Zatirah vas kao što Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor, i bijaste kao glavnja istrgnuta iz ognja; ipak se ne obratiste k meni, govori Gospod.
“I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
12 Zato æu ti tako uèiniti, Izrailju; i što æu ti tako uèiniti, pripravi se, Izrailju, da sreteš Boga svojega.
“Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 Jer eto onoga koji je sazdao gore i koji je stvorio vjetar i javlja èovjeku što misli, èini od zore tamu, i hodi po visinama zemaljskim; ime mu je Gospod Bog nad vojskama.
For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of Armies, is his name.”
