Amos 5
1 Èujte ovu rijeè, naricanje koje podižem za vama, dome Izrailjev.
Heare ye this worde, which I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel.
2 Pade, neæe više ustati djevojka Izrailjeva; baèena je na zemlju svoju, nema nikoga da je podigne.
The virgine Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: shee is left vpon her lande, and there is none to raise her vp.
3 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u gradu iz kojega je izlazila tisuæa ostaæe stotina, a iz kojega je izlazila stotina u njemu æe ostati deset domu Izrailjevu.
For thus saith ye Lord God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth: and that which went forth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel.
4 Jer ovako veli Gospod domu Izrailjevu: tražite me, i biæete živi.
For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye me, and ye shall liue.
5 A ne tražite Vetilja, i ne idite u Galgal, i ne prolazite u Virsaveju, jer æe Galgal otiæi u ropstvo, a Vetilj æe se obratiti u ništa.
But seeke not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall goe into captiuitie, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
6 Tražite Gospoda i biæete živi, da ne obuzme doma Josifova kao oganj i spali i ne bude nikoga da gasi Vetilj.
Seeke the Lord, and yee shall liue, least he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
7 Koji obraæate sud u pelen, i pravdu na zemlju obarate,
They turne iudgement to wormewood, and leaue off righteousnes in the earth.
8 Onoga tražite koji je stvorio zvijezde kola i štape, i koji pretvara sjen smrtni u jutro a dan u tamnu noæ, koji doziva vode morske i proljeva ih po zemlji; ime mu je Gospod.
He maketh Pleiades, and Orion, and he turneth the shadowe of death into the morning, and he maketh the day darke as night: he calleth the waters of the sea, and powreth them out vpon the open earth: the Lord is his Name.
9 Koji podiže pogibao na jakoga, te pogibao doðe na grad.
He strengtheneth the destroyer against the mightie: and the destroyer shall come against the fortresse.
10 Mrze na onoga koji kara na vratima, i gade se na onoga koji govori pravo.
They haue hated him, that rebuked in the gate: and they abhorred him that speaketh vprightly.
11 Zato što gazite siromaha i uzimate od njega žito u danak, sagradiste kuæe od tesana kamena, ali neæete sjedjeti u njima; nasadiste lijepe vinograde, ali neæete piti vina iz njih.
Forasmuch then as your treading is vpon the poore, and yee take from him burdens of wheate, ye haue built houses of hewen stone, but ye shall not dwel in them: ye haue plated pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drinke wine of them.
12 Jer znam bezakonja vaša, kojih je mnogo, i grijehe vaše, koji su veliki, koji muèite pravednika, primate poklone i izvræete pravdu ubogima na vratima.
For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mightie sinnes: they afflict the iust, they take rewards, and they oppresse the poore in ye gate.
13 Zato æe pravedni muèati u ovo vrijeme, jer je zlo vrijeme.
Therefore the prudent shall keepe silence in that time, for it is an euill time.
14 Tražite dobro a ne zlo, da biste bili živi; i tako æe Gospod Bog nad vojskama biti s vama, kako rekoste.
Seeke good and not euil, that ye may liue: and the Lord God of hostes shalbe with you, as you haue spoken.
15 Mrzite na zlo i ljubite dobro, i postavite na vratima sud, ne bi li se Gospod Bog nad vojskama smilovao na ostatak Josifov.
Hate the euil, and loue the good, and establish iudgement in the gate: it may bee that the Lord God of hostes will be mercifull vnto the remnant of Ioseph.
16 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod: biæe tužnjava po svijem ulicama, i po svijem putovima govoriæe: jaoh! jaoh! i zvaæe ratare na žalost i na tužnjavu one koji umiju naricati.
Therfore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord saith thus, Mourning shalbe in all streetes: and they shall say in al the hie wayes, Alas, alas: and they shall call the husbandman to lamentation, and such as can mourne, to mourning.
17 I po svijem æe vinogradima biti tužnjava, jer æu proæi posred tebe, govori Gospod.
And in al the vines shalbe lamentation: for I wil passe through thee, saith the Lord.
18 Teško onima koji žele dan Gospodnji! što æe vam dan Gospodnji? tada je mrak a ne vidjelo.
Woe vnto you, that desire the day of the Lord: what haue you to do with it? the day of the Lord is darkenes and not light.
19 Kao da bi ko bježao od lava pa bi ga sreo medvjed; ili kao da bi ko došao u kuæu i naslonio se rukom na zid, pa bi ga zmija ujela.
As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him: or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Nije li dan Gospodnji mrak a ne vidjelo? i tama, bez svjetlosti?
Shal not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen darkenes and no light in it?
21 Mrzim na vaše praznike, odbacio sam ih, i neæu da mirišem svetkovina vaših.
I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.
22 Ako mi prinesete žrtve paljenice i prinose svoje, neæu ih primiti, i neæu pogledati na zahvalne žrtve od ugojene stoke vaše.
Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.
23 Ukloni od mene buku pjesama svojih, i sviranja psaltira tvojih neæu da èujem.
Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)
24 Nego sud neka teèe kao voda i pravda kao silan potok.
And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.
25 Jeste li meni prinosili žrtve i dare u pustinji èetrdeset godina, dome Izrailjev?
Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?
26 Nego ste nosili šator Moloha svojega, i Hijuna, likove svoje, zvijezdu boga svojega, koje sami sebi naèiniste.
But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.
27 Zato æu vas preseliti iza Damaska, govori Gospod, kojemu je ime Bog nad vojskama.
Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
