Amos 7
1 Ovo mi pokaza Gospod Gospod: gle, sazdavaše skakavce kad poèinjaše nicati otava, i gle, bijaše otava po carevoj kosidbi.
THUS hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
2 A kad pojedoše travu zemaljsku, tada rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, smiluj se; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 Gospod se raskaja za to: neæe biti, reèe Gospod.
The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Tada mi pokaza Gospod Gospod, i gle, Gospod Gospod povika da æe suditi ognjem; i oganj proždrije veliku bezdanu i proždrije dio zemlje.
Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 A ja rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, prestani; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.
Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 Gospod se raskaja za to: ni to neæe biti, reèe Gospod Gospod.
The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Tada mi pokaza, i gle, Gospod stajaše na zidu sazidanu po mjerilima, i u ruci mu bjehu mjerila.
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 I reèe mi Gospod: što vidiš, Amose? I rekoh: mjerila. A Gospod mi reèe: evo, ja æu metnuti mjerila posred naroda svojega Izrailja, neæu ga više prolaziti.
And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 Jer æe se razoriti visine Isakove, i svetinje æe Izrailjeve opustjeti, i ustaæu na dom Jerovoamov s maèem.
And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Tada Amasija sveštenik Vetiljski posla k Jerovoamu caru Izrailjevu i poruèi mu: Amos diže bunu na te usred doma Izrailjeva, zemlja ne može podnijeti svijeh rijeèi njegovijeh.
Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 Jer ovako govori Amos: Jerovoam æe poginuti od maèa, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz zemlje svoje u ropstvo.
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Potom reèe Amasija Amosu: vidioèe, idi, bježi u zemlju Judinu, i ondje jedi hljeb i ondje prorokuj;
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 A u Vetilju više ne prorokuj, jer je svetinja careva i dom je carski.
But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
14 A Amos odgovori i reèe Amasiji: ne bjeh prorok ni proroèki sin, nego bjeh govedar i brah dudove;
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 A Gospod me uze od stada i reèe mi Gospod: idi, prorokuj narodu mojemu Izrailju.
And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Sada dakle èuj rijeè Gospodnju. Ti kažeš: ne prorokuj u Izrailju, i ne kropi po domu Isakovu.
Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17 Zato ovako veli Gospod: žena æe ti se kurvati u gradu, i sinovi æe tvoji i kæeri tvoje pasti od maèa, i zemlja æe se tvoja razdijeliti užem, i ti æeš umrijeti u neèistoj zemlji, a Izrailj æe se odvesti iz svoje zemlje u ropstvo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
