Amos 7

1 Ovo mi pokaza Gospod Gospod: gle, sazdavaše skakavce kad poèinjaše nicati otava, i gle, bijaše otava po carevoj kosidbi.

Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! he was preparing the locust, in the beginning of the shooting up of the after-grass, —and lo! after-grass, cometh after the mowings for the king.

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, when they had made an end of eating the herbage of the land, that I said—Oh, My Lord, Yahweh, forgive, I beseech thee: By whom shall Jacob, arise? for, small, he is.

3 Gospod se raskaja za to: neæe biti, reèe Gospod.

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, —It shall not be, said Yahweh?

4 Tada mi pokaza Gospod Gospod, i gle, Gospod Gospod povika da æe suditi ognjem; i oganj proždrije veliku bezdanu i proždrije dio zemlje.

Here, My Lord, Yahweh gave me to see, and lo! My Lord Yahweh proclaiming that, the controversy should be settled by fire, —which, having devoured the mighty roaring deep, should devour the inheritance.

5 A ja rekoh: Gospode, Gospode, prestani; kako æe se podignuti Jakov? jer je mali.

Then said I, My Lord, Yahweh, forbear, I beseech thee, By whom shall Jacob, arise? for, small, he is.

6 Gospod se raskaja za to: ni to neæe biti, reèe Gospod Gospod.

Grieved was Yahweh, over this, —Even this, shall not be, said My Lord, Yahweh.

7 Tada mi pokaza, i gle, Gospod stajaše na zidu sazidanu po mjerilima, i u ruci mu bjehu mjerila.

Here, he gave me to see, and lo! My Lord, stationed upon a pinnacle, —and, in his hand a plummet.

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 Yahweh said unto me, What canst thou see, Amos? And I said, A plummet, —Then said My Lord, Behold me! fixing a plummet in the midst of my people Israel, I will not again any more forgive him.

9 Jer æe se razoriti visine Isakove, i svetinje æe Izrailjeve opustjeti, i ustaæu na dom Jerovoamov s maèem.

So shall the high places of Isaac, be made desolate, and, the holy places of Israel, be laid waste, —and I will rise up, 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 sent Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, unto Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: A conspiracy hath Amos, raised against thee, in the midst of the house of Israel, The land, is not able to endure, 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, saith Amos, By the sword, shall Jeroboam, die, —and, Israel, shall, surely be exiled, from off his own soil.

12 Potom reèe Amasija Amosu: vidioèe, idi, bježi u zemlju Judinu, i ondje jedi hljeb i ondje prorokuj;

Then said Amaziah unto Amos, O seer, go flee thee away unto the land of Judah—and eat, there, bread, and, there, mayest thou prophesy;

13 A u Vetilju više ne prorokuj, jer je svetinja careva i dom je carski.

But, at Bethel, not again, any more, mayest thou prophesy, —for, the holy place of the king, it is, and, the house of the kingdom, it is.

14 A Amos odgovori i reèe Amasiji: ne bjeh prorok ni proroèki sin, nego bjeh govedar i brah dudove;

Then answered Amos, and said unto Amaziah, No prophet, was I, —nor the son of a prophet, was I, —but, a herdman, was I, and a preparer of sycamore fruit;

15 A Gospod me uze od stada i reèe mi Gospod: idi, prorokuj narodu mojemu Izrailju.

But Yahweh, took me away, from following the flock, —and Yahweh, said unto me, Go prophesy against 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 Yahweh, —Thou art saying, Thou must not prophesy concerning Israel, nor let thy word drop down upon 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 Yahweh, Thy wife, in the city, will commit unchastity, and, thy sons and thy daughters, by the sword, shall fall, and, thine own soil, by line, shall he apportioned, —and, thou, on a polluted soil, shalt die, and, Israel, shall, surely go into exile, away from his own soil.
