Amos 2
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Moába in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker je kosti edómskega kralja sežgal v žganem apnu.
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Moáb in ta bo požrl palače Kerijóta, in Moáb bo umrl s hrupom, z vpitjem in z zvokom šofarja.
but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
3 Iztrebil bom sodnika iz njegove srede in z njim bom ubil vse njegove prince, « govori Gospod.
and I will cut off the judge from amongst them, and will kill all its princes with him,” says the LORD.
4 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Juda in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni; ker so prezirali Gospodovo postavo in se niso držali njegovih zapovedi in njihove laži so jim povzročile, da se motijo, za katerimi so hodili njihovi očetje.
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have rejected the LORD’s law, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked;
5 Toda jaz bom poslal ogenj nad Juda in ta bo požrl jeruzalemske palače.«
but I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
6 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Izraela in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so pravičnega prodajali za srebro in revnega za par čevljev,
The LORD says: “For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals;
7 ki koprnijo po zemeljskem prahu na glavi revnega in zavijajo pot krotkega. Moški in njegov oče bosta šla noter k isti deklici, da oskrunita moje sveto ime.
They trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth and deny justice to the oppressed. A man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name.
8 Ob vsakem oltarju legajo na oblačila, položena za jamstvo in pijejo vino obsojenih v hiši svojega boga.
They lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge. In the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
9 Čeprav sem pred njimi uničil Amoréjca, katerega višina je bila podobna višini ceder in je bil močan kakor hrasti, vendar sem uničil njegov sad od zgoraj in njegove korenine od spodaj.
Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Privedel sem vas tudi iz egiptovske dežele in vas štirideset let vodil skozi divjino, da vzamete v last deželo Amoréjca.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 Izmed vaših sinov sem dvignil preroke in izmed vaših mladeničev nazirce. Mar ni to celo tako, oh vi Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod.
I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn’t this true, you children of Israel?” says the LORD.
12 »Toda nazircem ste dajali piti vino in prerokom zapovedovali, rekoč: ›Ne prerokujte.‹
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’
13 Glejte, stlačen sem pod vami, kakor je stlačen voz, ki je poln snopov.
Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
14 Zato bo pred naglim izginil umik in močni ne bo okrepil svoje moči niti mogočni sebe ne bo osvobodil
Flight will perish from the swift. The strong won’t strengthen his force. The mighty won’t deliver himself.
15 niti ne bo stal tisti, ki prijema lok in kdor je naglih stopal sebe ne bo osvobodil niti kdor jaha konja sebe ne bo osvobodil.
He who handles the bow won’t stand. He who is swift of foot won’t escape. He who rides the horse won’t deliver himself.
16 In kdor je pogumen med mogočnimi, bo na ta dan nag pobegnil proč, « govori Gospod.
He who is courageous amongst the mighty will flee away naked on that day,” says the LORD.
