Amos 4
1 »Poslušajte to besedo, ve bašánske krave, ki ste na samarijski gori, ki stiskate uboge, ki drobite pomoči potrebne, ki svojim gospodarjem pravite: ›Prinesite in naj pijemo.‹
Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who [are] in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: 'Bring in, and we do drink.'
2 Gospod Bog je prisegel pri svoji svetosti, da, glejte, nad vas bodo prišli dnevi, ko vas bo odvedel proč s kavlji in vaše potomstvo s trnki.
Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
3 Šle boste ven pri vrzelih, vsaka krava pri tisti, ki je pred njo, in vrgle jih boste v palačo, « govori Gospod.
And [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that] over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.
4 »Prihajate v Betel in grešite, pri Gilgálu množite prestopek in vsako jutro prinašajte svoje klavne daritve in svoje desetine po treh letih
Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.
5 in darujte žrtev zahvaljevanja s kvasom in razglašajte in objavljajte prostovoljne daritve, kajti to vam je všeč, oh vi, Izraelovi otroci, « govori Gospod Bog.
And perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
6 »In tudi jaz sem vam dal čistost zob po vseh vaših mestih in pomanjkanje kruha po vseh vaših krajih. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
And I also — I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And ye have not turned back unto Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
7 »In tudi jaz sem zadržal dež pred vami, ko je bilo še tri mesece do žetve in mu dal, da dežuje nad enim mestom in dal, da ne dežuje nad drugim mestom. Na en kos je deževalo, kos pa, na katerega ni deževalo, se je posušil.
And I also — I have withheld from you the rain. While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it raineth not withereth.
8 Tako so dva ali tri mesta tavala k enemu mestu, da pijejo vodo, toda niso bila nasičena. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
And wandered have two or three cities, Unto the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
9 »Udaril sem vas s kvarjenjem in plesnijo. Ko so se množili vaši vrtovi in vaši vinogradi in vaša figova drevesa in vaše oljke, jih je požrla kosmata gosenica. Vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I have smitten you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, Eat doth the palmer-worm, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
10 »Med vas sem poslal kužno bolezen po načinu iz Egipta. Vaše mladeniče sem umoril z mečem in vaše konje odvedel proč in storil sem, da se smrad vaših taborov vzdigne do vaših nosnic, vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain by sword your choice ones, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up — even into your nostrils, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
11 »Uničil sem nekatere izmed vas, kakor je Bog razdejal Sódomo in Gomóro in ste bili kakor kos tlečega lesa, izvlečenega iz gorenja, vendar se niste vrnili k meni, « govori Gospod.
I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
12 »Zato ti bom tako storil, oh Izrael in ker ti bom to storil, se pripravi, da srečaš svojega Boga, oh Izrael.
Therefore, thus I do to thee, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 Kajti glej, tisti ki oblikuje gore in ustvarja veter in razglaša človeku, kaj je njegova misel, ki dela jutranjo temo in mendra na visokih krajih zemlje. Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, je njegovo ime.«
For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] His name!
