Amos 7
1 Tako mi je Gospod Bog pokazal in glej, oblikoval je kobilice v začetku poganjanja otave in glej, to je bila otava po kraljevih košnjah.
This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that he was preparing a swarm of locusts just when the spring crops began to grow. (Spring crops begin to grow right after the time when the king's hay is cut.)
2 Pripetilo se je, ko so končale z objedanjem trave dežele, da sem nato rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, odpusti, rotim te. Po kom bo Jakob vstal? Kajti majhen je.«
And so when the locusts finished eating every green plant in the fields, I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please forgive your people! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
3 Gospod se je zaradi tega pokesal. »To ne bo, « govori Gospod.
So the Lord changed his mind. “It won't happen,” said the Lord.
4 Tako mi je Gospod Bog pokazal in glej, Gospod Bog je klical k pričkanju z ognjem in ta je požrl veliko globino in pojedel del.
This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that the Lord God was calling for a judgment of fire. The fire burned up the depths of the sea and destroyed the farmland.
5 Potem sem rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, odnehaj, rotim te. Po kom bo Jakob vstal? Kajti majhen je.«
I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please stop! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
6 Gospod se je zaradi tega pokesal: »Tudi to se ne bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog.
So the Lord changed his mind. “This too won't happen,” said the Lord.
7 Zato mi je pokazal in glej, Gospod je stal na zidu, narejenem s svinčnico, s svinčnico v svoji roki.
This is what he showed me. I saw the Lord was standing beside a wall that had been built with a plumb line. He was holding a plumb line in his hand.
8 Gospod mi je rekel: »Amos, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Svinčnico.« Potem je Gospod rekel: »Glej, postavil bom svinčnico v sredo svojega ljudstva Izraela. Ne bom več ponovno šel mimo njega
And the Lord asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” And the Lord God said, “I am placing a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I won't ignore their sins anymore.
9 in Izakovi visoki kraji bodo zapuščeni in Izraelova svetišča bodo opustošena in z mečem se bom dvignil zoper Jerobeámovo hišo.«
The high places of the descendents of Isaac will be torn down, and the holy places of Israel will be destroyed. Sword in hand, I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam.”
10 Potem je Amacjá, duhovnik iz Betela, poslal k Jerobeámu, Izraelovemu kralju, rekoč: »Amos se je zarotil zoper tebe v sredi Izraelove hiše. Dežela ni zmožna prenesti vseh njegovih besed.
Then Amaziah, priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. What he's saying is unbearable!
11 Kajti tako govori Amos: ›Jerobeám bo umrl pod mečem in Izrael bo zagotovo iz svoje lastne dežele odveden v ujetništvo.‹«
For he's saying Jeroboam will be killed by the sword, and the people will be taken away from their land into exile.”
12 Amacjá je prav tako rekel Amosu: »Oh ti videc, pojdi, pobegni proč v Judovo deželo in tam jej kruh in tam prerokuj,
Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away prophet! Run away to the land of Judah. Go and prophesy there to earn your bread.
13 toda ne prerokuj ponovno pri Betelu, kajti to je kraljeva kapela in to je kraljevi dvor.«
But don't ever prophesy again at Bethel, for this is where the king worships, the national Temple.”
14 Potem je Amos odgovoril in rekel Amacjáju: »Jaz nisem bil nikakršen prerok niti nisem bil prerokov sin, temveč sem bil črednik in obiralec sadu egiptovske smokve
But Amos replied, “I'm not a trained prophet, or the son of a prophet. I was just a shepherd, and also took care of fig trees.
15 in Gospod me je vzel, medtem ko sem sledil tropu in Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi, prerokuj mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.
The Lord took me from following my flock, and the Lord told me, ‘Go, and give my message to my people of Israel.’”
16 Zdaj torej poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Praviš: ›Ne prerokuj zoper Izrael in ne kapljaj svoje besede zoper Izakovo hišo.‹
So now hear what the Lord is telling you: You say, “Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the descendants of Isaac.”
17 Zato tako govori Gospod: ›Tvoja žena bo pocestnica v mestu in tvoji sinovi in tvoje hčere bodo padli pod mečem in tvoja dežela bo razdeljena z vrvico, ti pa boš umrl v oskrunjeni deželi, in Izrael bo zagotovo odšel v ujetništvo, iz svoje dežele.‹«
But this is what the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and daughters will be killed by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from the land and go into exile.
