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.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to 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 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 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 je zaradi tega pokesal. »To ne bo, « govori Gospod.

The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith 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.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me: and behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

5 Potem sem rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, odnehaj, rotim te. Po kom bo Jakob vstal? Kajti majhen je.«

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

6 Gospod se je zaradi tega pokesal: »Tudi to se ne bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog.

The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

7 Zato mi je pokazal in glej, Gospod je stal na zidu, narejenem s svinčnico, s svinčnico v svoji roki.

Thus he showed me: and behold, the LORD stood upon a wall [made] by a plumb-line, with 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 said to me, Amos, what seest thou? and I said, A plumb-line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

9 in Izakovi visoki kraji bodo zapuščeni in Izraelova svetišča bodo opustošena in z mečem se bom dvignil zoper Jerobeámovo hišo.«

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 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 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 Kajti tako govori Amos: ›Jerobeám bo umrl pod mečem in Izrael bo zagotovo iz svoje lastne dežele odveden v ujetništvo.‹«

For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

12 Amacjá je prav tako rekel Amosu: »Oh ti videc, pojdi, pobegni proč v Judovo deželo in tam jej kruh in tam prerokuj,

Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

13 toda ne prerokuj ponovno pri Betelu, kajti to je kraljeva kapela in to je kraljevi dvor.«

But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it [is] the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.

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

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

15 in Gospod me je vzel, medtem ko sem sledil tropu in Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi, prerokuj mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

16 Zdaj torej poslušaj Gospodovo besedo: ›Praviš: ›Ne prerokuj zoper Izrael in ne kapljaj svoje besede zoper Izakovo hišo.‹

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 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.‹«

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be a 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 from his land into captivity.
