Amos 8
1 Tako mi je pokazal Gospod Bog in glej, košara poletnega sadja.
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 Rekel je: »Amos, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Košaro poletnega sadja.« Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Konec je prišel nad moje ljudstvo Izrael; ne bom ponovno šel mimo njih.
He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 Tempeljske pesmi bodo vpitje na ta dan, « govori Gospod Bog. »Na vsakem kraju bo mnogo trupel; metali jih bodo v tišini.
The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord GOD. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 Poslušajte to, oh vi, ki pogoltnete pomoči potrebnega, celo da revnemu v deželi storite, da propade,
Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 rekoč: ›Kdaj bo minil mlaj, da bomo lahko prodajali žito? In šabat, da bomo lahko odpremili pšenico, naredili škaf majhen in šekel velik in s prevaro izkrivili tehtnice?
saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the efah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 Da lahko ubogega kupimo za srebro in pomoči potrebnega za par čevljev, da, in prodamo pleve od pšenice?‹«
that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
7 Gospod je prisegel pri Jakobovi odličnosti: »Zagotovo ne bom nikoli pozabil nobenega izmed njihovih del.
The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Mar ne bo zemlja zaradi tega trepetala in vsak človek žaloval, ki prebiva na njej? Vstala bo v celoti kakor poplava, vržena bo ven in potopljena, kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.
Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom soncu povzročil, da zaide opoldan in na jasen dan bom zatemnil zemljo.
It will happen in that day,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 Vaše praznike bom obrnil v žalovanje in vse vaše pesmi v žalostinko in privedel bom vrečevino na vsa ledja in plešavost na vsako glavo in naredil jo bom kakor žalovanje za edinim sinom in njen konec kakor grenek dan.
I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
11 Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom v deželo poslal lakoto, ne lakote po kruhu niti žeje po vodi, temveč [lakoto] po poslušanju Gospodovih besed.
Behold, the days come,” says the Lord GOD, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the LORD’s words.
12 Tavali bodo od morja do morja in od severa, celo do vzhoda, tekali bodo sem ter tja, da iščejo besedo od Gospoda, pa je ne bodo našli.
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word, and will not find it.
13 Na tisti dan bodo lepe device in mladeniči slabeli zaradi žeje.
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
14 Tisti, ki prisegajo pri grehu Samarije in pravijo: ›Tvoj bog, oh Dan, živi; ‹ in: ›Način Beeršébe živi; ‹ celo padli bodo in nikoli več ne bodo ponovno vstali.«
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
