< Amos 9 >
1 Videl sem Gospoda stati na oltarju in rekel je: »Udari vratno preklado, da se bodo podboji lahko tresli, in ureži jih na glavi, vse izmed njih in jaz bom zadnje izmed njih ubil z mečem in kdor izmed njih beži, ne bo pobegnil proč in kdor se izmed njih umika, ne bo osvobojen.
Then I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the tops of the Temple pillars so that the foundations shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people below. Those who survive I will kill by the sword. None of them will escape, not a single one.
2 Čeprav kopljejo v pekel, jih bo moja roka vzela od tam. Čeprav plezajo gor do nebes, jih bom od tam privedel dol. (Sheol )
Even if they dig down into Sheol, I will catch them and pull them up. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down. (Sheol )
3 Čeprav se skrijejo na vrhu Karmela, jih poiščem in vzamem od tam. Čeprav so skriti pred mojim pogledom na dnu morja, bom tam zapovedal kači in ta jih bo pičila.
Even if they hide themselves at the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. Even if they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea serpent to bite them.
4 Čeprav gredo v ujetništvo pred svojimi sovražniki, bom tja poslal meč in ta jih bo ubil in svoje oči bom naravnal nanje za zlo in ne za dobro.«
Even if they are driven into exile by their enemies, I will order them put to death by the sword. I will watch them carefully—and for evil, not for good.
5 Gospod Bog nad bojevniki je tisti, ki se dotika dežele in ta se bo stopila in vsi, ki prebivajo v njej, bodo žalovali. In ta se bo vzdignila v celoti kakor poplava in potopljena bo kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.
The Lord God of power touches the earth and it melts, and all who live there mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile river in flood, and then falls again.
6 On je tisti, ki gradi svoja nadstropja v nebesih in je utemeljil svoje krdelo na zemlji. On, ki kliče za morskimi vodami in jih izliva na obličje zemlje. Gospod je njegovo ime.
The Lord builds his upper rooms in heaven, and places the foundations on the earth. He calls for the water of the seas, and pours it down as rain upon the earth—the Lord is his name!
7 » Ali mi niste kakor otroci Etiopijcev, oh Izraelovi otroci?« govori Gospod: »Mar nisem jaz Izraela privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele? In Filistejce iz Kaftorja in Sirce iz Kira?
Aren't the Ethiopians as important to me as you, people of Israel? asks the Lord. Yes, I brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir.
8 Glejte, oči Gospoda Boga so nad grešnim kraljestvom in uničil ga bom izpred obličja zemlje; le, da ne bom popolnoma uničil Jakobove hiše, « govori Gospod.
Watch out! I'm watching this sinful kingdom. I will eradicate it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not completely destroy the descendants of Jacob.
9 »Kajti glejte, zapovedal bom in Izraelovo hišo bom presejal med vse narode, kakor je žito presejano na situ, vendar niti najmanjše zrno ne bo padlo na zemljo.
See what I'm doing! I will give the command, and the people of Israel will be shaken among the nations like flour through a sieve, and nothing will fall to the ground.
10 Vsi grešniki mojega ljudstva bodo umrli pod mečem, ki pravijo: ›Zlo nas ne bo dohitelo niti nas ne bo srečalo.‹
All the sinners of my people will be killed by the sword—all those who say, “Nothing bad is going to happen; no disaster will fall on us.”
11 Na tisti dan bom vzdignil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in zaprl njegove vrzeli. In vzdignil bom njegove ruševine in zgradil ga bom kakor v dneh davnine,
On that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David; I will repair the broken walls, I will rebuild the ruins, and I will make it as it was in days of old.
12 da bodo lahko vzeli v last preostanek Edóma in vseh poganov, ki so imenovani z mojim imenom, « govori Gospod, ki to dela.
And they will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations that were once mine, declares the Lord. He will make this happen.
13 »Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod, »ko bo orač prehitel žanjca in tlačitelj grozdja tistega, ki seje seme, in gore bodo kapljale sladko vino in vsi hribi se bodo topili.
Look! The time is coming, says the Lord, when the reaper will overtake the plowman, and the one who treads the grapes will overtake the one who sows the seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and flow from all the hills.
14 Ponovno bom privedel ujetništvo svojega ljudstva Izraela in zgradili bodo opustošena mesta in jih poselili, in sadili bodo vinograde in pili njihovo vino; prav tako bodo naredili vrtove in jedli njihov sad.
I will bring my people back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and they shall live in them. They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will plant gardens and eat the fruit they produce.
15 Jaz jih bom zasadil na njihovi deželi in ne bodo več potegnjeni iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal, « govori Gospod, tvoj Bog.
I will plant them in their own land, and they shall never be uprooted again from the land I have given them, declares the Lord your God.
