Amos 1
1 Besede Amosa, ki je bil med čredniki iz Tekóe, ki jih je videl glede Izraela v dneh Uzíjaha, Judovega kralja in v dneh Jerobeáma, Jehoáševega sina, Izraelovega kralja, dve leti pred potresom.
Here is the message that was given to Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa in Judah. This is what he saw concerning Israel when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, was king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
2 Rekel je: » Gospod bo rjovel iz Siona in izustil svoj glas iz Jeruzalema in prebivališča pastirjev bodo žalovala in vrh Karmela se bo posušil.«
And he said, The Lord roars from Zion, he shouts from Jerusalem. The shepherds' pastures wither, the top of Mount Carmel dries up.
3 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Damaska in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so Gileád mlatili z mlatilnimi orodji iz železa.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Damascus have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they beat the people of Gilead with sharp iron threshing tools.
4 Temveč bom poslal ogenj v Hazaélovo hišo, ki bo použil Ben Hadádove palače.
So I will send fire down on the house of Hazael and burn up Ben-Hadad's fortresses.
5 Zlomil bom tudi zapah Damaska in iztrebil prebivalca iz ravnine Aven in tistega, ki drži žezlo, iz edenske hiše in ljudstvo iz Sirije bo šlo v ujetništvo v Kir, « govori Gospod.
I will smash the gates of Damascus, I will cut down those who live in the Valley of Aven, and the ruler from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported as prisoners to the land of Kir, says the Lord.
6 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Gaze in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njene kazni, ker so odvedli proč ujete, celotno ujetništvo, da jih izročijo Edómu;
This is what the Lord says: The people of Gaza have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they sent into exile whole communities, handing them over to Edom.
7 toda poslal bom ogenj na obzidje Gaze, ki bo pogoltnil njene palače
So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza and burn up its fortresses.
8 in iztrebil bom prebivalca iz Ašdóda in tistega, ki drži žezlo iz Aškelóna. Svojo roko bom obrnil zoper Ekrón in preostanek Filistejcev bo izginil, « govori Gospod Bog.
I will cut down those who live in Ashdod and the ruler of Ashkelon. I will turn to punish Ekron and the Philistines who remain will die, says the Lord God.
9 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Tira in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so celotno ujetništvo izročili Edómu in se niso spomnili bratske zaveze.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Tyre have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they exiled whole communities, handing them over to Edom, and did not keep their agreement to help each other as members of the same family.
10 Toda jaz bom na obzidje Tira poslal ogenj, ki bo požrl njegove palače.«
So I will send down fire on the walls of Tyre and burn up its fortresses.
11 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Edóma in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker je svojega brata zasledoval z mečem in zavrgel vse usmiljenje in je njegova jeza neprestano trgala in je svoj bes ohranjal na veke;
This is what the Lord says: The people of Edom have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, for they hunted down the Israelites to whom they were related, killing them with swords. They attacked without mercy, tearing the Israelites to pieces in an angry rage that never stopped.
12 toda poslal bom ogenj nad Temán, ki bo požrl palače v Bocri.«
So I will send down fire on Teman, and I will burn up the fortresses of Bozrah.
13 Tako govori Gospod: »Zaradi treh prestopkov Amónovih otrok in zaradi štirih ne bom odvrnil njegove kazni, ker so razparali nosečnice iz Gileáda, da bi lahko razširili svojo mejo.
This is what the Lord says: The people of Ammon have repeatedly sinned and so I will not hesitate to punish them, because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead as part of their war to enlarge their territory.
14 Toda jaz bom zanetil ogenj na obzidju Rabe in ta bo požrl njene palače z vpitjem na dan bitke, z viharjem na dan vrtinčastega vetra.
I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn up its fortresses. There will be shouts on the day of battle which will whirl with rage like a windstorm.
15 Njihov kralj bo šel v ujetništvo, on in njegovi princi skupaj, « govori Gospod.
Their king will be sent into exile together with his princes, says the Lord.
