Amos, 7

1. These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the locust was formed at the beginning of the germination during the latter rains, and behold, the latter rains came after the thundering of the king.

1. Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, sazda skakavce kad otava poèe nicati, otava nakon kraljevske kosidbe.

2. And it happened, when they had finally eaten all the grass in the land, that I said, “Lord God, be gracious, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”

2. Kad izjedoše sav zemaljski usjev, rekoh: "Jahve Gospode, oprosti, molim te! Kako æe Jakov preživjeti onako malen?"

3. The Lord has been merciful about this. “It will not be,” said the Lord.

3. I Jahve se stoga pokaja: "Neæe biti", reèe Jahve.

4. These things the Lord God has revealed to me. And behold, the Lord God called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the manifold abyss, and it consumed simultaneously in every direction.

4. Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: Gle, Jahve Gospod pozva oganj da kažnjava; veæ proždrije veliki Bezdan i uprav poèe gutati polje.

5. And I said, “Lord God, cease, I beg you. Who will raise up Jacob, for he is little?”

5. A ja æu: "Stani, Jahve Gospode, molim te! Kako æe Jakov preživjeti onako malen?"

6. The Lord has been merciful about this. “And even this will not be,” said the Lord God.

6. I Jahve se stog pokaja: "Ni ovoga neæe biti", reèe Jahve Gospod.

7. These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason’s trowel.

7. Evo što mi Jahve Gospod pokaza: gle, èovjek stoji na zidu, u ruci mu visak.

8. And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A mason’s trowel.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.

8. "Što vidiš, Amose?" - upita me Jahve. "Visak", rekoh. Tada Gospod reèe: "Evo, izmjerit æu viskom svoj narod izraelski; neæu ga više štedjeti.

9. And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”

9. Razorit æe se uzvišice Izakove, opustjeti svetišta izraelska, i s maèem æu ustati na kuæu Jeroboamovu."

10. And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.

10. Amasja, sveæenik betelski, poruèi izraelskom kralju Jeroboamu: "Amos se urotio protiv tebe usred doma Izraelova; zemlja ne može više podnijeti njegovih rijeèi.

11. For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’ ”

11. Jer ovako on govori: 'Jeroboam æe poginuti od maèa, a Izrael æe iz svoje zemlje u izgnanstvo.'"

12. And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

12. Amasja reèe Amosu: "Odlazi, vidioèe! Bježi u zemlju Judinu, ondje jedi kruh i ondje prorokuj!

13. And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”

13. Ali u Betelu da više nisi prorokovao, jer ovo je kraljevsko svetište, kraljevski hram."

14. And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.

14. "Nisam bio prorok ni proroèki sin" - odgovori Amos Amasji - "bio sam stoèar i gajio sam divlje smokve:

15. And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ ”

15. ali me Jahve uze od stada i Jahve mi reèe: 'Idi, prorokuj mojemu narodu Izraelu.'

16. And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.”

16. Sada èuj rijeè Jahvinu. Ti veliš: 'Ne prorokuj protiv Izraela, ne prorièi protiv doma Izakova.'

17. Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.”

17. Zato ovako govori Jahve: 'Tvoja æe žena bludnièit' po gradu, sinovi tvoji i kæeri od maèa æe pasti, tvoja æe se zemlja užetom razdijeliti, a ti æeš umrijeti na neèistu tlu, i Izrael æe otiæi u izgnanstvo iz svoje zemlje.'"
