Amos 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Hear this word, O men of Israel, that the LORD pronounces over you, over the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt:	1 Počujte, sinovi Izraelovi, ovu riječ koju Jahve zbori protiv vas, protiv svakoga roda što ga izvedoh iz zemlje egipatske:
2 You alone have I favored, more than all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your crimes.	2 »Među svim plemenima zemaljskim samo vas poznah, zato ću vas kazniti za sve grijehe vaše.«
3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed?	3 Idu li dvojica zajedno da se ne dogovore?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when it has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from its den unless it has seized something?	4 Riče li lav u šumi ako plijena nema? Reži li lavić u brlogu ako ništa ne ulovi?
5 Is a bird brought to earth by a snare when there is no lure for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground without catching anything?	5 Pada l’ ptica na zemlju ako na njoj zamke nema? Diže li se mreža sa zemlje ako se ništa ne uhvati?
6 If the trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not be frightened? If evil befalls a city, has not the LORD caused it?	6 Trubi li truba po gradu da se narod ne uzbuni? Hoće li kob pogoditi grad ako je Jahve ne pošalje?
7 Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets.	7 Ništa ne čini Jahve Gospod a da osnove svoje ne otkrije slugama svojim prorocima.
8 The lion roars-- who will not be afraid! The Lord GOD speaks-- who will not prophesy!	8 Lav riče: tko da se ne prestravi? Gospod Jahve govori: tko da ne prorokuje?
9 Proclaim this in the castles of Ashdod, in the castles of the land of Egypt: "Gather about the mountain of Samaria, and see the great disorders within her, the oppression in her midst."	9 Proglasite ovo po dvorcima asirskim i po dvorcima u zemlji egipatskoj; recite: »Skupite se na planini Samarije, pogledajte velik nered u njoj i tlačenje posred nje.
10 For they know not how to do what is right, says the LORD, Storing up in their castles what they have extorted and robbed.	10 Jer ne znaju činiti pravo« – riječ je Jahvina – »u dvorcima gomilaju nasilje i tlačenje.«
11 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: An enemy shall surround the land, and strip you of your strength, and pillage your castles,	11 Stog ovako govori Jahve Gospod: »Neprijatelj će opkoliti zemlju, utvrde će tvoje razvaliti, tvoje dvorce oplijeniti.«
12 Thus says the LORD: As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion a pair of legs or the tip of an ear of his sheep, So the Israelites who dwell in Samaria shall escape with the corner of a couch or a piece of a cot.	12 Ovako govori Jahve: »Kao kad pastir istrgne dvije golijeni ili komadić uha iz lavljih ralja, tako će se istrgnuti sinovi Izraelovi koji sjede u Samariji na rubu počivaljke i na divanima.«
13 Hear and bear witness against the house of Jacob, says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts:	13 Čujte i posvjedočite protiv doma Jakovljeva – riječ je Jahve Gospoda, Boga nad vojskama:
14 On the day when I punish Israel for his crimes, I will visit also the altars of Bethel: The horns of the altar shall be broken off and fall to the ground.	14 »Onoga dana kad kaznim Izraela za zločine, kaznit ću i žrtvenike betelske; žrtvenički će se rozi odlomiti i na tlo popadati.
15 Then will I strike the winter house and the summer house; The ivory apartments shall be ruined, and their many rooms shall be no more, says the LORD.	15 Razorit ću zimsku kuću i ljetnu kuću, propast će kuće bjelokosne. Mnogih će kuća nestati« – riječ je Jahvina.
