Amos 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was forming a locust swarm when the late growth began to come up (the late growth after the king's mowing).	1 Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, sazda skakavce kad otava poče nicati, otava nakon kraljevske kosidbe.
2 While they were eating all the grass in the land, I said: Forgive, O Lord GOD! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!	2 Kad izjedoše sav zemaljski usjev, rekoh: »Jahve Gospode, oprosti, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?«
3 And the LORD repented of this. "It shall not be," said the Lord GOD.	3 I Jahve se stoga pokaja: »Neće biti«, reče Jahve.
4 Then the Lord GOD showed me this: he called for a judgment by fire. It had devoured the great abyss, and was consuming the land,	4 Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, Jahve Gospod pozva oganj da kažnjava; već proždrije veliki bezdan i upravo poče gutati polje.
5 when I said: Cease, O Lord GOD! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!	5 A ja ću: »Stani, Jahve Gospode, molim te! Kako će Jakov preživjeti onako malen?«
6 The LORD repented of this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.	6 I Jahve se stog pokaja: »Ni ovoga neće biti«, reče Jahve Gospod.
7 Then the Lord GOD showed me this: he was standing by a wall, plummet in hand.	7 Evo što mi Jahve Gospod pokaza: gle, čovjek stoji na zidu, u ruci mu visak.
8 The LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?" And when I answered, "A plummet," the Lord said: See, I will lay the plummet in the midst of my people Israel; I will forgive them no longer.	8 »Što vidiš, Amose?« – upita me Jahve. »Visak«, rekoh. Tada Gospod reče: »Evo, izmjerit ću viskom svoj narod izraelski; neću ga više štedjeti.
9 The high places of Isaac shall be laid waste, and the sanctuaries of Israel made desolate; I will attack the house of Jeroboam with the sword.	9 Razorit će se uzvišice Izakove, opustjeti svetišta izraelska, i s mačem ću ustati na kuću Jeroboamovu.«
10 Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam, king of Israel: "Amos has conspired against you here within Israel; the country cannot endure all his words.	10 Amasja, svećenik betelski, poruči izraelskom kralju Jeroboamu: »Amos se urotio protiv tebe usred doma Izraelova; zemlja ne može više podnijeti njegovih riječi.
11 For this is what Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be exiled from its land."	11 Jer ovako on govori: ‘Jeroboam će poginuti od mača, a Izrael će iz svoje zemlje u izgnanstvo.’«
12 To Amos, Amaziah said: "Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah! There earn your bread by prophesying,	12 Amasja reče Amosu: »Odlazi, vidioče! Bježi u zemlju Judinu, ondje jedi kruh i ondje prorokuj!
13 but never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal temple."	13 Ali u Betelu da više nisi prorokovao, jer ovo je kraljevsko svetište, kraljevski hram.«
14 Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, nor have I belonged to a company of prophets; I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores.	14 »Nisam bio prorok ni proročki sin« – odgovori Amos Amasji – »bio sam stočar i gajio sam divlje smokve:
15 The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.	15 ali me Jahve uze od stada i Jahve mi reče: ‘Idi, prorokuj mojemu narodu Izraelu.’
16 Now hear the word of the LORD!" You say: prophesy not against Israel, preach not against the house of Isaac.	16 Sada čuj riječ Jahvinu. Ti veliš: ‘Ne prorokuj protiv Izraela, ne proriči protiv doma Izakova.’
17 Now thus says the LORD: Your wife shall be made a harlot in the city, and your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Your land shall be divided by measuring line, and you yourself shall die in an unclean land; Israel shall be exiled far from its land.	17 Zato ovako govori Jahve: ‘Tvoja će žena bludničit’ po gradu, sinovi tvoji i kćeri od mača će pasti, tvoja će se zemlja užetom razdijeliti, a ti ćeš umrijeti na nečistu tlu, i Izrael će otići u izgnanstvo iz svoje zemlje.’«
