Amos 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.	1 Evo što mi pokaza Jahve Gospod: gle, kotarica zrela ploda:
2 "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. I answered, "A basket of ripe fruit." Then the LORD said to me: The time is ripe to have done with my people Israel; I will forgive them no longer.	2 »Što vidiš, Amose?« – upita me. »Kotaricu zrela ploda«, rekoh. Tada mi Jahve reče: »Moj narod izraelski dozreo je za propast; neću ga više štedjeti.
3 The temple songs shall become wailings on that day, says the Lord GOD. Many shall be the corpses, strewn everywhere.--Silence!	3 I hramske će pjevačice jaukati toga dana« – riječ je Jahve Gospoda – »bit će mnoštvo trupla, svuda će se bacati.«
4 Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!	4 Slušajte ovo, vi što gazite potrebnika i satirete uboge u zemlji!
5 "When will the new moon be over," you ask, "that we may sell our grain, and the sabbath, that we may display the wheat? We will diminish the ephah, add to the shekel, and fix our scales for cheating!	5 Kažete: »Kad li će mlađak proći, da prodamo žito, i subota, da tržimo pšenicu. Smanjujuć’ efu, povećavajući šekel, da varamo krivim mjerama:
6 We will buy the lowly man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat we will sell!"	6 da kupimo siromaha za novac, potrebita za sandale, i da prodajemo otražak od žita.«
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Never will I forget a thing they have done!	7 Zakle se Jahve ponosom Jakovljevim: »Dovijeka neću zaboraviti nijednoga vašeg djela.«
8 Shall not the land tremble because of this, and all who dwell in it mourn, While it rises up and tosses like the Nile, and settles back like the river of Egypt?	8 Neće l’ se od toga zemlja potresti, protužiti svi njeni stanovnici, neće li se sva podići kao Nil, spustiti kao rijeka egipatska?
9 On that day, says the Lord GOD, I will make the sun set at midday and cover the earth with darkness in broad daylight.	9 »Toga ću dana« – riječ je Jahve Gospoda – »učiniti da sunce zapadne u podne, i pomračit ću zemlju u po bijela dana.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentations. I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth and make every head bald. I will make them mourn as for an only son, and bring their day to a bitter end.	10 Okrenut ću svetkovine vaše u kuknjavu i sve vaše pjevanje u tužaljku; obući ću u kostrijet svako bedro, oćelavit ću svaku glavu. Bit će kao kad se tuži za jedincem, i što ostane, bit će kao dan gorčine.«
11 Yes, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, when I will send famine upon the land: Not a famine of bread, or thirst for water, but for hearing the word of the LORD.	11 »Evo, dani dolaze« – riječ je Jahve Gospoda – »kad ću poslati glad na zemlju, ne glad kruha ni žeđ vode, već slušanja riječi Jahvine.
12 Then shall they wander from sea to sea and rove from the north to the east In search of the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.	12 Tumarat će od mora do mora, od sjevera do istoka potucati se ištući riječ Jahvinu, ali je neće naći.«
13 On that day, fair virgins and young men shall faint from thirst;	13 »U onaj će dan obamirati od žeđi lijepe djevojke i mladići.
14 Those who swear by the shameful idol of Samaria, "By the life of your god, O Dan!" "By the life of your love, O Beersheba!" those shall fall, never to rise again.	14 Koji se kunu Grijehom samarijskim i zaklinju se: ‘Tako živ bio bog tvoj, Dane!’ i: ‘Tako živ bio Ljubimac tvoj, Beer Šebo!’ oni će pasti i nikad ustati neće.«
