Knjiga proroka Amosa
Capitolo 8
1
Ovo mi pokaza Gospod: Gle, kotarica letnjeg voća.
2
I reče: Šta vidiš, Amose? A ja rekoh: Kotaricu letnjeg voća. A Gospod mi reče:
Dođe kraj narodu mom Izrailju,
neću ga više prolaziti.
3
I pesme će crkvene biti ridanje u onaj dan,
govori Gospod;
biće mnoštvo mrtvih telesa,
koja će se svuda pobacati ćuteći.
4
Čujte ovo, koji proždirete uboge i satirete siromahe u zemlji,
5
Govoreći: Kad će proći mladina da prodajemo žito?
I subota da otvorimo pšenicu?
Umanjujući efu i povećavajući sikal i varajući lažnim merilima;
6
Da kupujemo siromahe za novce i ubogog za jedne opanke,
i da prodajemo očinke od pšenice.
7
Zakle se Gospod slavom Jakovljevom:
Neću nikada zaboraviti nijedno delo njihovo.
8
Neće li se zemlja potresti od toga,
i protužiti svaki koji živi na njoj?
I neće li se sva razliti kao reka?
I neće li se odneti i potopiti kao od reke misirske?
9
I u onaj dan, govori Gospod Gospod,
učiniću da sunce zađe u podne,
i pomračiću zemlju za belog dana.
10
I pretvoriću praznike vaše u žalost
i sve pesme vaše u plač,
i metnuću kostret oko svih bedara,
i učiniću da svaka glava oćelavi
i da bude žalost kao za jedincem,
i kraj će joj biti kao gorak dan.
11
Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod Gospod,
kad ću pustiti glad na zemlju,
ne glad hleba ni žeđ vode,
nego slušanja reči Gospodnjih.
12
I potucaće se od mora do mora,
i od severa do istoka
trčaće tražeći reč Gospodnju,
i neće je naći.
13
U to će vreme obamirati lepe devojke i mladići od žeđi,
14
Koji se kunu krivicom samarijskom i govore:
Tako da je živ Bog tvoj, Dane,
i tako da je živ put u Virsaveju.
I pašće, i neće više ustati.
Amos
Capitolo 8
1
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3
And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4
¶ Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7
The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11
¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
13
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
