1Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
1Počujte toto slovo, vy bázanské kravy, ktoré ste na vrchu Samárie a ktoré utiskujete chudobných a drtíte biednych, ktoré hovoríte svojim pánom: Dones, a budeme piť!
2The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
2Pán Hospodin prisahal na svoju svätosť, že hľa, idú na vás dni, že vás vezmú preč za háky a to, čo zostane po vás, na rybárske udice.
3And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.
3A vyjdete trhlinami idúc každá priamo pred seba, a odvrhnete palác, hovorí Hospodin.
4Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
4Poďte do Bét-ela a prestupujte zákon Boží, do Gilgala, rozmnožujte prestúpenia a potom ráno donášajte svoje bitné obeti, tretieho dňa svoje desiatky!
5And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
5A kaďte z kvaseného obeť chvály a prevolajte dobrovoľné obeti, rozhláste! Lebo vy to tak radi, synovia Izraelovi, hovorí Pán Hospodin.
6And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
6A preto som i ja vám dal čistotu zubov vo všetkých vašich mestách a nedostatok chleba na všetkých vašich miestach, avšak nenavrátili ste sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin.
7And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
7A preto som i ja zadržal od vás dážď, keď bolo ešte tri mesiace do žatvy, a dal som, aby pršalo na jedno mesto, a na druhé mesto som nedal pršať; jedna čiastka poľa bola zvlažená dažďom, a druhá čiastka, na ktorú nepršalo, uschla.
8So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
8A tak sa túlaly dve, tri mestá do jedného mesta, aby sa napily vody, ale sa nenapily, čo by boly maly dosť, a nenavrátili ste sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin.
9I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
9Bil som vás suchom a rudou; množstvo vašich zahrád a viníc, vašich fíkov a olív požraly húsenice, a nenavrátili ste sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin.
10I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
10Poslal som na vás mor ako kedysi na Egypt, pobil som vašich mládencov mečom vydajúc zároveň vaše kone do zajatia a spôsobil som to, aby vystúpil smrad vašich táborov, a to do vašich nozdier, a nenavrátili ste sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin.
11I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
11Podvrátil som niektorých medzi vami tak, ako čo Bôh podvrátil Sodomu a Gomoru, a boli ste jako hlaveň, vytrhnutá z ohňa, a nenavrátili ste sa ku mne, hovorí Hospodin.
12Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
12Preto ti tak učiním, Izraelu, a preto, že ti to učiním, priprav sa vústrety svojmu Bohu, Izraelu!
13For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
13Lebo hľa, ten, ktorý utvoril vrchy a stvoril vietor a ktorý oznamuje človekovi, čo myslí; ktorý činí rannú zoru mrákavou a kráča po výšinách zeme, Hospodin, Bôh Zástupov, je jeho meno!
