¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

¹Toto mi ukázal Pán Hospodin a hľa, tvoril kobylky na počiatku, keď začala rásť pozdná tráva, a hľa bola to tráva po kráľovom pôkose.

²And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

²A stalo sa, keď požraly bylinu zeme, že som povedal: Pane, Hospodine, odpusti, prosím! Ktože obstojí z Jakoba, lebo je beztak malý.

³The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

³Hospodin ľutoval toho. Nestane sa, riekol Hospodin.

⁴Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

⁴Potom mi ukázal Pán Hospodin, a hľa, Pán Hospodin volal pravotiť sa ohňom, a strávil veľkú priepasť a trávil podiel Hospodinov.

⁵Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

⁵A povedal som: Pane, Hospodine, prestaň, prosím! Ktože obstojí z Jakoba, lebo je beztak malý.

⁶The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

⁶Hospodin ľutoval toho. Nestane sa ani to, riekol Pán Hospodin.

⁷Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

⁷Zase mi ukázal, a hľa, Pán stál vedľa múru, postaveného podľa olovnice, a v jeho ruke bola olovnica.

⁸And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

⁸A Hospodin mi riekol: Čo vidíš, Ámose? A ja som povedal: Olovnicu. Na to riekol Pán: Hľa, položím olovnicu prostred svojho ľudu Izraela; neprejdem viacej len tak popri ňom.

⁹And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

⁹Ale spustnú výšiny Izákove, a svätyne Izraelove budú spustošené, a povstanem na dom Jeroboámov s mečom.

¹⁰Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

¹⁰Vtedy poslal Amaziáš, kňaz Bét-ela, k Jeroboámovi, izraelskému kráľovi, a povedal: Ámos sa sprisahal proti tebe prostred domu Izraelovho; zem už nemôže zniesť všetky tie jeho slová.

¹¹For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

¹¹Lebo takto hovorí Ámos. Jeroboám zomrie mečom, a Izrael bude istotne prestehovaný so svojej zeme.

¹²Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

¹²A Amaziáš povedal Ámosovi: Vidiaci, iď, uteč do zeme Júdovej a jedz tam chlieb a tam prorokuj!

¹³But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

¹³Ale v Bét-ele neprorokuj viacej, lebo je on svätyňou kráľovou a je domom kráľovstva.

¹⁴Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

¹⁴Ale Ámos odpovedal Amaziášovi a riekol: Ja nie som prorok ani nie som synom proroka, ale som pastier kráv a človek, ktorý oberá plané fíky.

¹⁵And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

¹⁵Ale Hospodin ma vzal zpoza stáda a povedal mi Hospodin: Idi, prorokuj môjmu ľudu Izraelovi.

¹⁶Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

¹⁶Preto teraz počuj slovo Hospodinovo: Ty hovoríš: Neprorokuj proti Izraelovi a nekvapkaj slovami na dom Izákov.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

¹⁷Preto takto hovorí Hospodin: Tvoja žena bude smilniť v meste, a tvoji synovia a tvoje dcéry padnú mečom, tvoja zem bude rozdelená merným lanom, a ty sám zomrieš na nečistej zemi, a Izrael bude istotne prestehovaný so svojej zeme.
