¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

¹To mi je pokazal Gospod Jehova: Glej, koš z zrelim sadjem.

²And 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.

²In reče: Kaj vidiš, Amos? Odgovorim: Koš z zrelim sadjem. In mi reče GOSPOD: Konec je prišel na ljudstvo moje Izraela; ne pojdem več mimo njega, prizanašajoč mu.

³And 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.

³In petje v palači se izprevrže v plakanje tisti dan, govori Gospod Jehova; trupel bo množica, vsepovsod jih bodo metali natihoma.

⁴Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

⁴Čujte to vi, ki bi hoteli pogoltniti potrebnega in uničiti ubožce v deželi,

⁵Saying, 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?

⁵ki govorite: Da bi le že minil mlaj, da bi prodajali žito, in sobota, da odpremo žitnice, da zmanjšamo mero in povišamo ceno in varamo z lažnivo tehtnico!

⁶That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

⁶da kupimo siromaka za denar in potrebnega za par čevljev in da prodamo pleve za žito!

⁷The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁷GOSPOD je prisegel pri ponosu Jakobovem: Gotovo nikdar ne pozabim vseh njih del!

⁸Shall 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.

⁸Kako naj bi se za to ne tresla dežela in ne žaloval vsak prebivalec v njej? Res se vsa razlije kakor Nil, požene valove in upade kakor reka v Egiptu.

⁹And 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:

⁹In zgodi se tisti dan, govori Gospod Jehova, da ukažem solncu zaiti opoldne ter spravim temo nad zemljo ob belem dne.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰In izpremenim praznike vaše v žalovanje in vse pesmi vaše v žalostinke in napravim raševnike za vsaka ledja in spravim na vsako glavo plešo, in naredim deželo enako kakor ob žalovanju po edinem sinu in njen konec kakor dan bridkosti.

¹¹Behold, 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:

¹¹Glej, pridejo dnevi, govori Gospod Jehova, da pošljem lakoto v deželo, a ne bodo lačni kruha in ne žejni vode, ampak da poslušajo besede GOSPODOVE.

¹²And 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.

¹²In bodo tavali od morja do morja in od severa k vzhodu, tekali bodo semtertja, da iščejo besede GOSPODOVE, pa je ne bodo našli.

¹³In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

¹³Tisti dan bodo lepe device in zali mladeniči omedlevali od žeje,kateri prisegajo pri grehu Samarije in govore: Kakor res živi tvoj bog, o Dan! Tudi: Kakor res živi pot v Bersebo [T. j. pot k maliku, ali: bogočastje v Bersebi.]! in padejo in ne vstanejo več.

¹⁴They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

¹⁴kateri prisegajo pri grehu Samarije in govore: Kakor res živi tvoj bog, o Dan! Tudi: Kakor res živi pot v Bersebo [T. j. pot k maliku, ali: bogočastje v Bersebi.]! in padejo in ne vstanejo več.
