1Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
1Počujte toto slovo, ktoré hovorí Hospodin proti vám, synovia Izraelovi, proti všetkej čeľadi, ktorú som vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme, hovoriac:
2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
2Len vás som poznal zo všetkých čeľadí zeme, preto navštívim na vás všetky vaše neprávosti.
3Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
3Či azda pojdú dvaja spolu bez toho, že by sa shodli?
4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
4Či zareve lev v lese, keď by nebolo pre neho koristi? Či vydá ľvíča svoj hlas zo svojej peleše bez toho, že by bolo lapilo?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
5Či padne vtáča do osídla na zemi, keď mu niet smečky? Či sa zdvihne osídlo od zeme, keď nechytilo ničoho?
6Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?
6Či sa zatrúbi na trúbu v meste, a ľud sa nesbehne v strachu? Či sa deje voľačo zlé v meste, a Hospodin neučinil?
7Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
7Lebo Pán Hospodin nečiní ničoho, krome keď zjavil svoju tajnú radu svojim služobníkom prorokom.
8The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
8Lev reve, kto by sa nebál? Pán Hospodin hovorí, kto by neprorokoval?
9Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof.
9Rozhláste na palácoch v Ašdóde a na palácoch v Egyptskej zemi a povedzte: Soberte sa na vrchy Samárie a vidzte veľké nepokoje prostred nej a utiskovaných v jej strede!
10For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
10A nevedia robiť toho, čo je pravé, hovorí Hospodin, ktorí hromadia ukrutnosť a zkazu vo svojich palácoch.
11Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary [there shall be], even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
11Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Nepriateľ! A to kolom dookola zeme, a strhne s teba tvoju silu, a vylúpené budú tvoje paláce.
12Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
12Takto hovorí Hospodin: Tak ako keď vytrhne pastier dva hnáty alebo kus ucha z tlamy ľva, tak budú vytrhnutí synovia Izraelovi, ktorí sedia v Samárii v kúte na posteli a na damašku lože.
13Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts.
13Čujte a svedčite v dome Jakobovom, hovorí Pán Hospodin, Bôh Zástupov,
14For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
14že toho dňa, ktorého navštívim prestúpenia Izraelove na ňom, navštívim aj oltáre Bét-ela, a budú odťaté rohy oltára a padnú na zem.
15And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
15A zbijem zimný dom s letným domom; zhynú domy zo slonovej kosti, a bude koniec mnohým domom, hovorí Hospodin.
