¹Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say to their lords, 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 Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness, that behold, days shall come upon you, when he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks;

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 by the breaches, every one straight before her, and ye shall be cast out to Harmon, saith Jehovah.

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 in the morning, your tithes every three days,

⁴Poďte do Bét-ela a prestupujte zákon Boží, do Gilgala, rozmnožujte prestúpenia a potom ráno donášajte svoje bitné obeti, tretieho dňa svoje desiatky!

⁵and burn a thank-offering with leaven, and proclaim, publish, voluntary offerings: for this pleaseth you, children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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 ye have not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

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 I also 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 [of land] 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.

⁸And two, three, cities wandered unto one city, to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

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; the palmer-worm hath devoured the multitude of your gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig-trees and your olive-trees: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

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, taking away captive your horses; and I made the stench of your camps to come up, even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

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 among you, like God's overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

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: 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 behold, he who formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, -- Jehovah, 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!
