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!
1Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who [are] in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: `Bring in, and we do drink.`
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.
2Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
3A vyjdete trhlinami idúc každá priamo pred seba, a odvrhnete palác, hovorí Hospodin.
3And [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that] over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.
4Poďte do Bét-ela a prestupujte zákon Boží, do Gilgala, rozmnožujte prestúpenia a potom ráno donášajte svoje bitné obeti, tretieho dňa svoje desiatky!
4Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.
5A kaďte z kvaseného obeť chvály a prevolajte dobrovoľné obeti, rozhláste! Lebo vy to tak radi, synovia Izraelovi, hovorí Pán Hospodin.
5And perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord 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.
6And I also — I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And ye have not turned back unto Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
7And I also — I have withheld from you the rain. While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it raineth not withereth.
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.
8And wandered have two or three cities, Unto the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of 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.
9I have smitten you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, Eat doth the palmer-worm, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of 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.
10I have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain by sword your choice ones, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up — even into your nostrils, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of 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.
11I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
12Preto ti tak učiním, Izraelu, a preto, že ti to učiním, priprav sa vústrety svojmu Bohu, Izraelu!
12Therefore, thus I do to thee, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
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!
13For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] His name!
