1 Ово ми показа Господ: Гле, котарица летњег воћа.
1 Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 И рече: Шта видиш, Амосе? А ја рекох: Котарицу летњег воћа. А Господ ми рече: Дође крај народу мом Израиљу, нећу га више пролазити.
2 He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
3 И песме ће црквене бити ридање у онај дан, говори Господ; биће мноштво мртвих телеса, која ће се свуда побацати ћутећи.
3 The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 Чујте ово, који прождирете убоге и сатирете сиромахе у земљи,
4 Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5 Говорећи: Кад ће проћи младина да продајемо жито? И субота да отворимо пшеницу? Умањујући ефу и повећавајући сикал и варајући лажним мерилима;
5 saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6 Да купујемо сиромахе за новце и убогог за једне опанке, и да продајемо очинке од пшенице.
6 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’”
7 Закле се Господ славом Јаковљевом: Нећу никада заборавити ниједно дело њихово.
7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Неће ли се земља потрести од тога, и протужити сваки који живи на њој? И неће ли се сва разлити као река? И неће ли се однети и потопити као од реке мисирске?
8 Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 И у онај дан, говори Господ Господ, учинићу да сунце зађе у подне, и помрачићу земљу за белог дана.
9 It will happen in that day,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10 И претворићу празнике ваше у жалост и све песме ваше у плач, и метнућу кострет око свих бедара, и учинићу да свака глава оћелави и да буде жалост као за јединцем, и крај ће јој бити као горак дан.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
11 Гле, иду дани, говори Господ Господ, кад ћу пустити глад на земљу, не глад хлеба ни жеђ воде, него слушања речи Господњих.
11 Behold, the days come,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing Yahweh’s words.
12 И потуцаће се од мора до мора, и од севера до истока трчаће тражећи реч Господњу, и неће је наћи.
12 They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek Yahweh’s word, and will not find it.
13 У то ће време обамирати лепе девојке и младићи од жеђи,
13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.
14 Који се куну кривицом самаријском и говоре: Тако да је жив Бог твој, Дане, и тако да је жив пут у Вирсавеју. И пашће, и неће више устати.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Those, moreover, who said, "In that day, saith the Lord, the sun shall go down at noon, and there shall be darkness over the earth in the clear day; and I will turn your feast days into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation," plainly announced that obscuration of the sun which at the time of His crucifixion took place …
… a soul's food, this its ornament, this its security; even as not to hear is famine and wasting; for "I will give them," saith He, "not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord." What then can be more wretched?

The Prophet Amos answers, And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at noon (for there was darkness from the sixth hour;) and the light shall grow dark over the earth in the day." What sort of season is this, O Prophet, and what sort of day?
