Amos 6
1 Jao bezbrižnima na Sionu i spokojnima na samarijskoj gori, nazvanima “prvina naroda”, kojima se obraća dom Izraelov.
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.
2 Krenite u Kalnu i vidite, idite odande u Veliki Hamat, siđite u Gat filistejski. Jeste li bolji od tih kraljevstava? Je li im područje veće od vašega?
Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Mislite: daleko je kobni dan, a primičete vlast nasilja.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje;
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;
5 deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala k'o David,
that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;
6 piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al' za slom Josipov ne mare.
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.
7 Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika.
Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Zakle se Gospod Jahve samim sobom - riječ je Jahve, Boga nad Vojskama: “Gnušam se oholosti Jakovljeve i mrzim dvorce njegove, predat ću grad i sve u njemu.”
The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Ako i deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kući, umrijet će.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 Rođak će i spaljivač prionuti da iznesu kosti iz kuće; ako bi tko upitao onog u kutu kuće: “Je li još tko ostao s tobom?” on će odvratiti: “Ne! Pst! Jahvino se ime ne smije spomenuti.”
And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name.
11 Jer, gle, Jahve zapovjedi, i velika se kuća ruši u komade, mala se kuća ori u komadiće.
For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Jure li konji po litici, ore li se more volovima, da vi pretvarate pravdu u otrov a plod pravednosti u pelin?
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 Vi se radujete Lo Dabaru kad velite: “Nismo li svojom snagom zauzeli Karnajim?”
— ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us power by our own strength?
14 “Ha, evo, dome Izraelov, dižem na te - riječ je Jahve, Boga nad Vojskama - narod što će vas tlačiti od Ulaza hamatskoga do Pustinjskog potoka.”
For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah.
