Amos 6
1 Jao bezbrižnima na Sionu i spokojnima na samarijskoj gori, nazvanima “prvina naroda”, kojima se obraća dom Izraelov.
How disastrous it will be for you who have an easy life in Zion, and you who feel secure living on Mount Samaria—you who are the most famous men in all of Israel to whom people come for help!
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?
But go to Calneh, and see what took place there. Then go on to the great city of Hamath, and down to the Philistine city of Gath. Were they better kingdoms than yours? Did they have more territory than you?
3 Mislite: daleko je kobni dan, a primičete vlast nasilja.
You put out of your minds any thought of coming disaster, yet you are bringing closer the time when violence reigns.
4 Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje;
How disastrous it will be for you people who lie on beds decorated with ivory and lounge on couches, eating lamb from your flocks and fattened calves from the stall.
5 deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala k'o David,
You make up songs accompanied by the harp, thinking you're great composers like David.
6 piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al' za slom Josipov ne mare.
You drink wine by the bowlful, and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph's descendants.
7 Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika.
So you will be at the head of those led away into exile; the feasting and lazing around will be over.
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 God has sworn an oath on his own life. This is what the Lord God of power declares: I detest Jacob's arrogance and I hate his fortresses; I will hand over this city and all in it to the enemy.
9 Ako i deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kući, umrijet će.
If there are ten people in a house, they will 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 when a relative comes to take away the bodies from the house, he will ask someone inside “Is there anyone else with you?” The person will reply, “No...” Then the other will say, “Quiet! Don't even mention the Lord's name.”
11 Jer, gle, Jahve zapovjedi, i velika se kuća ruši u komade, mala se kuća ori u komadiće.
Watch out! When the Lord gives the command, large houses will be reduced to rubble, and small houses smashed to pieces.
12 Jure li konji po litici, ore li se more volovima, da vi pretvarate pravdu u otrov a plod pravednosti u pelin?
Can horses gallop over rocks? Can oxen plow the sea? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of doing good into bitterness!
13 Vi se radujete Lo Dabaru kad velite: “Nismo li svojom snagom zauzeli Karnajim?”
You joyfully celebrate your conquest of Lodebar, and say “Didn't we in our own strength capture Karnaim?”
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.”
Watch out, people of Israel! I am going to send an enemy nation to attack you, says the Lord God of power, and they will oppress you from the Pass of Hamath to the Arabah Valley.
