Amos 6
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
Jao bezbrižnima na Sionu i spokojnima na samarijskoj gori, nazvanima “prvina naroda”, kojima se obraća dom Izraelov.
2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
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?
3 You have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
Mislite: daleko je kobni dan, a primičete vlast nasilja.
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje;
5 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala k'o David,
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief of Joseph.
piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al' za slom Josipov ne mare.
7 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
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.”
9 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
Ako i deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kući, umrijet će.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind the name of the Lord.”
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.”
11 For behold, the Lord has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
Jer, gle, Jahve zapovjedi, i velika se kuća ruši u komade, mala se kuća ori u komadiće.
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
Jure li konji po litici, ore li se more volovima, da vi pretvarate pravdu u otrov a plod pravednosti u pelin?
13 You rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
Vi se radujete Lo Dabaru kad velite: “Nismo li svojom snagom zauzeli Karnajim?”
14 For behold, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
“Ha, evo, dome Izraelov, dižem na te - riječ je Jahve, Boga nad Vojskama - narod što će vas tlačiti od Ulaza hamatskoga do Pustinjskog potoka.”
