Amos 6
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and trust in the moutaine of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israel came to them.
Jao bezbrižnima na Sionu i spokojnima na samarijskoj gori, nazvanima “prvina naroda”, kojima se obraća dom Izraelov.
2 Goe you vnto Calneh, and see: and from thence goe you to Hamath the great: then goe downe to Gath of the Philistims: be they better then these kingdomes? or the border of their land greater then your border,
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 Ye that put farre away the euill day, and approch to the seate of iniquitie?
Mislite: daleko je kobni dan, a primičete vlast nasilja.
4 They lie vpon beddes of yuorie, and stretch themselues vpon their beddes, and eate the lambes of the flocke, and the calues out of the stall.
Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje;
5 They sing to the sounde of the viole: they inuent to themselues instruments of musike like Dauid.
deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala k'o David,
6 They drinke wine in bowles, and anoynt themselues with the chiefe ointments, but no man is sory for the affliction of Ioseph.
piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al' za slom Josipov ne mare.
7 Therefore nowe shall they go captiue with the first that go captiue, and the sorow of them that stretched themselues, is at hand.
Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika.
8 The Lord God hath sworne by himselfe, saith the Lord God of hostes, I abhorre the excellencie of Iaakob, and hate his palaces: therefore wil I deliuer vp the citie with all that is therein.
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 And if there remaine ten men in one house, they shall die.
Ako i deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kući, umrijet će.
10 And his vncle shall take him vp and burne him to cary out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him, that is by ye sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for we may not remember 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 commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the litle house with clefts.
Jer, gle, Jahve zapovjedi, i velika se kuća ruši u komade, mala se kuća ori u komadiće.
12 Shal horses runne vpon the rocke? or wil one plowe there with oxen? for yee haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnes into wormewood.
Jure li konji po litici, ore li se more volovima, da vi pretvarate pravdu u otrov a plod pravednosti u pelin?
13 Ye reioyce in a thing of nought: yee say, Haue not wee gotten vs hornes by our owne strength?
Vi se radujete Lo Dabaru kad velite: “Nismo li svojom snagom zauzeli Karnajim?”
14 But behold, I wil raise vp against you a nation, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord God of hostes: and they shall afflict you, from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of the wildernes.
“Ha, evo, dome Izraelov, dižem na te - riječ je Jahve, Boga nad Vojskama - narod što će vas tlačiti od Ulaza hamatskoga do Pustinjskog potoka.”
