Amos 6
1 Woe [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident on the mountain of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And the house of Israel has come to them.
Jao bezbrižnima na Sionu i spokojnima na samarijskoj gori, nazvanima “prvina naroda”, kojima se obraća dom Izraelov.
2 Pass over [to] Calneh and see, And go there [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? [Is] their border greater than 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 Who are putting away the day of evil, And you bring the seat of violence near,
Mislite: daleko je kobni dan, a primičete vlast nasilja.
4 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje;
5 Who are taking part according to the stringed instrument, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala k'o David,
6 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And anoint themselves [with] chief perfumes, And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al' za slom Josipov ne mare.
7 Therefore they now go at the head of the captives, And the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones is turned aside.
Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika.
8 Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts: “I am abominating the excellence of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fullness.”
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 are left ten persons in one house, It has come to pass—that they have died.
Ako i deset ljudi ostane u jednoj kući, umrijet će.
10 And his loved one has lifted him up, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, “Is there [any] yet with you?” And he said, “None,” Then he said, “Hush! We must not make mention of the Name of YHWH.”
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, YHWH is commanding, And He has struck the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
Jer, gle, Jahve zapovjedi, i velika se kuća ruši u komade, mala se kuća ori u komadiće.
12 Do horses run on a rock? Does one plow [it] with oxen? For you have turned judgment to gall, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
Jure li konji po litici, ore li se more volovima, da vi pretvarate pravdu u otrov a plod pravednosti u pelin?
13 O you who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, “Have we not taken to ourselves horns by our strength?”
Vi se radujete Lo Dabaru kad velite: “Nismo li svojom snagom zauzeli Karnajim?”
14 “Surely, behold, I am raising a nation against you, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, God of Hosts, “And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, To the stream 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.”
