Amos 5
1 You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
Dengarlah perkataan ini yang kuucapkan tentang kamu sebagai ratapan, hai kaum Israel:
2 “You are like [MET] a young woman, but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down and you will never get up again! You will lie on the ground, abandoned, and there will be no one to help you stand up.”
"Telah rebah, tidak akan bangkit-bangkit lagi anak dara Israel, terkapar di atas tanahnya, tidak ada yang membangkitkannya."
3 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to the people [MTY] of Israel: [“When your enemies attack you, ] and when 1,000 [of your soldiers] will go [to a battle], there will be only 100 who will survive. When 100 soldiers march out [from a city to fight], there will be only ten who will remain alive.”
Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada kaum Israel: "Kota yang maju berperang dengan seribu orang, dari padanya akan tersisa seratus orang, dan yang maju berperang dengan seratus orang, dari padanya akan tersisa sepuluh orang."
4 Yahweh continues to say to the people [MTY] of Israel: “You Israeli people, return to me! If you do that, you will continue to remain alive.
Sebab beginilah firman TUHAN kepada kaum Israel: "Carilah Aku, maka kamu akan hidup!
5 Do not go to Bethel to seek [my help]; do not go to Gilgal [to worship]; do not [even] go to Beersheba, because [your enemies] will drag away [the people of] Gilgal to other countries, and Bethel will be completely destroyed.”
Janganlah kamu mencari Betel, janganlah pergi ke Gilgal dan janganlah menyeberang ke Bersyeba, sebab Gilgal pasti masuk ke dalam pembuangan dan Betel akan lenyap."
6 So, come to Yahweh; if you do that, you will remain alive. If you do not do that, Yahweh will descend on you descendants [MTY] of Joseph like [SIM] a fire; that fire will burn everything in Bethel, and (nothing/no one) will be able to save that town.
Carilah TUHAN, maka kamu akan hidup, supaya jangan Ia memasuki keturunan Yusuf bagaikan api, yang memakannya habis dengan tidak ada yang memadamkan bagi Betel.
7 You people distort what is fair/right and cause [people to think that] it is something that is very bitter; you treat good things as though they are evil.
Hai kamu yang mengubah keadilan menjadi ipuh dan yang mengempaskan kebenaran ke tanah!
8 [Do you know who] created all the groups of stars and put them in their places? [Each morning] he causes the darkness to become the dawn, and [each evening] he causes the daylight to become darkness. He scoops up water from the oceans [to become clouds], and then he dumps the water [from the clouds] onto the earth. The one who does those things is named Yahweh.
Dia yang telah membuat bintang kartika dan bintang belantik, yang mengubah kekelaman menjadi pagi dan yang membuat siang gelap seperti malam; Dia yang memanggil air laut dan mencurahkannya ke atas permukaan bumi--TUHAN itulah nama-Nya.
9 He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
Dia yang menimpakan kebinasaan atas yang kuat, sehingga kebinasaan datang atas tempat yang berkubu.
10 [He is the one who will punish you] because you hate those who challenge anyone who tries to make unjust decisions, and you hate those who tell the truth in your courts.
Mereka benci kepada yang memberi teguran di pintu gerbang, dan mereka keji kepada yang berkata dengan tulus ikhlas.
11 You oppress poor people and force them to pay big taxes. You have built big stone mansions [for yourselves], but you will not be able to live in them. You have planted vineyards, but there will not be any [grapes for you to harvest to make] wine.
Sebab itu, karena kamu menginjak-injak orang yang lemah dan mengambil pajak gandum dari padanya, --sekalipun kamu telah mendirikan rumah-rumah dari batu pahat, kamu tidak akan mendiaminya; sekalipun kamu telah membuat kebun anggur yang indah, kamu tidak akan minum anggurnya.
12 I know all of your sins and the terrible crimes that you have committed. You oppress righteous/honest people, and you accept bribes. You do not allow judges to treat poor people justly.
Sebab Aku tahu, bahwa perbuatanmu yang jahat banyak dan dosamu berjumlah besar, hai kamu yang menjadikan orang benar terjepit, yang menerima uang suap dan yang mengesampingkan orang miskin di pintu gerbang.
13 This is a time when [many people do] evil things, so people who have good sense say nothing [when they hear about such things being done].
Sebab itu orang yang berakal budi akan berdiam diri pada waktu itu, karena waktu itu adalah waktu yang jahat.
14 In order to remain alive, you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right. If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you like you claim [that he always is].
Carilah yang baik dan jangan yang jahat, supaya kamu hidup; dengan demikian TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, akan menyertai kamu, seperti yang kamu katakan.
15 Love what is good, and hate what is evil! Try to cause [judges] in your courts to make decisions that are right/fair! If you do those things, perhaps the Commander of the armies of angels will act mercifully toward [you descendants of] Joseph who are still alive.
Bencilah yang jahat dan cintailah yang baik; dan tegakkanlah keadilan di pintu gerbang; mungkin TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, akan mengasihani sisa-sisa keturunan Yusuf.
16 “Because I, Yahweh, [will punish you for your sins], this is what I have solemnly declared: People will be wailing loudly in every street, and people will be very sorrowful in every plaza. Farmers will be summoned to [come and] weep, along with the other official mourners who will wail [for those who have died].
Sesungguhnya, beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, Tuhanku: "Di segala tanah lapang akan ada ratapan dan di segala lorong orang akan berkata: Wahai! Wahai! Petani dipanggil untuk berkabung dan orang-orang yang pandai meratap untuk mengadakan ratapan.
17 People will be wailing in your vineyards, because I will punish you [IDM] severely. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
Dan di segala kebun anggur akan ada ratapan, apabila Aku berjalan dari tengah-tengahmu," firman TUHAN.
18 Terrible things will happen to you who desire that it will soon be the day when Yahweh [will punish your enemies], because that will be a day of darkness, not of light.
Celakalah mereka yang menginginkan hari TUHAN! Apakah gunanya hari TUHAN itu bagimu? Hari itu kegelapan, bukan terang!
19 [At that time, ] when you try to run from a lion, you will face a bear. When you run into your house [to be safe], and you put your hand on a wall, it will be bitten by a snake.
Seperti seseorang yang lari terhadap singa, seekor beruang mendatangi dia, dan ketika ia sampai ke rumah, bertopang dengan tangannya ke dinding, seekor ular memagut dia!
20 That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
Bukankah hari TUHAN itu kegelapan dan bukan terang, kelam kabut dan tidak bercahaya?
21 [Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
"Aku membenci, Aku menghinakan perayaanmu dan Aku tidak senang kepada perkumpulan rayamu.
22 Even if you bring me offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings of grain, I will no longer accept them. Even if you bring me offerings to renew/maintain fellowship with me, I will not pay any attention to them.
Sungguh, apabila kamu mempersembahkan kepada-Ku korban-korban bakaran dan korban-korban sajianmu, Aku tidak suka, dan korban keselamatanmu berupa ternak yang tambun, Aku tidak mau pandang.
23 So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
Jauhkanlah dari pada-Ku keramaian nyanyian-nyanyianmu, lagu gambusmu tidak mau Aku dengar.
24 Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
Tetapi biarlah keadilan bergulung-gulung seperti air dan kebenaran seperti sungai yang selalu mengalir."
25 You Israeli people [MTY], your [ancestors] wandered through the desert for 40 years; and during that time, they never brought any sacrifices and offerings to me!
"Apakah kamu mempersembahkan kepada-Ku korban sembelihan dan korban sajian, selama empat puluh tahun di padang gurun itu, hai kaum Israel?
26 But they carried the two idols that they had made— the idols of Succoth, the god [that they considered to be] their king, and Kaiwan, [the image of the] star [that they worshiped].
Kamu akan mengangkut Sakut, rajamu, dan Kewan, dewa bintangmu, patung-patungmu yang telah kamu buat bagimu itu,
27 Therefore, now I will force you to go to [a country that is] far beyond Damascus! [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it!”
dan Aku akan membawa kamu ke dalam pembuangan jauh ke seberang Damsyik," firman TUHAN, yang nama-Nya Allah semesta alam.
