Amos 6
1 Terrible things will happen to you people in Jerusalem who are not worried about anything, and also to you leaders who live on Samaria Hill who think that you are safe. [You think that] [IRO] you are the most important people [in the world], people to whom Israeli people [MTY] go [to get help].
"Celaka atas orang-orang yang merasa aman di Sion, atas orang-orang yang merasa tenteram di gunung Samaria, atas orang-orang terkemuka dari bangsa yang utama, orang-orang yang kepada mereka kaum Israel biasa datang!
2 But go to Calneh [city] and see [what happened there]. Then go to [see] the great [city] Hamath [and see what happened there]. Then go down to Gath [city] in Philistia [and see what happened to their city walls]. Your land/country is certainly not [RHQ] larger or more powerful than their countries were, [but they were all destroyed].
Menyeberanglah ke Kalne, dan lihat-lihatlah; berjalanlah dari sana ke Hamat yang besar itu, dan pergilah ke Gat orang Filistin! Adakah mereka lebih baik dari kerajaan-kerajaan ini, atau lebih besarkah daerah mereka dari daerahmu?
3 You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
Hai kamu, yang menganggap jauh hari malapetaka, tetapi mendekatkan pemerintahan kekerasan;
4 You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
yang berbaring di tempat tidur dari gading dan duduk berjuntai di ranjang; yang memakan anak-anak domba dari kumpulan kambing domba dan anak-anak lembu dari tengah-tengah kawanan binatang yang tambun;
5 You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
yang bernyanyi-nyanyi mendengar bunyi gambus, dan seperti Daud menciptakan bunyi-bunyian bagi dirinya;
6 You drink entire bowlfuls of wine and you put expensive oils/perfumes on your bodies, but you do not grieve about [your country of] Israel [MTY], which is about to be destroyed.
yang minum anggur dari bokor, dan berurap dengan minyak yang paling baik, tetapi tidak berduka karena hancurnya keturunan Yusuf!
7 Your feasting and lounging [on soft couches] will soon end, and you will be among the first ones to be forced [by your enemies] to go (into exile/to another country).
Sebab itu sekarang, mereka akan pergi sebagai orang buangan di kepala barisan, dan berlalulah keriuhan pesta orang-orang yang duduk berjuntai itu."
8 Yahweh the Lord has solemnly declared this: “I hate the people of Israel because they are very proud; I detest their fortresses. I will enable [their enemies] to capture their [capital] city and everything in it.”
Tuhan ALLAH telah bersumpah demi diri-Nya, --demikianlah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam--:"Aku ini keji kepada kecongkakan Yakub, dan benci kepada purinya; Aku akan menyerahkan kota serta isinya."
9 [When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
Dan jika masih tinggal sepuluh orang dalam satu rumah, mereka akan mati.
10 If a relative who (has the task of/is responsible for) burning their corpses comes to the house and inquires of anyone who is still hiding there, “Is there anyone here with you?”, and that person replies “No,” [the one who inquired] will say, “Be quiet! We must not mention the name of Yahweh, [lest he cause us also to be killed]!”
Dan jika pamannya, pembakar mayat itu, yang datang mengangkat dan mengeluarkan mayat itu dari rumah itu, bertanya kepada orang yang ada di bagian belakang rumah: "Adakah lagi orang bersama-sama engkau?" dan dijawab: "Tidak ada," ia akan berkata: "Diam!" Sebab tidaklah patut menyebut-nyebut nama TUHAN!
11 [Terrible things like that will happen] because Yahweh has commanded that large houses [in Israel] must be smashed into pieces, and small houses must be smashed into tiny bits.
Sebab sesungguhnya, TUHAN memberi perintah, maka rumah besar dirobohkan menjadi reruntuhan dan rumah kecil menjadi rosokan.
12 Horses certainly do not [RHQ] run on big rocks, and certainly people do not [RHQ] plow the sea with oxen. But you have [done things that no one should do]: You have distorted what is fair/right and caused it to be considered like poison [MET]; you have changed what is right and consider it to be like things that are bitter.
Berlarikah kuda-kuda di atas bukit batu, atau dibajak orangkah laut dengan lembu? Sungguh, kamu telah mengubah keadilan menjadi racun dan hasil kebenaran menjadi ipuh!
13 You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
Hai kamu, yang bersukacita karena Lodabar, dan yang berkata: "Bukankah kita dengan kekuatan kita merebut Karnaim bagi kita?"
14 But the Commander of the armies of angels declares, “I will cause another nation to attack you people [MTY] of Israel; they will (oppress you/cause you to suffer) all the way from Hamath Pass [in the northwest] to the Dead Sea [in the southeast].”
"Sebab sesungguhnya, Aku akan membangkitkan suatu bangsa melawan kamu, hai kaum Israel," demikianlah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, "dan mereka akan menindas kamu dari jalan yang menuju ke Hamat sampai ke sungai yang di Araba."
