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].
Горе беспечным на Сионе и надеющимся на гору Самарийскую именитым первенствующего народа, к которым приходит дом Израиля!
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].
Пройдите в Калне и посмотрите, оттуда перейдите в Емаф великий и спуститесь в Геф Филистимский: не лучше ли они сих царств? не обширнее ли пределы их пределов ваших?
3 You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
Вы, которые день бедствия считаете далеким и приближаете торжество насилия, -
4 You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
вы, которые лежите на ложах из слоновой кости и нежитесь на постелях ваших, едите лучших овнов из стада и тельцов с тучного пастбища,
5 You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
поете под звуки гуслей, думая, что владеете музыкальным орудием, как Давид,
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.
пьете из чаш вино, мажетесь наилучшими мастями, и не болезнуете о бедствии Иосифа!
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).
За то ныне пойдут они в плен во главе пленных, и кончится ликование изнеженных.
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.”
Клянется Господь Бог Самим Собою, и так говорит Господь Бог Саваоф: гнушаюсь высокомерием Иакова и ненавижу чертоги его, и предам город и все, что наполняет его.
9 [When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
И будет: если в каком доме останется десять человек, то умрут и они,
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]!”
и возьмет их родственник их или сожигатель, чтобы вынести кости их из дома, и скажет находящемуся при доме: есть ли еще у тебя кто? Тот ответит: нет никого. И скажет сей: молчи! ибо нельзя упоминать имени Господня.
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.
Ибо вот, Господь даст повеление и поразит большие дома расселинами, а малые дома - трещинами.
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.
Бегают ли кони по скале? можно ли распахивать ее волами? Вы между тем суд превращаете в яд и плод правды в горечь;
13 You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
вы, которые восхищаетесь ничтожными вещами и говорите: “не своею ли силою мы приобрели себе могущество?”
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].”
Вот Я, говорит Господь Бог Саваоф, воздвигну народ против вас, дом Израилев, и будут теснить вас от входа в Емаф до потока в пустыне.
