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].
¡Ay de los que viven tranquilos m Sión y confiados en el monte de Samaria, los magnates del primero de los pueblos, a los cuales acude la casa de Israel!
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].
Pasad a Calné, y ved; y de allí id adelante a Hamat la grande; y bajad a Gat de los filisteos. ¿Superan ellas acaso a estos reinos? ¿o es más espacioso su territorio que el vuestro?
3 You are trying to not think about a day when you will experience disasters, when [your enemies will come and] violently attack you.
Vosotros queréis alejar el día aciago, y aceleráis el imperio de la violencia.
4 You lie on beds [decorated with expensive] ivory, and on [soft] couches. You eat [the tender meat of] lambs and fat calves.
Duermen en divanes de marfil y se tienden sobre sus lechos; comen corderos del rebaño, y novillos sacados del establo.
5 You create/compose new songs and play them on your harps like [King] David did.
Cantan a gritos al son de la cítara, e inventan, como David, instrumentos músicos.
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.
Beben vino en copones, y se ungen con el óleo más exquisito, sin compadecerse del quebranto de José.
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).
Por eso irán ahora al cautiverio, los primeros de los deportados, y desaparecerá la batahola de los banqueteadores.
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.”
Yahvé, el Señor ha jurado por sí mismo —oráculo del Dios de los ejércitos—. “Aborrezco la gloria de Jacob, y detesto sus palacios; entregaré la ciudad y cuanto contiene.”
9 [When that happens, ] if there are ten people in one house, they will all die.
Si quedaren diez hombres en una casa, también ellos morirán.
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]!”
Llevará (al muerto) su tío, el cual ha de quemarlo; y sacando de la casa los huesos dirá al que está en el fondo de la casa: “¿Queda algún otro?” Y él responderá: “No hay más.” Y (el primero) replicará: “¡Cállate! porque no hay que mencionar el Nombre de Yahvé.”
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.
Pues he aquí que Yahvé da la orden, y herirá la casa grande con hendiduras, y la casa chica con quebraduras.
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.
¿Corren acaso los caballos por las peñas? ¿O se puede arar (allí) con bueyes? Así vosotros trocáis en veneno el juicio, y el fruto de justicia en ajenjo;
13 You are proud because you have captured Lo-Debar [town], and you have said, “We captured Karnaim by our own power!”
os regocijáis en lo que es nada, diciendo: “¿No nos hemos hecho poderosos con nuestra propia fuerza?”
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].”
“Mas he aquí que voy a suscitar contra vosotros, una nación, oh casa de Israel —oráculo de Yahvé, Dios de los ejércitos—, (un pueblo) que os oprimirá desde la entrada de Hamat hasta el torrente del Arabá.
